When the dust settled, the Top 8 emerged. Katsu came out on top with 3 players, Dash came second with 2, while Rhinar, Bravo, and Dorinthea were all represented with 1 player each. With the exception of our Mechanologist, this Road to Nationals event was dominated by the heroes of Welcome to Rathe.

However, only one hero could take the crown...
