It was a war of attrition this round with epic battles being fought all over the place, including the upset of the tournament so far.
After nearly 41,000 votes were cast this round (that’s over 65,000 votes total so far and a new 2nd round record!!), we have our Exquisite 8!!
(Quick Note: Apparently there was a glitch and some people were still able to cast votes after I closed the polls at 10pm. Those votes did not count towards the totals you see below.)
