The quarterfinals are now done; here is Masters Breakdown #6! Here are some thoughts going into the semifinals:
1) Victoria
Victoria has dominated the run of play in all of her games in the first two rounds, picking up 54% of her buzzer attempts and average 25 correct per game. While she’s only 2-for-6 in Final, she still won 5 of her 6 games. While she was #1 in the quarters, the points reset to 0 in the semis; she might need to improve her record in Final Jeopardy in order to make sure she advances to the finals.
2) Yogesh
Yogesh finished the quarterfinals in the #2 position, picking up 10 points. Of the four semifinalists, he’s only 3-for-4 on Daily doubles, but he had the second-best overall Coryat of 94,200. Finding more Daily Doubles will absolutely help his chances of making it to May 22.
3) James
James finishing third in the quarterfinals is absolutely a surprise to a great number of fans at this point; that said, he was consistently outplayed by both Victoria and Yogesh. If things break the wrong way at the wrong time for James, he could be the player relegated after Monday.

4) Amy
Amy and Victoria were the only two players not to miss a Daily Double in the opening games. While her buzzer timing left something to be desired—she finished the opening games at just 39%—it certainly means there’s room for improvement. I’d like to see her make the final.
5) Mattea
Unfortunately, Mattea’s Masters journey has ended; they were in last place in both buzzer timing, Daily Double %age, and Final Jeopardy %age, but they did get one victory in this competition to keep them out of sixth. With the quality of play waiting in the next Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament, I fear that this might be the last we see of Mattea on the Jeopardy Masters stage.
6) Matt
While Matt had a moral victory in the respect that he was the only player to go 6-for-6 in Final, he gave 16 incorrect responses in the tournament and was unable to win any games. I don’t want my next statement to be seen as a criticism—because there’s somewhere around a million and a half reasons why it’s not—but I get the sense that Matt reached his peak in regular play and hasn’t quite been able to replicate that in later tournaments. (Though, again, to be fair, Matt took better advantage of that peak better than anyone else in the history of the show.)

I’m not going to give predictions for Game 2, as the prediction model would like to have the game data for Game 1. That said, as has been the case for most of the event, it slightly favors James—but the variance at this level basically means that anyone can win any time out; this one will come down to the vagaries of the Daily Doubles and Final Jeopardy.
What do you think will happen in the second round?
