Hey traders! What a day it was in the Hive World Cup. Out of four duels in the Quarterfinals, only one is left—two additional traders zeroed out in the last 24 hours, leaving us with only one duel to follow.
This astonishing turn of events was possible thanks to Spain, which surprisingly beat France 2-0 in the World Cup Semifinals.
Let’s see who who is safe and bid farewell to some Hive World Cup legends!
Quick Rules Summary
Finalists go 1v1, seeded by group score. Both traders reset to $500 for a short head-to-head window; whoever makes more profit advances. Single elimination, until one champion is left.
Best Trade of the Day
The best trade of the day goes to Joker_Poly, who correctly predicted that Israel would enact military exemption for Yeshiva students. Buying Yes shares for only 7.6c allowed him to make $732 profit and secured a place in the Semifinals.
Congrats!
Worst Trade of the Day
The worst trade of the day title goes to Raskell:
He lost $470 wrongly predicting the outcome of the France vs Spain World Cup game. This way he effectively lost the duel and finished his incredible run in the Quarterfinals with $3,672 in total profit.
Congrats!
Quarterfinals
Joker_Poly vs thonka
Joker_Poly is another trader who can feel safe. Not only did he win the best trade of the day, but also thonka lost another $220 on the France vs Spain World Cup game market.
This way, another duel is now effectively over. Congrats!
Maskache vs Rex416
Despite securing a victory over Rex416, Maskache continues to trade weather, making $600 in just two days of trading.
Congrats!
Raskell vs WeatherOnly
WeatherOnly played it safe yesterday and now he can celebrate. Raskell lost it all on a wrong prediction, getting the worst trade of the day title as a parting gift.
Congrats!
PMKFund vs BeefSlayer_
Thanks to the surprising result of the France vs Spain World Cup game, this is the last duel in which anything can change. BeefSlayer_ is currently in the lead with $212 in profit. He is trying to counter PMKFund’s strategic patience and avoid an outsized loss.
Now PMKFund will be forced to take on some risk. Will he manage to overtake BeefSlayer_? That’s the last question we need answered in these Quarterfinals.
Wrap Up
That’s all for today! We have only 48 hours left and our eyes are all on PMKFund and BeefSlayer_—who will take the final spot in the Semifinals and who will be forced to say goodbye?
Maybe we will now tomorrow.
See you tomorrow for another HIVE World Cup Recap!
