The 5th Round of the KO Game once again tested the predictive ability of Spanish managers. A total of 1,366 survivors advance to the next round, while 202 participants were eliminated in this decisive phase. The retention rate reached 87.1%, demonstrating that the majority of players managed to keep their participation alive in the Liga Endesa prediction tournament.
Manresa as the main executioner
The Kids&Us Manresa was the team that caused the most damage among the participating managers. Its victory at Nou Congost proved lethal for those betting on the opposite result, eliminating 69 users, which represents more than a third of the total casualties recorded during the round. This figure underscores the importance of accurate predictions in competitions of this caliber, where each match can determine the fate of hundreds of players.
Manresa's defeat was especially costly for those who trusted a different outcome, highlighting how matches in the Liga Endesa can radically change the competitive landscape of the game. Managers who did not accurately anticipate the outcome at the Catalan venue paid a high price for their prediction.
Wildcards save 87 participants
The wildcards once again demonstrated their strategic value in this phase of the tournament. A total of 87 participants were able to move forward thanks to the use of this tool, finding a second chance to continue in the title race. This resource has been fundamental in keeping the dream of conquering the KO Game alive, allowing managers who made miscalculations in their predictions to recover and keep competing.
The availability of wildcards in critical moments like Round 5 reflects the strategic design of the competition, where it is not only important to make accurate predictions but also to know when and how to utilize the available resources to maximize survival options.
Four gurus remain unbeaten
On the Wall of Gurus, the battle for absolute leadership continues without significant changes. The four survivors maintain their bets and all have advanced another round without facing elimination. Olga Lorente, Luisheel, Leyre Barriocanal, and Jorge (2colegas) are still in the running to become the ultimate guru of this edition of the tournament, with their prediction strategies working perfectly so far.
None of these four participants have fallen in this fifth round, keeping the battle open and generating uncertainty about who will go further in the competition. Their bets have proven accurate in each of the rounds played, solidifying their position as the main favorites to win the final title.
UCAM Murcia dominates preferences
Regarding managers' predictions for Round 5, UCAM Murcia was the most chosen team to win. A total of 704 users, representing 48.4% of the selections, bet on the Murcians. This majority confidence was rewarded, as the team did not disappoint expectations.
Together with UCAM Murcia, two other teams also met the managers' predictions. La Laguna Tenerife received the support of 250 users (17.2% of selections), while Surne Bilbao was chosen by 191 participants (13.1%). Both teams confirmed the trust placed in them, allowing managers who believed in their victories to continue in the competition.
Towards Round 6
With 1,366 survivors ready for the next phase, the competition enters increasingly selective territory. Round 6 promises new surprises and challenges for the managers who have managed to last this long. The combination of accuracy, strategy, and a bit of luck has allowed these participants to continue in the race for the KO Game title.
The participation and survival data reflect a highly competitive tournament where every decision counts. With a retention rate of 87.1% in Round 5, it is clear that the majority of managers are making solid predictions, although football surprises remain inevitable.
