Seems like the start crash did have an effect on Sagatas, who clearly underperforms. Luckily he is up against an Amateur manager so he still manages to secure his spot in the Semi-Finals. Vitolins puts in another superb performance, which won't be received well by the Estonian crowd, as he eliminates the final Estonian who was in contention, prolonging the country's podiumless streak. Pavilionis wins his race once again and books his place in the Semi-Final, guaranteeing that at least one Lithuanian will reach the Final. In our final match it's Mikšta who provides a surprise - by underperforming again, and allowing Mickus to take the match to a deciding third leg.

Sagatas is back! Another Elite win solidifies his status as the tournament favourite. Vici gives it his all but Vitolins has an answer to everything and gets to advance to the Semi-Final against Sagatas. Many people might consider this the "Mini-Final".
A puncture denies Polis of the chance to get a consolation point. Mikšta bounces back from last race's slump but it isn't enough as he is beaten by a superb performance from Mickus, setting up an All-Lithuanian, All-Pro Semi-Final.

The final remaining Estonian was eliminated and Vitolins is left as the only non-Lithuanian in play. The last time a Conti user reached the top 3 was back in season 1, when the founder of the tournament, Martynas Bražėnas, won the Cup with them. Mickus has a chance to become the second Conti user to reach the top 3.

The final legs of both matches end up very close. Seems like Sagatas lifted the throttle a bit but Vitolins still isn't able to match the score to have a chance of getting a consolation point. The Latvian will have to settle for the 3rd place match.
The other match, however, still had all to play for. Pavilionis and Mickus both put in strong performances in the final leg but Mickus ended up falling short. He will not be happy with his R12 result, which ended up being the most one-sided, but also the lowest-scoring one.

Sagatas' performances are showing a clear downwards trend. He manages to beat Pavilionis in this leg, but this match is far from over yet. Only Raimonds Urtāns has won The Baltic Cup as a Pro manager (S4), but he faced another Pro manager in the final, so getting an upset here would surely write Pavilionis' name in Baltic Cup history.
In the 3rd place match, it seems like both managers are channeling their frustration of not making the final, but Vitolins stays strong and grabs the advantage.

A rather anti-climactic end to the season.
Sagatas was just teasing Pavilionis last race, as he crushes his opponent this time to secure his FIFTH Baltic Cup title! Pavilionis should still be proud of his first podium finish, becoming only the 4th Lithuanian to achieve that milestone, and losing to perhaps the greatest Baltic manager of all time is definitely not something to be ashamed of.
Mickus wins his race yet again, but Vitolins stays strong and protects his country's honour. This is the Latvian's 4th podium appearance but it will still taste bitter as he would've definitely been able to reach the Final if it weren't for Sagatas. Mickus will not be happy with missing out on the podium despite his amazing performance.
