Fans can’t wait to see Amy compete again in the annual Tournament of Champions, which will take place in November this year. The format will be slightly different from previous seasons, considering the number of super champions present in season 38.
Matt Amodio, who won 38 games when the 38-game season began in September 2021, and Mattea Roach, who won 23 games in May, will also join Amy in the highly anticipated tournament. The three contestants were so successful during their preliminary run that the producers decided that they would skip the quarter-final round and would automatically be added to the semi-final bracket.
