Heat games
Matt started with a very up-and-down debut against incumbent champ Neha Sood which ended on an unsolved crucial conundrum; this wouldn't be the first time it appeared in Fife's games. He managed six further victories which included four century games, and the 9-letter-word spots of BALLOTING, REACTIONS and WAISTLINE which was more than any other contestant in the series to date. However, in his eighth game against challenger Nick Tant it all came crashing down and Matt succumbed to his first defeat while missing out on Octochampdom in the process; the overwhelming factor in that loss being his non-scoring in three of the four numbers rounds. This left him with 720 points from 8 games, but due to a lack of octochamps across the series, it was still enough to eventually book a place in the June series finals.
