AND SO WE FACE, THE FINAL CURTAIN! There's a multitude of factors that result in the Dutch duo getting out first. In any situation, they're simply the weakest pair in every scenario. In a combative situation where Tanis goes out first, Michiel's overreliance on his Noble Phantasms and lack of real game-changing abilities aside from them results in him being the weaker Servant when compared to Odysseus. On the Master front, Erwin's lack of magic to defend himself in combat (his avatars can attack, but Erwin himself is still ultimately defenseless) and his self-training result in a mage that can't fend for himself, unlike the highly mobile and exceptionally trained Marshall. If the contrasting situation is when Odysseus and Marshall fall due to Tanis' manipulations, she's far too smart and tactical to leave Michiel as a loose end. Therefore, although Michiel might actually outlast another pair dependent on the circumstance, he gets third place due to the fact he has absolutely no chance at winning. Tanis has the potential to lock up this victory for herself, but ultimately there are too many factors that set-up her up to fail just as easily. While Tanis and especially Cao Cao are both excellent strategists, Odysseus' tactical abilities are sound as well. The Lancer can easily come up with adaptable, fluid strategies that can provide a strong enough front to throw off Tanis' plans. While she's certainly capable of adapting, Cao Cao's inability to fight Odysseus head=on long enough for her to do so spells out trouble for her. Tanis' own magic is very powerful, but her lack of combat experience will put her on even footing against the equally inexperienced but thoroughly trained Marshall and his more mobile magical abilities. While Hector is also a factor, with his experience fighting magi and versatile magic aiding her in combat, he similarly will have a difficult time pinning down the ever mobile Marshall. The winning pair is the King of Voyages and the Captain of Cardboard. The key to victory for this pair is versatility- Odysseus is one of the most well-rounded Servants in the entire tournament, with the intelligence to put forth and execute effective strategies, the raw power to go toe-to-toe with any other warrior Servants, and the Noble Phantasms that give him enough of an advantage to tip any even scales in his favor. Meanwhile, Marshall's teleportation, reinforcement, and Umber Crest all give him the ability to either fight or outright avoid any of the other two Masters present. The relationship between these two ensures they will work together effectively, while their abilities let them handle every situation that comes at them with efficiency. Versatility is the key, and it's something that Marshall Umber and Odysseus have in spades.
