I like this development. It's good to see the manga overturning people's expectations.
As for Saki (possibly) 'helping' Himematsu, blame the odd way that this tournament has been arranged. If you have a 'two teams go through' rule, then you open yourself up to this kind of gamesmanship. If everyone had to actually *win* to go through there'd be no room for match-fixing in this way. It's pretty clear the organizers of this championship are not greatly interested in mahjong.
