Toronto quiz sensation Mattea Roach has officially advanced to the semifinals of Jeopardy! Masters and the city continues to unequivocally support the 24-year-old through their enormous feat.

The Toronto-based tutor and now-podcaster came in third in their game on Wednesday night's show, but still managed to secure a spot in the contentious next round which starts on Monday.

In early May, Roach's father, Phillip Henry Roach, died at his home in Halifax from a brain aneurysm at the age of 57. His death sparked lots of supportive comments and condolences from fellow Jeopardy! fans, who praised the young champion's strength throughout the competition.
