This year, the contestants include four Jeopardy! Masters veterans: Matt Amodio, James Holzhauer, Mattea Roach, and Amy Schneider.

There are also two newcomers to the Masters stage: Victoria Groce and Yogesh Raut. Although they may be new to the scene, Victoria and Yogest are clearly not messing around — they each won their first game!

Jeopardy! Masters contestants are all pros, with winning streaks that earned them legendary statuses in Jeopardy lore.

For example, as Distractify reported previously, Jeopardy! Masters contestant Amy had a historic 40-game winning streak. Meanwhile, Amy's fellow Jeopardy! Masters contestant Matt Amodio was wining so much some Jeopardy fans speculated that he ultimately lost a match on purpose!

Another Jeopardy! Masters contestant, James, had to address speculation that he was cheating during his time on the show — he acknowledged that he had some haters, but that he himself held his game-playing to a high standard and that he didn't tolerate cheating of any sort.

So who will win the Jeopardy! Masters grand prize? We'll have to wait and see during the first ever Jeopardy! Masters tournament.
