VoidTraveller Seetan (2) and Malice Shepherd (1). Dassina Andel (absent) came in third.
Fighters were pitted against each other under the classical tournament system this week and matches were as follows:
Round One:
| Combatants | Weapons | Map | Winner |
|
|
Remarks: Poison damage on Aposiopesis early, though Malice also received some poison damage as well.
|
|
Remarks: Long fight, lots of weapon switching, but otherwise tight and few traps sprung.
|
|
Remarks: Lots of poison on both sides, VoidTraveller gambling on mass doses of gas to sustain life and hanging on just long enough until combined poison and weapon damage took Cigi down.
|
|
Remarks: Much poison gas damage on both sides.
Redemption Round:
|
|
Remarks: Minimal mine damage on both combattants.
|
|
Remarks: Moderate mine and spike damage on Vikki.
|
|
Remarks: Dassina overtook Cigi fast and furious this round. Minimal trap damage overall.
Round Two:
|
|
Remarks: Agustsa experienced multiple instances of poison and healing gas. While Malice also took on some mine damage himself, Agustsa continued to take on considerable poison damage and was finally put out running in to a mine.
|
|
Remarks: Overall, a very tight fight, but Raze took on mine damage early and two more times after extended combat, taking him out of the running for finals.
Final Round:
|
|
Remarks: Eye of the Storm is a seldom used map for very good reason – it features a tight cluster of mines, saws and gas traps throughout the arena, with one clear tile in the center. Coupled with the perception that tight quarters make for dangerous stages for gunplay, perhaps this is why all three combattants emerged with flayers and elected to fight largely along the edges of the arena, where a thin drain ledge serves as quite possibly the largest uninterrupted respite from buzzing saws, hair-trigger mines and noxious fumes. All three combattants attempted to take each other down quickly, but soon found that staying tight against the walls was not as easy as one might think. Malice received mine damage early on, while Dassina and VoidTraveller tested each other, Dassina falling quickly under VoidTraveller’s blade. Attempting to heal himself by travelling back and forth along the gas vents, Void found himself both poisoned and unable to avoid a mine, clashing with Malice a few more times but eventually falling due to accumulated gas and fire damage.
