Finalists TheBlackCloud Oh (2), VoidTraveller Seetan (1), Sandusky Kayvon (3)
Fighters were pitted against each other via the classic tournament system this week and matches were as follows:
Round One:
| Combatants | Weapons | Map | Winner |
|
|
Remarks: The match began with cautious CCindy keeping her distance and avoiding her opponent near the pit traps, however eventually she got several doses of poison (along with healing gas) and was taken down in a pit exchanging slashing blows with KittyKat.
|
|
Remarks: The match got off to a slow start as both combattants took their time in their approach. When they did confront each other eventually, the battle was tight and confined to the south-eastern corner of the arena, with VoidTraveller getting a dose of healing gas there. Moving for a short time to the northeastern quadrant, Voidtraveller inadvertently strayed in to a poison gas trap as well. Nearing the end of the match, Aposiopesis was exposed to numerous poison and healing gas charges and was finally finished off by VoidTraveller’s flayer.
|
|
Remarks: Experience proved to win out between the combatants as Bonulino strayed in to numerous mines, a poison gas trap and spike, taking her out quickly.
|
|
Remarks: TheBlackCloud strayed in to a mine early on but was able to deal some bleed damage on her combattant at about the same time. The two were able to fight a relatively tight match afterward until the bleed damage Sandusky sustained prompted him to attempt a Hooper Gambit twice with the gas trap in the center of the map; failing and succeeding respectively. TheBlackCloud strayed in to another mine nearer to the end of the match, however Sandusky had lost sufficient health by this point to expire, leaving her the winner.
Redemption Round:
|
|
Remarks: A nasty fight featuring the two fighters in a corner in the beginning, but seeing some movement closer to the middle, with poison damage on both CCindy and Aposiopesis multiple times. The fight took them around the perimeter of the arena several times with both fighters attempting the Hooper Gambit many times until CCindy finally fell from accumulated poison damage.
|
|
Remarks: Pit traps proved to be a hindrance to both fighters as they pepper this map like the chess board the map is named after. Finally, they stood their ground in one such pit, where Sandusky was able to hack down Bonulino and progress to fight Aposiopesis for a spot in Round Two.
|
|
Remarks: Fairly tight combat between the competitors along the perimeter of the map. Aposiopesis attempted and succeeded in a Hooper Gambit stepping away from Sandusky for a moment, but after exchanging blows for some time afterward, she ran in to poison gas and a spike trap. Realizign she was on borrowed time, she attempted to obtain more healing gas by stepping on the gas traps yet again and succeeding about half the time. Finally, in an effort to get at the gas trap in the center of the map, she walked in to a mine and was taken down, leaving Sandusky the winner of the Redemption Round.
Round Two:
|
|
Remarks:Kittykat ran in to a couple of mines early on as she and VoidTraveller exchanged furious blows with their flayers. Attempting to gain some healing from the gas traps in the corners, her gambit failed twice and she fell from accumulated damage before she had a chance to deal another blow on VoidTraveller.
|
|
Remarks: A very long match. TheBlackCloud managed to avoid effect from the gas trap on the way out of her cell, while Zeroyel was not so fortunate, coming away from his gate with poison damage. The fighters were able to make use of the otherwise mostly trap-less space, with both TheBlackCloud and Zeroyel occasionally making use of the central gas trap in an attempt at staving off death. TheBlackCloud managed to run in to a mine about half-way through the match but was able to evade Zeroyel’s crushing blows until he fell from accumulated poison damage.
Final Round:
|
|
Remarks: The fighters paid each other about equal attention on this mine-ridden map for quite some time out of the gats. Sandusky hit a mine early on and fell shortly after a confrontation with both TheBlackCloud and Voidtraveller in the north-eastern corner of the arena. Moving cautiously as VoidTraveller led her on a chase around the map several times, TheBlackCloud eventually fell after she accumulated significant damage from his flayer.
