Finalists TheBlackCloud Oh (2), CCindy Pfeffer (3), VoidTraveller Seetan (1)
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: None.
|
|
Remarks: CCindy hit a spike and saw trap early in the fight, jumping and evading TheBlackCloud’s swipes. The fight was driven in to a corner, where CCindy received additional poison and spike damage.Astoundingly, CCindy was able to hold on for a significant time afterward, outlasting TheBlackCloud by split-seconds, as she was taken down by accumulated crowbill damage over the length of the fight.
|
|
Remarks: Rieela’s abnormal height did not turn out to be a significant advantage; as a relative newcomer to the Fight Night event, she quickly learned that ignoring traps littered throughout the map is dangerous. While she was able to get a couple of swipes in at her opponent, she fell rather quickly as the result of accumulated damage from mines, saws and gas traps.
|
|
Remarks: A fast-paced match which saw minimal trap damage, save for a mine set off by Zeroyel. The match was mostly uneventful afterward as the fighters clashed tightly, away from traps. Zeroyel eventually fell at the blade of VoidTraveller’s flayer.
Redemption Round:
|
|
Remarks: A short match; Rieela received some spike damage early on, along with considerable damage from TheBlackCloud’s crowbill. As the two combattants fought it out in a pit, Rieela fell from accumulated poison and weapons damage.
|
|
Remarks: Zeroyel hit a mine early in the match. Sticking closely to his opponent afterward, he received a considerable damage in an attempt to win with a clobbering stick over a flayer. He was unsuccessful in his attempt, allowing KittyKat to take on TheBlackCloud to determine the third finalist.
|
|
Remarks: The fighters converged quickly on the center of the map. Kittykat backed in to a set of spikes while TheBlackCloud dealt her a flurry of swipes from a crowbill. She fell shortly afterward.
Round Two:
|
|
Remarks: Fast-paced but long fight. For the most part, the fighters were able to avoid traps by fighting along the perimeter of the arena floor. About a third of the fight in, CCindy ran in to a mine, while Dassina gained some healing gas across the arena. Following her opponent around, CCindy accidentally ran in to a gas trap, receiving poison, but also receiving healing gas afterward when she tried the Hooper Gambit again. CCindy proved both lucky and vicious as Dassina pulled a nailgun closer to the end of the match. Finding her efforts to nail down CCindy unsuccessful, she slipped back to flayer, while CCindy used a rifle briefly, but also switched back to crowbill nearing the end. Running in to one last gas trap at the end, Dassina fell while being accosted by her opponent.
|
|
Remarks: Multiple poison and spike damage along with swift slashes from VoidTraveller’s flayer took Aposiopesis down very quickly.
Final Round:
|
|
Remarks: Voidtraveller hit a couple of mines early on while being chased by TheBlackCloud. The competitors attacked each other equally for a while until Voidtraveller took CCindy down with a nailgun about 3/4 in to the match. TheBlackCloud attempted to shorten the distance and deal some close up damage, but VoidTraveller was able to avoid her for the most part, taking out a ripper pistol near the end and mowing her down.
As a special prize, first place winners from every Fight Night will be given special badges highlighting their achievement. VoidTraveller was the first to win one, and shows it off proudly below.
