Weekend Wrapup 11/17/2008 : FPS / MMORPG / RTS Discussion

With the recent release of some popular console titles consuming the time of most of our veterans it was a fairly quiet night at FnF this week as we dropped in on Orion. Being FnF, however, a quiet night does not equal a night without competition. With only nine fighters we turned up the heat on the field and made tonights tournament a double elimination affair with the added bonus of a special twist thrown into a favorite Final Challenge Match.

• -Preliminary Match: Deadra defeated Bethel.
  -Bracket A - Round One: Dralnu defeated Deadra, Badger (Cyxult) beat Machka, Kaczmanchoy took out Chandler and Andriss overcame Vaeyn.
  -Braket B - Preliminary: Bethel defeated Vaeyn.
  -Bracket B - Round One: Bethel defeated Chandler and Deadra beat Machka.
  -Bracket A - Round Two: Badger (Cyxult) defeated Dralnu and Andris beat Kaczmanchoy.
  -Bracket B - Round Two: Bethel took out Dralnu and Deadra overcame Kaczmanchoy.
  -Bracket B - Round Three: Deadra defeated Bethel.
  -Bracket A - Round Three: Badger (Cyxult) beat Andriss
  -Bracket B - Round Four: Deadra took out Andriss.
  -Finals: Badger (Cyxult) defeated Deadra.

Normally, following the finals, the Champion is given the chance to choose their final challenge match but this week was a bit different as FNF Host Bennett introduced a new version of a popular match. In a match dubbed the Ultimate Pride & Trust match, FNF Champion Badger (Cyxult) found himself teamed up with Bethel, Deadra & Chandler to take on the team of Andriss, Machka, Kaczmanchoy and Dralnu. Though the fighting was fast and furious on both sides, in the end, the Champions team reigned supreme.

As always, it was a fun night at FNF, despite the small field of competitors. We're looking forward to seeing everyone next week when FNF lands on Pegasus.

It was another entertaining evening of fighting. In the first round Hiroshima beat Crittenden; Bluecz beat Deveraux; in some very close matches Soru beat Breton and Orthega beat Buckman; Czek got beaten by Bunk; and Banschi beat Aifa.

In round 2 our golden glove winners Hiroshima and Soru fought, with Hiroshima winning that match; Bluecz beat Orthega; and Banschi beat Bunk

After a final round-robin round the winners were:

• -1st Place, Bluecz
  
  -2nd Place, Hiroshima
  
  -3rd Place, Banschi.

Again Gangrel provided us with some very special bonuses.
