Don't think I missed much, with teams going stagnant before the tourney. No invitees to honor and I heard a rumor that a scribe named Dejoy lost Mid Earth paper work last week. So today is all about our new the new Duelmaster ZOLOFT. Will he continue holding onto the title or will someone step up and best him? Now let's get down to business. Only nine teams in the rankings BAD GAS and ALMOST EXACTLY taking the week off, while their bosses attended the tourney. From the seven active teams I see 13 fights on the lists of which 3 are challenge fights and 10 random commission matchups. The fight for the throne had the current Duelmaster ZOLOFT of ARCANE PHARMACY fighting MONROE of MADNESS 3 and after 2 minutes Destitute Noble's champion subdued Eli's to retain the title. Congrats on being a 2 time champ. In team news Destitute Noble and his Pharmacy trio went 2-1-0 and the Bloke's Avoid foursome went 2-2-0, which resulted in them tied for the top spot in the ranks. which naturally left the position empty. Visionist must have gotten his paperwork snafu fixed and his Mid Earth bunch went 4-1-0 to claim third. The Team on the Move goes to Obregon and his War Party after gaining 28 points collectively. The Most Avoided of course the Bloke and his Avoid Me fearmongers receiving the most avoids with 10, while the next closest was inactive. Challenge fights... HIGH VOLTAGE of AVOID ME! challenged TALONCYCLOVIR of ARCANE PHARMACY, with the Bloke's electrifying warrior quickly grounding Destitute Noble's medicinal warrior in 1 minute. NOBILIFY of ARCANE PHARMACY challenged SACAGAWEA of WAR PARTY, with Destitute Noble's obsolete warrior demolishing Obregon's shoshone warrior in a popular 2 minute melee. COVID of AVOID ME! challenged MOON BLADE of ARMY OF DARKNESS, with the Bloke's ominous warrior unbelievably bested Master Beru's sharp lunar warrior in a 3 minute gory contest. In more individual achievements. This weeks Favorite warrior is Master Beru's DEMON D*KE even though he lost in four minutes. The Biggest Winner is KUSAAR after skillfully besting HENREE and being awarded 22 points, while Visionist's warrior was the Biggest Loser after losing 10 points. I did not see a fight worthy of my "Fight of the Week" this time and no new invitee again. Plus still no news on if Assur is returning, we can only hope. Til next time. -- Eoghan McGrimm DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ZOLOFT 5920 11 8 0 98 ARCANE PHARMACY (401) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME PAERIS 6694 16 13 0 104 MID EARTH (223) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME KUSAAR 5672 10 7 0 90 WAR PARTY (474) -AS THE CROW DIES 6512 21 24 1 88 ALMOST EXACTLY (20) MONROE 6599 13 8 0 86 MADNESS 3 (545) HENREE 6698 14 13 0 80 MID EARTH (223) GERONIMO 6730 8 9 1 79 WAR PARTY (474) HIGH VOLTAGE 6731 9 3 0 76 AVOID ME!
