                                      SPY REPORT

Hoping to make it to Charlotte next Sunday to see everyone at the FtF.

Greetings fight fans, Eoghan McGrimm here once more reporting on the arena activities. 
First off, after going over my notes from last time, I failed to mention the new two 
new guilds in the ranks: THE CRUE and MEAT TO EAT. A belated welcome to Lapur! Now 
this week we honor Master Beru's ERRATIC EDUCATOR of ARMY OF DARKNESS and their 6th 
Lord Protector and the city's 10th of the year. He is a 3-time Duelmaster and has 
dominated the top of the ranks the past quarter and the invite is well deserved. 
Congrats! Now we look to see who will take over the throne. The arena is fickle, as 
are the odds makers. Let's find out who's next.

A week before the Face to Face and we have 15 teams in the ranks once more, with one 
new guild, SAXON. Welcome! Five of the guilds have already left for the tourney, so we 
only have 18 fights on the commission lists. From the list we have Visionist 
sacrificing another rollup god. Six challenge matches and the remaining 11 were 
commission matchups. The fights for the title had a rare occurrence. SKUNK of AVOID 
ME! went for the gold and challenged three time champ ERRATIC EDUCATOR of ARMY OF 
DARKNESS. Unfortunately the Bloke's rancid warrior was savagely defeated by Master 
Beru's exiting Lord Protector in a 5 minute Title melee. But hold on, SKUNK still took 
the title despite losing,  thanks to still having the highest points. All hail the new 
Duelmaster Pepe Le'.. errr SKUNK!.

In team news, Poke and his MON warriors took over the top spot after an impressive 5-
0-0 showing. Jumping from 5th to 2nd is Mr. B's BUFFALO warriors, who managed a 3-1-0 
result. Rounding out the top 3 is last time's top guild IBATIONS 6 after a very 
limited 1-0-0. The Team on the Move is Vlad and his ALMOST EXACTLY crew, who gained 37 
points collectively. The Most Avoided team is the Bloke and his AVOID ME! fearmongers 
with 8 avoids. The next closest was Neon and his VELVET warriors who had 6 avoids.

Remaining challenge fights...

FROSLASS of POKE' MON challenged APOSTATE POSTMAN of ARMY OF DARKNESS, with Poke's 
ghostly warrior devastating Master Beru's rebel warrior in a 1 minute one-sided 
contest.

1.75L of BUFFALO TRACE '25 challenged SUE CHEF of ARMY OF DARKNESS, with Mr. B's 
metric warrior overpowering Master Beru's culinary warrior in a crowd pleasing 1 
minute match.

MAEVE MANIAC of BLACK KELTS challenged BRIAR of POKE' MON, with Purple Sage's lunatic 
warrior being defeated by Poke's sticky warrior in a 1 minute veteran's struggle.

SALAZZLE of POKE' MON challenged POPPY POPPINS of BLACK KELTS, with Poke's lizard 
warrior overcoming Purple Sage's mysterious warrior in a 2 minute fight.

LOPUNNY of POKE' MON challenged DAVIEL of MID EARTH, with Poke's bunny warrior 
unbelievably besting Visionist's harkeny warrior in a 3 minute gruesome melee.

In Individual Achievements...

The biggest winner is END OF BIDET, who beat HOUN DOG and gained 23 from the fight, 
but that also meant that HOUN DOG lost 24 points with the loss.
This week's favorite is DAVIEL of MID EARTH, who went 3 minutes in losing but was made 
famous by LOPUNNY of POKE' MON.

No "Fight of the Week", but congrats to our Duelmaster SKUNK on receiving his invite. 
Next time we will honor you as Lord Protector. Good luck at the tourney everyone. 'Til 
next time.
