                                      SPY REPORT

Good afternoon, my darlings!  Wonderful to see you once again on this muggy, overcast 
day in Seam.  I think a few of the geysers near the fault line have been working 
overtime these last few days because the humidity is horrid!  If my hair wasn't 
magically held in place, I can only imagine the frizz I would have at this moment.  
It's shameful!  Oh well, nothing we can do about it now.  The games are afoot!  Let's 
take a look at the action!

Phantom Regiment, takes over the top spot from Darque Knights, who fell into 3rd 
place.  Phantom Regiment's 4-1-0 added to an already impressive run to make them 11-4-
0 over the last 3 turns.  Box in the Attic surges up the rankings after a 5-0-1 turn!  
They plant themselves into the runner-up position and look to pounce into first.  
Wait, do Boxes pounce?  Can you topple into first place?  I'm not sure, but it will be 
interesting to watch.  Deities and Demigods rise one into 4th.  The last of the top 5 
finds Lost Sentinels edging out Pixelbenders by a single kill.

The most avoided team for turn 111 is Darque Knights.  They were avoided mostly by I'm 
Not Eggbert.  The most challenged warrior for the turn is Mr. Read-a-Lot from Huckle's 
Cats.  I do understand that a 1-11 record would be an enticing challenge.  This turn, 
Surgical Gloves thought his 2-0 record needed to be put to the test against a more 
senior opponent.  It was a gamble that paid off as Surgical Gloves beat Mr. Read-a-Lot 
in 2-minutes.  I anticipate our avid reader may be popular for many turns to come!

So, my sweets, I know you have been waiting for the big match up! Bloodblind is now a 
Lord Protector, and he would be leaving our fair arena whether he won or lost.  The 
question is, "WHO IS GOING TO BE THE NEXT DUELMASTER?"  Well, I'm so glad you asked!  
Bloodblind feuded Kurgan and that match was one-sided with Lord Protector Bloodblind 
winning the day!  So, our title match came down to a random match up between LC and 
Mr. Racoon.  Mr. Racoon has been Duelmaster before on turn 101.  LC has never sat upon 
the throne!  Who would win?  It was exciting and it was brutal . . . and in the end, 
LC is our newest Duelmaster!  Congrats to LC and his manager DMobster!  LC's title 
marks the 19th time a Thirsty Thug has been a Duelmaster in Seam, and it marks the 
12th time a Thirsty Thugs' Lunger has claimed it.

Okay, my dearies, time for me to go.  There was no invite for our Duelmaster this 
turn, so LC is on the hot seat, so to speak!  He has to defend his title and keep all 
those envious Challenger Champions from dethroning him so quickly.  Join us next time 
and see all the wonderful arena action!  Feel free to stop by the press booth and say 
hello too, if you find the time.
