Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team ISLANDERS was unseated this week as BASHAHOLICS ANON moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot with a 2-1-0 record for the round. Although SWORDGRAVE made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious NO ONE WILL KNOW. Heed this! A seer has warned that if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish! Just remember...5 or 7! I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in ILLIS these days is BASHAHOLICS ANON. At least, most blades in town are looking to avoid them. Apparently the stalwarts of IMPROVED ILLUSION are catching the bulk of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after HARBOR SEAL. Watch your back! A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that SUBSTITUTION posted a challenge against the more highly recognized HARBOR SEAL. The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand SUBSTITUTION beat HARBOR SEAL. Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel. Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more than its fair share of red in recent times. Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always! The girls are as pretty in ILLIS as ever I remembered them....and the fighters as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME NO ONE WILL KNOW 3159 15 6 0 122 BASHAHOLICS ANON (297) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ZARUKO 2796 19 15 0 93 IMPROVED ILLUSION (261) HELLPOP 3085 16 36 0 93 NEXUS 5 (324) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SWORDGRAVE 3115 11 5 0 90 IMPROVED ILLUSION (261) SUBSTITUTION 3213 5 1 0 88 BASHAHOLICS ANON (297) RAIGEKI 3121 7 3 1 83 IMPROVED ILLUSION (261) HARBOR SEAL 2954 14 35 0 77 ISLANDERS (247) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SHOO-CHA 3184 11 7 0 55 ISLANDERS (247) OIL SPILL 3161 11 15 0 55 ISLANDERS (247) BROKENBONE 3204 6 3 0 55 CLAN DREKMOOR (330) TOM BLIGH 3193 10 5 1 41 ISLANDERS (247) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME STARFISH 3232 5 2 0 26 ISLANDERS (247) -WARBEAST 3203 2 2 0 26 CLAN DREKMOOR (330) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -GRIMFURY 3207 3 1 0 22 CLAN DREKMOOR (330) JUBEI 3197 1 3 0 19 IMPROVED ILLUSION (261) RAGEFIRE 3217 5 3 0 18 CLAN DREKMOOR (330) -AGAIN AND AGAIN 3244 1 0 0 18 BASHAHOLICS ANON (297) -AZA CHORN 3246 3 1 0 17 NEXUS 5 (324) -MADSLAYER 3205 2 2 0 12 CLAN DREKMOOR (330) -SOBER FOR 7 DAYS 3242 1 1 0 8 BASHAHOLICS ANON (297) ENERVATE 3200 1 3 1 7 IMPROVED ILLUSION (261) -GROBBENDONK 3229 1 3 0 6 NEXUS 5 (324) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
