#MicksDesk Tournament 2: Round 2 Complete

The Union of the Human League's four seed selections remained on target for a finals berth at the conclusion of the Second Round. Genku [#1] was the only seed to show signs of faltering, butting heads with a TonyTheTiger who showed signs of overachieving, both in this fight, and his First Round upset defeat of ElJobber. Kron [#4] looked much better against Shujinko, earning the heavy hit of the round with a +5 impact in that utter decimation.

foahchon, a man who stared demise in the face and came back from it, continued his second chance march, earning a convincing win over Porygonix. Fellow fighting survivor, Ratt, also showed signs of another return to impressive form, when he decimated buragas in one of the wins of the round. Ratt has been putting in extra time to earn his spot in recent days, solidifying his status as a fan-favourite with potential to win, without overstepping socially accepted levels. This is in contrast to #2 seed, Toryn, who earned the ire of his peers after a marathon five hour NPC/cheev slaughter during Tournament 1. Ratt will face Toryn in the next round, a rematch of the T1 Semi Final that saw Ratt unceremoniously eliminated by a convincing margin.

Round 2 Results:
1. Genku [#1] defeated TonyTheTiger.
2. foahchon defeated Porygonix in a solid win.
3. Ninja_Mime defeated CeeKay in a comprehensive win.
4. Artanix defeated Shadaloo in a close fight.
5. Skaven13 defeated Cyber_Axe in a very close fight.
6. Hokey defeated foster177 in a comprehensive +3 victory.
7. Pink_Ranger defeated jaytea in a solid win.
8. Cr0w [#3] defeated Ken in an absolute decimation!
9. Kron [#4] defeated Shujinko in a punishing decimation!
10. onryo defeated Kairyu in a close fight.
11. Chromatose defeated KombatKid.
12. tabmok99 defeated m0s3pH in a close fight.
13. CaTigeReptile defeated AlexanderLuthorJr in a narrow win.
14. DeathScepter defeated Ghostdragon in a comprehensive win.
15. Ratt defeated buragas in a threatening decimation!
16. Toryn defeated rxvt in a comprehensive result.

The Third Round presents an eclectic mix of tested fighters and names yet to be established. Stars may be made in the middle bouts, even as the four seeds progress in their campaign to meet in the finals. A champion will be named when only two users are left standing. The first champion could be any of the men and women who will meet in the round of sixteen!

The top two seeds named by The Union of The Human League will get a real test in Round 3! Ratt looks for revenge against #2 seed, Toryn, when they meet in a rematch of Tournament 1's Semi Final. Toryn notoriously beefed his potential up with a marathon campaign before that stage, but this time, he faces a Ratt who has also put in some yards with minions and his fellow users! Genku will be dealing with much less certain factors when he clashes with foahchon -- a user who is fighting with the will of a man with nothing to lose! Foahchon was Genku's first victim in Tournament 1, which [Genku] eventually went on to win. Will history repeat itself, or has it merely come back to seek revenge on the #1 seed?

Cr0w [#3] will have a personal battle when he clashes with longtime friend and ally, Pink_Ranger! It'll be another clash of acquaintances when Ninja_Mime and Artanix meet in another feature fight. Hokey continues to enjoy a generous draw, heavy favourite to beat Skaven13 and rally his chances as a dark horse tournament winner! tabmok99, CaTigeReptile, and DeathScepter will also be fighting to establish their names in the lexicon of tournament victory!

Round 3 Brackets:
1. Genku [#1] versus foahchon
2. Ninja_Mime versus Artanix
3. Skaven13 versus Hokey
4. Pink_Ranger versus Cr0w [#3]
5. Kron [#4] versus onryo
6. Chromatose versus tabmok99
7. CaTigeReptile versus DeathScepter
8. Ratt versus Toryn [#2]
