#MicksDesk Tournament: Round 1 Complete

Over the last two days, #MicksDesk has played host to forty-eight hours of pure, unadulterated tournament action!

The carnival atmosphere began with a twenty-four hour random tournament draw, which was revealed in the previous blog. Now, after another twenty-four hours of automated action, the first round has been completed and we have sixty-four users ready for Round 2!

So far, the seeds have lived up to their reputation, dominating their opponents in each of the four bracket defining matches. #1 seed Ares Menschlich, the NPC better known as War, has set the standard with his truly devastating domination of NovaStarr. #2 seed Famine, NPC Bez Busshitsu, also put in a convincing victory against CeeKay. Cr0w (#3) and Kron (#4), the human seeds, were no less convincing in their dominant victories, but neither could quite match the supremacy established by the two sub-boss characters.

War and Famine represent the third and first Four Barons who make-up Lord Mislukking's inner circle of aids. Each is devastatingly more powerful than the NPC minions users can !fight throughout the day, and key obstacles in the unfolding plotline of !RPCheev. This is the first time the sub-bosses have made their presences felt, and if the tournament is to crown a champion, it seems likely it will be one of them!

There were fifty battles in the first round, with fourteen byes. TonyTheTiger emerged as one of the surprising stars, delivering the most crushing defeat of the fifty-man round against an unlucky fraysol! unixpunk made a star of himself and his opponent when he won a blockbuster battle with Quirk, a fight determined by the smallest of conceivable margins! Porygonix also overcame the odds to defeat a very strong Pink_Ranger in one of the fights of the round! There were plenty of other narrow wins throughout the mid-card, including a controversial fight that had to be restarted after an error prevented NPC OctopusMan from beating Tyrant-Cenobite. Other NPCs, Aqua and SixArmedSamurai, put in strong victories, while ElJobber, Hokey, DECEPTION, The_Purple_Bunny and Ratt all showed promising potential for future stages.
