One hundred and twenty-eight fighters enter to prove their ultimate superiority -- one winner emerges with the chance to challenge for the Undisputed Championship!
Round 1 of Tournament 5: War for the Kr0wn produced very few surprises, but with a field stronger than any tournament before, it was inevitable that the competition get more cut throat as the numbers dwindle. #3 seed Mimik was the biggest casualty of Round 2, suffering a staggering +30 maximum impact from Kron -- a fighter who was exiled by his loss at Supercard 6, and is more determined than ever to strike back at arch-rival, Cr0w!
Ken also made a shock exit in the upset of Round 2, coming up short against relative newcomer, Chiefin! DECEPTION was a less surprising loss in Round 2, claimed by the #1 seed, Genku. Porygonix was also claimed in a blockbuster encounter against Hokey, who has traditionally performed far beyond his measure in Tournament situations. Punching far above his weight in T5, however, is STEROLIZER, who managed his second victory in a close fought encounter with Vultyrex. The back-to-back victory changes the landscape of competition dramatically, given STEROLIZER's famous penchant for biting off far more than he can chew!
The_Purple_Bunny progressed in a heated battle against ShingoEX, bundling his opponent out with an impressive +6 impact in a decimation. Cr0w [#2] was much kinder in his +3 elimination of friend and ally, Pink_Ranger, who could've suffered far worse given the strength of Cr0w's performance. He remains one of the hot favourites to go all the way, but with a pattern of fatigue plaguing his performances over the past few months, endurance may still prove a factor in the six-deep rounds of competition.
Shoe [#4] repeated history with his clash against Casselman, a rematch of the Tournament 4 final. Shoe went two better than his T4 decimation, utterly destroying Casselman with a staggering +7 impact!
Kron's maximum impact against Mimik made him the hitman of the round, but right behind him was the mysterious Darkrai, who once again made waves with a stunning +13 impact on BoringErik! Despite being a complete stranger to The Great Arena, it seems as if Darkrai could be a legitimate dark horse in this War for the Kr0wn. It will be interesting to see how Darkrai fares against more tested competitors! TonyTheTiger continued to sneak through the gentle draw of the lower half, scoring an equally impressive +12 beatdown against jaytea!
ElJobber, Toryn, Ninja_Mime, m0s, Scott-Howell, Jammer2Omega, CaTigeReptile, DeathScepter, Ghostdragon, and Baraka_MK also all progressed to the Third Round.

With a couple of big names falling to upsets in the Second Round, the War for the Kr0wn is truly any man's game! Business picks up in the Third Round as more major match-ups present courtesy of the random draw! Kron will have the main event, once again, as his hard path to the finals continues with a clash against the former-champion who took his title at Supercard 3, Toryn! Playing second to this blockbuster encounter is ElJobber -- hot contender who defeated Toryn at Supercard 6 -- going up against the rival who famously upset him in Tournament 2 with a First Round elimination, TonyTheTiger!
STEROLIZER takes an unlikely spotlight when he looks to continue his streak of victory against m0s! The pair had briefly held a common enemy in Round 2 eliminated Ken, but at Supercard 6, it was m0s who interrupted STERO's first taste of glory in the 12-person Battle Royal! Duo star, Scott-Howell, will test his solo muscles when he takes on Shoe [#4], Hokey tests his luck against a resurrected The_Purple_Bunny, Ghostdragon looks to earn some cred against rising star Jammer2Omega, and Chiefin tackles the challenge of upsetting Genku [#1]!
