Tournament 7: The Next Phase - Round 3!

The Round of Sixteen left very few questions unanswered as the power players of Tournament 7 asserted themselves over the remaining hopefuls! While the tour offers opportunity to the so-called "Next Phase" of competitors, it was clear that experience had a lot to play in the formation of the first round of Finals!

In another exciting Next Phase clash, Jammer2Omega secured a convincing victory, beating out Tower of Power original, Porygonix! Pory has become the spiritual representative of Great Arena legend, Kron, who met a surprising end prior to his scheduled appearance at Supercard 9. No doubt he will continue his return to the top ranks, despite the loss!

The_Purple_Bunny restored the balance of expectations, delivering the round's biggest impact in a +4 decimation of the Next Phase "Upset Machine," Chiefin! The beating went one better than TonyTheTiger's +3 put down of ShingoEX, setting up something of an unspoken rivalry between the two competitors! TonyTheTiger may be fast looking like the man to beat, but it's clear he'll have competition if TPB can make it to the Final battle!

As the Finals take shape, Hokey continues to cast a shadow over the tournament, comfortable in his victory over unixpunk. With four former-champions besting Hokey in the final stages of previous tournaments, there is an unwritten legend that says a tournament winner must first defeat Hokey! Pink_Ranger will be the next fighter to have an opportunity, thanks to her win over fan-favourite upstart, foahchon. Pink_Ranger (and Ghostdragon) was one of the pair to last eliminate Hokey during the Tournament 6: Duo Division Championship final.

Artanix fared better than his Duo Division partner, continuing his surprising run of success with an impressive win over SubMan799! With Jammer2Omega waiting for him in the first round of finals, it'll be a big ask to see Art continue the run, but you can be sure he'll give it his all!
