At Supercard 12: Night of the Barons, it may be the titular foursome who go on trial against some of the brightest fighters in the league, but the main event will still belong to the covetted Undisputed Championship and its top contender!
Since winning the title May 15th; Cr0w has been a force of nature, dominating his way across five months, racking up six successful Championship defenses, and a record setting win streak of twenty-four unanswered victories! Among the Champion's victims, a who's who of leagues best: Ratt, Kron, ElJobber, Genku, Mimik, TonyTheTiger, Pink_Ranger, DECEPTION, Onryo, and more!
In fact, since the last path of the champion listing, Cr0w has added the following wins to his resume:
Cr0w (c) d. Genku - Supercard 11: All-Star Summer Showdown (Aug. 14)
Cr0w d. Menas - Round 1, Tournament 8: Grand Slam [Singles] (Aug. 29)

The_Purple_Bunny cannot claim to have had the same path of success as his daunting opponent, but in recent months, his wholely different course toward the Championship has included a string of accolades! After making a surprise return in a Battle Royal at Supercard 9: Royal Roulette, TPB entered and won the exciting test of Tournament 7: The Next Phase, where he unleashed high impact wins upon a field that concluded with TonyTheTiger. Supercard 11: All-Star Summer Showdown continued the elevation with a punishing victory over arch-nemesis Shoe, before Blaze debuted at Tournament 9 to form one of the exciting new teams with TPB!

With the recent elevation in his game, The_Purple_Bunny will have every chance to rise to the occasion, a legitimate challenger despite lacking the status of some of the other fallen contenders. Finding keys to victory against Cr0w have been nigh impossible, but with longterm success comes increasing pressures and/or the threat of complacency. Despite his steady success, Cr0w has certainly experienced close fought matches in his five month reign, and most recently experienced a surprising scare from DECEPTION, who gave Cr0w a run for his money during Tournament 8: Grand Slam [Singles]. An element of fortune is present in every great run and The_Purple_Bunny will hoping it sides with him when he takes on the streak!
In the build, Cr0w's preparation has changed very little, with this defense bringing with it some of the least concern. Cr0w is obviously confident going in to his match with TPB, even if he has shown significant signs of being rattled by the mounting desire of the people to see the streak end. Cries for a new champion are coming thick and fast, and with Ratt looking likely to be booked in as the next challenger to his title, it is an issue that isn't going to go away any time soon.
However peturbed, Cr0w remains confident, rarely bothered by other combatants outside competition. Most know they run the risk of dulling their own Supercard hopes if they challenge the top ranked fighter. Even with the recent outbreak of extra-league battles in an unofficial 24/7 sub-league, Cr0w has faced a mininum few who would chase that shortterm reward.
It will be anyones match to win when the Undisputed Championship goes on the line once more at Supercard 12: Night of the Barons! The Great Arena will play host to a packed card of intriguing matches, including the end of an era as Scott-Howell and Murdoink end their association; ElJobber's attempt to take Tyrant-Cenobite for MAX damage; "Mr. Daruma" m0s and the spiteful Toryn; and much more!
Be here September 18 for all the results, and be sure to check the records as Championship history unfolds!
