The Second Round and "The Next Phase" was truly living up to its design! Thirty-two competitors become sixteen as the next wave of competitors duke it out for the opportunity to join the top ranks, eliminating their way toward a spot in the Tower of Power II Championship chasing ladder!
Fan-favourite Duo Division partners foahchon and Artanix were among the winners in the Second Round, taking full advantage of a randomly drawn field of promising competitors. Alas; their welcome success came at the expense of one of the hard working fighters who also would've liked to go far, a Tower of Power original, m0s! JRF's quest to rise through the ranks -- begun with a narrow win in the 'Battle of the Bottom' at Pre-Show 9 -- also came to an end.
TonyTheTiger followed his convincing performance in the First Round with a devastating +8 decimation of Swisher, asserting him as one of the clear favourites to take the Tournament! Ghostdragon was the other heavy hitter, delivering on his much talked about promise with a +3 crushing of Tyrant-Cenobite, who will likely have to earn Challenger 7 status for Tower of Power II if he's to meet the man who attacked him in April, ElJobber!
In what might've been the match of the round, Jammer2Omega scored another valuable win, defeating fan-favourite DECEPTION in a blockbuster bout to close out the day. Fellow Next Phase figurehead, Chiefin, also enjoyed the warmth of another unlikely success, victorious over Baraka_MK -- one of many fighters whose defeat defies expectation! Chiefin's reputation as an upset machine has claimed the likes of Ken and m0s in the past, and just might carry him to a shocking T7 victory if he keeps it up!
Hokey will no doubt be eyeing off any would-be tournament upstart, convincing in his victory over Casselman. With unixpunk winning his way into the Third Round, the odds are mounting for another solid performance from Hokey -- a four-time tournament finalist!
The_Purple_Bunny, SubMan799, Porygonix, and Chromatose also secured their continuation into the subsequent round.
