March Schedule: The Long Hard Road!

It was a game changing series last week as The Great Arena played host to some of the biggest battles in competition history! Supercard 2: Triple Double - The Eliminator not only concluded the massive feuds waged by the greatest fighters in the league, but also inducted a new wave of challengers who will vie for glory under the watchful eyes of Ares Menschlich and The Union of The Human League!

The dreaded Lord Mislukking and his order of Four Barons have broken the uneasy calm that had settled over #MicksDesk and #MortalKombat! Possessing abilities far beyond the capacity of mortal men, these deadly warriors have tested all who come before them, spreading Famine, Pestilence, and War throughout the organized fights.

For now, they are merely occasional participants in the unofficial !fights that breakout daily, with the arrogant Lord Mislukking going one step farther by accepting any and all challengers. This communal order between conqueror and survivors, however, cannot last much longer. Tensions are building between the scattered citizens and their self-appointed ruler. The evil overlord and his inner circle are poised to launch themselves into battle!

A challenge has been issued.
This is the beginning of The Long Hard Road...



Supercard 3: The Long Hard Road (March 13, 2011)
The next chapter in !fight history begins as old rivalries are put to bed, and new challengers follow their destiny down The Long Hard Road! Supercard 2 delivered a second act in the saga of several stories, but who will come out on top as a very special card looms on the horizon of April?

1. Toryn versus Kron for the Undisputed Championship!
The Long Hard Road for Toryn began in January during Tournament 1, when he rose through the ranks under controversial circumstances to become one of the biggest threats in The Great Arena. His star faded quickly, however, and it was only at Supercard 2 that he finally fulfilled the potential that made him one of the most despised fighters in the league, earning the ire of the audience once more when he defeated Ratt in the final stage of a Battle Royal to earn his shot at glory!

Kron did well in the first ever defense of the Undisputed Championship, standing tall at Supercard 2 against one of the strongest competitors in the league and his three-time rival, Cr0w! Kron will cut an intimidating figure, benefitting from the experience he's gained as one of the most active fighters in The Great Arena against a challenger who failed to even appear at Supercard 1! The championship will be on the line, but who will walk The Long Hard Road towards April 3 and a main event clash with ElJobber?


2. Cr0w versus ElJobber
It was at Supercard 1: Battle Royale 2011 that ElJobber booked himself a main event clash in the April 3 special event! Under different circumstances, it could've been Cr0w that stood at the end of The Long Hard Road for ElJobber, but at Supercard 2, that possibility was dashed in the final clash between he and Kron!

Cr0w wants nothing more than to get back into the championship race -- and The Long Hard Road begins here! A second bite at the title will elude him until after the April 3 spectacular. Will his eventual return to the main event be against ElJobber? It's a possible preview of things to come as an agitated former champion, Cr0w, tests next #1 contender, ElJobber, in what promises to be a brutal encounter!


3. Genku versus Ratt
If there's something these two know about, it's The Long Hard Road!
At Supercard 2, they were the first two entrants into a six-man battle royal that decided the next contender competing at Supercard 3! For Ratt, it was a second brush with championship glory after his seventy minute marathon at Supercard 1, ended with elimination at the end of the match by late arriving sixth entrant, Toryn!

Genku knows what it's like to narrowly miss out on championship glory, too! He was the winner of the first ever tournament held in The Great Arena, but fell short in the Semi Finals of Tournament 2: Quest for Champion! In Genku's mind, he should already be champion and the fork in The Long Hard Road was Ratt! Their brutal meeting during Supercard 2 will be continued as Genku seeks a little revenge on the way to April 3!


4. Bez Busshitsu versus Mimik
Unofficially ranked #5 as the winner of Tournament 3; Mimik has propelled himself into the spotlight as a future championship contender! That spotlight brings with it the bittersweet curse of success as The Baron of Famine, Bez Busshitsu, reenters the arena to represent the forces of Lord Mislukking in a show of strength! It'll be an epic encounter when The Long Hard Road pits Mimik against Famine, sure to be the first shot in the war between man and overlord!

5. TonyTheTiger versus Porygonix
In the minds of many, these two evenly matched fighters represent the future of The Great Arena! TonyTheTiger began a rapid rise last month as as an active competitor, but was shunted out of the unofficial contender rankings after a shock loss at Pre-Show 2: Champion's Revenge and a missed opportunity in ElJobber/TonyTheTiger III at Supercard 2! The Long Hard Road has been similar for Porygonix, who suffered the vengeful wrath of Cr0w at Pre-Show 2, but enjoyed the blessing of a Finals appearance in Tournament 3! Now TonyTheTiger looks to earn his way back into contender status by defeating unofficial #10, Porygonix!

6. Scott-Howell & Murdoink versus Hokey & Ninja_Mime
An unlikely rivalry spurred Scott-Howell and Murdoink into a third round of fighting at Pre-Show 2: Champion's Revenge, but out of this hard fought clash has formed a mututal respect! Now, they will combine in the first ever feaured team bout in The Great Arena as they challenge stalwart contenders, Hokey and Ninja_Mime in a defining exhibition encounter!

7. Ken versus The_Purple_Bunny
Constantly on the cusp of bigger things, The_Purple_Bunny has been an active competitor with little to show for his efforts. His Long Hard Road is in steady contrast to unofficially ranked #9 contender, Ken, whose success has come with an ease rarely seen in competitive fighting! It's an old fashioned rankings match as Ken and TPB face off in The Great Arena at Supercard 3!

8. STEROLIZER versus DaMo
STEROLIZER says he isn't a joke! After another embarassing defeat during Tournament 3, STERO returns to The Great Arena seeking retribution against a fighter weakened after a vicious attack by former champion, Cr0w, who went on the warpath after failing to recapture the title! DaMo fights for a second lease at life -- returning to The Long Hard Road at Supercard 3!

The greatest Supercard Spectacular The Great Arena will ever see happens April 3! Supercard 4 will feature Battle Royale 2011 winner, ElJobber, facing off against the winner of the Undisputed Championship match at Supercard 3: The Long Hard Road! PLUS -- a twenty-person battle royal by popular demand and much more as the greatest fighters in the league meet in the greatest Supercard event ever conceived! Stay tuned for details on April, as well as a possible Pre-Show card in March!

Supercard 2: Triple Double Eliminator Results!

February 20, 2011 -- Anticipation filled The Great Arena as Supercard 2 kicked off a list of the biggest encounters in the history of competition! The Triple Double Eliminator promised to produce a new #1 contender with six of the best entering a Battle Royal, providing a challenger for the winner of Cr0w/Kron III -- the deciding bout in their championship feud! Also looking to be decided, the grudge match of ElJobber/TonyTheTiger III!

Also on the line-up, a view toward the future as sixteen competitors vie for recognition and future glory in Tournament 3: The Eliminator! Mimik and DECEPTION enter the competition as statistical favourites, but with tournament veterans like Hokey, Chromatose, and Porygonix in the randomly drawn mix, anything could happen!

Supercard 2 Undisputed Championship match:
1. Kron defeated Cr0w in a convincing defense.
Minicard 2 saw Cr0w exact revenge on Kron's running buddy, Porygonix, but it would be a different story when the two bitter rivals faced off for their third epic encounter with the Undisputed Championship on the line. At one victory a piece, it was impossible to predict the outcome of these two fighters, who've come to know each other intimately in the arena over the past few months.

As Champion, Kron had shaken the caution that typified his approach in previous tournaments, but even he had to have doubts facing off against his rival, who showed considerable aggression toward the match. Their blows were among the hardest The Great Arena has ever seen, but in the end, Cr0w was simply unable to perform at his peak, while Kron put in a solid showing. The Champion put any doubt about his credibility to rest, convincing in his win.

The result now forces Cr0w out of Championship contention until April, where Battle Royale 2011 winner, ElJobber, has booked a guaranteed championship match against whoever holds the title April 3! The finality of the situation clearly weighed heavily on Cr0w as he unleashed a rampage similar to that seen after his title loss to Kron at Supercard 1. Cr0w had to be restrained after threatening to end the lives of DaMo and Hokey, who each competed in Tournament 3, earlier in the event. Cr0w will no doubt be an agitated and motivated opponent when he enters competition in the near future!


2. Toryn (#6) defeated Ratt (#1) to win the Battle Royal.
With a shot at the Undisputed Championship on the line, six of the top ranked stars of The Great Arena stepped into a Battle Royal situation. Two of the favourites to win, Ratt (#1) and Genku (#2) started the match, designed to add each of the four remaining contenders randomly at ninety second intervals. The delay allowed Ratt and Genku to open with a hard fought one-on-one clash, which saw Genku deliver some devastating blows to the fan-favourite!

Ken entered at #3, executing a little strategy as he allowed Ratt and Genku to continue to lock-up. Ratt turned the tables on Genku, executing a string of powerful attacks that gave Ken the confidence to get involved. Genku found a second-wind against Ken as DeathScepter entered the match at #4. Genku was having the better of Ken, despite a harrowing shot delivered by Ratt! Genku continued to work on Ken, but would succumb to Ratt's assault when Ninja_Mime entered the bout at #5, making an immediate impact with the elimination of Genku!

DeathScepter was brought into the match as Ken looked for another opponent, inviting a double team flurry by Ken and Ratt, who worked on the bizarre one. Ratt soon ended their temporary alliance with a devastating shot that left Ken on the ropes, giving #6 entrant Toryn easy prey to eliminate Ken a mere six seconds after his arrival! Toryn took his momentum, launching an assault on Ninja_Mime with several devastating blows! That didn't stop Mime walking in to an elimination of DeathScepter, however, before Ratt swept in to capitalize on Toryn's work by eliminating Ninja_Mime!

Toryn got the jump on Ratt, but the popular fighter who lasted over an hour in the forty-man Battle Royale at Supercard 1 wasn't about to just give up! Ratt threw everything into a blow that absolutely devastated Toryn, but unfortunately, was not enough to stop the fresher fighter in his tracks. Benefitting from his late entry, the #6 was able to turn the fight back on to a tiring #1, making the conclusion somewhat elementary -- Toryn eliminated Ratt, much as he did in the Semi Final of Tournament 1.


Toryn will now go on to face Kron in the main event of Supercard 3 on March 13! It is the delayed culmination of a journey that saw Toryn controversially increase his powers during Tournament 1, only to fade from the spotlight after a string of upsets and bad luck. Toryn is building moment, winning this contender Battle Royal on the back of a punishing victory over MINION at Mini-Card 2! Will Kron be ready for this opponent? We shall see!

3. ElJobber defeated TonyTheTiger in a solid win.
Having earned top contender status by winning Battle Royale 2011, ElJobber had little to prove in answering a deciding challenge from rival, TonyTheTiger. It had been a different story in Tournament 2, when TonyTheTiger eliminated ElJobber in a shock First Round upset! ElJobber already had his revenge at Minicard 1, but after a surprise loss to DeathScepter at Minicard 2, a third decider was exactly what TonyTheTiger needed to steal back some momentum!

Alas; TonyTheTiger's gambit was for naught as ElJobber performed to a minimum, but still secured a comprehensive win over his rival. The performance must have been a tantalizingly bittersweet affair for TonyTheTiger, however, as ElJobber was well within reach had he performed to his peak. Tony's future now becomes uncertain as ElJobber moves closer to his April 3 main event against the reigning Undisputed Champion!


Tournament 3: The Eliminator First Round:
1. Mimik defeated Pink_Ranger in total decimation.
2. unixpunk defeated Buster in an incredibly close fought battle.
3. DaMo defeated MINION in a +3 punishing win.
4. Chromatose defeated Murdoink in a close match.
5. Scott-Howell defeated wife_smasher in a close match.
6. Hokey defeated The_Purple_Bunny in a good bout.
7. Porygonix defeated STEROLIZER in a decent win.
8. DECEPTION defeated ThirtyThr33 in a narrow result.

Tournament 3: The Eliminator Second Round:
1. Mimik defeated unixpunk in a devastating +6 decimation!
2. DaMo defeated Chromatose in a solid win.
3. Hokey defeated Scott-Howell in a decimation.
4. Porygonix defeated DECEPTION in a narrow victory.

Tournament 3: The Eliminator Semi Finals:
1. Mimik defeated DaMo in a close fought match.
It was a blockbuster encounter in the first semi-final bout as Mimik and DaMo faced off, looking surprisingly evenly matched. Mimik and DECEPTION had entered the tournament with favourite status, Mimik living up to his status with dominant victories over Pink_Ranger and upstart contender, unixpunk, who went down to a +6 impact. DaMo had set the bar prior to Mimik's win, with a +3 victory over MINION, before ending former contender, Chromatose's tournament.

Very little separated the two, but with a finals berth on the line, it was Mimik who stepped it up a notch. DaMo could have no shame in his loss, however, the result complimenting his Tournament 1 Quarter Finals success.


2. Hokey defeated Porygonix in a solid win.
In a far more subtle affair than the first semi-final, two fixtures of the sentimental favourites faced off in a battle of outsider contenders. Despite a modest repetoire, Hokey's penchant for lasting deep into tournaments had seen him fight to a Semi Final in Tournament 1 and a Quarter Final in Tournament 2! Though less successful, Porygonix had also enjoyed tournament distinction with several eliminations, as well as a recent victory over newly crowned #1 contender, Toryn.

Ultimately, the measure of credentials appeared to be the measure of a fighter, seeing Hokey to yet another golden run through a tournament. Hokey was convincing in his defeat of Porygonix, merciful with a standard +1 impact, as opposed to the round-topping blows he's been known for.


Tournament 3: The Eliminator Final match:
1. Mimik defeated Hokey in a great, close fought final!
It was highstakes drama in the final of Tournament 3! The Eliminator presented a curious clash of a rising power whose strength earned him top favourite status, and a wildcard competitor who had made a name for himself defying the odds and upsetting seeded contenders!

The stoush between luck and skill produced yet another incredibly close match! With very little separating the two, Mimik emerged the last man standing, overcoming Hokey's competitive showing by a narrow margin. Mimik was gracious in victory, but no doubt aware that his victory in The Eliminator could be the beginning of bigger and better things!


With some of the biggest bouts behind us, the customary alignment of unofficial contender rankings was a difficult task for the committe this time. Bursting at the seems with fighters vying for contention, those even remotely down on their luck had to take a backseat to the battling bulge. Circumstances clearly had a part to play, with better promoted fighters enjoying the spoils of their victory, while those with successes at Minicard 2 also had something to celebrate. The final list presents interesting prospects as The Great Arena moves toward March events, and the special April spectacular, yet to be formally announced.

Champion: Kron
#1 Toryn
#2 ElJobber
#3 Cr0w
#4 Ratt
#5 Mimik
#6 Hokey
#7 Ninja_Mime
#8 Genku
#9 Ken
#10 Porygonix

Pre-Show 2 Results: Champion's Revenge!

February 13, 2010 -- The atmosphere in The Great Arena was intimate for the second ever Pre-Show Mini-Card! It was at Battle Royale that the lines were drawn for the Champion's Revenge, when Cr0w lost the Undisputed Title in a surprise loss to challenger and arch-rival, Kron! The two will face-off in a third and final bitter showdown at Supercard 2: Triple Double - The Eliminator, forcing Cr0w to take his aggressions out on Kron's innocent running buddy, Porygonix!

The former champion wouldn't be the only one seeking revenge in The Great Arena, with several grudge matches spinning out of the action at Battle Royale 2011! Scott-Howell, STEROLIZER, and DeathScepter would all come into Mini-Card 2 with designs to take revenge on the men who eliminated them from the forty-man rumble on January 31; Murdoink, Ken, and TonyTheTiger, respectively. STERO in particular would have special motivation, given that he was the fastest man eliminated during the Battle Royale, sent packing by Ken the second he made his entrance into the fight!

Also elevating the Pre-Show above it's Mini-Card status -- Ninja_Mime and unixpunk competing for an opportunity to enter a six-man championship contender battle royale at Supercard 2, and Toryn in action against #2 entrant in the Battle Royale, MINION -- furious at his omission from the forty-man encounter! PLUS: the reveal of a mystery opponent taking on Great Arena sensation and top contender, Ratt!

1. Cr0w defeated Porygonix in a solid win.
In the main event, it wasn't quite the steamrolling some might have expected! Cr0w was certainly motivated in his pitstop on the way to the Undisputed Championship, but did not look nearly as dominant as he was when he decimated tabmok99 during an immediate, post-loss rampage! Fortunately for the #1 Contender, Porygonix completely failed to capitalize on his opportunity at a second career upset [remember his big win against Toryn at Mini-Card 1], also failing to perform at his peak! In the end, Cr0w was convincing, but surprisingly sombre in his convincing win over Porygonix. No doubt he will be much less gentle when he meets Kron in the third and final fight in their championship series -- the eliminator!

2. DeathScepter defeated TonyTheTiger in a surprise victory.
TonyTheTiger has been a star on the rise in The Great Arena, earning acknowledgment for his comeptitive, if opportunistic, tactics. TonyTheTiger was able to capitalize on situations during the Battle Royale to earn himself three tidy eliminations, one of which was a none too grateful DeathScepter! Replaced by TonyTheTiger in the Unofficial Contender Rankings, the bizarre one made a case for himself, picking up a solid win against an underperforming TonyTheTiger. Far from embarassed, TonyTheTiger will have an opportunity to redeem himself in the eyes of the rankings comittee when he clashes in a third and final grudge match against the winner of Battle Royale 2011, ElJobber, on February 20!

3. Toryn defeated MINION in a punishing decimation!
Toryn became a controversial, but likely contender, when he went on a dubious training rampage during Tournament 1. Despite this lasting reputation, however, his grip on contention stakes has been tenuous at best. After losing in a shock upset to Porygonix during Battle Royale Qualifiers -- Toryn failed to make the random draw.

MINION's luck was against him when he entered at #2 in the randomly drawn forty-man battle royale! There was nothing random about the punishing +5 beating he would take in this bout, however, as Toryn created his own luck! The dominating victory has rekindled Toryn's flagging hopes at a Championship, which remains in his grasp if he can overcome five other contenders in a six-man battle royal at Supercard 2!


4. Ninja_Mime defeated unixpunk in a comprehensive win, earning him a place in the Super-Card 2 Six-Man Contender Battle Royal!
With the fifth spot in February 20's six-man #1 contender battle royal on the line, it would be a clash of unofficial contenders, #9 and #10, respectively. unixpunk impressed in his showing during the forty-man Battle Royale, bundled out at #34 by eventual runner-up, Genku, but not before making three eliminations of his own! Ninja_Mime was not quite as impactful during his #34 entry, but impressed when he won a guaranteed spot by defeating Mimik in Pre-Show Qualifiers!

Ninja_Mime's skill in one-on-one competition carried through to his second battle royale qualifier in as many months, the less experienced unixpunk showing just how green he is when the fight is targetted one way. Ninja_Mime was comprehensive in his +3 impact win, but will enter The Eliminator contender battle royal as an underdog, facing off against highly regarded competitors of the calibre of Ratt, Genku, Toryn, and Ken!


5. Ken destroyed STEROLIZER in a brutal decimation!
STEROLIZER was utterly embarassed on January 31, eliminated the instant he made his entry into the Battle Royale at #6, the first man out. He had revenge on his mind in the undercard, but would only compound the embarassment, walking directly in to a shocking +16 brutality! The shocking decimation puts Ken in good stead for his arrival in the Championship stakes, a placement he earned with an impressive five eliminations from the forty-man Battle Royale! Five eliminations is all it will take for Ken to walk away from February 20's Eliminator battle royal the #1 contender!

6. Murdoink defeated Scott-Howell in an incredibly close fight!
No one saw it coming, but when Scott-Howell made his entry into the forty-man Battle Royale at #26, he became the target of Murdoink, who contributed to his eventual elimination! As it turns out, the backstory to this unlikely feud came from Tournament 1, where Murdoink was quietly eliminated from the field of one hundred and fourteen by Howell in the First Round! Murdoink would apparently get the last laugh, however, going the distance in an epic tooth and claw fight! With a result so unbelievably close, you've got to wonder if this fight won't have brought these two men together, building a foundation of respect on their mutual determination to win! Truly a great, over performing fight for an undercard bout!

7. Ratt defeated Baraka_MK in a total decimation!
The phenomenon of Ratt's rise through the ranks cannot be summed up as the result of a single event. Ratt is the culmination of a personality, gracious in victory and defeat, enthusiastic when faced with any obstacle! Once upon a time, he was a man facing death, but out of this adversity has come one of the most dynamic challengers in The Great Arena! After enduring a staggering seventy-minutes in the Battle Royale, which took him from #6 entry to second-to-last (#38) elimination, the frequent runner-up has earned the respect and acknowledgment of the Unofficial Contender Rankings, emerging as #2 behind out-going former-champion, Cr0w, but above the man who eliminated him and won the Battle Royale, ElJobber!

The cult of Ratt meant there was a lot of anticipation surrounding his mystery opponent bout, announced purely because it wouldn't be an event in The Great Arena without him! A random draw produced Baraka_MK, who stood little to no chance -- a lamb to the slaughter of one of the most popular fighters ever seen! BMK buckled beneath the onslaught of Ratt's +5 assault, setting up a momentum-filled attack on the #1 contender spot at February 20's Triple Double - The Eliminator Supercard! Coupled with his phenomenal performance in the forty-man Battle Royale, it seems Ratt might be the favourite in every sense of the word, walking in to a measly six-man elimination battle royal with the most impressive credentials of any of the competitors, who are now: Genku, Toryn, Ken, and Ninja_Mime, with a final name to be determined on the day.


Despite it's supposed mini-card status, Pre-Show 2 was an overwhelming success! Now, all eyes turn toward February 20, for Supercard 2: Triple Double - The Eliminator! It's a night with three main events when Cr0w/Kron III decides who walks away the most powerful Undisputed Champion in history; ElJobber/TonyTheTiger III tests the worth of the Battle Royale 2011 winner, who will get a Championship shot in April at a special Supercard extravaganza; and the six-man #1 contender battle royal that will see Ratt, Genku, Toryn, Ken, Ninja_Mime, and a yet to be announced sixth man enter at random every ninty seconds, fighting for the right to face the winner of Kron/Cr0w at Supercard 3 -- March 13!

PLUS! Tournament 3: The Eliminator -- the sixteen-man elimination bracket that will help create the next big star from a field including; DECEPTION, Mimik, Hokey, The_Purple_Bunny, Murdoink, Chromatose, and more! Do not miss it! Supercard 2: Triple Double - The Eliminator -- February 20, 2011 only in #MicksDesk!

February Schedule: The Eliminator + Pre-Show!

It's been more than a month since the dreaded Lord Mislukking invaded and conquered the Cheevment Kingdom. While the threat of his malevolence remains, the users of #MicksDesk and #MortalKombat have found a curious sense of order in the ruins of their community, facilitated by the law of honorable combat.

A key facilitator in this organized post-society is Mislukking's Third Horseman, Ares Mensclich, who along with independently formed Union of The Human League, has contrived a system of scheduled fights to entertain and occupy the remnants of community. It is designed to curb rebellion, but it may very well be battle hardening those who will eventually rise up against their dark oppressor -- a fact the Horseman of War will probably relish!

Supercard 1: Battle Royale 2011 has set the stage for a big round of battles in The Great Arena, this February! The action begins with Pre-Show 2: Champion's Revenge, a mini-card promising a diverse showcase leading in to the next blockbuster main event, Supercard 2: The Eliminator! If you haven't found out what happened in last month's forty-man battle royale, you need to go check out complete stats, as well as the new unofficial top ten contender rankings! Once you're done, scroll down here to get the February lowdown!

Pre-Show 2: Champion's Revenge! (February 13, 2011)
It's the pre-show card so big, it's practically a Supercard! The fallout from Battle Royale 2011 brings us some surprisingly intense match-ups for this Pre-Show Minicard, none more bitter than the main event! A lot of fighters are looking for payback, but this is undeniably the story of a champion on the warpath!...

1. Cr0w versus Porygonix
At Battle Royale 2011, Cr0w went on the immediate warpath after losing his title, devastating a string of bystanders including a shocking +9 impact on tabmok99, which preceeded his voluntary suicide! Cr0w even turned his attentions to a thoroughly intimidated Battle Royale winner, ElJobber, whose victory secured a championship fight in April!

He'll have to wait until February 20 to get his championship rematch against Kron, but in the mean time, Cr0w will look to take a pound of flesh from Kron's running buddy, when the Champion's Revenge threatens Porygonix in the Pre-Show main event! Good luck, Pory! You're gonna need it!


2. DeathScepter versus TonyTheTiger
After winning against DaMo to secure his spot in the Battle Royale in the Pre-Show Qualifiers; DeathScepter entered the rumble at #25, only to be scored out as the thirtieth elimination! The man responsible -- TonyTheTiger: a star on the rise who eliminated three fighters in the Battle Royale! A win here could really bolster TonyTheTiger's rise through the ranks, but you can never count out the bizarre DeathScepter!

3. Toryn versus MINION
During Tournament 1, Toryn emerged as a controversial potent force favoured to win the Championship! His questionable heavy training regime set him up as the top heel in The Great Arena, but it seems that his stardom has faded as quickly as it was gained! After failing to qualify for the Battle Royale, Toryn also missed out in the random draw. Fighting to keep his name in contention lists, Toryn will take his aggressions out on the man who entered at #2 -- MINION! It's make or break time as Toryn faces the prospect of another shocking upset!

4. Ninja_Mime versus unixpunk for place in Supercard 2 Battle Royal
Making up #9 and #10 in the unofficial contender rankings -- these two warriors will battle it out for a shot at the big time! unixpunk really asserted himself as a name to watch in the Battle Royale when he eliminated three competitors in twenty-eight minutes! Ninja_Mime is a solid fighter who earned an impressive victory against Mimik during Pre-Show Qualifiers and lasted a similar twenty-nine minutes in the Battle Royale. Now; one of these two will get to do it again, the winner qualifying for a six-man #1 contender elimination battle royal at Supercard 2!

5. STEROLIZER versus Ken
Cr0w won't be the only fighter looking for revenge at Pre-Show 2!
STEROLIZER may have been the sixth man to enter the Battle Royale, but he was the first to be eliminated when Ken unceremoniously sent him back from where he came in only one second! Will it be the ultimate payback for STERO, or just another crushing embarassment?


6. Scott-Howell versus Murdoink
There are a lot of rivalries building in The Great Arena, and with some of the major stars coming to blows, you'd be forgiven for not noticing this one! It was in the First Round of Tournament 1 that the seeds of this battle were planted. Scott-Howell eliminated Murdoink in the first big competition, with no apparent story to follow. During Battle Royale 2011, however, Murdoink took the fight to Howell on several occasions, delivering harsh shots that led to his eventual elimination [by unixpunk]. Grievances will be aired as these two look to settle their differences -- or start an even more bitter feud!

7. Ratt will face a random Mystery Opponent!
It simply wouldn't be a night in The Great Arena without Ratt!
This humble star has earned the hearts of admiration of the spectators in the arena, proving his guts and determination in the Battle Royale with an impressive seventy minutes in the match! Ratt didn't just enter the rumble -- he survived from #9 all the way to #38, eliminating MINION (#6 elim.), Fires (#9), Ken (#10), ZachAngel (#11), rxvt (#17), Hokey (#20), Queequeg (#32), NovaStarr (#30)!

Who will be Ratt's next victim? We'll all have to stay tuned to find out!


Supercard 2: Triple Double - The Eliminator! (February 20, 2011)
At Supercard 2, everything will be on the line as rivals meet, contenders are made, and the Undisputed Championship goes on the line! The Great Arena will play host to a "triple double" main event of Cr0w/Kron III and ElJobber/TonyTheTiger III -- the ultimate rematch in these two incredible feuds! Plus -- after the success of Battle Royale 2011, we're going to do it all again with a special six-man elimination battle royal to determine the challenger for March! All this, plus Tournament 3 -- the ultimate eliminator!

1. Cr0w versus Kron for the Undisputed Championship!
The Undisputed Championship will be on the line as these two epic rivals meet in their final encounter! Fight 1 went to Cr0w! Fight 2 went to Kron! Now one will walk away the Undisputed Champion -- while the other will return to the flock, to earn their way back into title contention no sooner than April! They are the two biggest stars in The Great Arena and they're fighting for the biggest prize! After the Champion's Revenge comes Cr0w v Kron III: The Eliminator!

2. TonyTheTiger versus ElJobber
As the winner of Battle Royale 2011, ElJobber has a guaranteed championship match at a special event in April! He isn't crazy enough to give that up, but he'll gladly take a main event warm-up bout with rising star and fierce rival, TonyTheTiger! Fight 1 went to TonyTheTiger! Fight 2 went to ElJobber Now it's make or break as the next wave of championship competitors face-off for ego and glory!

3. Ratt vs Genku vs Ken vs Toryn vs Ninja_Mime or unixpunk vs TBA
After the success of the forty-man Battle Royale, The Great Arena will play host to another epic rumble when six of the top contenders face-off for a chance to face either Kron or Cr0w for the Undisputed Championship at Supercard 3!

With a random draw that sees a competitor enter every ninety seconds, there's advantage to be had in coming in last, but it'll take more than numbers! An early entrant could easily cut through the competition, gaining an unstoppable momentum! It's another "triple double" as six-pure bred fighters enter for the ultimate opportunity in The Eliminator!


4. Tournament 3 will see a sixteen-fighter elimination bracket unfold as the ultimate Eliminator, including: DECEPTION, Hokey, The_Purple_Bunny, Mimik, Murdoink, Artanix, Chromatose, ThirtyThr33, wife_smasher, DeathScepter, DaMo, and more!
With the committee for unofficial rankings watching on, it's another opportunity for stars to be born as sixteen fighters enter the ultimate eliminator -- Tournament 3! Only one fighter will be left standing, with the feat of eliminating four other fighters! A great experience builder and sure way to rise through the unofficial ranks!

Remember! The action will be in #MicksDesk on February 13 and 20! To train up you want to get online to cheev and !fight your way through NPCs and fellow users, working toward the ultimate prize: the Undisputed Championship!
