A string of famous firsts would define the course for Week 5 of the Kombat Fight League!
kamikaze-dragon1 joined the KFL, finding himself thrown straight into competition as Friday Night Fights went to a random draw booking system for the first time! Consistent with FNF's abandoned stat matchmaking; the KFL also experienced its first challenges as The_Purple_Bunny sought revenge against "Mr. Daruma" m0s for his Week 4 defeat, and Nephrite (HRV) requested a special Euroclash against Zmoke (FIN)!
Methuselah6463 and redman managed to break extra new ground, fighting to the KFL's first draw in six events! It may have been a farcry from the victory redman has been chasing, but the result was enough to bump him off the bottom of the rankings, as Jerrod suffered a punishing +7 defeat at the hands of Ghostdragon! With more history and experience in The Great Arena than most fighters, Jerrod shouldn't have much trouble finding his first win as selections go randomized, but anything is possible, and there are plenty of sharks circling top and bottom of the ladder!
It was jack4183 who quietly assumed top spot this week, besting SubMan799 in a repeat of their stat-based encounter of Week 2! Ninja_Mime joined him, trailing by a single loss after he secured a similar, sturdy victory over longtime Duo Division rival, Scott-Howell. Former #1 and reigning Duo Division Champion (w/ ShingoEX), The Great Genku, was not randomly selected for a fight, giving him his second week off since the beginning of competition. The dominant former-leader picked up an impressive win at Komplete Edition against Crow, who hadn't been seen in colosseum competition since turning Turncoat in November, 2011. knickxasawrrrr - another former KFL #1 - found himself relegated to equal fifth, taken down a peg by CaTigeReptile, who joined him evenly on cumulative impact points.

1. "Mr. Daruma" m0s d. The_Purple_Bunny in a solid challenge rebuttal.
2. Ninja_Mime d. Scott-Howell

4. CaTigeReptile d. knickxasawrrrr in a solid +2 encounter.
5. Nephrite d. Zmoke in a close fought challenge match!
6. Ghostdragon d. Jerrod in a comprehensive +7 victory!
7. Methuselah6463 and redman fought to a complete standstill!
8. Jironobou d. kamikaze-dragon1 in a close match-up.
Week 5 proves there's still plenty of room for unknowns in the Kombat Fight League, new events giving way to a significant shuffle of the top ranks. jack4813 emerges as a major player, having existed somewhat beneath notice courtesy of the bigger names calling attention to themselves! He and The Great Genku shared in bonus prizes at Komplete Edition, but find themselves separated as Genku -- one of those noisy big names -- finds himself relegated by a conspiracy of fate. Ninja_Mime, on the other hand, is finally getting over the hump of a slow start to 2012, capitalizing on experience that took him to a reign as Undisputed Champion late in 2011. Experience isn't everything, though. A draw with redman was enough to keep newcomer Methuselah6463 in the hunt, even as another recent debut, knickxasawrrrr, relinquishes the momentum he had prior to enduring his first loss at Komplete Edition. knickxasawrrrr will reteam with his brother, m0s, when they seek their first victory in universal competition at Supercard 21: The Long Hard Road.
