Tournament 63: Grand Slam Launch - Round 3

Round 3 began with its most shocking moment -- the surprise elimination of Undisputed Champion Hokey! It obviously ends the hopeful back-to-back campaign of 2015's Summer Grand Slam winner, but also throws a spanner into the works of the championship picture. With no #1 contender named at this stage, could DeathScepter emerge from Tournament 63 an unlikely challenger?

The match of the round was Genku's stunning MAX Damage victory over "The Guardian" CaTigeReptile! Few could've predicted such a one-sided affair beforehand. It reaffirms the statement of intent made by Genku in 2015, but puts a dent in CTR's hopes of finally reaching for her first Undisputed Championship. Both will be names to watch heading into the Supercard season.

Jammer2Omega continued his rise with an impressive win against the statistically superior Banging. Still fighting with a defiant ferocity was mwgrant0, as well! kingjolly will be a surprise appearance in Round 4 after felling The_Hurricane. Fellow ICWW alums Statix and Loopster fared much better in Round 3. Statix has shown a tournament acumen in the past, winning the 2014 Mid-Year Grand Slam, and runner-up in both the 2014 & 2015 Summer Grand Slams. He'll pose a real threat to steadfast #2 seed m0s in the Fourth Round!
