Tournament 63: Grand Slam Launch - Round 4

Depending on your perspective - it was either a round of stabilizing, or shattered dreams.

Several upstart competitors met their end in the Round of 16 as the stronger classes asserted their dominance with the finals in sight. kingjolly was the only stranger in paradise, fighting his way past redman in a stunning continuation of a dream run! kingjolly seems to be tapping into the desperation of vulnerability -- something mwgrant0 could no longer rely on in his match against an in-form Knickxasawrrrr.

The most heartbreaking loss of the round may have been Jammer2Omega's. The fan-favourite's rise was ended in a close fought, blockbuster encounter with arch-rival Benjamin! It was a similarly well matched encounter when #2 seed and 2015 Master's Series winner m0s met his end against old rival Statix! It wouldn't be surprising to see both of these bouts lead to something more in 2016!

The Great Genku emerged from Round 4 as the strongest favourite in competition. TonyTheTiger proved his predatory senses are as sharp as ever with an impressive win against dark horse contender Artanix. The United's Shoe carried the torch against fluke Undisputed Champion eliminator "The Apprentice" DeathScepter. Too noticeable to be under the radar was ElJobber, as well.
