The bodies began to hit the floor as Round 2 of Grand Prix Warm-Up 2016 kicked into a higher gear on the road to Ultimate Grand Prix! The gambit of newly crowned Undisputed Champion DECEPTION continued to pay-off with a solid victory over Pink_Ranger. His hopes to better prepare for Battle Royale winner and Hall of Fame UGP challenger Kron hinge on a gamble that could still seriously backfire in his face!
Helping DECEPTION out in R2 is the elimination of #3 seed The_Purple_Bunny at the hands of old rival and competitive dangerman Knickxasawrrrr! TPB's arch-rival and #4 seed "The Chosen One" Damo also emerged as one of the top exits, going out in a less surprising upset to "The Guardian" CaTigeReptile. In DECEPTION's half of the draw: Mime made an impact with a devastating MAX Damage victory over The Invasion's ShawnMichaels! Better luck for reigning KFL Champion Banging and Division 2 Champion Benjamin -- both progressing with comfortable wins. m0s and Shoe also emerged as prominent challengers. King Ken scored another important victory as well, setting up a Round 3 face-off with classic rival Jammer2Omega!
In the bottom half of the bracket, ElJobber continued a strong showing at the expense of avenger45. Fellow ousted Undisputed Champion United: Hokey also made it through in a by the numbers domination. More impressive - The Great Genku remaining on the winner's list with a surprisingly strong win over VenoMark! The friendly tournament rivalry between VM and MKR will likely continue, MKR progressing with a much safer draw.
Disappointments from Round 2 include exits by NightHawk, Baraka_MK, "Mad Dog" Onryo, DeathScepter and NovaStarr. The Invasion endured mass casualties, losing ShawnMichaels, AcidicWonder, Jason_Voorhees, Shen_DuHBK, The_Rock and Grayback.
