A week of Tournament 64: Grand Prix Warm-Up 2016 action shook the league ranks up, sending the cream frothing to the top! For the first time in quite a while the three solo champions are all ranking the Top 10, thanks in no small part to the meteoric rise of "The Hitman" DECEPTION since his return at Battle Royale! Contesting a tournament with 127 other fighters is always a risk for an Undisputed Champion, but DECEPTION played the perfect game, joining an elite few Grand Slam Tournament winners who earned their crown as reigning champ!
The Alliance powerhouse AlbertBeefcake proved to be the surprise package of Tournament 64, under the radar right until his face-off with the champ. KFL Champion Banging and Division 2 Champion Benjamin may have dropped 1 rank for AlbertBeefcake's entry, but they too put in perfectly credible performances as the second tier champions! Ghostdragon, Jammer2Omega and DaemonX all parlayed strong performances to raise their stock considerably in the Division 2 ranks, as well.
United: Shoe was able to turn his defeat of the Division 2 Champion into a Semi Final berth and a major boost in the Top 10 rankings. Bolstered by a strong Duo Division pedigree, Shoe's stock seems to be coming to the fore right when it counts! No such luck for teammate United: Hokey, who also contested the Semi Final, but didn't have a strong enough start to the year to hit the top.
Supercard 75 #1 contender m0s was well primed to capitalize on his modest run to re-enter the Top 10. He remains a lingering threat to the Undisputed Championship, having missed the opportunity to take advantage of his status in February. There's blood on his hands, though. A week without Duo Division competition didn't stop major Duo news coming out of T64 -- m0s responsible for ending the run of Politics & Menas with a -1up defeat of Politics!
