Tournament 68: Mid-Year Grand Slam - Round 2

Old rivalries were revisited in Round 2 as the 2016 Mid-Year Grand Slam amped up the action!

#3 seed VenoMark held his ground against old rival "The Guardian" CaTigeReptile, earning a strong win to keep his sights set on the Undisputed Championship! King Ken revisited a history of sparring with Jammer2Omega, maintaining his upper hand as "King of the World". "The Secret Weapon" SubScorpTile etched his name in the Div.2 winners list, beating out former champ and title rival Zentile in a solid victory!

The biggest story of Day 3 was the shock elimination of reigning Undisputed Champion and #1 seed DECEPTION! The wisdom of adding a tournament endurance event to the trials of being champion has often been debated. It wasn't something that bothered DECEPTION when he won Tournament 64: Grand Prix Warm-Up 2016 in April, but the path finally ran short - Loopster edging out a win!

DECEPTION was the first seed to fall in the early goings. #4 seed and reigning KFL Champion Statix earned a dominant +20 impact win over ]{0MBAT! In the final fight of the round, #2 seed The_Purple_Bunny fought a main event worthy match with United: Artanix, taking it +3!

Tournament 68 is fast emerging as an event of dire consequences: Hokey progressed in a domination of Dolce, while Hall of Fame Duo Division Champion Violent`J wiped out TheMetinPorta. They both join big name Round 2 duo casualty Menas on the incapacitated list! Ratt was another Hall of Famer causing harm, taking out The_Hurricane to the tune of +10. Mime didn't fatally wound his opponent, but never the less joined the MAX Damage club, battering Supercard 80 Duo contender CCShadow!
