Tournament 68: Mid-Year Grand Slam - Round 4

With the finals in sight, the major challengers to the Mid-Year Grand Slam title made their move! The unusually high impact rate cooled in Round 4 as a notably high quality field of challengers moved into the deeper rounds. Only #2 seed The_Purple_Bunny delivered a double digit impact. His grudge match with "The Chosen One" Damo was one of the most anticipated battles of the round, producing a scintillating grudge match rooted in their early feud!

The tournament lost its second of the seeds, #3 VenoMark suffering defeat at the Hall of Fame hands of all-time great Ratt! #4 seed Statix proved himself as KFL Champion in the non-title situation, stepping up to Mime in an exciting hard fought match! The Statix win really exceeded expectations, recalling his shock 2014 Mid-Year Grand Slam title win at Tournament 44!

The Invasion lost their final hopes in the tournament: Hokey was upended in a high caliber battle against The Great Genku. ICWW fans were treated to a thrilling grudge match, Violent`J taking out Invasion Duo player Banging in a solid fight. The United kept an iron in the fire, however, with managerial recruit DArqueBishop outperforming his team!

Benjamin's bye into the Fourth Round probably didn't prepare him well for a highly motivated attack from "The Fallen" LordSkarlet! LS' return to Grand Slam tournament finals - a bold step in the resurrection of his career! King Ken was a more surprising elimination.
