Tournament 69: Division 2 Championship IV

Seeding would count for nothing as sixty-four hopeful Division 2 fighters arrived in The Great Arena for Tournament 69: Division 2 Championship IV! Announced earlier this same week; the invitational tournament was conceived to resolve the vacancy of the title after "The Franchise" Poasty suffered a career threatening injury!

Benjamin and "Secret Weapon" SubScorpTile were thought to be the favourites coming in, determining their seeded arrangements with a match during the July 8 Friday Night Fights. Instead, they both fell by the wayside, dropping out successively in the opening rounds in mild upsets!

Sekktor and Shen_DuHBK temporarily replaced the seeds as favourites, but they too were fast victims of a tournament riddled with unpredictability! The Invasion's Rhyno unexpectedly took out former champ and European Unionist Zentile. RSA's J1sy flipped the script on Alliance power player The_Hurricane!

A few prominent figures managed to make their way through the crowded field. Murdoink took out NovaStarr in a hard fought repeat of their FNF clash. Chromatose crushed a path to the Quarters, where he took out upstart eliminator Stealth-Ninja! Even Politics teased a fairytale finish, upending Maridany in his quest to fight on for fallen partner Menas!

In the Semi Final, the picture appeared to crystallize. avenger45 upset emerging favourite Murdoink in a hard fought match, while Chromatose brought the pain to a hopeful Politics. It seemed like a script was written to deliver Chromatose his second title reign -- but much like the earlier final in May of Tournament 67: A Fighter For Europe, his notable experience was going to count for naught!

avenger45 had been a dark horse flying under the radar throughout much of 2016. Even as he'd racked up solid victories beginning with a Round 1 win over Jason_Voorhees, and elimination of seed killer Shen_DuHBK in Round 3 - avenger45 evaded notice! Someone should've seen it coming when he toppled Murdoink in the Semi Finals - but still, it was dismissed as a tournament upset!

Dark horse no longer: avenger45 claims the Division 2 Championship for the first time in his career with his first tournament victory, as well! Chromatose could only lament his wasted history as The Great Arena paid homage to its unexpected new champion!
