With no time to recover from all the action of the 2016 Summer Olympic Games and All-Star Summer Showdown -- the first half of the randomly drawn Summer Grand Slam tournament bracket entered The Great Arena! Leading them was reigning Undisputed Champion DECEPTION, whose bold choice to enter the final Grand Slam event of 2016 once again proved he's a fighting champion and a worthy face of The New Generation dominating competition this year!
DECEPTION's entry as #1 seed was rewarded with a big win over kingjolly. The Summer Grand Slam boasts only two seeds situated at the bottom and top of the brackets. The Great Genku will get a chance to redeem his All-Star Summer Showdown championship loss on Day 2 as the #2 seed!
Another champion got a taste of the risks that come with entering a 128-fighter bracket - the reigning KFL Champion! "American Nightmare" LordSkarlet faced Alliance superstar The_Hurricane in a grueling match that extended him much farther than he would've liked for a First Round encounter. As a Semi Finalist in the Mid-Year Grand Slam, LordSkarlet will be looking to go deep into this event to cap off his rise from The Fallen!
The only Hall of Famer competing on Day 1 also produced the most severe impact, United: Mimik strong in his victory over deadly. Other favourites picking up wins on the first day of the tournament: The_Purple_Bunny, ElJobber, King Ken, Loopster, Scott-Howell and Chromatose. Olympians impressed on Day 1: ArtemisFlow and shin scored surprising big wins. Politics and Jerrod continued their hot streak from the Games.
Sadly, not all fighters made it out of the first grueling contest. Canadian Bronze Medalist xtactics was left in bad shape by his run at the games. He was dominated by "Bad Bad" Leroy, sending him to the growing Incapacitated List.
