Tournament 75: Division 2 Championship V - Day 1

Since the title's inception in 2013; the Division 2 Championship has been a prestigious benchmark for the striving up-and-comers in The Great Arena! No title has been as aggressively pursued, with the title's anniversary marked by an annual October Tournament that sees the bracket survivor challenging the Division 2 Champion themselves!

Tournament 75: Division 2 Championship V has been broken up into a two-day event, with the First Round gathering 64 of the best Division 2 fighters of 2016! Tournament 69 winner avenger45 enters seeded #1, with former champion Benjamin at #2. Both of these top rated contenders earned comfortable wins into the second round, with Benjamin taking out highly regarded Invasion hopeful and former Div.2 Champion: Shen_DuHBK!

Fellow Invasion fighter Jason_Voorhees emerged as the big winner of Round 1, taking out another Invasion fighter, Rhyno, to the tune of a hard-hitting +10 damage! Other impact players in the rack breaker were ShawnMichaels, and unbeaten former Div.2 Champion Poasty - whose recent training regime has been in preparation of a title winning comeback! +5 damage is sure an encouraging start!

The big eliminations were led by recent title challengers: Politics and Jerrod! Politics had a tough draw against former Div.2 dominator NovaStarr, while Olympic standout Jerrod found himself upset by the stinging attack of Greek Crisis fighter proXade!

There are still plenty of big names alive as the tournament moves ahead: Chromatose, Murdoink, "The Apprentice" DeathScepter, "Portuguese Pegasus" Zentile, Nephrite, UlcaTron, maxilos, G0LD and SubMan799 are all major threats! Will one of them claim the title? The answer will be determined tomorrow as Tournament 75: Division 2 Championship V concludes!
