Like his partner Jammer2Omega in the Class B Heats; Porygonix faced long odds as a last minute qualifier entering Class C Heats for the 2016 Master's Series!
His field wasn't populated with the same degree of heavyweight opposition, but his first opponent would be the Class C favourite: "The Guardian" CaTigeReptile! CTR lived up to the hype as she introduced the 2016 Duo Division prospect with a hard hitting, convincing win. He could've been forgiven for staggering into another loss, but Porygonix rallied for his second match against 3-time Division 2 Champion: Benjamin!
With an unlikely win at his back, Porygonix then stepped up to an opponent that interested him greatly - reigning Duo Division Champion: Shoe! The United fighter made history at Supercard 87: End Of Days by combining with Artanix to upset "Team Xtreme" Marz & Violent`J -- ending their 420 day streak as Duo Division Champions! For hopeful title challenger Porygonix, the tournament match was a chance to test himself against one-half of the new champs! A test that burnt him terribly as Shoe unleashed a whirlwind offense against the lone Duo rising star!
CaTigeReptile repeated her +3 rated success with a second comprehensive win, over Benjamin, but found stiff opposition when revisiting her major rival prior to the war with The Invasion! Shoe had the edge in their final encounter at Supercard 86: Survivor Sequence - Invasion, and one-on-one he was able to catch The Guardian on the back foot, as well! They fought hard, but CaTigeReptile's post-war celebrations were put on hold as Shoe secured an equalizing second victory!
With with a +5 impact rating advantage of CaTigeReptile, Shoe didn't even need to win his final match to qualify for the Semi Finals. For Benjamin, it was an opportunity to pick up a win against a casual, over confident opponent. Alas, Shoe was simply too good! An effortless win confirming his unblemished Class C win. His qualification sets up an intriguing contest of Duo Division Champions - Artanix versus Shoe our first confirmed Semi Final match!
