Tournament 81: Mid-Year Grand Slam - Round 4

Only one seed remained after an explosive Round 4 at the 2017 Mid-Year Grand Slam! Both of the year's two previous Grand Slam Tournament winners were knocked out of the Round of 16!

Grand Slam Launch winner and #2 seed ElJobber was victim of a minor upset when reigning KFL Champion, and former Unholy Alliance partner United: Mime earned a comprehensive victory! The 2017 Grand Prix Warm-Up winner and #4 seed DECEPTION found himself outmatched in a more competitive contest with "The Guardian" CaTigeReptile!

MKMaster had been a shock Runner-Up in April's Grand Prix Warm-Up, but his dark horse status finally ran out when #3 seed VenoMark overcame another upstart performance. Oozaru announced himself as another serious threat with his second consecutive MAX Damage win! This time the devastating impact came at the expense of a recently in-form TonyTheTiger!

"Portuguese Pegasus" Zentile has been fighting on the edge for a long time, always unpredictable in exciting high-stakes battles. Kron stepped up to finally shut down the threat that claimed United: Mimik in Round 2, and King Ken in Round 3. The +7 impact proved to be the second biggest in an otherwise close fought round.

The man who eliminated the Undisputed Champion, Poasty, secured another strong win on his path to the Finals. Shinnokxz was competitive, but once again couldn't quite rise to the challenge of the Div.2 Champion. The only other title-holder still active in the draw was Scott-Howell, who lost an incredible hard fought clash with 3-time Duo Division Champion and living legend: Ratt!

It's sure to be an incredible finals series as eight completely viable contenders advance to the Mid-Year Grand Slam Quarter Finals! It's becoming one of the most difficult tournaments to predict, with a potential Tournament 81 winner in every match!
