Monday Night Games: VS United (May 8, 2017)

In special anticipation of the annual Fighter For Europe tournament: this edition of the Monday Night Games played host to a team of European fighters facing the challenge of VS United!

Competing for Team Europe would be: NephriteChromatose, Asesino, Red_Spaniard & Cukier! Collectively they represent the continent of Europe, but on Saturday, May 13th they will compete in a single elimination bracket for their respective nations! Only one fighter will win the prestigious event to be crowned 2017 Fighter For Europe, and go on to a Division 2 Championship match at Sunday's Pre-Show 93: Reconnecting...!

This time The United are represented by: Mimik, The_Purple_Bunny, Artanix, Murdoink & zelse! This formidable line-up accounts for: 9x Undisputed Championships, 8x Duo Division Championships, 5x KFL Championships, and 5x Division 2 Championships! Supreme skill!

Cukier took the first challenge, taking on The United's protégé fighter: zelse! The two relatively inexperienced combatants proved evenly matched in the opening bout. The polished Polish fighter managed to poleaxe his way to a narrow victory that started Team Europe off with 3 points!

Red_Spaniard took on intercontinental rival Murdoink in the second clash. They raised the standard of competition to the next level, but Murdoink clearly had an extra gear. He shut down the Spaniard in a solid win, to even the score at 3 points all!

Bulgarian wildcard Asesino found himself stuck in a mismatch against Artanix, but that didn't seem to bother him. The former KFL fighter has been known to cause an upset with his unpredictable mindset, but Artanix seemed to have him pretty well scoped. A comprehensive win ended in a +9 impact to put The United in the lead with an 11 point addition!

The pressure was on for 2-time Fighter For Europe and former Division 2 Champion: Chromatose! Of all the fighters on Team Europe, he had spent the most years in The Great Arena. That would all go down the drain, however, as he faced a motivated defense from The_Purple_Bunny! Frustrated by his defeat in the inaugural VS United; TPB had a lot to prove - executing a destructive +18 impact to redeem himself! The hard hitting win put The United way in front with another 20 points!

With victory for Team Europe looking very unlikely; defending 2016 Fighter For Europe Nephrite stepped into the arena with nothing to lose. Mimik was the only member of The United still untested in the Versus format, but the Hall of Famer still entered overwhelming favourite. It therefore came as a huge shock when Nephrite rushed his opponent, executing a hard and sudden kayo!

The upset victory for Nephrite couldn't turn the tide for his team, but sent an ominous message to the field for this weekend's Fighter For Europe Tournament! The result was shocking enough for his teammates to vote Mimik Most Not Good United in his debuting week! Never the less, The United remain undefeated with a final winning score of 39 points against Team Europe's 6 points!

Team Europe may have lost, but they're the first team to score 2 wins against The United! No doubt Nephrite and Cukier will be two of the contenders to watch this Saturday when 16 combatants duke it out to be the 2017 Fighter For Europe! Be here for all the results - May 13th!
