Eight all-star competitors advanced to the Quarter Final round of the 2017 Summer Grand Slam! With two Hall of Famers and six former Undisputed Champions competing, expectations were at an all-time high! It turned out experience-plus was the key to an edge in the close fought Quarters!
Genku found himself vulnerable in the opening QF, drained after claiming an impressive victory over Ratt in the Fourth Round! United: Artanix came highly motivated, seizing the opportunity to advance his solo credentials. He came close to upsetting Genku in Round 2 of this year's Grand Prix Warm-Up. The United fighter had to settle for almost - coming tantalizingly close to scoring the upset win. After such a hard fought battle, Genku enters the Semi Final with a major question mark.
United: Mimik found momentum from his defeat of Violent`J in the last round, flexing his muscles against a less experienced rival in "Red Nightmare" LordSkarlet. Mimik was never known for his tournament prowess, but showed phenomenal form in his Quarters clash. LordSkarlet had a hard win against "Champion of Champions" Poasty coming into the Quarters, but Mimik's performance was at a high level! The +3 impact could elevate Mimik to a dark horse contender!
As the last remaining top seed; United: Mime had the confidence of having made the Semi Finals of this year's Grand Slam Open, Grand Prix Warm-Up, and Mid-Year Grand Slam! He seemed destined to make it four from four, but the reigning KFL Champion hadn't counted on DECEPTION! The Hitman devastated TonyTheTiger in Round 4, executing a dominant MAX Damage win! Momentum was on clearly on DECEPTION's side, but the clash would turn out to be the big fight of Day 6! Mime did his best to dig his heels in, but The Hitman has been eager to fight his way back to the top of the league! It was a competitive contest, but in the end, Mime's Semi Final streak came to an end.
Like DECEPTION; United: The_Purple_Bunny has been solely motivated by the desire to win the Undisputed Championship once again. He wants to win his 7th title reign in 2017! It was enough to spur him past All-Star Summer nemesis Marz, but there was nothing left in the tank when he came up against one of the most revered Hall of Famers in history: Kron! Kron had his own struggles, edging past VenoMark in a hard fought Fourth Round clash. He wasn't in great shape heading into the QF, but old enemy TPB had absolutely nothing left. The Kron Line capitalized, consuming TPB in a bitter defeat!
The final day of competition will decide the winner of the 2017 Summer Grand Slam! For "The Hitman" DECEPTION and Kron it will be an Ultimate Grand Prix rematch that could decide the ultimate winner! In the other half: Genku and United: Mimik will battle for the recognition they've so long been denied! Two Hall of Famers, four former champions - one Grand Slam Tournament winner! It all begins tomorrow with the Semi Finals!
