Tournament 80: 2017 Fighter For Europe

The 2017 Fighter For Europe tournament was a different animal twelve months on from last year's gathering! Casualties of combat meant fighters from Great Britain were granted more representation through four fighters, including controversial duo: "Brexiteers" Liam & nif. The field was as eager to eliminate them, as they were the ever-dangerous #1 & #2 seeds: Nephrite and Chromatose!

Fears for a British takeover appeared founded in the First Round when Dez-Burnett inflicted a +4 impact to eliminate Cukier, while Liam and Leroy advanced with solid wins. Defending 2016 Champion and #1 seed Nephrite succeeded in at least taking out nif in an elementary opening fight.

Liam avenged the exit of his Brexiteer partner in the harshest possible way, executing a completely unexpected MAX Damage impact against Nephrite! #2 seed Chromatose immediately replaced his rival as favourite to win, surviving a close fought match with Dez-Burnett! Liam was the lone British hope to graduate the Second Round, with Leroy falling to a Portuguese Pegasus fighting from the edge! One-man Greek Revolution maxilos was also a surprise elimination!

The Semi Finals made it clear Liam was fast becoming the fighter to be concerned with! Zentile had exhausted his powers with an earlier +6 impact in the First Round, succumbing to a close fought win against the Brexiteer. #2 seed Chromatose made a more convincing case when he edged out Sgtf in a rematch of their hard hitting 2016 Semi Final!

For the first time since the inaugural Fighter For Europe tournament: A Briton would fight for the prestigious honor of being European champion. A bitter irony given Liam's status as a Brexiteer, and the wars he fought against The European Union in 2016! Chromatose would be the continent's sword against such an insult to their honor, honed in Hungarian wins over the 2014 & 2015 European tours.

In fact, it was the #2 seeds' fifth consecutive year appearing in the final fight! The only European fighter to defeat him in past contests was Nephrite! This fact remained true as Chromatose gathered himself for a frontal assault against Brexiteer Liam! He was unrelenting in his attack, leaving nothing to doubt in a solid victory that claimed 2p from the upstart Briton!

As per tradition, Chromatose will now challenge the Division 2 Champion during tomorrow's Pre-Show 93: Reconnecting...! Awaiting the chosen Fighter For Europe will be Canadian Spring Classic winner Poasty, whose return to the title has created expectations for a major reign! Will the three-time Fighter for Europe add Championship gold to his prestigious tournament crown? Be here tomorrow - Sunday, May 14th for all the results from Pre-Show 93!

Tournament 67: 2016 Fighter For Europe

The complexion of the tournament was completely different as two warriors from some domains filled out a full bracket. Cukier had the distinction of not only participating as the second Polish selection for 2016, but also making his competitive league debut! Experience - a big issue, as European history seemed destined to rule the present!

From minute go, 2-time Fighter For Europe Chromatose was the firm favourite. His +3 domination of maxilos a warning shot that echoed his tournament victories in 2015 & 2014! The only fighter to match Chromatose for ferocity in the First Round was proXade - the other half of The Greek Crisis!

Round 2 saw Chromatose again exact a +3 devastation upon his opponent, this time against Bulgarian Asesino! He was outdone by forgotten 2013 Fighter For Europe Nephrite with an upstart +4 impact against the Netherlands' EasterBunny. A louder declaration that proXade's second win, but given his opponent was recently returned Invasion figurehead ShawnMichaels - no more significant!

In the Semi Finals, Nephrite ensured proXade would not effect a Greek Crisis through the whole tournament. Their battle went down to the wire, but proXade simply lacked the necessary experience to overcome the Croatian. Experience was evident in Chromatose's third consecutive +3 impact - Sgtf of Estonia the unlucky victim.

The fairy tale put aside, it was to be a final contest between former champions - European dominators of the field! For Nephrite, the past year had seen a slide into obscurity - a faded shooting star. For two-time champion Chromatose, it was about defending his title and again earning the right to be Division 2 Champion. His years of dominance gave him everything he needed, but Chromatose's expertise was wasted against the raw dynamism of the Croatian! Nephrite sprung to life like he hadn't the whole tournament! He unleashed the fullest of his strength, overwhelming Chromatose in a single moment of brilliance!

With his victory, Nephrite goes down in history as the greatest European fighter of 2016. More importantly, he faces the test and privilege of challenging for the Division 2 Championship! The title bout happens tomorrow - May 15th! There waits an opponent unlike any Nephrite faced from Europe! Ordinarily The Great Genku would be fighting for the Undisputed Championship! Instead, the Grand Path to Greatness has taken him down this road - to be the ultimate test for the Division 2 fighters! Recovery time will be minimal. The glory of victory - great! It all goes down tomorrow at Pre-Show 79: Gold = Power!
