The #1 seed, defending Grand Slam Launch winner, and 2016 Master's Series winner ElJobber showed the first signs of cracking against the challenge of Alliance fighter: Statix! They met in a competitive Semi Final match last year, and it was another hotly contested battle to begin the 2017 Quarter Final! ElJobber held his ground to advance to the Semi Final, but his grip may be slipping!
The rest of the field enjoyed comprehensive wins in their matches. Poasty looked fresh after coming off a bye walkthrough in Round 4. Shen_DuHBK's upset victory over Genku had clearly stretched him to the limit of his powers. He capitulated as Poasty blasted through to the Semi Final -- a career high for a fighter who faced extreme adversity in 2016 and almost ended his career because of it!
Throughout Tournament 77 one name has been rapidly emerging as a favourite to win! Damo took to calling himself "The Chosen One" early last year, and after sitting out December due to a disastrous loss at Supercard 86: Survivor Sequence, he's finally living up to the moniker! In a match expected to be the hardest fight of the round, The_Purple_Bunny found himself completely overwhelmed by the fighter he swindled just twelve months ago!
After taking out CaTigeReptile in the Fourth Round, proXade emerged as a dangerous wildcard in the Quarter Finals! Freshly minted KFL Champion United: Mime made sure that incongruity was put to an end with the extreme prejudice! The +7 impact of his winning fight left proXade having a Greek Crisis unto himself! A warning shot ahead of a hotly anticipated Semi Final!

Tournament 77: Grand Slam Launch - Round 4
The complexion of the 2017 Grand Slam Launch completely changed in Round 4 as the favourites fell in a day of eliminations! ElJobber was the only seed to endure, overwhelming former Division 2 Champion Benjamin in a comfortable win.
Emerging tournament favourite Damo showed exactly why he calls himself "The Chosen One", warring with #3 seed "American Nightmare" LordSkarlet to secure a well earned win! Damo walks into a compelling Quarter Final showdown with The_Purple_Bunny!
It was a far more shocking turn when Genku's Invasion ally Shen_DuHBK earned a solid +3 impact against the controversial "Contender Elect". It was a Greek Crisis of epic proportions when #2 seed CaTigeReptile ran out of hope against proXade in the biggest upset of Tournament 77! She beat The Invasion and The Barons, but it seemed the Grand Slam Launch was one fight too many for The Guardian!
CTR's shocking exit means KFL Champion Mime will ride his dominant win over nightbreed_16 into the Quarter Finals. Ordinarily he'd be an overwhelming favourite against the Duo Division fighter, but proXade has emerged as a completely unpredictable wildcard!

Tournament 77: Grand Slam Launch - Round 3
"The Chosen One" Damo made a compelling case for himself as an emerging favourite in Round 3, advancing from his Grand Slam Launch match with "The Hitman" DECEPTION with surprising ease! The_Purple_Bunny breezed through the Third Round as well, executing a second MAX Damage win over a hopelessly out of his depth KurtAngle!
Top two seeds ElJobber and "The Guardian" CaTigeReptile were comfortable in their Third Round victories. Only "American Nightmare" LordSkarlet found himself stretched, under performing in his clash with Canadian Olympic stand-out Jerrod! LordSkarlet will need to compose himself if he's going to resist the momentum being built by Damo!
KFL Champion Mime scored payback against his Supercard 87: End Of Days opponent: "The Predator" TonyTheTiger! Their rivalry goes all the way back to last year's All-Star Summer Showdown, where TTT got the better of The United fighter. The fated grudge match swung decisively back in favour of the KFL champ - a comprehensive win!
In the biggest twist of the Third Round: Shinnokxz and unlikely Round 3 competitor Ghrimm fought to an inconclusive draw! The unexpected result means Poasty will be gifted a bye in the next round, walking into the Quarter Finals thanks to his convincing win over MKMaster!

Tournament 77: Grand Slam Launch - Round 2
The favourites remained strong as Tournament 77 reached the Second Round. #1 seed ElJobber couldn't quite live up to his old "Mr. MAX Damage" mantle, decimating Division 2 Champion Murdoink at a mere +26p rating. #2 seed "The Guardian" CaTigeReptile found herself fighting for her survival in a surprisingly hard fought match against PaganFreak! The MAX hit came from an unlikely source - MKMaster delivering a total annihilation to Rhyno!
KFL Champion Mime kept The United's hopes alive with a solid win over Loopster. He delivered the first casualty of the Grand Slam Launch on Day 2. On Day 3, it was TonyTheTiger who added to the Injured List - Unknown265's battles with Team Xtreme and The Invasion finally catching up with him. The result sets up an intriguing clash of rivals for Round 3, where Mime and The Predator will continue their rivalry in a Supercard 87 rematch!
The biggest match of the Third Round is expected to be "The Chosen One" Damo versus "The Hitman" DECEPTION! Damo won the Grand Slam Launch in 2013, and will be eager to get his year off to the right start after a high profile loss at Supercard 86 derailed his run. DECEPTION's crushing win over McDaniel sets him up as one of the major favourites to win Tournament 77, meaning this bout could have major implications for the Finals!
Invasion seeds Genku and "American Nightmare" LordSkarlet also remaining strong prospects, but can expect to face two dangermen of the Third Round. Chromatose may have been an ally in The Invasion, but will make no bones about flexing his sometimes impressive muscle! Jerrod has been a stand-out since the 2016 Summer Olympic Games, thriving under competition pressure!

Tournament 77: Grand Slam Launch - Day 2
Day 2 confirmed another Grand Slam Launch without any Hall of Fame participants, as well as the rise of two top seeds: "The Guardian" CaTigeReptile and "American Nightmare" LordSkarlet both earning convincing, hard hitting wins!
No impact player was better on Day 2 than The_Purple_Bunny. He got his run into 2017 back on track with a MAX Damage decimation of Grayback! 2016 Summer Olympic stand-out Jerrod upped the stakes for the rest of the field with a noteworthy blow to Zengeance.
"The Chosen One" Damo found himself with a tough draw, but lived up to his moniker by beating reigning Duo Division Champion Shoe. The loss completed the tandem champs' removal, but it wasn't all bad news for The United. Newly crowned KFL Champion Mime earned a convincing victory over Corrupt MINION, delivering the first casualty of the year in the process! The shock must've been too much for Corrupt hydraslash to take -- he was a shock exit at the hands of WilliamRegal!
"The Hitman" DECEPTION and "The Predator" TonyTheTiger bounced out of a tough New Year's Resolution to pick up expected wins in the First Round. They should be among the favourites moving forward to Round 2. Battered Invasion leader DaemonX also returned to competition with a surprise victory over triumphant Alliance leader AlbertBeefcake!

Tournament 77: Grand Slam Launch - Day 1
With no time to waste for announcements, the 2017 Grand Slam Launch is under way!
This year's event features the customary opening round of a randomly drawn 128-fighter bracket. Day 1 of competition reveals a four seed selection with 2016 Grand Slam Launch and 2016 Master's Series winner ElJobber positioned in the number one spot. He proved exactly why he's in that place, beginning the year with a devastating MAX Damage domination of vaiisekk! Day 2 will introduce #2 seed "The Guardian" CaTigeReptile and #3 "American Nightmare" LordSkarlet!
At the bottom of the Day 1 half, "Invasion Contender Elect" Genku is seeded #4, having suffered key losses at both Supercard 87 and The Master's Series Heats. The random draw was unforgiving, pitting him against VenoMark in one of the matches of Round 1! Genku was able to rise to the challenge, beating out VenoMark in an impressive win!
Division 2 Champion Murdoink had a tough time beating G0LD in one of the stand-out clashes of Day 1. His arch-rival Poasty impressed, overcoming recent trials with an upset victory against one-half of the Duo Division Champions and Master's Series Runner-Up: Artanix! It was a hard day at the office for Baraka_MK, as well. He met Jammer2Omega in a clash of Duo Division stars, earning a hard fought victory! Statix picked up a solid win in his First Round fight with Alliance teammate The_Hurricane. A hard hitting, but fair contest filled with respect.
Despite some prominent exits, there'll be plenty of names to watch in Round 2: Benjamin, Porygonix, Jason_Voorhees, SubScorpTile, Zentile, Scott-Howell, Chromatose and Shen_DuHBK all advancing. Along with big names already mentioned, Banging, Sekktor, UlcaTron, DemoniaX, and Politics suffered early elimination.

Special: New Year's Resolution (2017)
The war is over! A new year arrives pregnant with promise! Per Great Arena tradition, The Union of The Human League give thanks and accept ceremonial combat with The Barons of Lord Mislukking. It is a tradition of tribute, acknowledging the balance of peace. After the war that ravaged the league at the end of 2016, it takes on new meaning for the survivors. This is New Year's Resolution 2017!
11. The Union defeated The Barons of Mislukking in a Survival Sequence! [5-4]
- 1. Famine (Barons) elim. TonyTheTiger (Union)
- 2. Famine (Barons) elim. The_Hurricane (Union)
- 3. AlbertBeefcake (Union) elim. Famine (Barons)
- 4. AlbertBeefcake (Union) elim. Pestilence (Barons)
- 5. Conquest (Barons) elim. AlbertBeefcake (Union)
- 6. DECEPTION (Union) elim. Conquest (Barons)
- 7. DECEPTION (Union) elim. War (Barons)
- 8. Death (Barons) elim. DECEPTION (Union)
- 9. CaTigeReptile (Union) elim. Death (Barons)
Survivor: "The Guardian" CaTigeReptile
Rarely are The Barons of Mislukking in danger of losing the final fight of New Year's Resolution, especially when they win the majority of their individual matches. This year, the story was different. Inspired by CaTigeReptile's victory over Death, The Union's five chosen representatives rallied to push back against The Barons. It took three fighters to put down Famine, but Pestilence went out easy. The Baron of Conquest was too much for a battle fatigued AlbertBeefcake, but The Hitman's aim was true! War's respect for DECEPTION was rewarded with a worthy challenge! Death ended his heroics, but for a second time in the same night -- could not curtail "The Guardian"! The New Year's Resolution of CaTigeReptile would ensure 2017 would be built on a foundation of hope!
10. "The Guardian" CaTigeReptile defeated The Baron of Death in a solid win! [+1]
When The Invasion began their precision strikes on vulnerable enemy targets, "The Guardian" CaTigeReptile was one of the few fighters to stand up and notice. Putting aside her disagreements with other fighters, she reevaluated the threat The Invasion posed, recognizing their plans for hostile takeover. She led the Koalition of willing fighters to prevent more deaths, and in doing so, helped seal the fate of The Invasion! Her message of hope gleamed bright like a new sun rising over The Great Arena in 2017! The Baron of Death could only recoil. The Guardian once again inspiring her fellow fighters to keep their resolve in the face over overwhelming odds!
9. The Baron of War defeated "The Hitman" DECEPTION in a close fought match. [+2]
When CTR put out a call for likeminded fighters to aid in her fight against The Invasion, 'The Hitman" DECEPTION was one of the most powerful allies to respond. His determination to fight cemented his status as a 2-time Undisputed Champion in 2016. That same grit helped The Koalition win the violent war that broke out against The Invasion. For Ares Menschlich, The Hitman became a favoured warrior. He delighted at the chance to test DECEPTION's resolve, excited by his status as one of The Union's bright new stars. War got the better of DECEPTION this time, but only just.
8. The Baron of Conquest defeated AlbertBeefcake in a complete annihilation! [+MAX]
The mission statement bonding AlbertBeefcake and his Alliance fighters was a simple one: Stop the conquest of The Great Arena! They faced considerable adversity throughout the last twelve months, but always remained dedicated to ending The Invasion and their plans for takeover. At Supercard 87: End Of Days the momentum swung in AlbertBeefcake's favour, but against Alexander Conquette there was no margin for error. Drawing strength from every one of Albo's victories, The Baron of Conquest turned success into failure. A demoralizing MAX Damage win in favour of The Barons.
7. The Baron of Pestilence defeated The_Hurricane in a comprehensive win. [+2]
In 2016, The Great Arena was stricken with a plague known as The Invasion. This insidious force grew as their doctrine was spread amongst fighters old and new. The_Hurricane and his Alliance felt the sting of this infection on February 12, when trusted friends became bitter enemies. The Baron of Pestilence knows all about infecting fighters. The_Hurricane may have helped take The Invasion down, but even his powers couldn't resist the viral assault of Praga Conquette.
6. The Baron of Famine defeated "The Predator" TonyTheTiger in convincing fashion. [+1]
During the 2016 Royal Roulette match, "The Predator" TonyTheTiger felt the pangs of famine as he was denied his shot at title glory. For the rest of the year he vowed to take his pound of flesh from the conspiring United, driven by the hunting instinct of a predator! This single minded pursuit offered successes along the way, but also cost him valuable allies, too. Personifying Famine, Bez Busshitsu humbled TonyTheTiger with an unquestionably one-sided fight. A bad start for The Union.
5. United: Mime defeated Banging (c) in a comprehensive victory! [+7] [KFL Championship]
Two of the most shocking moments of the previous year occurred in December: The first was the dethroning of Team Xtreme at Supercard 87:End Of Days, defeated by Shoe & Artanix after 420 days as Duo Division Champions. The second was The United's arrival on the final Monday Night Invasion, leading to the defeat of The Invasion and the event's apparent cancellation! Mime was part of the trio who ended The Invasion's reign of terror - and at New Year's Resolution he completed the humiliation by ending Banging's reign as KFL Champion! The decisive victory now means The United hold all four major championship titles! Will 2017 be the year of The United?
4. Jammer2Omega & Porygonix defeated Mark & Leroy in a solid victory. [+1]
2016 saw the emergence of several exciting new prospects in the Duo Division. Few showed as much promise as Jammer2Omega & Porygonix, their chemistry as a newly formed combination fuelling their rise to the top of the tandem ranks. At Supercard 87: End Of Days they faced one of the other veteran teams finding new life in 2016, besting Mark & Leroy again, individually, to qualify for the year-end Master's Series. Mark & Leroy had the right idea looking to settle the score on January 1st, but suffered a more decisive defeat for their troubles. 2017 could be J2O & Porygonix's year!
3. "Brexiteers" Liam & nif defeated "The Greek Crisis" maxilos & proXade [+1]
Few teams have carried a chip on their shoulder quite like The Greek Crisis. As one of the surprise breakouts of 2016, they developed a special dislike for The British Exit enforcers: Liam & nif! The natural chemistry between the two teams has seen them go back and forth throughout the past year. Their meeting on January 1st, a feather in the shared cap of their Duo Division careers. It seems as if Liam & nif may be pulling away from their constant rivals, giving them a new goal to strive for in 2017, as we say good bye to the apparently thwarted British Exit.
2. "The Invasion" Jason_Voorhees & edge defeated Politics & Menas [+1]
In one of the closest matches during Heats for the 2016 Master's Series; Politics was just barely defeated by Jason_Voorhees. It was the opening match that started a winless streak for Politics, who was out of his element and out on his feet! If it had gone the other way, the roles may have been reversed! Rather than go it alone, Politics took the rematch to the Duo Division, having vowed to go all the way with Menas after their reunion at Tower of Power XVII. A vow that will carry on in 2017 as they bounce back from a shared loss at New Year's Resolution.
1. Sekktor & legoslayer10 defeated "The Fallen" Corrupt hydraslash & Corrupt MINION [+1]
For more than a year, hydraslash & MINION have been wearing a veil of Corruption that colours their every action. They are the last of "Lucifer's Ladder" - now working for LordSkarlet and The Invasion. Former friend and ally Sekktor allowed himself to become distracted from his friend's plight in 2016, but vowed to redouble his efforts at Supercard 87: End Of Days. This New Year's Resolution fuelled he and legoslayer10 in their mission to start the year off right. They secured a strong win, but the quest to redeem hydraslash's soul must continue into 2017.
11. The Union defeated The Barons of Mislukking in a Survival Sequence! [5-4]
- 1. Famine (Barons) elim. TonyTheTiger (Union)
- 2. Famine (Barons) elim. The_Hurricane (Union)
- 3. AlbertBeefcake (Union) elim. Famine (Barons)

- 5. Conquest (Barons) elim. AlbertBeefcake (Union)
- 6. DECEPTION (Union) elim. Conquest (Barons)
