Stage 13: Fists Elimination

[Random McChanse]

This past Thursday marked the culminating event of the last Fists week in the Tour, with each duelist facing a gauntlet of their peers, where one loss meant elimination!

The tournament's participants were Bran Bale, Koyliak VanDuran, Tasslehofl Momus, Tera Starfare, Vincent Smith, Kheldar Drasinia, Amaltea, Matt Simon, Maetel the Cat, Cory Havoick, Cassius Maximus, and Wyheree. All those participating were guaranteed at least 2 Fists Point.

The first round proceeded as follows:

Bran .def. Koyliak, 5-3
Tass def. Tera , 5-2
Vincent def. Kheldar, 5-3
Amal def. Matt, 5-4
Maetel def. Cory, 5-2
Cassius def. Maetel, 5-4

Thus, Bran, Tass, Vincent, Amal, Maetel, and Cassius advanced on to Round 2, which guaranteed them at least 3 Fists Points and 1 Tour Point.

Round 2:

Bran .def. Amal, 5-1
Tass .def. Vincent, 5-2
Cassius .def. Wyheree, 5-1

Cassius, Bran, and Tass advanced on to the finals, and Cassius got the bye because he was ranked highest in the Green Jersey standings. Therefore, Tass and Bran dueled to see who would join Cassius in the finals:

Bran .def. Tass 5-2

Thus Cassius and Bran were guaranteed 4 Fists Points and 2 Tour Points, but now were fighting to be the winner of a Tour Stage!

Cassius Maximus vs. Bran Bale

Sweep/Flip 1-0
Fancy Dodge/Sweep 1-1
Sweep/Chop, 2-1
Jab/SnapK, 2-2
Fancy Dodge/SnapK, 3-2
Jab/Duck, 3+-2
JK/Leap, 3-3
Jab/Sweep, 4-3
SnapK/Flip, 4-4
Jab/Jab, 5-5
SnapK/JumpK 5-6

And so Bran Bale defeated Cassius Maximus in an 6-5 nailbiter to take home the stage win for Cobra! He gets 5 Fists Points for his effort, along with 3 Tour Points and 1000 Nobles!
