“There once was a man named El who threw punches straight outta hell.. Chucky was game and stood on his name, But the ringing sound was his own bell.” - Charles Lee Ray, amateur poet I fought my fight and can’t complain about my performance. Hats off to Camacho, the rumours are true about his power. One punch from El President can change the course of the fight and that’s what happened here tonight.

Apologies for the lack of coverage for Round 2 lads. Work and family took center stage and I’m sure you can all relate. LEVEL SUMMIT SERIES - KT Level Round 3 Highlights Tokyo, Japan FOTN - Hung Young Wang vs Summit Panda Wang has been a swinging dick in this Series so far but Panda was jacked for this match up and wasn’t prepared to go down without a fight. Wang brought volume striking to his opponent, who handled the pressure very well. Panda couldn’t wait to get his hands on Wang and dominated in the clinch and worked well in the pocket, beating Wang to the floor. The second knockdown was a glimpse at the imminent finish. Wang was hard as fuck until he went limp. KOTN - Tinashe Chukwuma Chukwuma found himself in an even match up, so he decided to hit his opponent harder. HONOURABLE MENTIONS Young Blood wins! That’s it…that’s the headline. Macho Man continues to show flashes of “meh” but keeps winning. You know when your nose is really dry and you develop a whistle when you breathe? That will now forever be knwn as a Lysander. Robillard polishes off an early tournament menace in Frank Brown. Nunez piles onto Rockmuller’s hopes and dreams

@Rei are we going to continue with this?

I guess my question would be, is it really ruining anyone’s experience at this point? Another question would be, where does the work need to stop? I’ve seen tons that look like a game av is just pasted on the face of an actual fighter pic while the body portion remains unaltered from the base image. Looks weird. We all know there have been massive discrepancies in what is considered acceptable and what is flagged for a rework, so eventually creativity just took over. There are some pretty wacky avatars out there and some really cool ones too. I think they’re all mostly fun to look at and that’s where it stops for me personally.

That is certainly one option that has been pointed out. Here’s the problem: - garnering enough interest to have managers create and hold can be difficult. - what is the magic number of alternates? - what if those alternates change their minds and drop out also? I’m basing this suggestion on my own experience running my first tournament. I’ve also participated in a few that have died a slow death for the same reason, so this is not necessarily an isolated event.

Good to know. Thank you

Gentlemen, we have a full card.

All good man, perfectly valid point to add. @jjsquirrel agreed as well.

Thanks for chiming in Mac. It’s reassuring.

Tournaments are a way to increase activity in this game. We’ve all experienced a tournament go off the rails when either the Organizer or Participants go inactive. Not sure how to handle it if the Org Owner disappears, but in the case of participants, are we able to add a failsafe where there is an auto-accept for fights? Pros: - fighters/managers who are still invested in the experience continue to enjoy themselves. Cons: - none that I can think of.

Still holding out hope that we’ll see @Rei log onto the game this week, but we’re facing the very real possibility that Jack Brittle will not accept his fight with Rogelio Nunez next Sunday. I hope all is well with his manager irl but if he fails to show, he will be cut from the tournament full stop. Obviously this fucks the format that we have in place, but I think the only “fair” move forward would be to assign his spot as a loss holder (for continuity of the fight brackets) and award a forfeit win to his eventual opponents. If anyone has suggestions that we can all agree on, I’m happy to hear them in case this becomes an eventuality. Thoughts?

Going to cut some dead weight, sign me up.

Gentlemen, thank you for your patience. A proper Org owner would have done a preview and some hype-building leading up to this card, but those who know me, also know I’m a bit of a twat. Those who don’t know me so well, should temper their expectations. LEVEL SUMMIT SERIES - KT Level Round 1 Highlights Tokyo, Japan FOTN - Kenji Matsuda vs Lysander Birdwhistle Oh how the mighty have fallen. After running roughshod through the grappling rounds, Lysander Birdwhistle had a blanket thrown on him and lost the leg to my own surprise. That is neither here nor there now, since people are beginning to punch and kick one another. Kenji Matsuda got the first crack at him in the KT rounds, and for all intents and purposes, ate his lunch. Akira Shigeru sent his man into this fight to deal some damage and that is exactly what he did. A patient Matsuda threw heavy counter shots to batter, cut and knock Birdwhistle down in the first frame. If there were any doubt about Lysander’s heart, that should be gone now as he stayed in fighting form, regaining his legs and bearing down for battle. This was a bit of a back and forth affair but Round 1 damage, coupled with the clinch battle in Round 2 had Matsuda flying high as he finally put Birdwhistle on queer street at the start of the 3rd. KOTN - Ted Kona Much like my love life, Ted Kona gets in and out in 31 seconds. HONOURABLE MENTIONS Tinashe Chukwuma takes out another standout from the grappling rounds in Jone White. Immediately talks shit to Summit Panda while slapping himself in the belly. Macho Man remains a handsome fella. I’m not even mad at Young Blood, just disappointed. Wang isn’t even trying to hide it; he’s here to fuck people. Panda and Robillard start hot (I tried to warn you about Cope T) and Frank Brown takes home a decision win. Macka Briggs fights a leprechaun on St. Paddy’s Day. What an asshole.

Hey guys, busy weekend. Highlight write up coming asap. Fight offers out for the next round. Results on pg 5 for whatever that is worth.

Bought and paid. Thanks bro

I’ve won 2(?) my entire time here, so you’re on a roll man. I’ve won 2 planes that I never use also.
