There was a total of 25 matches that took place in the Final Lobby. Unfortauntely, I forgot to "Save" the replays of two of the 25 matches (two of the first 3 matches), so I had to just place an image detailing the results of those two missing matches. Outside of a few problems with Elfonki28 in the Final Lobby dropping out, the event went as smooth as expected. It was another long session of intense figting online, but fun was had by all. If you don't count the domination of Zti and Von at times, that is...
This was one of my biggest video projects I've ever done, so I hope everyone enjoys it. I'm still working on the video settings of my new Dazzle 100 as the clarity isn't the greatest. This may be my favorite live event of the league as it allows everyone to get involved and mixes up all the members of the league. Everyone has an equal chance to win the event while at the same time everyone has equal chance of stopping someone else from winning the event. The 'king-of-the-mountain' scenerio is a great challenge for anyone who attempts to get their 7 wins over different members, fighters, strategies, and matchups. Thus, the meaning of name of the event, War Games. Thanx again to ZTI890 and WELCOME2TROYLAND for streaming the event on the interent - the first time a SFCCL event was streamed! We hope to do this for the other events to come, but event circumstances will limit how much is viewed.
XX_VON_XX quickly took control of the Final Lobby and nearly rattled off 7 straight wins. The streak came to an end in a great, classic match between himself and ZTI890, which came down to the very last bits of energy in the deciding 3rd round. That big win for ZTI led to him to his own streak of nearly 7 wins. VON would get his revenge, however, when his turn came up again. VON won the rematch, which was his 7th victory, securing 1st Place, and stopping ZTI's streak of 6 wins and as a result, forced ZTI to the end of the line. Following that match, it was a free-for-all as nearly everyone won a match all the while trying to hold off ZTI from getting that final 7th win. ZTI got it in the end, but not after losing to a streaking ND2130. ELFONKI also went on a winning streak. Full detail and transcript of the Final Lobby matches are below.
