Preview: Fight Night - October 12, 2018

Fight Night, our annual October Duel, is usually one of our more popular battles during the year.  But this month there is a crazy convergence of business, with football schedules, fall break, shampooing of hair, walking of dogs...

Wait a second.  Some of those excuses sound a bit suspect...

But fear not!  We have found twelve!  There will be an interesting mix of noob and experience Friday Night.  May the best Dueler win!

HISTORY:

2017 - Joel won with the Darth Vader in the Emperor's Throne Room
2016 - Stephen won with Emperor Palpatine in the Geonosis Arena
2015 - Curtis won with Han Solo in the Emperor's Throne Room
2014 - Grant won with Darth Vader in the Emperor's Throne Room

MEET THE DUELERS:

Our tradition for the Fight Night preview is to envision our Duelers in a Star Wars themed Halloween costume...so here we go!

Brandon - though he's played in the Singles Tournament before, this will be his first ever 12-Way Duel.  It's his first step into a bigger world...his perfect costume is Tattooine Luke Skywalker!

Coleman - this will mark Coleman's second Duel.  He didn't do too well in the first one, he died early.  So his perfect costume is...Greedo!

Grant - nobody sits higher in our league than Grant...he's the number one ranked Dueler!  And he's also second in career wins.  That kind of success makes him the perfect...Wedge Antilles!

JD - after a few months of sub-substandard finishes JD is back to better results.  His return to form makes him the perfect...Qi'ra!

Joel - nobody has more to lose at this Duel than Joel...it's his trophy we're playing for!  That personal investment in the outcome makes his perfect costume...Rose!

Jonathan B. - we're glad to see Jonathan back after a rough rookie Duel.  He'll need to ramp up his game.  That makes his perfect costume...Dagobah Luke Skywalker!

Kaleb - he finished lower than he would like to have at the Fall Brawl, but Kaleb still has never fallen flat on his face at any Duel.  That kind of craftiness makes him the perfect...Lando!

Katie - she played with us back at the CL Training Duel and now, just weeks before she's getting married, she's ready to let off some steam.  Her perfect costume is...Darth Maul!

Matt B. - rookie Dueler alert!  The word on the street is that Matt, new to our league, is an expert at martial arts weapons.  That makes his costume perfect for...Chirrut!

Owen - like Jonathan, he too got chewed up at his first Duel (The Fall Brawl).  He needs to put himself back together.  Thus, his perfect costume is...Cloud City C-3PO!

Riley - the youngest Dueler in league history will be marking her third Duel.  Her short stature but ferocious attitude makes her costume...an Ewok!

Rob - the oldest Dueler in league history had a nice third place finish at the Fall Brawl but others pointed out he could have done better.  That makes his perfect costume...Dexter Jettster!  (wait, what...?)

TREY REY PREDICTS THE WINNER:

Big Rey:  TRICK OR TREAT!?

Lego Rey:  sMeLL ouR FeEt!

Lil' Rey:  we believe obi-wan is the one to beat

There you have it folks, Trey Rey thinks Obi-Wan Kenobi will win this year's Fight Night  Of course, they're 0 for 3 in their predictions, so don't put all of your candy in that bucket.  Zing!  See what I did there!?!?

Feel free to come out Friday at 8PM to see the bloodbath!
