Preview: Duel of the Fates - April 9, 2022

 


How are you Quick-Draw McGraws doing???  Listen, let's just cut to the chase.  This Duel is HUGE in league history.  First time playing the 3-D Arvala 7 board live and in person?  CHECK.  First time playing an all-shooters Duel?  CHECK.  First time playing with Fennec Shand and Cad Bane?  CHECKMATE!  

PEW PEW PEW!!!

And don't forget...the whole time we're battling tonight, "Duel of the Fates" will be playing on repeat to drive everyone over the edge of sanity!  PEW PEW PEW!!!

MEET THE DUELERS:

Corona - this is the Duel...Corona is turning pro!  He'd love to mark the occasion with a top-3 finish, his career best is 4th at the Fall Brawl.

Evan - after a nice run of Duels, Evan had the ignominious honor of winning the Golden Jar Jar at last month's Imperial March.  He's looking to rebound at Duel of the Fates.

Grant H. - you would be hard pressed to find a Dueler in league history who has suffered worse luck than Grant. The walking Wookiepedia is due for a top five finish...or higher!

Ian - he's hoping to turn his luck around at Duel of the Fates.  Over his last four matches, he's bowed out in 9th twice and 7th twice.  You have to believe Ian's due for a monster finish.

JD M. - like a moth to the flame, sweet JD can't resist the siren call of Duel of the Fates!  JD hopes to improve on his 11th place ouster at the Imperial March last month.

Juan - some of you need to take a tip from Juan, because I don't think you're serious enough about winning.  Juan loaded up on YODA SODA yesterday so the Force is coursing through his veins!

Karson - he's never finished in the top three of a Duel before, and he'd love to make that happen tonight. Don't sleep on his gun play!  He has a lot of shooter experience.

Kat - five top-five finishes in her last two Duels.  Two wins in that time, including The Imperial March with an iconic Maul takedown of Qui-Gon in the Reactor Room.  She's infuego!!!

Kevin - Kevin bounced back in a big way after two last place finishes.  He made a great 2nd place stand at The Imperial March.  He's back, baby!

Miguel - he's Dueling while on back-up and he needs to be back in the building by midnight.  If you don't think Miguel is looking to bring the chaos to Duel of the Fates you don't know Miguel!

Riley - if it was up to her, she'd be the first Dueler to play with Cad Bane tonight. Watch out for the tiny titan of terror, she has two third place finishes her last two times as a shooter.

Rob - If there's one blemish on the Godfather's Dueling record (besides the Single's Tournament, grrr...), it's that he's never won Duel of the Fates, the lone trophy he's never taken home.

MONOPOLY PREDICTS THE WINNER:

Here we go again, the most pointless portion of the preview...Monopoly tries to predict the winner. Monopoly...I have to say, nice Lego work.

Oh gosh oh golly, thank you!  We games love to play!
That's why I'm predicting Grogu to win!!!

Monopoly, Grogu isn't a character in our Dueling game.  You can't pick him.

Well daggummit, why not?  He's short and cute,
just like me!

Monopoly, so help me I'll throw you in the recycling bin if you don't make a new pick...

hehehe, gotcha!!!  I'm picking The Mandalorain!
You should see how red your face is, tehehehe!  Pew Pew!

I hate you Monopoly.

Well, one thing's for sure...a shooter is definitely winning Duel of the Fates!  Swing on by tonight if you want to see the action for yourself!
