Preview: Duel of the Fates - April 19, 2024

 

How are we already at our second to last Duel of the academic year???  We snuck in a surprise bachelor party Duel for Ian, but the only April Duel is usually Duel of the Fates.  And that means tonight, when the Duelers gather, they'll have to listen to "Duel of the Fates" on REPEAT for the entire match!!!  Sanity will be tested, blood will boil, and ears will bleed.  We can't wait!!!

MEET THE DUELERS

Bekah - She's riding high after securing her first career win in last month's Imperial March, and turns pro (Duel of the Fates) this month!

Bella - Pinch-hitter supreme Bella is back at the table, graciously helping us get to 12.  Duel of the Fates will also elevate her to pro status!

CJ - The Duelers will have to contend with one of the fiercest Duelers in recent league history.  She had a good run last month, finishing fifth at the Imperial March.

Curtis - After a string of subpar finishes, Curtis nearly won the Power Coupling Duel last week, finishing third with Yoda.

Grant D. - Nobody will be smiling bigger than Grant tonight.  He's still aglow from his win last weekend at the bachelor party Duel.  It was his first win in nearly six years!

Ian - My apologies for not taking a picture of Ian's surprised face when he walked in on his surprise bachelor party Duel.  He had a good showing too, finishing fifth with his favorite Darth Maul.

Julia - Julia comes into Duel of the Fates with three straight top-four finishes, including second place at the Valentine's Duel.

Parker - Shout out to Parker, pinch-hitting tonight.  He's hoping to place better than his last match, where he finished in 11th at the Fight Night duel last October.

Rico - Rico is jumping into the Duel tonight too, and like Parker, hasn't played since October.  But he did finish in fourth at that Duel!

Riley B. - The Dueling diehard is running out of time to win his first Duel before his impending graduation.  He got ganged up on at last week's Power Coupling, finishing 11th.

Riley E. - She'll hope to escape the wrath of her little sister CJ, who was responsible for Riley's lackluster seventh place ouster last month.

Rob - He's defending his Darth Maul trophy, having won Duel of the Fates last year.  Can he retain the creepiest trophy in the league?

Tonight will be high anxiety - swing on by if you want to watch some of the action!
