Preview: The Fall Brawl - September 21, 2024

 

Now that the temperatures have started to cool (not really) and the leaves are turning color (you mean crickets dying across campus?), it can only mean one thing!  Fall has arrived!  And every autumn brings the Fall Brawl, our annual September Duel!!  We have a doozy in store for 2024, because we're playing in the Eravana Cargo Hold, the most complex board of sliding doors and monstrous rathtars the league has to offer.  So that nip you're feeling in the air is either a cool evening breeze or a rathtar passing by.  It's two points of damage to you either way...

MEET THE DUELERS:

Ok, now that we know who won the Fall Brawl in the past, let's meet who could claim victory this weekend!

Alex G. - Just to prove his rookie Duel win at CL Training was no fluke, Alex went ahead and took down game 2 of the Doubleheader too!  He's scorching hot right now.

Connor - Part of the Teal mafia, Connor had a mid-finish at Doubleheader #2 a couple of weeks ago, but he does have the honor of being the first Dueler to play with The Acolyte character Sol.

Curtis - We've reached that awkward phase of tracking Curtis' winless streak, which is shockingly now at three years.  He came close with a 4th place at Doubleheader #1.

Grant - the league newbies are in for a treat at the Fall Brawl...it will be their first time locking horns with the steely veteran who has two wins in 2024.

James - coming off his first two career Duels at the Doubleheader, he's hoping to improve from his shocking 12th place in the second game.

Joe - You've been warned!  Joe isn't a Dueler who likes to sit around twiddling his thumbs and drawing cards.  Something tells me he's going to love the rathtars...

Jonah - Speaking of chaos fans, Jonah improved to 8th place in his last match at Doubleheader #2.  He'd love to ride that streak into the top five at the Fall Brawl.

Jordann - She is the highest ranked professional Dueler without a career victory.  But she came close with a 3rd place finish at Doubleheader #1 a couple of weeks ago.

Kiera - The BRC is well represented at this Duel.  Kiera had a nifty debut at the last game, Doubleheader #2, until her Lando Calrissian got smashed by the trash compactor!

Michaela - She hasn't played since the Twin Sun Slam, but Michaela had a great showing there this summer.  She made it to second place in the first game.

Noah - New Dueler alert!!!  Noah makes his debut at the Fall Brawl.  Welcome to the league, Noah!

Rob - Rob did everything but win at the Doubleheader two weeks ago.  He landed in second the first game and third in the second.  So close, but so far away!

One of these 12 Duelers are taking home the Mace Windu trophy on Saturday!  Feel free to come by the North Village Fine Arts Studio at 7PM to catch the carnage.
