Degosfinest was motivated today as a fresh group of fans came up from San Diego to root their hero on. Once the San Diego girls found out there were Toronto girls strutting their stuff. They wanted to make sure people know why they call their man Degosfinest. Degosfinest ladies cheered their man on as he pulverized Thedeakon to the tune of a 435 point loss for Thedeakon. It got so bad for Thedeakon, he even compared himself to Smoothd. That alone shows you how bad it's getting for Thedeakon.

It wasn't pretty but Brackson will take it as he makes a small gain in points to pull slightly ahead of Masterone. Masterone continues to struggle as he experienced his 2nd big loss in a row. Brackson's normal strategy of big Underdogs isn't working like it normally does but patience is a virtue and Brackson has shown that he has it.

WBellhaven is searching for answers against the Champ and it's getting harder for him. WBellhaven another lackluster day. This was after it looked like he may have turned the corner after scoring 222 points yesterday. Today he lost 19 points. WBellhaven stopped the bleeding but is deep in the hole to Atlanta who has been consistently scoring points everyday.

From the bowels of the Aloha Station Sports Bar in Aloha, OR a tiny suburb West of Portland the Battle Forum Chronicle comes to you courtesy of Smoothd. Despite having no internet at HQ courtesy of Frontier the Battle Forum marches on. Now let's get down to business before I have too many beers.
Grambus has put Upset City on the critical list with a methodical operation even Atlanta would admire. Grambus gained 65 points for his 4 positive gain out of the first 5 days of this Quarterfinal match. Upset City seems to be well upset as he has finished in the red 3 of the 5 days. Upset City needs to turns this around this weekend or it could be a victory parade for Grambus in Week 2.

Yes we're still at the Aloha Station drinking beers and having GrapeAids. The Battle Forum management is dedicated to the cause despite having no internet at HQ.
Meanwhile Degosfinest is performing an epic assault on Thedeakon. Thedeakon is on a historic downard spiral never before seen in the Battle Forum. At this point Thedeakon is in the red by the tune of 1409 points. The Canadian fans have gone home and the the girls from Toronto have been picked up by the slick talking boys from Southern Cal. It would take something biblical for Thedeakon to comeback and we haven't even reach the weekend quite yet. Degosfinest is looking like a Gladiator on a serious mission and just to think we have 9 days left. This battle could be over by Monday at this point.

Thedeakon plays the heavy favorites and they lose. Then he plays the Underdogs and they lose as well. Wow. Thedeakon had a chance to make up ground against Degosfinest who has slowed down the last couple of days. Thedeakon will have to find the winning combo as we enter the 2nd week of this Quarterfinal matchup.

Upset City came alive tonight. The crowd was chanting his name and it must have provided motivation because Upset City scored his highest gain of the Tournament at 338 points. But Grambus isn't scared at all. You have to hand it to the newbie. Grambus is a natural for the Battle Forum the pressure simply doesn't get to him. He gained 100 points tonight and that is his 3rd gain out of the last 4 nights. Grambus continues to roll. What happens now is anybody's guess but rest assured Upset City is going to make a run.

It's over! Degosfinest mauls Thedeakon to advance to the Semifinals. Degosfinest has 1998 point lead and with only 5 days left there is nothing Thedeakon can do to make up that lead. He would need every single +200 winners to come through and it's rare you're going to get 3 of those every day for 5 days in a row. Degosfinest has already taken his victory lap so this Battle is over. Congratulations to Degosfinest for advancing to the Semifinals once again.

Masterone is living up to his name and is showing he is indeed a Master in Battle Forum IV. Masterone has put up big gain numbers in 3 of the last 4 days, all of them over 200 points. Meanwhile the wheels have come off for Brackson losing big in 3 straight days and 4 of the last 5. Brackson will have no choice now that he's down by 1253 points but to go for some homeruns. One more day with this polar opposite result could mean the end of the line for Brackson.

This battle has turned into a Battle Forum Classic. WBellhaven is giving the Champ all he can ask for and more. These 2 Gladiators have delighted their fans with their "swing for the fences" styles. Both are going for the knockout but neither Gladiator will go down. Now they stand exhausted but determined to see their way through to victory. There is 5 days left to see which Gladiator goes to the Semifinals. It's going to be an exciting 5 days for sure.

Grambus has been the most impressive Gladiator in this tournament so far. He's been consistent and has responded well to the pressure when it's been present. Grambus extended his lead over Upset City who is desperately trying to put together some high scoring days. Upset City gained 92 points today but unfortunately Grambus gained 200. There's only 3 days left so Upset City needs some huge days to put more pressure on Grambus.

Masterone is a day closer to clinching this match and advancing to the Semifinals. It's not officially over but the Fat Lady has cleared her throat and heading for the stage. Brackson needs to go no less than 7-2 and hope Masterone goes at least 0-2 to have a shot at winning this match. We've seen miracles before in the Battle Forum so it ain't over till it's over and since mathematically Brackson still has a shot we can't call this battle just yet.

When you have the pedigree of Upset City in the Battle Forum quitting is simply not an option. Upset City has gained over 300 points twice this week and is forcing Grambus to keep fighting. Now Upset City can do what Crush did back in Battle Forum II and pull an amazing comeback. The crowd is at maximum capacity here in Arena 2. The chants are deafening. Fans of both Gladiators cheer their man on. Can Grambus hold onto the lead or will Upset City pull the upset. Even the Champ Atlanta has taken notice of his rival and in an interview with one of the networks called Upset City the "Minnesota Marvel" It's a name that apparently has caught on as one fan in the stands held up a sign that said just that. We will see if the Minnesota Marvel can do what the Midwest Mafia is known to do and put a horsehead in Grambus's bed.

Brackson seemed to suffer some Home Run Derbyitis in this Battle Forum. He wore himself out in the first round and couldn't keep up the pace in the quarters. After a very hot run to open the 1st round of the Battle, unleashing the Dogs on all opponents, he was unable to sic them on Masterone in the Quarters. Meanwhile, Masterone took a day off to open the Quarters then had 3 poor days with a record of 2-6 before lighting up his competition with an 8-3 run to open what seems to be an insurmountable advantage with three days remaining. We know Brackson will be rooting for the Dawgs (unlike college football) over these last three days as he hopes to batter Masterone with underdogs and pull this battle out.

Masterone has proven to be the Chess player in this Battle Forum. He showed it again yesterday by going with the heavy Underdog Miami and parlayed with the Over. Well played Masterone. Meanwhile Brackson had his 2nd day of gaining more than 200 points and is barely alive but in fact he is still alive. We've calculated the possibilities and there is 627 max points available for Brackson if he goes that route. Of course all of those teams would have to win. There is no Free Will in the Battle Forum!

Just like McGregor and Diaz these 2 Gladiators are bloodied but the battle rages on. WBellhaven took advantage of Atlanta to take a small lead. Now that we're going into the last day these Gladiators must decide how they will play it. Will they go All-in or play conservative and hope for their opponent to make a mistake.That is the question before us now as this Classic Battle wounds down to it's last day.

You have to tip your hat to Upset City. Despite trailing through this entire Round Upset City has managed to stay alive until the last day. Now Grambus is in the unenviable position of not knowing exactly what to do. If he picks he may lose this battle. Who knows what Grambus will do now. But one thing we know is that Grambus wont take Upset City for granted.

Grambus continues his remarkable run in the Battle Forum upsetting Upset City and advancing to the Semifinal Round. Grambus upholds the tradition of newbies making it to the Semifinal Round and will face either WBellhaven or Masterone in the Semifinal Round. It was another great run by Upset City but he will come up short in his quest for a 2nd Battle Forum Trophy. Congrats to Grambus on his outstanding achievement!
