These are the Gladiators in the top spots as we enter the final 3 days of the 1st Round. The 2nd Round starts on Monday where the Champ Masterone will join the 15 Qualifiers as we start Head to Head competitions.
As the standings start to take shape as we enter the final 3 days, there is going to be some epic showdowns in Round 2 for sure. One of the developments that is really interesting is that we have 3 Newcomers in the 10 and a squad of heavy hitters in the bottom ranks. This puts on a collision course for some great 2nd Round battles. The bottomline is that there is no safe spot in the Battle Forum. It's going to be bloody no matter where you end up seeded.

She has been lurking around the top spot all Tournament long. She's been very patient, like a Black Widow waiting to pounce and pounce she has. Teelocke waited for Thedeakon to slip and she fought off Phillyfan to end the day for the 1st time in the top spot. That's right the first Female to enter the Battle Forum is now in 1st Place with only 2 days left in this round. Talk about historic and epic. Battle Forum V has truly become an epic Tournament.
The scramble for the last spots have intensified. We've had a few Gladiators fall out of contention like Smoothd, Gorzo and GhostRunner but we also have Unstoppable Force step up into the mix. So now the situation is we have 7 Gladiators fighting for 4 spots at the bottom. Three Gladiators will not make the next out of this group and we have some heavyweights fighting for it including 2 ex Champs, Atlanta and Upset City. It's going to be a great finish this weekend as the 1st Round comes to it's conclusion.
DAY 12 RECAP
QUEEN OF THE BATTLE FORUM!

Phillyfan is ending it like he started....red hot. Phillyfan went 6-1 and has gained 880 points the last 2 days. Meanwhile TeeLocke who was Queen for a day seemed content to hold steady with a firm hand on the 2nd spot so she was idle for the day.
But the action once again is at the bottom of the bracket. A full blown war has taken place among veteran Gladiators. Smoothd appears to be one of the casualties as he has lost 1700 points in 2 days. Smoothd has been given last rites and will be cremated today Gladiator style.
The war below goes on though and we still have 8 Gladiators fighting for 4 spots. My esteemed colleague Atlanta has rightfully pointed out the bottom of the Bracket is where the veterans are, including 2 Ex-Champs Atlanta and Upset City. Currently Hashbrowns and Atlanta are tied for the last spot. It may take the tiebreaker to decide this thing. SBL, Grambus and Gorzo are 270, 320 and 360 points respectively out of that last spot.
So now the stage is set for the last day of Round 1 which has been the wild bloodbath we expected. What's going to happen today is anybody's guess. The only thing that's guaranteed is that some Gladiator legends will be joining Smoothd in Gladiator heaven.

The brawl for the last spot has started early as Atlanta took a swing at Hashbrowns. Hashbrowns was unfazed and is now preparing the counterstrike as he moves 10 points ahead of Atlanta. Meanwhile Unstoppable Force is trying to remain and above the fray and it looks like he will watch and react. Grambus is sharpening his tools as starts to make his move as well. It's going to be an all day battle between these Heavyweight Gladiators.
1ST ROUND FINALE
ATLANTA FIRES A SHOT!

It's going to be an all day battle between these Heavyweight Gladiators.
The one thing that is clear now is that the Champ will have his hands full in the 2nd Round because whoever wins this Battle Royal for the last spot will be a Veteran Gladiator that could easily take out the Champ. Who will it be? Stay tuned for the answer as the day progresses.

The Final Battles loom now. Upset City has gone 2-0 to most certainly secure his spot in the 2nd Round. But the war rages on with 4 Gladiators withing 30 points of each other and SBLCapitol and Grambus charging over the hill. WBellhaven, Unstoppable, Hashbrowns and Atlanta are locked in a Death Match for the last spot. Somebody isn't going to make it. We haven't seen this type of mayhem since Battle Forum III when Degosfinest, Unstoppable Force and WBellhaven went down to the wire. WBellhaven was the odd man out in that battle. Will history repeat itself or WBellhaven exit this round victorious? We will know the answers to this question and more in a few short hours.

Gorzo took out his sword and started fighting with the tremendous passion of a driven Gladiator. He has zoomed to 16th Place after gaining 250 points. Gorzo was an afterthought earlier today but now he's zoomed to the last spot. At one point Gorzo had reached the 15th spot but no doubt kept firing just in case he needed it. Now there is only 6 games left. Gorzo is holding 10 point lead over Hashbrowns and a 20 point lead over Atlanta. Grambus and SBL Capital are done as they join Smoothd in Gladiator Heaven. Get your popcorn ready it's going to wild finish!
GORZO MAKES HIS MOVE!

PhillyFan has locked up the top spot as TeeLocke is content with in 2nd Place and hasn't made any picks. That means that when the 2nd Round starts tomorrow PhillyFan will be the #2 Seed and TeeLocke will be the #3 Seed.
PHILLYFAN LOCKS UP THE TOP SPOT!

If you followed the Battle Forum today you know it was a Roller Coaster ride right down to the finish. The last few hours was like the Stock Market. Grambus went berserk and started kicking everybody's butt when he gained an incredible 640 points to secure the 14th spot. But the high drama provided by the quartet of Gladiators left was something special. WBellhaven, Hashbrowns, Unstoppable Force and Atlanta waged a torched Earth battle against each other.
Atlanta and Hashbrowns had the final 2 spots leading into the last game. That left Unstoppable Force and WBellhaven on the outside looking in. But Atlanta and Hashbrowns were about to make the fatal mistakes that cost both of them those spots to advance. While Unstoppable Force and WBellhaven chose to remain idle for the last game, both Atlanta and Hashbrowns decided to play it out. Bad move. Atlanta chose to go with Ft. Wayne -5. Hashbrowns went a step further taking Ft. Wayne and the Over. Both Gladiators lost in a clean sweep of disappointment. Those losses sent Atlanta and Hashbrowns to Gladiator Heaven while Unstoppable and WBellhaven survived a sure death to fight another day. It was the wildest 1st Round finish in Battle Forum history. What a day and what a Tournament. We still have 3 more rounds to go as we now start the Head to Head battles.
DAY 14 RECAP
WHAT A FINISH!

The Champs vacation is over and he's faced with a serious 1st Round matchup with the always tough Unstoppable Force. If anybody can end the Champs reign it will be Unstoppable. I can tell you this the Champs conservative approach will not work with Unstoppable Force. He will need to be War Ready when the bell rings.
PhillyFan vs WBellhaven
This is another great 2nd Round matchup. PhillyFan had a great 1st Round but WBellhaven is battle tested and has gone up against very tough competition in previous Battle Forums. Can PhillyFan keep the hot streak going against WBellhaven? We will see but this is one going to be a great battle.
TeeLocke vs Grambus
TeeLocke has made history by being the 1st Female Gladiator and she had a great 1st Round. Now for the bad news. This matchup against an angry Grambus who now has a 2nd life after almost being eliminated in the 1st Round doesn't bode well for TeeLocke. On the other hand Teelocke finished the 1st Round with the highest win pct at an incredible 76.1%. She was very conservative and Grambus has seen this movie before with Masterone in the Championship in Battle Forum IV. TeeLocke better be prepared for an intense battle if she wants to advance to the Quarter Finals. Grambus is on a mission and he is most likely one of the most dangerous Gladiators in the Tournament.
Ds0589 vs Upset City
It's another great matchup with some history. These 2 Powerhouse Gladiators met back in Battle Forum III and Ds0589 Defeated Upset City badly. Upset City is now looking for some payback. Ds0589 or the Vampire as we call him has the reputation of being hard to eliminate and just when you think he's dead he's not. He has comeback so many times in the Battle Forum that's how he has earned the nickname the "Vampire". Upset City is an Ex-Champ so he knows what it takes to win these battles. You don't become the Battle Forum Champ without being tested and getting tested is what will happen in this battle. Both Gladiators are veterans of big battles and this is just another great battle to log in their history.
2nd Round Preview
Masterone vs Unstoppable Force
The Champs vacation is over and he's faced with a serious 1st Round matchup with the always tough Unstoppable Force. If anybody can end the Champs reign it will be Unstoppable. I can tell you this the Champs conservative approach will not work with Unstoppable Force. He will need to be War Ready when the bell rings.
PhillyFan vs WBellhaven
This is another great 2nd Round matchup. PhillyFan had a great 1st Round but WBellhaven is battle tested and has gone up against very tough competition in previous Battle Forums. Can PhillyFan keep the hot streak going against WBellhaven? We will see but this is one going to be a great battle.

Both Gladiators are veterans of big battles and this is just another great battle to log in their history.
The newcomer 24Secv will now get baptized in Head to Head combat Gladiator style. Thedeakon is another Gladiator that has been through the wars. Thedeakon has been denied twice after reaching the Quarterfinals. He's determined to go all the way now and it's unfortunate that 24Secv has to face Thedeakon at this time. 24Secv did have a 60% win pct in the 1st Round and he will need to bring that into this battle.
SixBanks vs Mondo
This is another battle where a newcomer will be facing a Powerhouse. SixBanks made a name for himself in the 1st Round and his reward will be facing an Ex-Champ in Mondo. Mondo was our first Champ so he goes down in Battle Forum lore based on that special place. He's vicious and can literally wipe out Gladiators after a few days of blistering attacks. SixBanks did well in the 1st Round hitting at a 63.1 % clip. But he was very conservative and as history has shown us being conservative doesn't win you many battles when we go to Head to Head. But we can't forget that Masterone did use the conservative approach in Battle Forum IV to win the Championship. Mondo doesn't do the conservative thing. He likes to get a big lead and then pummel his opponent. This is going to be an interesting clash of styles.
Manny vs Taylorsallstars
Manny had a great 1st Round and has seemed to learn his lesson from his 1st appearance in Battle Forum IV. Now Manny will take on another newcomer in Taylorallstars. Taylorsallstars was solid early on before stumbling a bit down the stretch. Whoever wins this battle will be in rarefied air when they go to the Quarterfinals that's for sure.
Degosfinest vs Crushalot
Degosfinest has been to the Semifinals twice in the last 3 Battle Forums and he is arguably the most dangerous Gladiator in the field. But if Degosfinest wants to get back to the Semis again he will have to earn it against Crush. Crush is the Gladiators Gladiator. He's always willing to get down and dirty and will not back away from any Gladiator. It's been awhile since Crush has made it to this level so he wants to make it worth his while. This is going to be one of the toughest battles we will see no doubt and whoever comes out of this victorious will be a force to be reckoned with.
24Secv vs Thedeakon
The newcomer 24Secv will now get baptized in Head to Head combat Gladiator style. Thedeakon is another Gladiator that has been through the wars. Thedeakon has been denied twice after reaching the Quarterfinals. He's determined to go all the way now and it's unfortunate that 24Secv has to face Thedeakon at this time. 24Secv did have a 60% win pct in the 1st Round and he will need to bring that into this battle.

Masterone is back doing it again and driving Gladiators crazy. Unstoppable came out swinging while Masterone just stood there listening to the crowd chant his name while Unstoppable couldn't phase the Champ.

Unstoppable Force -440

If Grambus thought this was going to be a cakewalk TeeLocke put him on notice that it's going to be a long battle with the crowd cheering for her wildly. Grambus has been in high profile battles before so this will test his mettle.
Teelock 100
Grambus 90
DS0589 Draws First Blood

Thedeakon opened up a can of whoop A** on 24Secv as the capacity crowd cheered him on. Thedeakon has brought in his own cheering section from Canada to root the Gladiator on to victory. 24Secv will need to get it together fast or this could get ugly.
In other action SixBankz continues his conservative approach and it's working. Mondo is having his hands tied and can't get any traction on his games.
Taylorsallstars is beating the crap out of Manny at the moment. Taylorsallstars knows that it's going to take consistent effort to make it to the Quarterfinal.
The best battle so far is between TeeLocke and Grambus. These Gladiators are slugging it out to the delight of the crowd. TeeLocke flew in her own cheering squad and these ladies are making noise. Grambus only has a 90 point lead and that could easily disappear if TeeLocke can get hot.

The Champ will advance as Unstoppable Force was the latest victims of the Champs mind games. The crowd haunted Unstoppable Force as he was carried out of the Battle Forum on a stretcher while Masterone waved his arms in victory.
Scores thru Saturday
MASTERONE -340
UNSTOPPBALE FORCE -1930
WBellhaven makes his move as he started to put some pain on Phillyfan. WBellhaven can never be counted out and has shown once again how he is never finished until final bell sounds. These 2 Veteran Gladiators will be fighting until the last game today.
PHILLYFAN 500
WBELLHAVEN 440
The crowd was shouting 'Finish her' to Grambus in his battle with TeeLocke. But Grambus was a honorable Gladiator and simply kissed TeeLocke's hand and escorted her out of the Battle Forum. TeeLocke's run was historic, being that she was the first Female Gladiator. She will learn from this defeat and come back again to stake her claim as Battle Forum Champion. Grambus advances to the Quarters to seek his revenge against Masterone depending on what happens with WBellhaven.
DS0589 turned back Upset City's revenge bid. DS0589 scored the 2nd highest single day total on Friday when he put up 1070 points on Upset City turning this battle on his head. Upset City was in control until that point and now the end is here for Upset City. DS0589 advances to the Quarters again.

24Secv has fought bravely and has actually been one of the better Gladiators in this Battle Forum. It's unfortunate he was battling Thedeakon who has experienced the pain that 24Secv is having because Thedeakon's history has been facing hot Gladiators at the wrong time. Thedeakon is showing in this Battle Forum that he is a force to be reckoned with as he advances to the Quarters.

Mondo has been sleepwalking through this 2nd Round battle but yesterday SixBankz tried to make a move. It didn't turn out well for him. Mondo basically watched SixBankz self destruct and although there is still hope for SixBankz it's going to take a Herculean effort to win this battle. Mondo wont have the luxury of sleepwalking in the Quarters that's for sure.
MONDO 60
SIXBANKZ -820
Taylorsallstars has been one of those Gladiators that has slipped under the radar. But after the dismantling he's put on Manny he will no longer be under the radar. Manny self destructed in a way that only TeeLocke has. Manny lost 1050 points losing 15 of 21 games. That has pretty much put the nail in Manny's coffin. It ain't over but the Fat Lady is making her way to the stage as we speak.
TAYLORSALLSTARS 270
MANNY -1240
Degosfinest may have slept a little too long in this battle with Crush. Apparently Degosfinest forgot that Crush is the owner of the greatest comeback in Battle Forum history when he shocked Smoothd with a one day turnaround. Degosfinest was in Battle Forum I but we guess his memory hasn't served him well or he doesn't believe that fat meat is greasy. Crush is letting him know that indeed fat meat is greasy. Crush is on the verge of repeating his historic upset in Battle Forum I if he can finish this comeback against Degosfinest. These 2 Gladiators will definitely be throwing down today.

Crush is on the verge of repeating his historic upset in Battle Forum I if he can finish this comeback against Degosfinest. These 2 Gladiators will definitely be throwing down today.
Taylorsallstars celebrated along with the festive crowd as he ended his battle with Manny in grand style knocking Manny out of the Tournament. Taylor is now the only Rookie Gladiator to make it to the Quarterfinals. After all the attention being put on TeeLocke, 24Secv and SixBankz, Taylor is the only Rookie left standing. He celebrated in grand fashion as the streamers poured down and the Champagne flowed.

It was basically a walk-in-the-park for Mondo as SixBankz was clearly overmatched and never really gave Mondo a challenge allowing him to coast through this battle. Mondo is on a mission but break time is over as Mondo will now face Taylorallstars the son of SixBankz. Taylor will be looking for Family for revenge to avenge his Father's devastating defeat. 'Taylor I am your Father avenge my death' That was the last words of SixBankz as he was carried out of the Battle Forum on a stretcher.

MONDO -50
SIXBANKZ -740
MONDO BREEZES TO THE QUARTERS!

Let it be known that Crush is the King of Comebacks. Down by 1080 points, Crush made the steady climb to down Degosfinest in a stunning victory in the Battle Forum. Degosfinest lent a deaf year as his supporters implored him to do something. But Degosfinest apparently had been reading too many of Chapters Masterone's best selling Book "The Zen Master of the Battle Forum" Apparently Degosfinest skipped the chapters about when they start getting too close you have to start fighting back.
It was stunning to watch as one of the better Gladiators in the Battle Forum took punch after punch while Crush piled up the points. Was it a case of underestimating Crush. Well in an interview Degosfinest was kind of enough to give us he said 'No'. As a matter of fact he said he would play it the same way again if given the chance. Make that what you will. All we can say is that Crush deserves a ton of credit for not giving up and turning the Counterpuncher strategy on its head. Now Crush will advance to face another legendary Gladiator in Thedeakon.

When two Powerhouse Gladiators collide you already know it's going to go down and it went down indeed between these two awesome Gladiators. Phillyfan had been leading throughout the Battle but we warned you before you can never turn your on WBellhaven the man simply doesn't quit.
These two exchanged blows delighting the Battle Forum crowd as they stood to watch the double carnage. WBellhaven had 5 days in a row of piling up points but in the end it came down to one fatal mistake. Apparently Phillyfan broke one of the Cardinal rules in the Battle Forum and that rule is you never put down your sword to focus on something else when you're in a close battle. Phillyfan turned his attention to another adventure and got lucked out of the last pick. At this point he was left to the mercy of fate and as we all know fate isn't kind when you have broken one of tenets. So Phillyfan went down to defeat. In the end he took the honorable way out and fell on his sword. This was a classic battle and one that will go down in the annals of the Battle Forum as a thriller. WBellhaven moves on as he has done so many times in the past and will once again head to the Quarters where he will now take aim at the Champ.
