Mondo continues his relentless pursuit of a 2nd Championship when he takes on Thedeakon in this Semifinal clash. Mondo finally had to fight in this Battle Forum in his match with Taylor but as always Mondo rose to the occasion to vanquished the Rookie Gladiator. Thedeakon has been the most consistent Gladiator remaining in the tournament. He has finished #1 in 2 of the 4 weeks as well. Thedeakon will be playing in his 1st Semifinal but as an experienced Gladiator with many big battles under his belt we know he can handle the pressure. This is going to be one great Battle.

Revenge is a dish best served cold or say they say. This is the matchup that we all wanted to see especially Grambus. Grambus has been shouting for Masterone since Battle Forum V began and now he has him. Grambus is familiar with Masterone's tricks. He's knows all about the counterpunching strategy, how Masterone waits for you to slip up and then pounce. These 2 Gladiators met in the Championship in Battle Forum IV. Grambus started off slowly but then caught fire towards the end of that battle to give Masterone all he could handle. Now Grambus knows what to expect. This battle unlike last week will be a one week affair so getting off to a very slow start would not be conducive to winning this battle.
Masterone is trying to become the first Gladiator to Repeat as Battle Forum Champs. He's only one step away and all that stands in his way is Grambus. Masterone is most likely going to stick to the same formula that gotten him this far. Why change now if it's still working right? Masterone knows that he must be ready to fight till the end. In the Battle Forum it gets harder as you advance. But if anybody can Repeat as Champs then it has to be Masterone who is proficient at sizing his opponents weaknesses and taking advangtage of it. It's going to be a great battle no doubt.

Thedeakon is in trouble and we're just getting started. Thedeakon picked a weird time to implode going 1-9 and losing 890 points. If it wasn't for Colorado St-CS Bakersfield going Over the total Thedeakon would have finished the day winless at 0-8. Mondo managed to win 1 game and lost only 120 points.

What is it about facing Masterone that good Cappers suddenly can't pick and dig themselves a hole while Masterone sits back and watches. It's incredible really. Grambus is now 0-7 and down 770 points. The Semifinalist are now a combined 2 -22. Never in the history of the Battle Forum have we seen this much bloodshed with any Gladiators in the Quarters, Semis or the Championship round. Unreal.

It's been a rough Semifinals for these Gladiators and Masterone hasn't made a difference. He came out of his normal seclusion today to get spanked as he went 0-2 losing 220 points. Grambus continued to struggle as well going 4-4 and losing 40 points. It hasn't been an easy Semifinals for these Gladiators.

Thedeakon was trying to find some magic yesterday but he still can't get any traction. He only went 2-3-1 losing 130 points. At this point every point is precious and while Thedeakon struggles Mondo is content to watch his fellow Gladiator with gleeful joy knowing that time and games are running out for Thedeakon.

Be careful what you ask for as Grambus is learning this lesson now. This revenge matchup isn't going the way Grambus was expecting. He posted yet another losing day yesterday going 2-4-2 losing 240 points. Meanwhile Masterone is coasting to yet another victory and has barely broke a sweat. He had a brief challenge in the Quarterfinals but this much publicized rematch has been nothing short of a snoozefest.

Masterone eliminated Grambus in what has been one of the least exciting Semifinals we've had in Battle Forum. Both contests were over early and both losing Gladiators followed the same philosophy of trying to get out to the early lead. It definitely backfired on both as they lose by almost identical scores. Masterone will now face Mondo in his attempt to become the 1st Gladiator to Repeat as Battle Forum Champ. Congrats to Masterone.

This has been a historic Battle Forum for so many reasons so why not end it on a historic note as well. One of these Gladiators will make history by becoming the first Gladiator to taste from the cup of victory twice. Will it be Masterone attempting to Repeat as Champ or will it be Mondo the Champ from Battle Forum I. Stay tuned as these two Gladiators begin there Chess match.

After a day of waiting the Battle Forum Championship suddenly boomed with action. Mondo scored a rare early advantage over the Champ. It's the first time the Champ didn't get out to an early lead. This is only Day 2 so you better bring your popcorn as these two Powerhouse Gladiators battle.

Mondo is doing what the other challengers to Masterone tried to do and that's get off to a good start. Mondo continues to stay hot as he went 2-0 to gain 200 points on the day. Meanwhile Masterone realizes he's in a real battle now and his patented counterpunching strategy is out the window now. Masterone was forced to pick 5 games but he did go 3-2 and gained 80 points. The problem for either Gladiator getting too far behind is that unlike the previous Rounds this Round has limited games as the Tournaments are winding down.

Masterone is in serious trouble now after going 0-2. Masterone is now 660 points behind Mondo. There is only 5 games left for a total of 10 plays. It's starting to look like Mondo is giving Masterone a taste of his own medicine. Masterone will have to play every game and go 9-1 or play 7 games and go 7-0. Either way it's going to be an uphill battle for the Champ.

Either way it's going to be an uphill battle for the Champ.
Mondo has defeated the Champ Masterone and in doing so becomes the first Gladiator to win 2 Championships. Masterone fell victim to his own counterpunching strategy as Mondo did what no other Gladiator has done in the last 2 Battle Forums. Mondo got off to a nice start forcing Masterone to pick multiple games early and Masterone failed to produce winners. It's an emotional event Mondo as he dedicated the tournament to another great Gladiator Irisheyez who tragically passed away last year way too soon.
Masterone was a great Champion and also made Battle Forum history by becoming the only Gladiator to make it to 2 Championships in a row. It's a difficult task navigating the minefield that is the Battle Forum but Masterone deserves the credit for doing it twice in a row.
But the day belongs to Mondo who deserves all the credit for winning this most difficult tournament with it's wide open rules. Congrats to Mondo on this outstanding accomplishment.

Thank you for following the Battle Forum. It was a great contest with some intense battles. Congratulations to Mondo for winning Battle Forum V.

Special thanks to SixBankz for bringing the whole family into the Tournament including his wife TeeLocke who made history by being our first female Gladiator. Battle Forum V will go down in history as the Tournament that really made the Battle Forum an event on Covers. I know that the Battle Forum will continue in popularity and hopefully some you following this thread will join us in our next Battle Forum. Thanks again for being a follower of the Battle Forum.
