Gojirazard vs epicimpulse

Game 1: With flubbing clutch rolls and the early loss of Sheridan, epic managed to play his long rangers around the ABB to take down the AROZs and SAUR resulting in a win! Game 2, epic combined into an early AROZ 6000 and managed to stop Goji’s SALV 3000 before it devastated the field, epic claims victory. Game 3 was a fun match that boiled down to a mirror of AROZ 6000 and ENDER.

Brifox vs HeyJoeLang

HeyJoeLang used the standard Gamound team and Brifox used his Kal team. The game started with both teams charging down the center of the board, getting into position behind terrain. Brifox used the SEN-100 to make some long-range pot shots against the GET-100. The ESPER-600 equipped Kal moved into view of HeyJoeLang’s team. HeyJoeLang moved his GET away from the ESPER and attacked the ARK-100, resulting in damage! Next the GMD tried to shoot the ESPER but with a combination or Evade 6 and reroll it proved difficult to hit. Brifox moved the ESPER to finish off the weakened GET-100. Between the ESPER’s Beacon and the energy drain from the rest of Brifox’s team, HeyJoeLang fell to energy burn, Brifox wins!

TD260 vs 123jrf 

Game 1 start! 123jrf cloaks his team and moves them into position, TD260 counters by combining into the AROZ-6000 on turn one. 123jrf cloaked his robots, resulting in the ESPER-600 being the only legal target, and the AROZ-6000 took it out. Robots move down the battlefield taking pot shots at one another! TD260’s GMD-100 and AROZ-6000 worked together to take out 123jrf’s GHILI. 123jrf’s IPPL cloaked and blitzed towards the AROZ-6000 draining it of 2 energy! TD260 focused fired on the IPPL, taking it out and the rest of 123jrf’s team fell one by one, TD260 wins game 1!

Game 2 READY FIGHT! 123jrf cloaks and moves the IPPL, AKTEL, and GHILI. TD260 strategically position his robots for this opening combination. The SNO-400 buffs the ABB-200 and ELL-400’s accuracy. The ABB-200 throws the ELL forward 2 spots. GMD pushes the ELL another 6 spots. ELL flies majestically towards the clumped up IPPL and AKTEL dropping bombs everywhere with its radial attack destroying both robots (cue Ride of the Valkyries). This was the coolest play of the game, TD260 takes the match.

Cardboardclash vs Texaport

CardBoardClash had a time restraint and couldn’t play, Texaport wins! Next round returning fighter will take Ensign will take Cardboard’s place!

Cybermage vs CAnon

Cyber starts by moving up his team, including his SAUR-300 with the help of ABB-200. CAnon follows suit, but strategically positions his robots to avoid the long range of the SAUR. Cyber’s SAUR starts taking pot shots, softening the opposing team and destroying CAnon’s ABB-501. CAnon counters with sneaking the ENDER behind enemy lines for a pincer attack on the SAUR! Cyber strategically combines the ESHA with the SAUR into the ESHA-3000. CAnon uses the SSM-126 to blast the ESHA and GAN-2000 for some damage. Thing were looking grim for CAnon, but with careful planning (and bombing attacks) CAnon destroyed the ESHA and GAN, first game to CAnon!

GAME 2 Cyber quickly combines into the ESHA-3000 and blows itself and Canon’s ENDER-100 up. Canon combines into the SSM-3000. Cyber strategically places the GAN as a wall, protecting the team. Before it’s destroyed, Cyber combines into the EXCEL-GAN. Cyber’s EXCEL-GAN rushes CAnon’s SSM. CAnon shoots missiles at is as it closes the gap. CAnon’s team weakens the EXCEL-GAN before losing the SSM. CAnon combines the ABB and IDA together for the IDA-1000 and carefully plans how to take out the level 3, but the EXCEL-GAN closes the gap and finishes the IDA off. Cyber wins! ON TO GAME 3!

LET’S GO! Opening volleys fired! Cyber combines into the ENDER-1000, blitzing towards the EXCEL-100. CAnon counters by combining into the GAN-2000. CAnon’s ELL-100 destroys Cyber’s GEL-100. CAnon strikes back against the ELL, destroying it. Cyber decides it’s EXCEL-GAN time and CAnon counters with the ENDER-5000. Cyber destroys the IDA-400 giving CAnon less energy. The ENDER-5000 blasts the EXCEL-GAN over multiple turns, destroying it before the dangerous sword attack connects. CAnon wins!

That’s the scrap on round 2! Come back next week for round 3!

FIGHT AND UNITE!
