Matthew McCormick & Kurgan d. Alexei Voshin & Luther
Iman Fasil & Axel Whittaker d. Paul Kinman & Paul Karros

[Aragorn]

1.
Reagan Cole & Carter Wellan
vs.
Methos & Hans Kirschner

Carter would go down relatively quickly, although I feel like he's probably better than we rate him. I think generally he probably beats Richie. Anyways, Methos and Kershner are two of the best in the tournament.
VOTE: Methos & Hans

2.
Amanda & Zai Jie
vs.
Arthur Drakov & Lucas Desiree

I think Drakov could disarm Amanda (like he did to Duncan), but like Duncan I think he'd have a hard time finishing the job as he's a bit overweight and slow. Amanda would escape and would cause a cat & mouse scenario and I think Zai unquestionably takes down Desiree in the process and Amanda and Zai have little trouble double teaming Drakov.
VOTE: Amanda and & Zai

3.
Matthew McCormick & Kurgan
vs.
Alexei Voshin & Luther

Slaughter. VOTE: McCormick & Kurgan

4.
Paul Kinman & Paul Karros
vs.
Iman Fasil & Axel Whittaker

I actually think this is a good match but I think both Fasil and Whittaker are a bit better than the Pauls.
VOTE: Fasil & Axel

[dubiousbystander]

1. Methos & Hans Kirschner
As much as I wish Carter had more screen time, Methos and Kirschner champion this one with relative ease.

2. Amanda & Zai Jie
Oh yeah.

3. Matthew McCormick & Kurgan
This one is pretty much no contest.

4. Iman Fasil & Axel Whittaker
Axel is a dweeb, but Fasil would probably be key to winning this one.

[Ceridwen]

Methos & Hans Kirschner for the win.

Arthur Drakov & Lucas Desiree - I think Desiree could beat Amanda, who is (let's face it) not the best with a blade, and even if Drakov can't beat Zai, Desiree could.

Matthew McCormick & Kurgan, but wow, what a bad combo.

Iman Fasil & Axel Whittaker, simply because Fasil was one of the best since he was one of the last.

Kamir & Timon d. Morgan Walker & Tyler King
Claude Deveraux & Otavio Consone d. Gabriel Piton & Katya
Haresh Clay & Kalas d. Carl Robinson & Bartholomew
Everett Bellian & Jin Ke d. Walter Graham & Kronos

[Aragorn]

ROUND 2

1.
Morgan Walker & Tyler King
vs.
Kamir & Timon

So, Kalas got Timon after he had been hanging around on Holy Ground a while. This is where I get rusty, I don't remember how many years Timon was with Paul. I don't feel like it was AGES or centuries but I feel like it was at least like 10 years or something. Still, I do remember his database stating he was clearly rusty because he had been there a while. Kalas got him at the worst time. I don't think Timon is some great fighter but I think he's better than he looked in his fight with Kalas. If I was forced to rank these 4, I would put him at the bottom but not by a long stretch. Walker wasn't too great either, though when you face off against Methos it's easy to look out classed. That being said, I think Kamir is clearly the best here. Duncan is skilled enough to get past his tricks but I don't think King or Walker are and I think he could take either one out (especially Walker) pretty quickly. I think Timon could out last either fighter long enough for Kamir to come in and help him clean up whoever was left.
VOTE: Kamir & Timon

2.
Claude Deveraux & Otavio Consone
vs.
Gabriel Piton & Katya

This could go either way. I'm inclined to agree with Jedi on this one and state I think Deveraux would go down. He's a big hulking fighter with no finesse and I think Piton or Katya would take him out without a ton of fanfare. Sure, you could make an argument that Consone would drop Piton or Katya quicker but I don't think so. I still think it would be tough for Katya and Piton to take down Consone as he'd fight hard but I personally think they would. Piton did disarm Duncan which is pretty impressive. The way their fight was choreographed, Duncan won by a split second being just a tad faster.
VOTE: Piton & Katya

3.
Carl Robinson & Bartholomew
vs.
Haresh Clay & Kalas

So while the outcome is without doubt b/c Clay & Kalas are both a bit better than these two, Carl & Bart (especially w/ his shield) are no slouches. I think Clay probably cuts down Carl and Bart's playing defensive against Kalas. Once Clay comes back they're able to double team Bart and win.
VOTE: Clay & Kalas

4.
Everett Bellian & Jin Ke
vs.
Walter Graham & Kronos

So this match could go either way. If they fought 100 times, I think both sides would win a lot. That being said, I rate Jin Ke higher than Kronos as a fighter. Kronos has more will as a character, but in straight up fighting Jin Ke appears better to me. Bellian and Graham are a coin toss. While it could go either way, I'm going Jin Ke & Bellian.
VOTE: Jin Ke & Bellian

[JedimstrCR]

1.
Morgan Walker & Tyler King
vs.
Kamir & Timon

Kamir is by far the best combatant here. As long as Timon isn't a complete joke (I'm betting he wasn't, as long as he didn't just leave the monastery after a century or two), Team Kamir takes down the goons.

2.
Claude Deveraux & Otavio Consone
vs.
Gabriel Piton & Katya

I don't think Claude beats either Piton or Katya (who would take him out very similarly to Felice). So then the question is can Otavio kill his opponent before Claude dies? I don't think he can.

3.
Carl Robinson & Bartholomew
vs.
Haresh Clay & Kalas

The only one-sided match this round IMO.

4.
Everett Bellian & Jin Ke
vs.
Walter Graham & Kronos

I could see this one going either way. That said, I think Kronos and Jin Ke are so close (and you just KNOW Kronos would want Jin Ke), it comes down to the other 2. I've got Walter about a half-tier higher than Everett, so that seals the deal.

[Mr.Slash]

ROUND 2

1.
Kamir & Timon - Fairly even. I am own poe a fan of Kamir, that is my choice.


2.
Claude Deveraux & Otavio Consone - If Claude can keep either of his opponents bust long enough, Consone can win the day fairly easy.


3.
Haresh Clay & Kalas - Their opponents aren't totally horrible, but This will be pretty one sided.


4.
Walter Graham & Kronos - In my own personal top 20, three of them are in this fight. Bellian is not one of them.

[dubiousbystander]

1. Morgan Walker & Tyler King vs. Kamir & Timon
Nicholas, I have to go against you on this one. Of course, I have a bias against Morgan Walker, who throws a tantrum and tossed the slave he had sex with out the window, and then lured the Immortal he knew as Benjamin via hostage. Tyler, well I don't think he was that good a fighter, but it's hard to say for certain. Timon is also hard to say about, but I don't like the other guys.
I think Kamir and Timon.

2. Claude Deveraux & Otavio Consone vs. Gabriel Piton & Katya
We will never know Deveraux's true capacity, but I dislike Piton. Katya's storyline was not the best.
Consone will generally win.

3. Carl Robinson & Bartholomew vs. Haresh Clay & Kalas
I had to refresh myself on Bartholomew because he's such a scumbag. I'd go Haresh Clay and Kalas, but it's darned unfair. Put Haresh with Robinson instead.

4. Everett Bellian & Jin Ke vs. Walter Graham & Kronos
I'm going to have to side with Nicholas on this. Despite Jin Ke having ended up as one of Kell's peons, ugh.

[Nicholas Ward]

ROUND 2

1.
Morgan Walker & Tyler King
vs.
Kamir & Timon

2.
Claude Deveraux & Otavio Consone
vs.
Gabriel Piton & Katya

3.
Carl Robinson & Bartholomew
vs.
Haresh Clay & Kalas

4.
Everett Bellian & Jin Ke
vs.
Walter Graham & Kronos

1. Team Walker. I was never impressed with Kamir and since I know almost nothing about Timon's fighting skill he loses his fight against King.

2. Claude is the weakest of the bunch but Consone is S-tier. Unless Katya has her crossbow, Consone will dispatch of either other fighter before the other has a chance to join in.

3. Team Clay

4. This is a tough call and will entirely depend on how long Bellian and Graham last. But since Bellian is way more level-headed than Graham I'll give this to Team Bellian.

[Aragorn]

I don't even think #2 is easy. I think Claude is the worst of the group and I think Consone would end up by himself.

[Aragorn]

I think match #1 and #4 are actually pretty hard.

BYES: Antonius Kalas & Kassim

[Ceridwen]

1.
Gina de Valicourt & Horvan Kant

I also think Gina is the only high end fighter in this group. Can see her turning on her team mate too, and taking him down.

2.
Katya & Rebecca Horne

This is tough, Rebecca v Grayson is the question here. I don't think that much of Katya or Carlos in the larger scheme of things,but Katya's intesity would probably win out...but not sure who would win between Rebecca and Grayson...I think I'll go with Rebecca because she's old, tough, unlikely to let arrogance get in the way, and I like her better.

3.
Tommy Sullivan & May-Ling Shen

No contest.

[dubiousbystander]

1. Team de Valicourt
2. Oh yes, Katya and Rebecca
3. Tommy Sullivan & May-Ling Shen TOTAL floor-wiping!

1. Team Kant
2. Team Horne
3. Team Sully

[Aragorn]

1.
Kit O'Brady & Annie Devlin
vs.
Gina de Valicourt & Horvan Kant

I think Gina is the only respectable fighter in this group. We see her practicing with Robert and she actually looks pretty strong. Kant is clearly a killer so while I don't think these two would have much in the way of chemistry, I think they'd have no problems taking down Annie and Kit (who, lets face it wouldn't get along. Kit would annoy the Ba-Jesus out of Annie).
VOTE: Gina & Kant

2.
Katya & Rebecca Horne
vs.
Carlos Dash & Grayson

This is interesting because I feel like Rebecca v Grayson would be epic. I can see them duking it out for a while. Katya would eventually kill Carlos and then if they 2 on 1'd Grayson he'd be toast. I honestly feel like Rebecca would probably beat Grayson (though I could be wrong). I think even if Grayson won Katya could clean up what's left. Still, the two of them would take down Grayson. I think they'd work well together.
VOTE: Katya & Rebecca

3.
Tommy Sullivan & May-Ling Shen
vs.
Kanwulf & Dalman Ross

No contest. Sullivan would trash Ross and May-Ling would take Kanwulf down pretty easily too. I honestly think Sullivan would beat Kanwulf too. I think Sully is a tad underrated. He's a pretty decent fighter considering he's a small, older man.
VOTE: Sullivan & Shen
