Apocalypse VS S.O.R. X
Back to Rock III VS Q.E. 2

Thoughts? Tactics? Tictacs?

Bravo to those still in it, commiserations to those who arent and thank you to all whove been reading thus far. :)

Damn it. :lame: Good fight nonetheless. :)

WAHEY! I beat Wedginator again, picked up several brilliant slogans for QE2 and got to see a fantastic battle. :) Good job Kody though.

ZE TAKTIKSPIELEN:

BTR is six wheel drive, and this is where my advantage is - I should be able to get around it more easily. I shall try and go for the rear, rear corners, or sides, avoiding the front, and either lift it or axe it, before dragging it over to the hazard type things, house robot type things, or posibly the void.

If that fails, my plan B makes use of its self righting; I shall flip it, and while it is self righting I shall pepper the underside with holes.

Good luck, Marti :)

WAHEY! I beat Knyfe, picked up several brilliant slogans for BTRIII and gor to see a fantstic battle. :)
Good job Paul though.

ZE TAKTIKSPIELEN:

QE2 is driven by four wheels, even though it got six, and this is where my advantage is - I should be able to push it around more easily. I shall try and go for the rear, rear corners, or sides, avoid the front, and lift it and saw it, before pushing it over the hazard type things, house robot type things, and possibly the void.

If QE2 flips me over, Im happy to say BTRIII self rights quicker than BTRII did; my underside wont be all peppered with holes.

Good luck, Joey :)






PS; sorry, had to do this XD

Damn you, Marti :proud:

Talking to Kody over MSN the other day and I said:

Bet Ill come up against SOR X in the semi-finals.


Pyschic or what?

Tactics, however pointless they are:

Im screwed, I think. Im very happy to have reached the semis, but this is probably where it ends. Tactics are to box-rush and try and end the match quickly by flipping it OOTA. Once Ive turned it over, dont flip again unless I get it near the wall. Ill open the void after Ive flipped SOR X, so when the wedge is uselss Ill try and er... void it?

Good luck AJ, you wont need it:)

«Apocalypse vs. SOR X»

Again, this looks like a fight for the routine tactics. Flip, push, destroy. The 4mm Hardox armour wont be easy to kill off, so instead I have another plan. Using the wedge, get under the sides and push it towards one of the arena walls. From here I will try to stack it up against one of the walls. Once on its side, get the spinning rim and drive it into the now exposed weaker base plate. Hopefully this will cause some damage. Alternatively, if I dont manage to stack it up, an OOTA should be possible instead.

Good luck Liam! Great stuff as ever, Steve.

Good to see its going down well so far. Cheers, lads!

Now, lets go find our first finalist!

THE PHOENIX CUP
SEMI-FINALS
BATTLE 1
APOCALYPSE Vs S.O.R. X

House Robots - Michael Pliers & Surlygig

Roboteers, stand by...
3...2...1...
ACTIVATE!

Slightly the quicker, Apocalypse bursts out of its spotlight and crashes straight into S.O.R. X! The two robots scuffle for a moment, each trying to get under the other! Suddenly, theres a burst of CO2 and S.O.R. is thrown over! Apocalypse comes back in for a charge, but lets not forget that AJs machine is also invertible! S.O.R. darts out of Apocalypses way and heads back to the centre of the ring, flicking itself upright again! Liam stays hot on AJs heels and before long, the duo are at each others wedges again! This time, S.O.R. gains the upper hand, swinging its rear spinner into Apocalypses side! The rounded wedge is knocked to one side, a few nasty scrapes in the blue paintjob! Before Liam can even draw breath, S.O.R. gives it another whack! This time, one of the skirts appears damaged, no thanks to S.O.R.s extra-low-slung frame! AJs machine gives it another knock before charging under the damaged skirt! Wasting no time, the Warrior lookalike fires its flipper and throws Apocalypse over onto its back! S.O.R. drives back underneath, hoping to get it near an arena wall and end the match, when Apocalypse flips itself back onto its wheels! Quickly scuttling off S.O.R.s wedge, Liam drives his own wedge underneath its rival and flicks it onto its back again before it can get away! AJ starts backing away for some space to self-right, but Apocalypse wont let it be! The Welsh wedge powers under S.O.R.s inverted wedge and rams the longtime veteran up the arena, smack-bang into the Void Activation Button! The trademark siren blares as Apocalypse gives its opponent a couple extra shunts for good measure! Starting to get worried, AJ drives S.O.R. back down the arena as Liam backs for a charge and gracefully rerights! No sooner is S.O.R. right side up and the spinner back up to speed than Apocalypse arrives on the scene! AJ swings his deadly drum into Apocalypses side, creating a shower of sparks as the Welsh wedge is thrown aside again! Liam barely regains control when S.O.R. rushes in and clips the side! Apocalypse tries to position itself for an attack, but S.O.R.s excellent manoueverability proves key as it weasels back under the side skirts! AJ throws Apocalypse into the air a second time but, to Liams relief, it stays the right way up! Disappointed, AJ sends S.O.R. in again and smacks its spinner into the side! More sparks fly as Apocalypse takes on yet more scrapes and scars! The Hardox shell is still holding up strong, though, and Liam is far from beaten! Jerking backwards, he manages to avoid another charge from S.O.R. like a matador to a bull! Briefly, the duo circle each other, battling to see who is really the more manoueverable. At last, Apocalypses arm finds S.O.R.s side! Liam drives deeper under his rival before it can get away and fires the flipper! AJ groans as S.O.R. finds itself upside-down again and positions itself for a dash to the arena centre! Unfortunately, Apocalypse comes in for another charge and finds its way back under the inverted wedge! Liam goes full throttle and rams S.O.R. down the ring! AJ winces when he sees the robots approaching Killeidascope Corner - but Liam isnt aiming there! Instead, he sends Apocalypse to the left and gives a great flip! S.O.R. flies forwards, bounces off the top of the arena wall and falls back on the Hardox floor with a clatter! Its still in the game, but its still upside-down! AJ attempts a charge back up the warzone, but Apocalypse is under the inverted wedge! The Welsh wedge charges across the ring, its sights clearly set on the Void! AJ tries desperately to wriggle off the wedge, but its no use! Apocalypse fires its flipper one more time and sits back as S.O.R. bounces into the corner and down into the depths of the Void!

CEASE!

X does not mark the spot, as S.O.R. X gets crossed off the finalists list! :proud:
APOCALYPSE GOES THROUGH TO THE FINAL!

Later on: Back to Rock III VS Q.E. 2!

...that was unexpected, good work Liam :)

I shall jiggle my weapons if BTR gets me on the lifter btw, try and get away :proud:

...that was unexpected, good work Liam :)

I shall raise my flipper if QE2 gets his axe on my top btw, try and deflect the blow :proud:






sorry Joey, again couldnt resist :proud:

Damn you :P Ill just retract it and fire again, straight in the IMARTIJNAMANIDIOT mechanics.

Copy that :proud:

Damn you :P Ill just pull back fast enough so you cant fire in the IJOEYAMANIDIOT mechanics :proud:

really though, good luck Joey :proud:

Yeah, good luck to you too :proud: Should be interesting, at any rate...

*prays Steve will take our copying routine into account when writing the fight*

OMG!!

I beat SOR X!

I really enjoyed that fight, some brilliant writing from Steven there and well done to AJ, I was sure youd win:)

When Tweedledee and Tweedledum are quite finished, we can find our final finalist. :wink:

THE PHOENIX CUP
SEMI-FINALS
BATTLE 2
BACK TO ROCK III Vs Q.E. 2

House Robots - Mr Hyde & Scarlek

Roboteers, stand by...
3...2...1...
ACTIVATE!

Both robots collide in the middle of the arena! A few moments wrigging shows Back to Rock III to be the lower, as it scrapes under one of Q.E. 2s side-skirt! Joey tries to get away, but Martijn drives right underneath his rival and begins nibbling the titanium underbelly with its saw blade! Raising its lifter just a little, Back to Rock storms up the arena and smacks Q.E. 2 into the top corner, causing it to roll upside-down onto the Flame Grill! Almost immediately, Joey fires the axe and self-rights his machine as Martijn comes in for another attack! The two robots waltz around each other briefly before Back to Rock breaks up the dance to charge away into the Void Activation Button! Unfortunately, Q.E. 2 is right on its heel and scrapes its own spatula underneath Back to Rocks rear before it can back away! The flipper fires and, with a little nudge from Joey, Martijns machine tumbles onto its back! Q.E. 2 wastes no time in getting its axe stuck into Back to Rocks underbelly, denting the 5mm titanium a good few times before shunting it out into the open arena! Here, Martijn sees his chance! The electric lifter switches to high gear and gently pushes Back to Rock back onto its wheels in a second! Q.E. 2 tries to get its flipper back underneath, but Martijn proves too quick this time and begins another dance of death with its opponent! A stroke of luck and good driving sees Back to Rock clip Q.E. 2s side, damaging one of those fetching skirts! Irritated more than anything, Joey swings Q.E. 2 into Back to Rocks side and brings down the powerful steel axe! It looks like it has a good grip, but Martijn isnt that bothered! After a brief scuffle for supremecy, Back to Rocks greater traction wins the day by pushing back against Q.E. 2 and wriggling out of the axes grip! Joey quickly strikes his opponents lid again, but only gets a glancing blow! Martijn, deciding to rack up a few Damage points, manouevers his machine under Q.E. 2s side and heads down the arena to the nearest CPZ - Scarleks! Back to Rock slams its rival right into the corner and quickly back away, while the House Robot pins it down and lowers its blowtorch arm! Joey is twiddling every joystick and pressing every button to get Q.E. 2 free, until finally, a flipper fire causes it to jump off of Scarleks scoop! Joey puts his metaphorical pedal to the metal and races out of the CPZ, leaving our rogue Dalek far behind! Meeting Back to Rock near the arena centre, the duo begin scuffling again, each trying to manouever under the other! Q.E. 2 quickly end the stalemate by clipping Back to Rocks side and bringing the axe down on its head once more! Joey tries to wriggle his flipper under the side-skirt, but Martijn isnt going over that easily! The two robots break into a second tug-of-war, of which Back to Rock is the victor once more! Losing his grip on his opponent, Joey swerves Q.E. 2 into one of Back to Rocks rear corners and brings the great axe down again! Martijn begins to push back, but Joey has an idea! Positioning itself, releasing the axe and jerking forwards at the same time, Q.E. 2 butts Back to Rocks rounded rear and scrapes underneath the 5mm ground clearance! Before either driver can even blink, Joey has fired the flipper and sent his rival flopping onto its back! Martijn checks his lifter is in high gear and watches as Back to Rock smoothly rerights itself...right onto the waiting Q.E. 2s flipper! Horrified, Martijn tries to escape, but Joeys axe comes crashing down, pinning the Dutch duellist down on its spatula! Trying to be as careful and quick as possible, Joey guides Q.E. 2 down the arena - straight towards the Void! Martijn is trying every trick in the book to break free and fight back, even using his lifting arm to try and push Q.E. 2s axe away! Unfortunately, no sooner does the hammer start losing its grip than Joey fires it again and regains it! Its rather like watching an arm-wrestling match on wheels! Eventually, the duo reach the corners edge! Martijn is certain he is about to break free and hes right...as Q.E. 2 fires its flipper and sends Back to Rock tumbling down into the purple and yellow swirls of doom!

CEASE!

Back to Rock III rolls out of the contest! Dont worry, though - Martijn will be back to rock again in the Play-Off! :proud:
Q.E. 2 GOES THROUGH TO THE FINAL!

Later on: The Play-Off! Back to Rock III VS S.O.R. X!

How dare Liam and Joey throw around the Big Three of Zlayerz/VED/??? !!!

We will get you! :proud:

*Reads Kodys post*

I just noticed that too.

LOL

EEP

*Runs away*

*Remembers something*

*Comes back*

Tactics:
QE2 has done very well, and is an excellent machine too, so well done Joey:)
This could be a good fight, but the 10mm ground clearance at the sides could be the key. I also have more HP and a more adequate shape for pushing, so I should be OK. Im going to try and get around the sides to throw QE2 onto tis back, then ram in whether he self-rights or not and go for an OOTA or push him down the void. Geat fights from Steven thus far, Im sure these last 2 will be the best:)

Good luck Joey:)

*Runs away*

*telephones handy white van man to enquire about installation of anti Canadians/Dutch/people named Andy device at his home*

I kicked Martijns dutch bottom. AND ID LIKE TO SEE YOU COPY OR MANIPULATE THIS ONE, MASTER COPIER! :P

Seriously, great fight from Steve, and all credit to Marti, it was quite close. and WOOT, IM IN THE FINAL!

TACTICS: I shall make use of my superior maneuvrability to avoid Apocalypses flipper, and go around the sides to axe it. A lot. I shall use the flipper if I am able to get in under the skirts, and clamp him to drive him to his doom, but mainly axe, push, and take advantage of the arena hazards and housies. I shall keep my front to him at all times, and if he shows signs of getting around my sides will back off and come in again.

Good luck, Liam :)

Unfortunately, the man replies that no such device exists.

Seriously, Ill go for QE2 to win this, and Back to Rock to win the playoff. Good fights Steve, and this oughta be one heck of a final.

Given that I was kicked by all 3 of you at some point during my time here, I have to point at you all and go: :lol::lol::lol:

And...I can also give predictions! But sadly not tactics :sad:

Play-Off: SOR X vs. Back To Rock III
For this match, it may be a slight issue to Back To Rock if AJ gets a blow in, but if SOR gets flips, because in order to power its flipper, its ring must be spinning, and that will cause problems, so Ill go for Martijn to win it.

+1>Grand Final: Apocalypse vs. Q.E.2
The two underdogs of this competition, and a tough one to chose from...Ill go with Liam, as he may get Joey out the ring, and he can possibly get around the sides of Q.E.2 and take him out.

Good luck everyone :wink:

«Back to Rock III vs. SOR X»

Hmmm... first of all, Im not too concerned about the weaponry. If it flips me over, Im invertible. The saw blade, I doubt will make an impact on my armouring. So defencivly I should be OK. Offensively, Ill get my rim spun up and have a nice go at slicing up that 7mm Titanium. The skirts and the saw blade should be nice trophies to rip off. :wink:

«Back to Rock III vs. SOR X»

Head for the rim and stall it asap. Without the rim spinning hes ALOT less effective. Try to catch the wheels on the saw blade and from there take it to the pit asap.

Sorry for the delays, chaps! I think its about time we found our bronze medallist, dont you? :)

THE PHOENIX CUP
PLAY-OFF
BACK TO ROCK III Vs S.O.R. X

House Robots - Fawkes & Scream

Roboteers, stand by...
3...2...1...
ACTIVATE!

Missing out on the grand prize clearly hasnt dampened Martijn and AJs spirits, as their machines meet head-to-head in the arena centre! Back to Rock III tries to attack its opponents rear and disable its spinner, but S.O.R. X proves too manoueverable and stays out of harms way. The two dance for a moment, sizing each other up. Martijn is finding it hard to catch AJ and AJ is doubting whether he can get under Martijns skirts at point blank range. Breaking the stalemate, AJ swings S.O.R. around and clips Back to Rocks side with its deadly spinning rim! Back to Rock gets knocked aside, a side panel dinted and a skirt badly sliced! S.O.R. charges back in for a second blow...just what Martijn wants! Turning sharply, Back to Rock takes on the spinner head-on! Both machines are knocked away from each other! Back to Rocks front looks a little scarred, but Martijns gotten what he wanted - the spinner has been slowed to a crawl! As AJ begins revving it up again, Back to Rock comes bounding over for a little payback! S.O.R. tries to scuttle away, but Back to Rock catches a quick blow with its saw blade! It seems to have caused only superficial damage, but its damage nonetheless. A little fancy driving from AJ sees Back to Rock getting a face full of spinner once again! Martijns machine isnt flung far, but S.O.R. is, spinning like a top! Seizing its chance, Back to Rock charges at S.O.R. and ploughs under the side as AJ regains control! Not daring to take his thumbs from the controller, Martijn sends his machine racing across the arena and smack-bang into the nearest wall! S.O.R. tries to get away, but its being pinned by its Netherlandian nemesis! As its saw nibbles away at the paintwork, Back to Rocks lifter comes into play too, tipping S.O.R. up, over and against the barrier! Back to Rock backs away, hoping to get in another ram, but no such luck! S.O.R. simply flops onto its back and heads after the Dutch bot for revenge! Martijn stays well away, racing up the arena and smacking into the Void Activation Button! The ever-familiar siren begins deafening the audience as Back to Rock narrowly avoids a charge from a rerighted S.O.R.! Just missing the Button, S.O.R. swings round to bring the whirling spinner into play! Back to Rock attempts to dodge again, but AJs Infusionalike is too swift! The spinning rim hits the side, knocking Martijns machine away and giving it another torn skirt! S.O.R. hurridly self-rights and swoops in for another onslaught, but Back to Rock is back to life and just misses the deadly blades! The deadly dance begins again and this time, its Back to Rock who takes the lead! Catching S.O.R.s side with its saw buzzing away, Back to Rock jerks around and drives underneath, much to AJs dismay! Digging its wheels in, Back to Rock sets off down the arena, its eyes clearly fixed on the Void! AJ is doing all he can to get off Back to Rocks own wedge, but nothing doing! His two wheels cant get a grip and the weapons are mildly useless against a side attack! At last, the duo reach the south-eastern corner! S.O.R. struggles valiently, but one good shunt from Back to Rock sees it tumbling into the depths of the Void!

CEASE!

Back to Rock returns to the arena centre and twirls in triumph! Martijn looks as pleased as Punch at winning our bronze medal! Hes so pleased in fact, that hes just rammed Back to Rock into the Grim Beepers side and toppled him over! Outraged at the treatment of his master, Scream charges into Back to Rocks side and sends the Dutch destroyer soaring into the air! Just because you can beat S.O.R. doesnt mean you can beat Death, my son! :wink:

CEASE, YOU TWITS!

S.O.R. X blows its Xtra chance and is Xcommunicated for good. :proud:
BACK TO ROCK III WINS THIRD PLACE!

Later on: the Grand Final! Apocalypse VS Q.E. 2!

Yet another awesome fight from the master :)

So gutted I came along too late for PTT...

Agreed Liam - I was reading PTT5 a few months before I decided to join, thinking Im going to enter this competition, and take part in this brilliant competition, and win it (I was hoping :proud:) but alas, I read that Steven had retired and new that with VFT, I wasnt going to enter PTT6

I endorse the above comments. :proud:

I wish PTT would come back... :sad:

Well, this is it. Todays the day youve all been waiting for, and two people have partially dreaded. Yes, its time to crown the Phoenix Cup champion! :proud:

Now, dim the lights and sharpen the saws. Its time to descend to the warzone for the last time...

THE PHOENIX CUP
GRAND FINAL
APOCALYPSE Vs Q.E. 2

House Robots - Dulcy & The Taxman

Roboteers, stand by...
3...2...1...
ACTIVATE!

For the last time this series, our two finalists charge out of their spotlights, colliding head-on in the arena centre! To Liams delight, Apocalypse proves the lower of the two flippers and fires the great flipping arm! Q.E. 2s front jumps into the air, but Joeys machine remains upright! Apocalypse quickly comes in for a side attack, but Q.E. 2 deftly darts out of the way! The next few moments prove intense as our finalists size each other up, thinking how best to impliment their strategies. Just as Apocalypse makes another drive for Q.E. 2s sides, Joey pulls his pride and joy out the way and narrowly clips its rivals head with that terrible axe! Infuriated, Apocalypse barges into Q.E. 2s side like a rampant rhino! Liam hasnt gotten underneath, but he has given Q.E. 2 a good hard knock! Joey quickly spins Q.E. 2 around and clips Apocalypses bonce a second time! Liams launcher brushes this off, however, and comes in for another charge! This time, the flippers aim is true and Q.E. 2 is thrown onto its back in a burst of CO2! Apocalypse manouevers itself and pushes Q.E. 2 towards the nearest wall, but Joey didnt get this far by being pushed around! Mr McConnell activates his axe and flicks Q.E. 2 back onto its wheels before even reaching the barrier! Apocalypse tries to get back underneath, but Q.E. 2 is proving a slippery customer! Just as Liam starts to get frustrated, he finds Q.E. 2 at his robots side, bringing down that mighty hammer! This time, the axe gets a grip and a brief tug-of-war ensues between the two finalists! Q.E. 2s grip is holding, but Apocalypse is proving the stronger with six wheels to four! At last, a burst of speed has Apocalypse breaking the axes hold and darting up the arena! Q.E. 2 follows close behind and the duo find themselves tussling near the Flame Grill! A mighty column of fire illuminates our finalists as Q.E. 2 gets in another hammer blow! This time, Apocalypse manages to shake it off and darts forwards for some space - maybe a little too far forwards! Q.E. 2 stays right on Liams tail and rear-ends the bulked-up Bulldog Breed just as they near Dulcys CPZ! Realizing hes scraped under that rear skirt, Joey fires his front spatula and flicks Apocalypses back end off the ground! Bringing the great axe downward on its rival, Q.E. 2 shunts Liams launcher straight into Dulcys waiting claws! The reptilian House Robot swings Apocalypse into her corner and lowers her head! Flames erupt from her metallic mouth, lightly sizzling that smart blue paintjob! Q.E. 2, taking full advantage of the situation, clatters into the Void Activation Button and dashes back to Dulcys corner to watch the show! Unfortunately, Apocalypse is holding up fine and dandy against Dulcys flame breath and, with a bit of frantic wriggling, the rounded robot finally escapes the House Robots clutches - though, not without giving her a quick flick in revenge, of course! The battle is back on and our two finalists are once again dancing near the Flame Grill! This time, Apocalypse gets the upper hand, catching Q.E. 2s side and tossing it onto its back! Almost instantly, however, Joeys machine self-rights and swings round for another attack! Liam brings the battle closer to the arena centre and the duo dance once more! Q.E. 2 tries getting another axe blow in, but misses, giving Apocalypse an ideal chance to swoop under the sides and throw it over again! Apocalypse lines up its shot and charges for the nearest wall, but once again, Q.E. 2 flicks itself upright and out of harms way! Starting to get annoyed, Liam goes for a full frontal assault, ploughing under Q.E. 2s front before Joey can manouever away! The flipper fires and Apocalypse sends its rival upside-down yet again! Ploughing underneath, Apocalypse ignores the arena walls for now and instead rams Q.E. 2 down the warzone - right into the Taxmans horrible flywheel! Sparks fly as the king-sized Killerhurtz self-rights into the CPZ, its side now bearing a rather nasty scrape! Luckily for Joey, the Taxman isnt quite as hefty as Dulcy and so Q.E. 2 is able to wriggle away before any more serious damage can be inflicted! Right now, Joey is starting to feel as though hes on the ropes - especially since Apocalypse has barged in and flipped him again! Liam aims for one last flip, but Q.E. 2 proves to have plenty of life remaining as its axe rolls it back onto its wheels! A quick dart away from an Apocalypse charge and our finalists find themselves locked in another deadly dance! With near perfect timing, Joey fires his axe just as Q.E. 2 meets Apocalypses side and gets a good solid grip on his rounded rival! A second tug-of-war breaks out as Joey and Liam fight to stay in the game! You can even hear the squealing of the tyres as their machines try and prove their might! At last, Apocalypse appears to be getting the upper hand! Q.E. 2 struggles to maintain its grip, but a quick shunt from Liam sees it being thrust rear-first into Killeidascope Corner! The finalists are separated in a shower of sparks, as the mighty multicoloured drum knocks Q.E. 2 aside! Those titanium and polycarb side panels are starting to look rather scrappy, not to mention the beautiful naval paintwork! Q.E. 2 tries to manouever to Apocalypses side and gets in another glancing blow with that incredible axe! Apocalypse, however, is ready to call it a day! Clipping Q.E. 2s side, Liams launcher sweeps under the 10mm ground clearance, but the flipper remains dormant! Liam instead pours on the gas and careers across the arena towards the Void! Joey frantically tries to escape, firing both axe and flipper to rock Q.E. 2 off the wedge! The desperate ploy pays off and Q.E. 2 rocks itself onto solid ground - right on the edge of the corner zone! Joey quickly attempts an escape, but its all for naught! Apocalypse gives one last shunt and Q.E. 2 is sent tumbling down into the screaming abyss! Liam jumps for joy as he fires his flipper again and again! The day is won and the Phoenix cup is his at last!

CEASE!

Despite a few wise investments, Q.E. 2 goes bankrupt in the end! Ah, well. Its only money, Joey. :proud:
APOCALYPSE WINS THE PHOENIX CUP!

THE FINAL STANDINGS:
1st = APOCALYPSE (Liam Eliot)
2nd = Q.E. 2 (Joey McConnell)
3rd = BACK TO ROCK III (Martijn Benschop)

Well, what can I say? Thank you so much to everyone whos entered and commented. It felt good to be back in the tournament game, and even better to actually finish one again. :proud:

Although the return of PTT or a brand new major from me is highly unlikely in the future, I certainly wouldnt rule out another brief contest like this again. That is, if you actually want one. :wink:

At any rate, thank you to all and to all, a good night. :)

Well done Liam, and awesome fights Steve. :)

Any McGregor tourneys will be a fantastic addition to the FRA, particularly if I get to enter! :proud:

Oh balls. :proud: Well, quod erat demonstratum in the end...well done Liam and Steve, on what has been rather a good little tournament. Excellent, Id say.

Awesome tournie... Would it be too soon to reserve a place for any future McGregor tournies now?:)

OMG, I won!

Brilliant fight Steve, that was the best fight Ive been in and I enjoyed this torunament extremely, and not just because I won

Commiserations to Joey and everyone else, and congrats to Steve :)

G-R-E-A-T Steven! I could live without PTT when you continue to deliver things like this every so often :proud:

and w00t, third place!
