Dark Tower 6/24

[VivaLaFlamme]

decided to go today with Trish. Origionally there was 32 people but lots of people dropped and we ended with 27 so only a top 8

Round 1: Andrew Snyder(Heatseekers)
I started off pretty well, but couldnt draw a move when i needed it. Eventually he went Blatant Chokehold-Good ol Fashioned mugging.

PL: 0-1

Round 2: Mike Anstett(Home Team)

I will admit whenever I play Mike I end up topdecking like hell. I stopped everything he threw at me, lost my hand ot feelin lucky, but still ended up winning.

PW: 1-1

Round 3: Tom McKelvey(Chris Jericho)
Very good match. It was back anbd forth, but eventually I Trish Kicked something of his he went to sustain and I Scruped for the win. Pulling Would you please off the summer was reaaaaaly good tho.

PW: 2-1

Round 4: Matt Yanega(Shane O'Mac)
I ended up without an Elbow in my hand and didnt draw one if the 3 turns i got. He high risked off on me.

PL: 2-2

Round 5: Joe Daguire(Batista)
I realized I had to beat him with moves since trish kicks are useless as reversals vs him Eventually even tho I botched and put a balanced under a broken I had exactly 7 other That's Cards and pinned him with thats it.

PW: 3-2

I did not make the cut. I did, however win a Teddy Long signing Appearance which im willing to sell lol

Next week is Axess if im not mistaken, though everyonell be at origins

[Jayson"Phonics"]

Sadly the last Afterburn tournament till septmeber and since i didnt work on anyone new went with Home Team

Round 1 Greg's LAISE
Usually mad matchup since I can't reduce his hand but Bitters and Old School minimizes him to only minusing me by 1 which products and another pysch push back up so it wasnt all that bad and this time I managed to stop the first couple moves and got my own off sooner. PLayed Denville which hurt him badly as he lost about 12 cards thankfully all power reversals. Put up a lot better fight this time as I squeezed out a good chunk of fort but he drew like a fiend everytime I reduced his hand to 0 on his turn he draws Hoglog each time to replenish his hand lol. He lost all 3 trademarks early to volleying which helped too lol eventually lost to a big move
0-1

Round 2 Flamer's Flaming Trish
Of course Captain Whiner starts the game with I'm gonna lose I stand no chance here comes 0-2 etc bullshit which really pisses me off cause of course he draws godly and I get whooped
0-2

Round 3 for Someone's Junk Fuuu Dog
Little trouble with trash talking and jimmy so I bled through jimmy with straight clothesline but eat a neckbreaker which goes through then he throws another move so backlash it which helped big time. After about 4 tries at the straight clothesline it goes through since he volley'ed it a few times losing Thump Dynamic and THE Finisher so I was somewhat relieved. I get a good enough drawing going to use my ability to recycle escape moves and eventually after we both have no hand i get a face stretch and it goes downhill for him from there. Took back handshake to get my hand up, drew a spinebuster, escape move, a volley this and intensity. I have exactly ten fort now since backlash and clothesline were removed by Break it out and a volley this and face stretch were in ring area lol. From here he gets spinebustered followed by Take your own medicine then atomic powerslam get stun, atomic spinebuster gets me stun then atomic driver for the win, he doesnt even bother popping through all these years as he was just stunned from the turn around ass kicking he got.
1-2

Round 4 Craig's Million Dollar Man
I love how many times I play Bitter Rivals and Pysch first and people still try to old shool AND play a title. Bitter screws his pre badly since it usually is Trash, Jimmy, Million Dollar belt, champ is here, us title old school and you will witness history. He makes me shuffle in reach with Trash but I pick another one up that was in ringside on my turn and stop his first move. I get through Jimmy but his wrap around goes through and he atomic bearhugs me losing his hand pretty much lol he uses his abilty removing bearhug and tries to hit that big chain submission and I backlash him. From there I go to town on him using Intensity a few times to pound him down.
2-2

Round 5 Joe Dugair's Hurrifriends
Been wanting this matchup badly cause he mouthed off that he can cream the Hometeam with Hurrifriends. He nets a 2 handsize which was Shining Wizard and Eye of the Hurricane. Just go to work on him and win with a Victory Roll.
3-2

So I keep my streak of going every 5 round tournament with Hometeam with a winning record at least lol. Changes made helped alot but yet to have faced a GM superstar since making those changes. Missed the cut by 2 spots oh well
