All right!
This weekend we kick off the second Showdown Tournament with two nights in a row. Here’s a few links you may or may not care about.

Announcement Video - Posted this last week.
Tournament Standings - Nothing’s happened yet!
Predictions ← This is probably the most relevant one

Pay special mind to that last link for the predictions up there. They will close a bit before the show goes live on Friday. Unfortunately since this is a round robin tournament Challonge does not accept predictions. It’s piss easy to set up though so I did it myself with a simple google form. This means you can’t easily see how much points someone has gathered so I added a spreadsheet to help you calculate that if you want your predictions to make sense for whatever reason (lol)

Week 137: FIGHT! - (Twitch VOD)
Week 138: Knockout - (Twitch VOD)

Yup, that’s two updates in one post, just in case there’s confusion. The below also includes the results of both nights.

After two nights we have the following standings

It’s too early to really say anything. It’s just two rounds after all. The first mathematical eliminations can only happen after Round 4, After all. What’s interesting with Block A is that Fomore ranks so low. This is calculated automatically due to tie breakers. It’s why Harmony is still ranked 3 despite also taking an upset loss against Johnny, but she has the tie-breaker over Bobson.

With Block B it’s more clear-cut. While there have been some surprising results, such as the destruction of Thunder by Mr. Shakedown and KAG being this dominant (I was personally sure he’d do well, but I didn’t predict this.) However, we’re still only two rounds in.

Here’s the current standings of the predictions.

You can also look at the tournament on Challonge. If you are reading this after the tournament has progressed past the first two rounds be aware that the following link contains spoilers: Challonge page

Tournament Standings (Don’t click this if you’re reading this for the first time after the Tournament has progressed further.)

We’re entering the third round of the second ShowdownTournament. So far there’s no danger of anyone getting elimminated and we’ve had some upsets already so anything goes. But depending on what happens this week the stakes might be higher next week at the PPV.

Here’s the card for the next show.

#1-4 Showdown Tournament Block A - Round 3
Bobson Dugnutt (2) vs. Cocademon (0)
Austin Ramon (0) vs. Harmony (2)
Not Your God (4) vs. Fomore (2)
Johnny Fuckyou (2) vs. Angus McMutton (4)

#5 Singles Match

Sgt. Sprinkles (2) vs. Harley Havik (2)
Sapp Ledesma (2) vs. Mr. Shakedown (4)

#11 Legion Tag Championships
The Fun Gang vs. Pineapple Pizza

Week 139: With An Armbar - (Twitch Vod)

No one actually won with an armbar

Tournament Standings (Don’t click this if you’re reading this for the first time after the Tournament has progressed further.)

All right, in a Round Robin Tournament with seven rounds statistical eliminations come at the earliest in round 4 and there’s a few people here, of course, who might lose all chances of winning if they lose another match. These people are Austin Ramon, Cocademon, Thunder and Family Man. It’s a bit surprising for me to see the former three in this position but I guess it had to hit someone. In addition to them having to win every single match to stand a chance there’s also tie-breakers to consider.

Austin was beat by NYG, Harmony and Angus. NYG would have to lose every single match going forward for Austin to remain a viable contender.
Cocademon was beat by Fomore, Angus and Bobson and has a little more leeway but he HAS to beat NYG.
Thunder was beat by Mr. Shakedown, Sgt. Sprinkles and Abby Lawrence. Easy, just win every match and somehow Shakedown has to lose them all.
Family Man, well, he’s been beat by Abby,Harley and KAG. He has to win every match going forward while KAG has to lose them all. Sounds doable.

But that’s not all. Fomore is also in Danger. NYG has a tie-breaker over them. If NYG wins his next match and Fomore loses then Fomore is out too because they can’t catch up anymore in terms of points.
The same is true for Sapp Ledesma. Mr. Shakedown has the tie-breaker over him. So in order for Sapp to have a chance at winning he needs to win every match from now on and Shakedown has to lose at least one.
KAG also has a tie-breaker over Harley Havik who is much in the same position.

So in summary, we have the following people who might be eliminated next week:
Austin Ramon (0) has to win all of his matches and NYG (6) has to lose all of his.
Cocademon (0) has to win all of his matches and Bobson (4) has to lose at least one.
Cock Thunder (0) has to win all of his matches and Abby (4) has to lose at least one while Mr. Shakedown (6) can’t get another win.
Family Man (0) has to win all of his matches and Abby (4) has to lose at least one while KAG (6) can’t get another win.
Fomore (2) is eliminated he loses and if NYG (6) wins one more match.
Sapp Ledesma (2) is eliminated if he loses if Mr. Shakedown (6) wins one more match.
Harley Havik (2) is eliminated if he loses and if KAG (6) wins one more match

And finally, here’s the standings of the predictions. 24 out of 56 matches have taken place, that’s not even half so anything still goes here.

Week 140: REMAIN VIOLENT

#1 Seven Deadly Pins
Surfborg vs. Manic vs. Samio vs. N.A.Robutt vs. Tara Milleneon vs. Florida Man vs. Hayley Simmons vs. Pig Destroyer (c)

Angus McMutton (4) vs. Harmony (4)

Ricc 2 Thicc vs. Pantha (c)

Week 140: REMAIN VIOLENT - (Twitch VOD)

Standings: Only click this link if the tournament has not already progressed past this point

[spoiler]

In Block A we got a much more crowded top field with four people having 6 points. This also means less people are statistically eliminated. The only one completely out right now is Cocademon.

In Block B it’s a bit different. Shakedown and KAG are dominating and half the block is eliminated as a result. Sapp, Harley, Thuner and Family Man are all out. Abby is just behind the two leaders of the Block and still has a very real chance while Sprinkles is once more on the chopping block. He could be out as soon as next show.

Elimination Candidates for the next show are:

Block A:
Austin: He as to win all his matches, and NYG hs to lose all of his. As does Angus.
Fomore: Also has to win all of their matches and NYG has to lose all of his. Additionally, Johnny Fuckyou has to lose all of his as well.

Block B:
Sprinkles: He’s out if KAG wins one more match. Shakedown CAN get one more win, but Sprinkles needs to get the tie-breaker over him.

In case you don’t know how this is calculated: Take the current points and add the potential points that can still be earned (three rounds remain, so that’s 6) and then also consider tie-breakers.[/spoiler]

And finally, here’s the current standings for the predictions:

Week 141: Elimination
Tournament is heating up now. Many of the matches have consequences on stuff besides them. So I put a write up for that after the card.

#1-4 Showdown Tournament 2 - A-Block Round 5
Harmony (4) vs. Cocademon (0)
Fomore (2) vs. Austin Ramon (2)
Bobson Dugnutt (6) vs. Johnny Fuckyou (6)
Angus McMutton (6) vs Not Your God (6)

#5 Tag Championship No. 1 Contender Match
Criminal Sanity (EGO and Undeddie) vs. School of Slam

#6-9 Showdown Tournament 2 - B-Block Round 5
Family Man (0) vs. Mr. Shakedown (8)
Sapp Ledesma (2) vs. Harley Havik (2)
KILL ANIME GIRLS (8) vs. Thunder (2)
Abby Lawrence (6) vs. Sgt. Sprinkles (4)

#10 Underworld Darkweight Championship
Anna May vs. Danny V5 (c)

The drama in A-Block is more or less obvious.
Harmony is likely to get the win against Cocademon, or so we think. We need to remember that Cocademon came in second in his block in the first Showdown Tournament. So he could easily get a win in against Harmony and even though Coca is eliminated already he can still be a spoiler Beating Harmony would put her in deep trouble and right on the chopping block. She hasn’t faced NYG, one of the fore-runners yet so she’ll have the best chances if NYG beats Angus but Harmony manages to beat NYG for the tie-breaker. She’ll then have to continue winning, of course.

Then we got Fomore and Austin. Now, I didn’t know this when I wrote the results for last show but Austin is de facto eliminated. Because in order to win the tournament he has to not only win all his matches, but neither NYG nor Angus can win another. Problem is, Angus and NYG fight on the same show. So one of them will win. Sorry Austin. However, Fomore still got a faint chance of making a comeback. If they win all their matches, and NYG land Johnny Fuckyou lose all of theirs it’s possible. NYG and Johnny fought already so that’s not a wrench that can get thrown into that. But there’s so much that can go wrong.

Then we got a big one: Two the four people on top with 6 points right now and and two strong strikers face off: Bobson Dugnutt and Johnny Fuckyou. At this point both of them are still safe from elimination. But as mentioned in the previous paragraph, the fate of others relies on the outcome of this match too. If Johnny Fuckyou wins Fomore is instantly eliminated no matter if they win or lose against Austin.

Finally. we have another match of two sixers against each other: Angus and NYG. No matter the outcome of this match: Austin is eliminated. Manwhile, if NYG wins Fomore is also eliminated. So while Angus is fighting the battle for himself Fomore is sure to watch this one.

Now, in B-Block the situation is more precarious. While A-Block has four people with six points, A-Block has two with eight. So the overall gap in points is much larger. Half the people (Sapp, Harley, Thunder, Family Man) are already eliminated.

Family Man vs. Mr. Shakedown is one of those matches where perhaps, Family Man can shine as the glorious spoiler. He nearly beat Shakedown in a regular match a while ago. Though, he did go crunk mode for that one. If Shakedown wins then Sgt. Sprinkles will be on real thin ice. Because if he wins one more after that Sprinkles is out even if he wins on this show.

Sapp and Harley are essentially having an exhibition here. Both are already out, unfortunately. But there’s potential for a great match here.

KAG is out to murder Thunder. Thunder is already eliminated as well. But he has to win for Sgt. Sprinkles to have a chance. Given the friendly rivalry between SHA-MO and RBF I’m sure Thunder will fight extra hard to give Sprinkles that chance but he’d have to become the first person to defeat KAG in this tournament.

Finally, we got Abby vs. Sprinkles. This is do or die for the latter as he’ll be eliminated if KAG wins. Shakedown can win one more match over the course of the tournament but it’s obviously better for Sprinkles if he does not.But Abby also really needs to win, especially if Shakedown or KAG also win their matches. Catching up to them will only get harder and she’s yet to face either of them.

Week 141: Elimination - (Twitch VOD)

Time for the standings after the show!

Only click this link if you’re not watching from the future, as it’s updated after every round


With round 5 behind us we are now nearing the end. There’s only two more rounds to go. Here’s the people who are still alive and those who might be eliminated soon.

A-Block:
Angus McMutton (8)
Bobson Dugnutt (8)
Johnny Fuckyou (6)
Harmony Gray (6)
Not Your God (6) - Dead Man Walking

There’s only four more points to gain, so everyone who has below 4 or someone higher as a tie-breaker over them is out.
Angus and Bobson are safe for now. They sit at the top of the block, but not quite as comfortably as the top two in B-Block.
Angus has yet to face Bobson and Fomore, while Bobson still has Angus and Austin ahead of him.

NYG, Johnny and Harmony could still win, but they’ll have to win both of their remaining matches while Angus and Bobson have to lose at least one. However, this isn’t accounting for tie-breakers yet.

NYG was beaten by Bobson AND Angus. Since both of them have yet to face each other and one of them will get 10 points guaranteed, NYG might not technically be eliminated yet, but he is a dead man walking. No matter what happens he has no chance of getting enough points to win the tournament due to the tie-breakers at play. The same fate that has befallen Austin after Round 4.

Johnny Fuckyou was beaten by Bobson but has a victory over Angus, so if Angus loses one of his matches but beats Bobson then Johnny can still win the block if he doesn’t lose anymore while Bobson is not allowed to win one more time. Johnny has yet to face Austin Ramon and Cocademon. Given their records his chances aren’t too bad, but Austin decided he wants to be the big spoiler so Johnny needs t obe careful, and I’m sure Cocademon also wants to at leaste finish with one win.

Harmony lost to Angus but beat Bobson in the inverse of Johnny, for her to succeed Bobson needs to beat Angus but lose his other match. And Angus has to lose both of his remaining matches. Her remaining opponents are Fomore and NYG. Going by the pure statistics of this tournament alone she should be able to beat Fomore, NYG might not be that easy. But Fomore is sure to put up a fight too.

B-Block
Mr. Shakedown (10)
KILL ANIME GIRLS (10)
Abby Lawrence (8)

Since there’s only four more points to gain but the top-field is smaller (and thus has more points) everyone with less than 6 points is out. Or if either of the top 2 have a tie-breaker over them.

Well, we got two extremely dominant people right on top here. Neither have been defeated yet, but they’ve yet to face each other.
Mr. Shakedown and KAG are safe at least until that happens. Shakedowns other remaining opponent is Sgt. Sprinklez while KAG’s is Abby Lawrence.

Here’s the thing with Abby: She might only be one win behind the two top guys. However, Mr. Shakedown has the tie-breaker over her. So he’d have to lose both of his remaining matches. The only way for Abby to win is if KAG beats Shakedown but is defeated by Abby. Because, yes, Abby has yet to face KAG. Her other remaining opponent is Harley Havik. Abby is definitely fighting upwards here but she still has a chance, even if it looks to be a slim one.
