"Bow to your Master!" AK/BYS Smarr wins AKA #10!

Smarrgasm

What's a Smarrgasm?
Friday night brought about another of the weekly tournaments from the deep south players in Atlanta. The tenth installment of the Atlanta Kombat Arena would feature 17 of Atlanta's best doing battle in Injustice: Gods Among Us. The champion of the past three weeks, BYS Smarr, was looking to make it four in a row while others were looking to spoil the party for the dictator.

In Winner's Finals we saw another instance of a growing rivalry that is seen in many Top 3's for AKA in Trepound vs Smarr. The set would be insanely close with each using multiple characters including Tre's Catwoman and Smarr's newly minted Aquaman. The set would come down the the very last hit as Smarr dropped a crucial combo with his Aquaman that would seal his fate and give Trepound the 3-2 and a pop off as he struck the walls of Reno's house with a resounding LET'S GO!

Smarr would be set down to do salty commentary as he waited for his next oppoenent from the Losers semifinals match between Reno Racks and Ichokeonkush. Reno would attempt to dodge the mirror match and catch Kush of guard with Batgirl. However it would not work as Kush stayed solid. Reno would switch and force the issue in Game 2 making it 1-1 after some sick use of Up Batarang. Kush however would take the lead and hold on in Game 3 for advance 2-1 into Loser's Finals.

Smarr vs Kush. Kush was riding the great tournament he was having so far as Smarr was coming off a soul crushing defeat in Winner's Finals. Who would move on to face Tre? The start was a switch of characters from Kush as he started off with Solomon Grundy. Smarr would stick with his Adam. The game would be insanely close as Kush made some great reads with the grappling power of Grundy, but Smarrs runaway still held strong for Game 1. Kush would then make a swap right back to the Dark Knight but Smarr kept his defensive strategy on point to advance 3-0.

Grand Finals was upon us. Trepound was in the Winner's side. Smarr coming from Loser's and out for some serious revenge. The set would start with Smarr leading with Oceanman and Tre trying to channel his inner GGA 16 Bit to make it Catwoman winning on consecutive nights (Disclaimer:Tre was not in cosplay like Bit). Game 1 would come down to the wire and a timely clash and two From the Deep's would close out Game 1 for Smarr. The climb had begun. Game 2 would look insanely similar but this time Trait and d1 trident rush came to Smarr's rescue giving him a 2-0 lead. Hawkgirl was on the cards for Game 3 as Tre was done feeling Catty. Smarr would have trouble dealing with the pressure and a MB B3 error would spell doom for Smarr in Game 3 as Tre mace charged to a 2-1 score in the set. Smarr was now the one to swap personas as he reached back to his Black Adam. The game would come down to the last 5 seconds and Smarr would close it out in a time out with a push block that saved him yet again. The reset was now completed 3-1. 0-0 and back into we go. Game 1 would be a straight rematch but a more dominating match from Smarr to take the outright lead 1-0. The Cat was out of the bag in Game 2 though as Tre took a big life lead and looked like he might even up the set. Smarr however channeled his inner Real master and Warchild using the teleporter on the Fortress of Solitude to get meterless launching divekicks to complete a crazy comeback and go up 2-0 and be on the verge of victory. Game 3 would be a game mostly controlled by Tre as he used his jump 2 increasingly to control much of the match and keep hope alive at 2-1. Game 4 would start off with neither player getting first hit for the first 15 seconds. That alone showed the defensive and patient set at hand. Smarr would take the life lead and just hold on to it mercilessly using his trait time and time again and closed out the set with the orbs as well. 3-1 was the score after the reset spelling victory for Smarr in the Atlanta Kombat Arena again.

BYS Smarr has now won four consecutive AKA's and six of the overall ten. He has exemplified his mastery of the local tournament scene in Atlanta it seems. However, hidden challengers still lurk in the depths of the metro area in Saltface and Pig of the Hut and possibly some surprises from the Atlanta Kombat Arena in the event of possible online realm challengers. Who knows when these challengers will get to join in the festivities. You will have to wait and see. For now however, Smarr will get to relish in his prowess as major tournaments continue to creep closer week by week. Who knows what will occur when they finally arrive? As always, thanks for tuning in to the Atlanta Kombat Arena be sure to follow the channel for future broadcasts and shoutouts to AK Reno_Racks for being the best host and guy in the community!
