Blue Blurs for Life!
With the announcement of the grand exhibition between @cR WoundCowboy and @FOREVER KING, expectations were at an all-time high. These two players are among those to be considered champions in the NRS scene, but while some were expecting a constant trade in wins and losses between the two, others predicted that the course of the exhibition would be extremely one-sided. The latter predictions were fueled by the changes their main characters (Shinnok, Kung Lao and Predator) had undergone since Cowboy claimed victory at EGL Dallas in August.

As the two champions took to their respective thrones atop the Yomi stage, we felt as if the ensuing clash had brought us to a parallel dimension. One would think that you cannot hold your breath forever, but that seemed to be exactly what the audience was doing as Cowboy and King endured blow after blow, victory after victory, until the score reached 9-8 in favor of King, who decided to close out the seventeenth game with Kung Lao's Brutality in an attempt to demoralize his opponent.

Cowboy remained undaunted, however, and responded back with such ferocity that King was forced to retreat to Predator (Hish-Qu-Ten). The score was now tied at nine wins apiece, and the last match of the exhibition would come down to one final round...during which Cowboy edged out his opponent to seize the ultimate victory, dethroning the almighty Forever King and turning him into YOMI Burger King!

The invasion of Yomi Gaming has been a success for cR WoundCowboy! We congratulate him and are thankful for the show that both he and King provided! No doubt that the tirade of emotions we all experienced will forever be embedded within our hearts, as will the memory of their matches.

And now YOU, the reader, can relive this legendary exhibition by watching the video included below! Post-match interview can be seen after the final match, but be warned: our cowboy comes into the interview with guns slinging (forgive the Erron Black pun).

What followed the exhibition was a bonus MKX bracket in which the top three players would receive Yomi memorabilia in the form of hats and t-shirts. The prizes have been claimed by @YOMI_SLAYER (third place), @YOMI MITYEAP (second place) and his brother @YOMI DJT, our tournament winner! It seems Denzell is here to remind everyone that when it comes to the Yomi locals, it is he who holds dominion over us all!

I was hoping to see some salt from King on stream after all that self assured shit talking. Not being humble is one thing, but to discredit Wound like that for SO long, I bet this really stung.

This was a great show, props to all involved. Big thing for the community and I'm glad it was hype and classy and fun. KP and Mike were perfect on commentary, the crowd was clearly into it, and the play was incredible!

Congrats to Cowboy, well played.

The only argument that can be made now is that shinnok is clearly broken still ;) nerf predator too though on some real shit bruh
