Pena Dura taught me one thing....better to be feared than respected.
Due to Max's absence(and a surprise win a couple of weeks ago) Catwoman avoided the painful grip of Bane's clutches for 10 weeks. No one can out run fate forever though, not even the world's greatest thief. Sadly the cat's back was broken and Max defeated me in the grand finals to win his 23rd GBS. While that set wasn't close you can't accuse him of having no worthy challengers this week. The winners finals was a repeat of last week, PPJ vs. Max, even the same match...Bane vs. Hawkgirl. PPJ was determined and played extremely lame and careful. The cat and mouse game went down to the wire, with Max edging out victory with an elbow drop all Bane players should apologize for. Later that evening at Tony's Max explained to us the secret to his success the past two weeks...eating beans before the tournament. Will this knowledge inspire other Chicago players try Max's suggestion of a pre GBS burrito?
The switch to 3/5(if there's low entrants) was proven to be a success this week, as two different sets switched from a 2-0 lead to a 3-2 loss. Coming off a heart breaking loss to Saucy Jack, Rational Jim was a man possessed as he demolished Hruza Da Bruza in 2 games straight. On another week this would have been a clear win for Jim but on this day in this format Hruza was able to focus on the power of his sweater, adjust and tie it up, then finally win a close final game to move on. PPJ and I continued our shitter animal girl rivalry(this was our third set of this match in 3 weeks), with PPJ defeating me 2 straight games before losing 3-2. This week there was no controversy over whiffed supers and no salt from a 3-0 loss. We respectfully rode home agreeing our waifus are bills.
TBM/Limbo/Twisted showed up for a rare 2 weeks in a row, apparently skipping classes to play Injustice(a smart choice). He would defeat Jeremiah in an Aquaman mirror, a matchup so boring it was one of the only played off stream, and then upset Saucy Jack's Superman just to complete the meta.

Thanks to everyone who continues to watch our stream and show up to the event. It is a shame so many of the weeklies in our scene are winding down. We look forward to putting on this show every week and will continue to keep IGAU hype alive until MKX. Till next week.
