Coming Soon: The Battle Zone Tournament!

[The Doctor]

Ladies and gentlemen, it's that time of year again. It's time to dust off your keyboards, crack open your comics, and get ready to debate which super is superior!

JGlass and I have been running the Battle Zone Tournament for two years straight now, and twice in a row we've won Tournament of the Year. It'll be hard to top that, so we racked our brains and got to thinking of a way to inject new life into the BZT.

What we came up with: Tag Teams. That's right, this year, the BZT will contain nothing but two-on-two matches. Watch as heroes and villains are forced to work together to take down another equally-powerful team! This adds a whole new and hopefully exciting dynamic to the BZT format, one we're both really excited for.

The tournament starts October 22nd. Until then, we will be revealing more information slowly to whet your appetites, including the identities of the 128 competitors that will step into the ring this year.

To get everyone excited, we can confirm five names that will be competing:

Spoiler

Luke Cage

Scarecrow

Beatrix Kiddo (The Bride)

Light Yagami

Hulk Hogan

Get ready, and get excited!

 

[Mac Attack]

So pumped for this. Always an amazing tournament.

 

[Coco]

I'm starting 24 now. I'll be ready should Jack Bauer come up.

Man, too bad the guys running this thing aren't geniuses, otherwise they would have definitely included Jack Bauer

Back me with Buffy. I still can't believe she lost to the fucking Joker last time. As JGlass would point out, this forum is filled with SEXIST PIGS.

 

[JGlass]

A Jack Bauer/Buffy team would be an exciting one, now wouldn't it? Hopefully they both make it onto the roster.

I guess you'll just have to wait until we post the roster later this week.

 

[Dirk]

Whatcha gonna do when my sex tape runs over you?

 

[Dan Severn's Moustache]

I marked out for Scarecrow.

 

[blue_dragon]

Dunno what this is but it sounds like one of those annual things that everyone loves.

I can't wait to find out.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Random teams? Selecting during an LD? Eh?

Indeed. Right now we're penciling in October 15th as draw day for the teams. In the mean time, here's three more names for all you happy people.

Expect 10 more tomorrow.

 

[FlexAmerican Dynamite]

OH MY GAWD Hit Girl.

 

[ScreaminNormanSmiley]

Hopefully a ladder manages to take Hogan out in this tournament. In fact, that would be a fantastic competitor.

 

[Uncle Phatso]

Hulk Hogan??? We all know only one hulk can be in this..... smash

 

[JGlass]

Here are the 10 names as promised. Who's excited for some comic book characters?

Spoiler

Iron Man

Captain America

Hawkeye

Wolverine. Uugh.

 

[Dirk]

Those ten names are great. Actually powerful and actually recognisable.

 

[JGlass]

I'm waiting for Thor to get confirmed.

You're gonna be waiting a long ass time.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

You're gonna be waiting a long ass time.

Why wouldn't he be in it?

 

[JGlass]

I'm looking at the list, and your friend's name isn't on it. Actually, your name isn't on it either.

Oh, hello Mr. Stark, welcome to the BattleZone. Your table is ready.

 

[Remix]

Why wouldn't he be in it?

He's a God. Gods make for dull arguments.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

Ah that makes sense. Disappointing, but it makes sense.
