August 2019 Archmage Tournament

Post by Max Lager »

The August 2019 Archmage Tournament will be held on Sunday, August 18th at 9:00pm Eastern! The format will (likely) be double elimination (depending on entrants), and late entrants have no more than 5 minutes to arrive. Seeding will begin at 9:05pm, and casting will begin at 9:10pm.

Seeding will be based on the most recent RoK rankings. Early registration will cut off on Friday, August 16th at 8:55pm ET. Any late registrants or walk-ins will automatically be ranked below early registrants. Registrants tied with the same ranking will be seeded by WoL.

Please post your registrations as replies to this thread. Good luck everyone!

Second place will also take home an additional prize in the form of a newly minted Keeper's Blessing.

Keeper's Blessing

1. Allows the wielder of this grant the ability to use a special one time use Elemental Fury crystal within a challenge against a Keeper. This crystal will allow its wielder the use of Elemental Fury up to three times within a challenge (should the challenge go to 3 full duels). The power of the Elemental Fury Crystal can only be used once per match.

- or -

2. Allows the wielder to submit the Blessing to the Duel of Magic staff to be redeemed for a Challenge Grant that can be awarded to any non-mage / mage emeritus duelist of their choice. This grant will allow its wielder to challenge one of the four elemental keeper titles so long as the keeper is not under a grace period. This grant must be used within 14 days.

(( Should 2nd place go to a current Elemental Keeper, they can only select the second option to give the grant away, and cannot select the EF crystal since they're already a keeper. ))

A parchment was tacked to the corkboard with a black and gold pushpin. The message that it contained was written in an exceptionally precise left-handed script in black ink. A seal in black and gold wax with the impression in the wax of a panther head was at the bottom of the parchment.

The honourable Coordinator for the Duel of Magic, Max Lager, will be officiating the challenge for the Celestial Tower between I and the honourable Archmage, Bailey Raptis, on Monday, August 26th at 9 PM by the Eastern clock tower.

Tonight is the Archmage Challenge where Bailey and Rachael will face off! Since these two casters are both former Archmages of previous times and trying to either continue their reign or return to the Celestial Tower, I thought it would be great to have some real classics on the menu tonight! And you can’t get more classic than Burgers, Fries and Milkshakes! (and Pies if the rumor mill is true!)


Black Magic Burger is catering on the Isle tonight, so don’t hesitate to come hungry! Try one of the speciality burgers created with other fighters on the card in mind!

Bailey’s Burger: Jamaican jerk seasoned ground beef patty, Monterey Jack cheese, mango and sweet pepper salsa

Rachael’s Burger: Wagyu beef, sautéed onions, sautéed cremini mushrooms, swiss cheese, and dijon mustard.

Bottomless fries! Try them with the nacho cheese sauce Max made certain was on hand tonight! Yum!

Dozens of milkshake options! There’s even a Mudslide milkshake (with real Kahlua in it) and a Green Goblin milkshake (tastes like mint!) to honor the earth magic of the cycle and the helpful Goblins who live on Twilight Isle and help keep the dueling area there clean and safe!


The action tonight starts at 9 pm est! Be sure to come out and cheer on your favorite!

Bailey did his best to follow his tradition of wearing special make-up and/or body paint for challenges and important duels. Tonight, save for a simple black swimsuit, he was covered neck to toe in shiny bronze, silver, and gold body paint, even dying portions of his hair in those colors. He also covered his eyes in glittery gold eye shadow.

Tonight I got to call the Archmage Challenge between Bailey and Rachael! And boy was it exciting! I got to bring out the ring Olympus!
Both matches were a lot of sea-sawing back and forth between Bailey and Rachael, but it was Bailey who came out on top with two straight wins for the night! Way to go Bailey on your third defense as Archmage and incredible try Rachael!


Match results:

FINAL: Bailey Raptis def. Rachael Blackthorne, 5 - 3.5 in 10 rounds. - dom
FINAL: Bailey Raptis def. Rachael Blackthorne, 5 - 4 in 9 rounds. - dom
