While a smaller field than was present for the initial Duel of Fists All Ranks Tournament, the Outback hosted 7 duelers for this past Saturday's event.

Seeding was random, and wound up in the following order:

Caleb Feren
Conner Reid
Minion of Deathlord
Haru Jeong
Suturi
Kheldar Drasinia
Mallory Maeda

Mallory opened the night with a shutout over Conner and never looked back, defeating Kheldar and then Suturi to advance to the Finals. Conner, meantime, bounced back from the shutout to make it all the way to the end of the consolation bracket, but fell two points shy of the Finals and lost to Suturi.

Suturi needed to win twice to take the tournament and she beat Mallory's construct to force a winner-take-all fight before narrowly losing the final duel in Sudden Death.

Congratulations to Mallory, who takes home Fistmelda's Tusk! For her second-place finish, Suturi elected Lil’ Cheetah’s pizzas.

Remaining prize selections will be announced as they are chosen by the participants.
