This challenge happened tonight and it was super fun!

Our challenger was Gatito who was taking his second shot at the Tower of Air and this particularly Keeper, Eregor, who was looking for a second defense and to hold onto the Key! Eregor elected to fight in Anemoi from the very beginning of the fight and throughout the challenge!

The first fight began with Gatito getting on the board by controlling the rings' warm spring winds! Eregor found an answer shards of light that flew across the ring at Gatito! But Gatito kept up the pressure, continuing to extend his lead, and then holding it as the two fighters traded currents of wind! Gatito was first to match point, but Eregor was able to hold him off! But in the end it was Gatito who was able to take the win in the first fight!

FINAL: Partly Cloudy def. Eregor, 5 - 4 in 8 rounds.

The second fight opened with a trade of blows! Things stayed steady through another round, and then Gatito managed to edge ahead. He held onto that lead through another trade of blows, but the Keeper came back and managed to get himself his own edge with a fancy cloning maneuver that filled the ring with Eregors! Eregor used a tornado (I know the word now!) to get himself to match point! But Gatito answered, closing the gap between the fighters. In the end though, it was the Keeper who found the final go-ahead point and took the win!

FINAL: Eregor def. Partly Cloudy, 5.5 - 4.5 in 9 rounds.

The third and final fight began with a timely defense from the Keeper, edging him onto the board first! But then it was a trade of blows for three rounds while the Keeper just barely held an edge! Gatito was the first to land a clean point, bringing himself to matchpoint! And just when we thought the fight would go his way, the Keeper tied it right back up! In round 8, Gatito tried to end the fight with a big move, but it was the Keeper who edged ahead, but not enough to close things out! Gatito came right back and tied things back up for yet another sudden death round! The entire crowd was holding it's breath! And while Gatito came so close to getting that Key, it was the Keeper who scored the final point!

FINAL: Eregor def. Partly Cloudy, 6 - 5 in 10 rounds.

Congratulations to Eregor on his second defense! Well-tried, Gatito! No doubt we'll see you back for Air again!
