Sorry about that. The thing to know about this match is that everyone had full armor, so the minotaur with the spears was the only one able to land a tangible hit.

Match highlights -



The minotaurs both charge into the enemy team.



Cheap Chopper disarms Hoofvs and removes any hope the Kool-Aid Men had.



Strength++ uses their superior size to keep their enemies off balance.



Now I thought pikes could only de-limb small creatures. A pike has the quantum ability of being narrow enough to punch effortlessly through armor while being wide enough to sever limbs.



Big Guy gets in a decent blow. Hoofvs has already been disarmed and racked up a bunch of disabling joint injuries, so from this point on it's a race to murder town.

:siren: Round 7, Fight 1 :siren:



The Kool-Aid Men is on the left side of the arena.
Hoofvs McKenzie (Galick) is a male minotaur. He wields a platinum maul and a wooden shield and wears an iron helm, an iron mail shirt, an iron breast plate, iron greaves, iron gauntlets, and iron high boots.
Brutalist Architect (Ramc) is a male dwarf. He wields an iron battleaxe and a steel battleaxe and wears an iron helm, an iron mail shirt, an iron breast plate, iron greaves, iron gauntlets, and iron low boots.
Dig Dug (Bad Munki) is a male molemarian. He wields a copper pick and wears an iron helm, an iron mail shirt, an iron breast plate, iron greaves, iron gauntlets, and iron low boots.

Strength++ is on the right side of the arena.
Big Guy (Tiler Kiwi) is a male yeti. He wields a bronze two-handed sword and wears an iron helm, a bronze mail shirt, an iron breast plate, bronze greaves, bronze gauntlets, and bronze low boots.
Cheap and Chippy Chopper (Added Space) is a male dwarf. He wields two iron battleaxes and wears an iron helm, three iron mail shirts, an iron breast plate, iron greaves, iron gauntlets, and iron high boots.
Landsknechtaur (my dad) is a male minotaur. He wields a copper spear and a copper pike and wears a steel cap, a steel mail shirt, steel gauntlets, and steel high boots.



Strength++ is a 3.92 to 1 betting favorite in this match with 23641.00 dwarfbucks in total bets placed on them, compared to 6032.00 dwarfbucks for The Kool-Aid Men.

Doesn't look like either side has made any changes, so we're playing another game of minotaur tag. Let's see how it goes!



Cheap Chopper enters the first martial trance of the tournament before combat even starts!



Landsknechtaur is not wasting time and quickly paralyzes Dig Dug.



And there goes the maul once again, taken out of Hoofvs' hand in two shots.



Big Guy can't tell dwarves apart and smacks into Cheap Chopper. Racist.



And another hand lost. You're not in a time warp, folks.



Cheap Chopper completely dominates Brutalist Architect who can't land a hit on him.



How does that spear taste, moleman?

At this point there's nothing left but the stacatto hammering on armor and seeing if anyone can get a kill in before Landsknechtaur finishes everyone.



And the answer is no. Only Big Guy has a few scratches.

:siren:Strength++ has won the tournament! The Kool-Aid Men secure second place!

Kills:


Landsknechtaur – 3

I don't know how, but pikes being able to simultaneously pierce armor and take off limbs needs to be fixed. It's completely absurd.

Stabmaster loses hold of a bronze pike in the combat logs. As for Mr Pokey, I'm just going by Galick's description in the writeup.

Yes, he had a pike.
