Semi-Finals 1
July 21

It’s semi-finals time.  Plus, the long wait is over for Atlasphere.

And our proceedings start off with the aerial antics of Rocket Ball.  Wolf and Toa will be representing the Glads here.  A friendly bounce helped Tim win a close match 4-3.

Siren and Crush will be the defenders for the women’s Rocket Ball.  Ally’s 10-point prelim performance didn’t get repeated, but we did get a 6-all tie.

It’s Round 2 and it’s men’s ATLASPHERE!!  It’s just like you remember, right down to the grid floor.  Each contender will try to score in one of the four pods worth 2 points each.  Justice and Wolf will be bringing the banging.  After a minute of classic Gladiator action, Tim gets a buzzer-beater to tie the game at 4.  He keeps the lead 8-7.

Now it’s time for the women playing with the giant balls.  Phoenix and Steel will be keeping the hits coming.  Ally’s score the only goal to give her an 8-6 advantage.

Continuing the action with the men, Time beat Titan again for 5, and all Alexander got was a re-dislocated finger via Hurricane.  Titan gets vindication on Tilt, keeping both contenders scoreless.

Unfortunately, that dislocation is too much of a risk for Alex to continue, so he must bow out, so guess who’s back. 

One of our most start-to-finish dominating performers gets to debut on Skytrack—where he won in the prelims.  He draws Zen and Tim gets Militia.  Our Asian Glad gets vengeance as he helps contribute to a scoreless match.  Tim still keeps a 13-7 lead.

Women’s round 3 is Gauntlet, and there’s been a reversion back to the classic scoring system.  5 points for a win, 10 if it’s under 20 seconds, which is definitely possible.  Our whacking order tonight is Venom, Steel, Crush, and Hellga…or is it.  Venom and Steel swap places before Ally takes off, which did nothing.  Crush laid most of the smackdown but it didn’t stop the newlywed from hot-dogging it into the blocks in 19.5 seconds for 10 big ones.  The formation stays for Major Pain, and is just as effective.  However, Vanessa does do it a second slower.  That’s only good for 5 and so Ally’s lead becomes 18-11.

Rounding out our men’s action is Joust, and the other moment you were probably waiting for is here.  At 7 feet and 318 pounds, it’s time to unleash the Beast.  Brick looked like he had a chance, but Beast cuts his teeth with a 9-second victory.  Tim lasts only 5 seconds, but he had no lead to lose.

After 6 events, our once-dominating contender is now in a sub-dominant position, especially since Tim on the Eliminator makes Rocket look like a tricycle.

While we were out, Venom went one-for-two, only yielding 5 points to Vanessa.  Skytrack was scoreless again, thanks to Crush and Jet.  So it’s only a 2-point margin heading into Powerball. 

Siren, Hellga, and Phoenix will be on defense for this 60-second smashfest.  Vanessa seemed to get all the attention, which allowed Ally to get a center goal in addition to three outer goals for 5.  Vanessa got one in, but it was waived off (time expired) so she only got 2. 

The half-second should not matter, but you never know in the Eliminator.

6 points of lead means 3 seconds of head start for Tim.  With a prelim time 45 seconds faster than Brick’s he certainly looked in the catbird seat, so much so that he vowed to beat his record.  Ya know what?  He did it, winning in SEVENTY-SEVEN AND A HALF SECONDS!  If he gets to the finals, could we see a sub-minute?  If the other two semi-finalist winners post a faster time, though, Tim will be SOL.

On the women’s side, newlywed Ally has a 2.5-second lead on Major Vanessa.  With another speedy performance by Ally, it looks like she could break 2 minutes, but she struggles at the top of the Travellator and loses the milestone.  However, 2:07 is still a personal (and women’s course) best…and all without contacts. 

With our top seeds showing why they got the top spots, the other eight contenders have a fight on their hands.  Who will make it to the next round?  The quest continues next week on American Gladiators.
