The Showcase Showdown is an opportunity for people unfamiliar with the dueling community, those who are interested in trying the duels but aren't sure where to start, or characters who are just out to show their support for dueling or their friends dueling. In other words, it's for everybody. ;)
In this thread you'll find some basic OOC information about the events that will take place as well as some quickstart dueling guides for those of you who want to try out dueling -- and I hope you do!
If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask! This is what this event is all about.
The Showcase Showdown: Schedule of Events
Time/Date: December 22nd, 2009 in the RDI Arena from 9-12AM and the ROH Great Helm Tavern from 12AM-??.
Showcase Matches:
Duel of Swords: G'nort Esplanade G'neesmacher Dragoon Talanador -VS- Maria Graziano
G'nort, casually known around Rhy'din as G, as an illustrious history amongst the dueling community. An infamous name amongst the Team Dueling League (TDL), he acted as Baron for Dockside and Old Market for nearly a year in both posts. G is now the active dueling coordinator in Swords, and is a fairly regular face in the Arena.
Fighting the most recent former Baroness of the Old Market District, the first Warlord to challenge and take a barony from legendary Xenograg Bey in as long as nearly two years. Maria Graziano is known to be a member and founder of the legendary Wrecking Crew, and just as legendary for utilizing a baseball bat as her signature weapon of choice. She's also quite the sexy spitfire! This match up is destined to be hot!
Duel of Magic: Neo Eternity -VS- Sivanna Cyredghymn
While most regular duelers might recognize Neo as a contender in Swords where he's ranked as a Grand Master, Neo has been the Keeper of Water in Magic since February with a current record of 67-7. Relatively new to the rings in comparison to folks like G and Guill, Neo's an up-and-coming competitor to look out for: in a few years time, it wouldn't be shocking for him to find a barony as well!
Sivanna's living proof that a pretty face can still kick your ass. Frequently underestimated as just another lovely ringside lady (and maybe a bit of a lush!), Sivanna currently stands as Keeper of Fire with a 12-1 record of wins over losses.
Duel of Fists: Matt Simon -VS- Koy Simon
If you don't know Matt Simon, you've been living under a rock. While he's the second-time governor of Rhy'din, he also has an incredible history in the dueling arena with a current record of 388-1, current holder of the yellow opal, eight time winner of the Diamond, and coordinator of Fists. There are few people in the entirety of the dueling community who have the sort of resume of competition that Matt holds, even if he's fighting one of the most intimidating forces in the ring.
Because when people mention the name 'Koy' in the rings, it might bring more fear than the governor's! Previous holder of the yellow opal and current holder of the black opal, don't be fooled by Koy's looks of charms -- she wears those heels for a reason, and with a current record of 85-6, she has the background to prove it.
