WBO:The Name Changer!

The Name Changer was an event hosted in Tennessee which was advertised as the first event in Tennessee. However, there had been an event that was proposed beforehand, but failed to happen due to last minute cancellations. The Name Changer included Bladers from various parts of TN and some from North Carolina. It was held inside of a park located in Brentwood, TN which is very close to the capital, Nashville. The winner of this tournament was able to choose the host, RagerBlade's username for 30 days. Co-host Neo also brought physical prizes. First place received a Wolborg MS, second place received Driger MS, and third received Dranzer F.

Tournament
The tournament was performed in Round Robin format, with the three highest scoring players advancing to the finals. However, at the end of the preliminaries there was a tie between RagerBlade and Amidamaru for third, so they both advanced to the finals.

The tournament began with Neo establishing an early spot at First with his only loss being to Amidamaru. Ingulit performed a perfect start, but lost his final four matches. RagerBlade avoided elimination after he won a match against Amidamaru. This caused them both to be tied for the third finalist position which resulted in them both moving on to the finals.

The finals ended fairly quickly with Neo winning both of his matches, RagerBlade losing one, and ZachBob losing two. Unfortunately, after Amidamaru's successful preliminary rounds, he finished his first tournament in fourth place. Neo won the ability to choose RagerBlade's username, and his decision landed on "BUYORDIE!", in reference to RagerBlade's selling topic on the WBO.

There were many Stamina combinations being used which resulted in very time-consuming battles. However, there were also quite a few Attack combinations as well. Overall, this tournament moved relatively quickly with Bladers using a variety of different combos.
