Ka-POW!!!

Loving this system you guys got doing a round for every UFC show, they just keep coming. The tourney I was in was so messy and unorganized it took 100 thread pages just to figure out when the next deadline was, lol. This is amazing

Here are Masato's (un)official scorecards:

Undercard: Total Immortal vs Senor whitebelt: No show for Senor? (not much of a showing for totes either I must say :(
Winner: Total Immortal via no-show

Empty Emp vs Chuck & the Vig

Empty Emp: A solid argument for the value of a simple shoop. Hypnotizing, funny, nicely timed. That being said, this is the semifinals brah :)
5/10 *edit: non-TV-watching Masato didn't get the joke :oops: bump to 8/10

Chuck & the Vig: Well the odds are being proven right - the favourite to win and defending champ is looking like he's on his way for a repeat. SO smooth, so well framed. The ears are amazing, great timing - and a clear coherent concept/idea behind it all to boot. So sad this dude is hating on me, because I really am a huge fan of his work. I'd say he's the top shooper right now in MMA-land... BUT IT AIN'T OVER YET!!! Still lots of room for an upset
10/10

Winner: Chuck & the Vig a-la Wanderlei Silva 2003 GP


EOW vs fungi
(I can't believe this is happening...!!)

EOW: Beautiful. The faces of the guests as AA gets whacked are HILARIOUS. Did you speed up the clapping scene on purpose? It is so funny like that. Skills are becoming finely tuned, EOW is becoming a fucking ninja.
10/10

fungi: Whoa. This is maybe the deepest, most multi-layered intellectual shoop I have ever seen. Brand new idea. MANY lulz all the way through. Compound lulz and plays on jokes-within-jokes. Absolute first-rate shooping skills; EVERY creature face is hilarious. fungi proves twice in a row that a well-constructed image can still beat a GIF. Its like when Jiu-Jitsu makes its revolving return in a world of new-breed strikers. Mata Leon, baby
11/10

Winner: fungi with the HUGE UPSET via late last round RNC after a Hendo-Shogun-esque war



Fighter of the night: AJ 'fungi' Woody (twice in a row)

^ lol - EOW came out swinging!! He made a shoop that would murder most anyone... I thought it would be hard to beat!
(I write my scorecards blindly as I go one-by one, like a play-by-play)

I am also 100% aware of EOW's increasing editing skills, the dude is getting badass at GIFS and special FX...

Maybe not 'huge' upset :), but winning ISL semi-finals with an oldschool 'non-GIF' is like David and Goliath mang

I thought EOW was on a tear

^ LOL.
Masato, EOW can literally be called my student. (No offense, EOW).
Ah, it's just a shoop...

p.s. TBH, I'm starting to think, Sherdog is a popularity contest, OR I have a peculiar sense of humor that does not coincide with that of general Sherdog population.

Dude, that 'peculiar sense of humor' is imo the only thing that can trump Chuck & the Vig.

If anyone matches him straight GIF for GIF they will lose. You can fuck up his gameplan, you are the most outside-the-box threat

PS: Are people not digging it @ Sherdog?

wtf that's crazy

Maybe we forget that most doggers are likely teenagers with severe digitally-reduced attention spans... (no patience for subtlety)

tl;dr, etc

Masato, I think the semis might be over for me. I was shocked by the scorecards. Still am.
Good round, nonetheless.
Fellers have really stepped up.

Anywho, back on track, to the new horizons.

Yea i'm kind of surprised EOW's shoop is beating out AJ's (no offense EOW). The semis were moved to the heavies for more exposure again but I always forgot the heavies is populated by some of the dumbest posters ever on Sherdog, many who don't understand what goes on behind shooping.
