Another 1 seed bites the dust?

Jason "Spanish Blood" McCartney had seen one of his fellow graphics warriors fall prey to the angry storms created by Pan "Pam" Klosterman. And so he trained. Waiting, visualizing, and practicing. McCartney was not going to be the second #1 seed to go down... Or was he?

Entering the graphics battleground, he approached Pan straight on, like an enraged bull charging, Spanish style. Klostermann ran in his direction at speeds last seen when she was leaving the kickball field heading to her bench and beverage. It was like a UFC game of chicken. And neither combatant was going to give. The two collided head-on, with Pam's yells masked inside McCartney (or was it Kuato?)'s growling -- good for an early 2-2 tie.

Unfortunately for Pan, she had merely fed the beast. They stood side by side, anticipating what was coming next. But you cannot anticipate the length of what was boiling inside McCartney. In a single movement, Jason lifted Pan off of the ground and onto his shoulders, twisting her away from him as he did so with a gentle flick of his wrist. He then began to free fall, delivering what is really an insane amount of pain, or what is known on the streets as an Alley Oop takedown.

As Pan laid on the multi-colored graphics turf, McCartney took his 8-2 lead and climbed up onto a table, waving his arms into the air, prepared to do a maneuver known simply as "Splash". He leaped into the air, just like that Derek Jeter poster pose, only slightly less masculinely, landing onto the bewildered Klosterman, and running to a dominant 16-3 advantage.

Just then, Bruce "Bruce" Dickmann came through, saw McCartney standing over his victim and delivered one of his patented "Post Up" Maneuvers, clearing out a lane as he always can, and inflicting a little pain on J-Mac.
He left quickly. In the confusion, that ensued, however, Jason "LeRoy Jankins" Voorhees stood up in his cube. He strutted by McCartney, rolled up his sleeve to reveal a new tatoo of Seth's face with a black eye, flexed, and left the scene.

The commotion was enough to allow Klostermann to not only get up but to shimmy her way across the room and deliver a painful fingernail death massage to Spanish Blood, leaving a trail of punishment down his spine and cutting the deficit to 18-6.

But that wouldn't be enough. I find it best to not upset the animal inside McCartney. Clearly riled up, Jason began cracking his knuckles and preparing for what is known in UFC circles as a Triangle choke. Triangle that is because there are three kinds of pain inflicted. There is the pain before the choke takes hold, the pain through impact, and the pain that comes from realizing there really is no escape. It is really difficult to measure which pain is the greatest, as many are unconscious before the third variety takes hold.

McCartney tossed Pan aside and casually left the scene. This match was clearly over. McCartney wins 35-7-1-1 over Klosterman, Dickmann, and Voorhees. He advances to meet today's matchup's winner:

#4 Jason "Lerrroyyy Jankins" J2 Voorhees versus #5 Seth "Purple Nurple" Elrod.
