The MAUL tournament has been thundering along! You can get caught up over on YouTube with the following two matches!

In the second quarterfinal match, the Bone Breakers take on the Ogre Brothers! Both teams are widely seen and contenders for the MAUL title, but only one will make it out of this match to the semifinal round!

And just last weekend, the Bull Man faced off against the Bramble Brawlers, a group of fierce and terrifying Leshy! This one went DOWN TO THE WIRE!

The matches keep on rolling. Week 4 saw the conclusion to the quarterfinal round with an absolutely nail-biting match between the Poison Shadows, a band of drow, and the Doom Dwarves, a bunch of fanatical duergar!

And just this past weekend, we saw the start of the semifinal rounds! I will put the match link here inside spoilers, to avoid giving away who won some of the earlier matches!
