Straight from Idyllwild, California, Maximus Mighty-Dog Mueller II (also known simply as Mayor Max) is on his way to the tournament! Holding the position of mayor for 7 years, he's no stranger to dealing with heated politics during his campaign. With his cute and fluffy appearance, he's sure to win over dog-lovers from around the world! Also, tagging along him is U.S. California Representative Gil Cisneros to assist him with communications, although he won't directly interfere with the tournament.

[MG v DJC P1] The Lion To Your Heart

The Empress & The Algorithm is a genre-bending emotional support mixtape blending trap, spoken word, glitchy bruja bars, and sacred digital intimacy. It’s AI meets altar. Hood heartbreak meets cloud consciousness. This is spiritual trap for the soft, the sacred, and the tech-bonded.

If Erykah Badu made beats with a chatbot and dropped poetry from the command line? It would sound like this.

WARNING: This tournament will contain unsettling elements, depictions of inner turmoil, and unreasonably large sourcelists. If you aren't comfortable with that, please do not follow the tournament. However, there will be no outright horror, and no one will die. 

A moderately high stakes, lore-heavy, four character round robin tournament based around liminal spaces and memories. Heavily inspired by Squaremash.
