HANDSOME JACK WINS!

Handsome Jack - 32 Votes (53.3%)
PR Disaster - 28 Votes (46.7%)

Jack: The split was that close? Alright guys, I know some of you wanted to give the girls some pity votes, but that's going a little overboard. Next time don't hesitate to give yours truly the well-deserved unanimous sweep!




CAPTAIN'S NOTES: Lol editing this in a few minutes after the upload dropped 'cause I meant to but just forgot. So, that's it for this round! See you guys in a few months for LR1 - I wish I could give a release date but I don't want to force myself to rush a deadline. I'll try my best to get it out this year though, that much I can confidently say. I was able to get r1 done in ~6-7 months but that was with a lot of crunch and rushing and I really don't want to do that to myself again, so I'm gonna be working at a way slower and more reasonable pace. Thanks for following this tourney so far, and I hope you stick around for what's to come! I'm cookin' some wild stuff up for next round...

[R1M8] Results!
