We begin our Third Strike round with a solid twenty-three jurors. I was expecting more, but... it certainly has been a while since our last match, hasn't it? Besides, it's not like you looked upon these performers with any favour... after all, you brought them to this point. Will THE VIKING prove his 0-2 status to be nothing more than a fluke, or will TAKING WHAT'S NOT YOURS' new erratic performance give him the edge?

One stands, one falls. Only one can survive, and that honour falls to...

Make Me So Smooth

Sixteen jurors this match, the lowest of the tournament thus far. Not surprising, considering the extreme delays in production. However, I hope that we can get more in the future. In any case, this match ended up being very close. Has Latch Brothers' missing partner resulted in lessened strength, or has Carmen's foreign sound finally caught up to him?

One stands, one falls. Only one can remain in losers, and that honour falls to...

DOWN WITH THE KING

Eighteen jurors. An improvement, but... we can do better. As we close losers round three, we enter a very exciting portion of our judgement process: the winners of the next two approaching rounds, R3 and LR4, will be considered INNOCENT, free from the system. I wonder if you will make the right choices there.

Getting back on track. Will October's solemn rhythms pail in comparison to true destruction? Or will The Ultimate Annihilator's restrictions hold him back? One stands, one falls. Only one can remain in losers, and that honour goes to...
