405 Confidence

   As the top 16 matchups were released, IG also entered a three day rest period. They said it was rest, but it seemed likely that the IG central headquarters were racking their brains to set these geniuses some tough challenges. The sentiment they announced was that too easy a process would not be fulfilling for some, although it was arduous and tricky to change the format now. But Aslan was willing to facilitate this. After all, 1 on 1 fights were not representative of a fighter's best.

 In order to keep them occupied, the top 16 match-ups had been released, allowing the teams to prepare. Some were celebrating, while others were brooding.
