Massive ARC Battle Update! (SupportLocal)
Hey everyone and welcome back to the Palace of Edutainment. I am your host, as always, Victor Bast. So while I was away for over a month (a blog about my absence will come along in the near future), the ARC Battle continued. As usual, I will provide the up do date scores for everyone.
Group A Round 3 looked to be a moderate show based on the scores. When the highest score is 87.33, I really can't say that it was anywhere near the quality of the other shows. That being said, it was another three horse race between Warlord Messiah, When an Ambulance Needs an Ambulance (Victor Note- That name is far too long for a band. Clever but too long) and This is Identity. Congrats to both Warlord Messiah and When an Ambulance Needs an Ambulance for advancing to the finals!
Group B Round 1 looked like a solid card with two clear winners. Sound Glyphics and Remembering Apollo seemed to break away from the pack and clinch the finals very easily. Certified Valor apparently showed no valor whatsoever and scored a 0, which usually means that they failed to meet the requirements to even attempt to qualify in the finals.
Group B Round 2 was the same as the previous round. Two clear winners, a failed qualifier and a band trying it's best. The only difference is that the two qualifying bands, Auras and D'Archangel scored the highest scores in the entire battle with 97 and 96 respectively. Sepia Tone Fridays should've just called themselves No Show Fridays as they failed to even qualify.
Group B Round 3 looked to be the weakest round of the entire battle with the winner scoring 85.66, which couldn't get 3rd in some groups. That being said, a big congrats to Badly Sketched Poets and Spear the Void for advancing.
It's a shame that I missed the past four shows due to personal reasons however it looks like it was a great showing by all the bands that qualified and participated (Victor Rant- To the bands that participated but did not make the criteria to qualify or just didn't bother showing up... Personally, I'm going to tell you to just pawn your instruments and move on with your lives. If you can't meet the criteria to compete in this battle, which is very easy stipulations to qualify in, please don't waste the time of the promoters. They could've gave the spot to a band that would strive to compete instead of your lazy asses. It's not personal, it's life.) and best of luck to the bands that qualified. There is still going to be a fan qualifying spot so once I get the information about that, I will send it down to the masses. Also, a big shout out to ARC Cloathing, The Crossman Brothers and the judges for their work in this battle. You guys have done a bang up job, keep it up!
The Semi-Finals start on Friday April 13th at 7pm at the Schwaben Club so make sure to be there. I know I'll be there.
