Clash Cubes 2

Clash Cubes 2 will feature the new Official Super Heavyweight Class and 23 entrants with and additional 6 entrants fighting out for the final position in the bracket of 24 (otherwise known as the Wild Card), This a size that is was exceeded by BBEANS at the time the tournament was running. The first notable difference to Clash Cubes was in the qualifiers where competitors are faced with 2 house cubes and the main matches themselves were best 2 out of 3.

The 'Wild Card' bracket concluded with System32 and Sage as the victors (2 robots were taken due to the late withdrawal of Madiaba). The most notable part of the Wild Card portion of the tournament was the 2 grudge match videos, which included a video devoted to Life robot arena2's "trash talk" prior to the tournament and insults following his loss and a video of a grudge match in which HurricaneAndrew's reconfigured Surprise! v2 took on Sage's Mammoth who eliminated HurricaneAndrew in round 1.
