(7/31/21-8/1/21) FBS 20: Boss, Young, Legends (FBS New Orleans)

[Brad Kerlin]

Fellow members of the Sim-Monsters community, it is that time once again. This weekend, another FBS supershow will take place. It will be the two-day spectacle that is FBS 20. For the past ten plus weeks, we have seen the best competitors of this community battle it out. And once again more champions were crowned, new stars were made, never before seen matches were introduced, some drivers hit the highest of highs, some hit the lowest of lows, but above all, the performance from every driver at every single event was phenomenal. And now across two incredible days and two incredible tracks, we get to see another ultimate showcase of Freestyle Battle Series. For Day 1, in the headline match, we will see Brandon Adam & Jax Cohen defend their Tag Team Titles against Chadwick Deerfoot & Mario Ortega. This is the first defense of the titles for Brandon & Jax, but they've proven that they're more than capable as a team after being unexpectedly thrown together. But Chadwick & Mario have been gelling more and more as they've been teaming together, and they've proven themselves more than ready for this opportunity. Both of these teams are walking into this match with a lot of momentum backing them, so we'll see which team fights the hardest and who will be the Tag Team Champions. Also, we will see the Semi-Finals for FBS-NEO. For 10 events 20 drivers have fought tooth and nail just for this opportunity to be here. And now we are down to the final four. For Block 1, Brad Kerlin, defeated the likes of Danny Mackey & Trevor Michalesko, finished with a overall record of 5-1 with 2 MOTN awards. Brad seems to be the odd one out amongst the four, but he's shown his worth, and he definitely has the most to gain here. Brad wants to prove he can compete at the top level in leagues, he just needs to be careful and not send himself over trying. Tyler May, also getting victories over the likes of Danny Mackey & Trevor Michalesko, finished with a overall record of 4-1 with 2 MOTN awards. Tyler is known for having a lot of firsts here in FBS, and his driving ability proves exactly why. He just needs to make sure the job gets done, otherwise his next first will be the first loser in the FBS-NEO Semi-Finals. And for Block 2, Chadwick Deerfoot. He defeated the likes of Alex Ferullo & Tyler Richmond, finishing with a overall record of 5-1 with 3 MOTN awards. Chadwick has set a lot of records over the past 10 events in FBS, and he's definitely looking to set another one as the first winner of FBS-NEO. Chadwick has been nearly untouchable in FBS, but as they say you never hear the shot that takes you down, so he's looking to keep his ears open, and his mindset focused on the victory. And Brandon Adam, defeated the likes of Adrian Cooper & Jackson Meszaros, finishing with a overall record of 4-2, with 1 FOTN award and 3 MOTN awards. Brandon seems to be the most skilled out of these four in the NAMT trucks, which gives him a big advantage over the other 3 competitors. But it also puts a huge target on his back, so he's definitely looking to dodge these bullets till he is declared the winner. All four of these men have shown their worth, and all four have a huge chip on their shoulder. And we will see who wants it the most, and who is the first ever winner of the FBS-NEO Cup. Also, Jeremy Castillo faces Gavin Dirschell to determine the number one contender for the Division 2 Title. Both of these guys have fought like hell for the past 10 events, taking some losses on the chin and giving some shots right back. Both of these guys have shown their worth in Division 2, and now they will fight to see who is the next challenger for the DIvision 2 Title. Also, in a special attraction match, Brad Kerlin takes on Aaron Lurie. Aaron shows why he is the number 5 rank in Sim-Monsters Leagues overall, especially in his freestyle ability, so it should be interesting to see how he handles his first ever FBS match. But Brad did prove upsets are possible at FBS 10 against Danny Mackey, so he's looking to see if he can continue his luck here. This may seem like another massive mismatch, but this might be the one to watch on Day 1. And Brian Parker faces Ike Toussaint. For Day 1 we have taken the obstacles from NAMT Tampa 2021 and put them inside the Superdome. With two berms filled with too many crazy obstacles to count and four backflip ramps, these drivers are definitely putting on a show worthy of this magnitude. And onto Day 2, as in the headline match it's a 3-way match for the Division 1 Title. Chadwick Deerfoot defends his title against both Alex Ferullo and Armando Barbosa. Chadwick and Alex's feud has seemed to define the title picture for Division 1, as they've played hot potato with the title across the best matches FBS has ever seen bar none. And there isn't a better way to cap it off than in the biggest match at the biggest show in FBS. But this time there's a wrench thrown into the mix by the name of Armando Barbosa. Armando has shown his worth in every single match he's in, as he's been able to pull off some of the craziest moves ever seen in FBS competition. And after winning Six To Survive at FBS 19, he's shown he's ready for this opportunity. All three of these drivers have shown why they belong in the position they are currently in, so it's just a matter of seeing who belongs in the position of being Division 1 Champion. Also, Izzy Martinez defends the Division 2 Title against Max Silver. Izzy burst onto the scene here in FBS at FBS 11 and quickly climbed the ranks in Division 2, won the first ever Six To Survive, and beat Cameron Perkins for the Division 2 Title. Ever since then Izzy has seemed to be unbeatable, as no one has figured out how to hand him a loss since he became champion. But Max Silver has fought his way through Division 2 to earn this shot. His last opportunity at this title was 5 months ago at FBS 7, and he came so close to winning but came up just short. Now he's here once again, and I can assure you, he's not going to let this opportunity go without the fight of his life. Izzy wants to keep his spot as champion, and Max finally wants to be able to call himself Division 2 Champion. So this match will surely be a fight to the finish. Also, Max Halpert takes on Trevor Michalesko to determine the number one contender to the Division 1 Title! Both Max & Trevor have climbed their way through the ranks of Division 1 and now they only have to go through each other to get a shot. Max is looking to finally get a shot after losing to Alex Ferullo, and Trevor is looking to get back in the Division 1 Title picture for the first time in 6 months. Both of these guys want this opportunity more than ever, so this match will surely blow the roof off of the place. Also, in a special attraction match, Blake Thompson officially makes his return to FBS after being sent home at FBS 15. But it's not exactly the welcome back he might've been looking for, as his first opponent back is the greatest driver in the history of all Sim-Monsters Leagues, Mark Colineri. We all know the competitor that Mark is, and we saw him in action at Brad's Birthday Bash, so he's definitely looking to put Blake in his place. But Blake has sat and watched everyone else compete for the past 4 events and I know he's itching to get his mojo back in FBS. Both of these guys know each other well on and off the track, so they're definitely going to do everything they can to one up each other here. Also, we will see the Finals for FBS-NEO, Jackson Meszaros face Tyler May, Cameron Perkins goes against Christian Leneud, and Jayden McClam take on Julian Deshazer. For Day 2 we will be seeing FBS New Orleans! This track is definitely the craziest track FBS has ever seen. With old school obstacles such as the volcano fountain, to obstacles nobody has ever seen before such as the taxi flower, and also on the track is two buses, a arena pod, a van stack, a house, 2 big dirt mounds, 4 jammers, and 4 backflip ramps. What a time to be alive. This is another spectacle to once again cement Freestyle Battle Series as not only one of the top leagues on Sim-Monsters.com but also as possibly one of the best league concepts to come to the site. Every match could main event any show, and it's all on two glorious days of action. Once again this is where moments are made, stars are born, champions are crowned, and history is written. This is FBS 20. See you on the track!
