Phew, 32 matches, this took way to long. Anyway, some of the themes were a bit modified, I hope people won't mind it. Prize list and competition schedule's will be updated tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.

The irony is that I didn't want the theme to be featured in the tournament in the beginning, but, well why not...
There are some themes that have been suggested in past tournaments, I think I won't be having any themes left after this tournament ends.

Nice themes, a good mix of some broad topics, some funny ones, and a few that are just brutal. Good luck to all. Especially CCShaft and DarkR.
 
Black Ops, a nice theme and I have car that would fit nicely to this theme, but it shall not be revealed. ;)
 
Oh, I just noticed in the rules it says in the entry message you have to put which side you're competing in. Does that mean I'd put my photo then "PMC Side - Matchup 1"?
 
Ceiling_Fan vs. FishyJuice :drool:

Clash of the Titans! :nervous:
 
I go up against... ceiling_fan... :lol:

Who, if not the season 1 winner, could I possibly have faced. Congrats on your win David! :p'

And so I presume we take an image from a seasonal event, or from a special event? I don't quite understand.
 
Only i could pull boab -_-
 
Good shooting everyone.

The bottom half of the PMC side is pretty ugly looking.
