Still, I just can't get past that 7th post. The funny bit is all I want is experience and seems lady luck is determined not to give it to me, lol.

Well, it looks like Shiden really is gone (you'd think he would at least have let us know)... so by default you win, I guess.

Next up for you on the bracket is [@Doc Doctor], who is generally quite consistent with his fights, from what I have seen.  Hopefully he'll be able to give you a full match?  Might still end in seven posts if you're not careful, Gonad can be pretty lethal... but should be a more satisfying fight, if you're ready to move on.
