Prong Win Gateway Winter Meltdown League


 
The Gateway Winter Meltdown League finished, with Prong taking the overall victory and a prize of $60000. The runners-up were Mastodon, and finishing in third place overall were Rotorheads.
What a doozy. Four races, each with a great story. Lets dive in.

Race 1: Joel and Longo both participate with powerful psikers. Starting cars on fire is a powerful advantage. Prong and Beverly-Dutton formed a second team, and *Snipe* showed up. The Race was on the figure 8 track. Longo hid behind a building, Joel got pinned, by Snipe, to the front of that building. Prong and Bev came around the corner the wrong way. Snipe caught fire, Joel caught bullets. Longo waged his war on Prong and Bev, lighting them both on fire. Everyone Resigned except Longo and Prong. The moment of the race came when the jousted near the start line. Longo landed telling shots to Prongs weakened front armor. Prong landed telling shots to Longos strong side armor. Then 'Red Eye' Jumped out and shot Longo with an SMG further weakening the armor. An Mastadon finished the job putting Longo out. Prong walked over for a third place finish.

Race two was a classic match where Longo and Joel worked together to defeat Prong, Grelin69 and X-man. A fair play, but Joel, greedy for speed, killed his only remaining driver on a landmine without A SINGLE ENEMY CAR IN PLAY! Longo takes the win. Reminds me of when Ricky Bobby caught fire and his wingman finally gets to win a race.

Race three: Longo stands alone. without support, Longo resigns after an unlucky collision took most of armor and damaged his gun while Grel was largely unhurt. Snipe, eager only to race, shot and raced his way to first place. Prong takes second after missing several shots at snipe as he rounded the final corner.

This set up a magnificent match where Prong led the standing with 29 points on a third and second place finish. Longo had 20 points on his win in Joel Kills Himself race number 2. Super Villians Team took the win, but the action was keen between Longo, Joel, Snipe Grel and Prong. Longo took the lead with Snipe on his heels. Grel and Joel fought in the flanks. Joel wanting to wait near the finish line to ambush Prong. Joel defeated Grel and Longo lit Prongs car on fire causing 'Red Eye' to exit her vehicle. Between putting her hair and clothes out, dodging a medium rocket blast, and avoiding race cars, she found the chance to shoot Longo through the barricades as he circled the track. On the 4th of 5 laps, 'Red Eye' was able to breach the armor, and her very last round of SMG ammo passed through the elbow of Andres Boardman, who was already beleaguered from his multiple psionic efforts. He passed out at the sight of his own blood. Joel, who was largely ineffective as a wingman, rammed his friend accidentally, and then parked to provide cover from the deadly ped weapon fire of an unconscious 'Red Eye'. He gamely tried to take out the NPCs, but it was too little too late and 6 of them finished the race in front of Longo, making it impossible to push him over the finish line for the league title.
