Malazan Cage Match? Groups?

**chris777** · September 12th, 2012, 08:40 AM

So instead of the standard 1v1 cage match. Since we all know the end would probably be Rake vs Icarium. Let's mix it up, since I am eager to do one and see how it turns out. I have grouped up various players and will insert them into a bracket and we can see who comes out on top. Feel free to provide any tweaks or thoughts about the groups! This is a first draft.

Icarium and Mappo

K’Rul and Krupe
Kilmandaros and Knuckles
Crippled God and Kalor
Dassem Ultor and Seguleh Jan

I Just can't see any team beating Kruppe and K'Rul, i mean i just can't. Not even Mother Dark. it would have been real fun if you had paired Kruppe off with Iskaral Pust, remember that mule fight? real fun... nice list overall.. shame no one's giving much attention tho

**chris777** · October 13th, 2012, 06:08 PM

I don't see them being the strongest pair. I just finished the final book so I may start this up soon. But it is indeed a shame. On this forum and the malazan forum. Barely any responses. I'd like to just help Suvudu run it.

You know, I have been on the fence about finishing the rest of Malazan (have only read the first one), but threads like this just completely discourage me. Just look at all the characters that I will have to keep track of!

Not gonna lie, the series is daunting. It's thick, it's confusing, it's long. But it's good.
