The Championship- This Time We’re Actually Finally Done

Holy buckets of unfettered child-like excitement, people. It’s really here, the championship round of the inaugural Mr. Burrito Bowl Presents: The Best Color in the World Tournament Challenge. It’s the big one. The myth-creator, the big salami, the finals.

Tonight’s action is sponsored by JuniLou soft wool baby hats and in accordance with JuniLou productions. JuniLou, makers of fine wool hats everywhere. “Look how cute that baby is, I should buy a hat.” JuniLou hats- Finally, a hat for babies.

Tonight’s action will be one feverish several-hour round of voting. In the red corner, coming off a 60-40 dismantling of the actual color red, tournament darkhorse Indigo. In the blue corner, ironically coming off a one vote drubbing of Cobalt blue, Turquoise. These two colors have been unstoppable of late and it’s anyone’s guess who will come out the first-ever color champion.

In the Co-Main Event, Red battles Cobalt Blue for bronze as both colors look to bounce back from heartbreaking defeats in the semi-finals.

Also on the card, Aqua battles Blue just for funsies.

All voting for this round to be done via Twitter Poll @MrBurritoBowl

How did we get here?

Indigo Recap

How we got to this point in our lives is a loaded question. As far as the tournament goes, it’s been a real roller coaster of emotions. Indigo started off the season with a loss to blue in the Twitter seeding tournament. But, in true Indigo fashion, came roaring back with a huge win in the consolation round.

Once in the real tournament, Indigo left no doubt that they were a force to be reckoned with by beating opponents with a combined vote score of 32-21. The first round saw Indigo meet what turned out to be their toughest test in Lavender. It was back and forth at the start, but a late surge by Indigo secured a 17-12 victory.

In round two, Indigo found themselves up against a plucky Aubergine team. They handled themselves like true title contenders, winning 6-3 thanks in large part to a stifling defense. The semi-finals were supposed to be the big coming-out party for Red, but Indigo was having none of it. Despite being heavy underdogs, Indigo dominated Red from start to finish. They secured a 9-6 win and a ticket to the championship.

Turquoise Recap

Turquoise, on the other hand, has had anything but an easy tournament. Despite defeating opponents by a combined 33-21 vote margin, they escaped both the quarterfinal and semi-final rounds by a single vote each.

In the first round, Turquoise walloped a very green grass team 20-10. In the quarterfinals, Turquoise squared off against prime color blue, shocking the world by emerging the victor after a defensive battle, 5-4. The semi-finals matched Turquoise up against tournament favorite Cobalt Blue in the type of clash that kids skip school to witness. Despite a late surge from Cobalt, Turquoise was able to hang on for an ultra-impressive 8-7 victory.
