Waage vs. Eisbiber
"This morning Löwen from all over the nation gathered to witness the first match of the 2014 Löwen Games. In one corner, an Eisbiber bared his teeth. In the other corner, the light reflected off the scales of a Waage.

The First Fourteen matches are designed to weed out the worst of the 78 competing Wesen so the final rounds become progressively more exciting to watch. Of course, it's fun seeing an Eisbiber getting torn apart by a Waage. But admit it, it's more fun to watch the standoff between two champions. That's why the teams are seeded the way they are, so that the champions don't meet up with each other until the end.

The Eisbiber lasted approximately 42 seconds before having his face eaten off by the hungry Waage. On Thursday, the Waage will face the mighty Dämonfeuer. A close cousin, the Dämonfeuer is armed with pyrotechnics that will make for a splendid display of power."

Fuchsbau vs. Wütende Taube
"I do not think that all participants appreciate the seriousness of the event. We have just witnessed a example of such frivolity. The Fuchsbau entered the arena wearing a cloak, from beneath which he produced several sheets of ready-made pastry! While fending off the attacks by the lone Wütende Tuabe with one arm he laid the sheets out, then with one swift bite to the neck the Wütende Taube was on the pastry. The Fuchsbau finished wrapping him, and then asked where the oven was."

Kasipepo vs. Luisant-Pêcheur
"Both contestants are far out of their element in this matchup. On one hand, the Kasipepo: known for its ability to run extremely fast, it will have very little space to sprint. On the other, the Luisant-Pêcheur: there will be no water available in this competition, so place your bets assuming this is a slightly less timid Eisbiber. Begin!

The Kasipepo begins by immediately sprinting directly at the otter Wesen. Ooh, that looked like it hurt! The Luisant-Pecheur is rolling on the ground in pain after knocking his head against the bars. Wait, what's this? The Kasipepo is kicking him while he's down! Such dirty fighting will not be condoned... er, sorry, condemned, in these games. After a final blow to the stomach and a wretched retch from the otter, the Kasipepo wins!"

Malin Fatal vs. Glühenvolk
"At last a proper fight. I think that the Malin Fatal thought that this would be easy. How wrong he was. The Malin Fatal made its traditional head lowered attack towards the opponents chest, when the Glühenvolk dropped to the floor and rolled out of the way, grabbing an arm on the way past. Using a wrestling move the shoulder was dislocated and the Glühenvolk showed its inexperience as the Malin Fatal span round and using its fangs slashed open the Glühenvolk's leg. The Malin Fatal then charged again, the Glühenvolk, hampered by its injured keg, attempted to dodge out of the way but was only partially successful taking a cut across the upper chest, however a forearm across the back of the neck caused the Malin Fatal to strike its head against the cage bars stunning it. The Glühenvolk then threw its arms around the Malin Fatal's neck in a choke hold. This is now a test of strength between the neck of the Malin Fatal and the arms of the Glühenvolk. The Malin Fatal is attempting to strike the injured leg of the Glühenvolk, who is hopping in a circle to shield its leg whilst maintaining the choke hold and simultaneously trying to strike the dislocated arm with its hip. The Malin Fatal stands upright, with the Glühenvolk's arms still around its throat, what a mistake to make, the Glühenvolk pulls its good leg in the middle of the Malin Fatal's back and jerks backwards. The crack of the Malin Fatal's back was audible three rows back. Victory for the Glühenvolk, but with that blood loss I don't think the Koschie will have a problem."

Rotznasig Carcaju vs. Mauzhertz
"This fight looks like it has an obvious outcome. Not only is the wolverine Wesen a ferocious, snot-nosed monster (well, sort of), but this unlucky Mauzhertz owes Sauly multiple debts from their old poker nights. The odds will likely be slightly bent. Begin! The wolverine Wesen immediately woges and bares his claws, snorting and looking fierce. The mouse Wesen cowers and woges in fear, shrinking away into the bars at his back. The Carcaju strides forward, quickly closing the small distance between the two as the Mauzhertz attempts to scurry away. The Rotznasig Carcaju swipes at the Mauzhertz, catching him across the back and sending him sprawling. Standing over the weak mouse, the wolverine looks to the Lowen at his side, for a signal. The Lowen's thumb is already down, his face a mask of impatience. With a quick thrust, the match is finished. Victory for Rotznasig Carcaju, and it's fully physically fit for its next match."

Gefrierengeber vs. Weasel Wesen
"This match was a quick one, with the Gefrierengeber down in 31 seconds. The weasel Wesen had more tricks up his sleeve than the Gefrierengeber was ready for.

"I can't believe they even bothered including the Gefrierengeber in these games. It's not like he stood a chance or anything," said one spectator. "But I guess it was fun to watch him get owned by a weakling."

On Thursday the weasel will face the Jinnamuru Xunte, and will likely finish either dead or blind."

Scharfblicke vs. Seltenvogel
"Well that was a waste of time. The Seltenvogel sat down in the middle of the arena and tapped out while shouting I surrender. The Scharfblicke pushed the Seltenvogel over and put one foot on its chest and waited for the victory to be acknowledged."

Nilpferd vs. Genio innocuo
"Early this morning, a Nilpferd victory had fans roaring with pleasure. The Genio innocuo matched against it proved no match at all for this heavyweight fighter, and he was smitten with pleasure.

The Nilpferd will advance onto the Round of 64 on Friday to face the Murciélago."

Drang-Zorn vs. Stangebär

Chinese Dragon Wesen vs. Reinigen

Skalengeck vs. Musai
"This afternoon the Musai caught several spectators off-guard as she plunged headfirst into the fight. A bite on the Skalengeck's face became a kiss, and suddenly the Skalengeck was overcome with an urge to protect her from the fans. He met certain doom when he back into her sword.

The Musai will advance to the next round on Friday, when she will face the Cracher-Mortel for some serious mouth-to-mouth combat."

Naiad vs. Human
"Unbelievable scenes here at the arena!

In a piece of blatant chicanery a small group of unknown Wesen wrapped the lower part of the fighting rink with a waterproof sheet while a suspiciously burst pipe filled the arena with water. During this time The Naiad combatant, Caspian, kept running away from the human. When the water reached a suitable height he woged and held his opponent underwater until he drowned!

A Stewards inquiry could find nothing in the rules banning such behaviour, although Sauly has not been seen since the end of the fight."

Waschbar vs. Faeteo fatalis
R: R27

Spinnetod vs. Seelengut
"One of the more humorous matches we've seen, the fans were reeling as they watched a Spinnetod pour her digestive juices down the throat of a helpless Seelengut. As an added bonus, fans were allowed to view the Spinnetod feeding on her prey. "That's something you just don't see every day," said one spectator. "It's like...a National Geographic moment...in person. So real!"

The Spinnetod is chalked against a Mauvais Dentes on Friday. Fans are already raving about the possibility of seeing a Mauvais Dentes killed from the inside out."
