The TakeOva Battle League stage set the scene for a clash between Elijah Strait and Clone, a battle that had the room buzzing from jump. Elijah Strait came out the gate swinging in the first, dropping aggressive multis and intricate schemes, letting Clone know it wasn't a game. Lines about 'rape kits' and 'Flintstones' showed he was on a mission, proving he's a living legend in the making.
