viOLet came back to win the Rundown after a 3-0 sweep 3 days prior in the New School Monday Open Cup Championships at the hands of "Sleep". A lot has changed for both players since the last time they met. Sleep is now the newest member of Check Six and viOLet is back at his winning ways. Sleep joins Rundown #9 this week and the drama could not be greater. Will viOLet get revenge or will Sleep put viOLet to bed early again? All of that depends on if those two players can get past newcomer GoSuSTX or the very skilled Lau from Infused.Tt. Make sure to check out this week's lineup and follow the action live on Thursday!
