The Roblox Grand Melee was a Brickbattle tournament hosted by Clockwork and Telamon (Shedletsky), which took place from August 17th to August 26th, 2007. The tournament consisted of three matches where players had to earn the most kills to advance to the next round. Players were ranked by their K-D ratio (Knockouts divided by Wipeouts). K.O.s were saved regardless of how many times the players rejoined.

FIRST ROUND

August 17th, 2007

The first round took place on an empty baseplate, where all players had the standard Brickbattling toolset. The main goal for this round was to achieve 50 K.O.s to progress to the next round. Players could rejoin at any time. In the end, the top 64 players with the highest K/D ratios advanced to the next round.

GRAND MELEE FINAL ROUND

August 27th, 2007.

The finals took place in the Grand Melee arena. Here, players were separated into Gladiators and Spectators. The Gladiators were chosen for the team and could fight in the arena, while Spectators could only watch the showdown from outside. There was an invisible wall, and anyone who dared to touch it would suffer an instant death. However, trowels could be placed outside the invisible shield. In this match, of the 16 players, only 4 emerged as winners, each determined by their K/D ratio.

• 1st: Koopa, who earned Black Iron crown of pwnage, the Kleos Aphition, The hat of choosing, and 12 months of BC.
• 2nd: cheesypop, who earned the Kleos Aphition, the hat of choosing, 3 months of BC.
• 3rd: Stealth Pilot, who earned 3 months of BC, The Kleos Aphthiton, 500 Robux, and 1000 Tix (tickets back in the day)
• 4th: noobertuber, who earned 1 month of BC, The Kleos Aphthiton, and 500 Robux.

Sportscaster Video Contest

When the finals were about to begin, a video contest was held. Any Spectator could record the finals, and the user with the best video would win a prize of 500 Robux. The winner of the contest was DarkWolfe1.

The Grand Melee arena, to this day, has had message lines at the top displaying nonstop since 2007.

More about this event

An account was created to host the games, named 'GrandMelee.' This account is now terminated for unknown reasons, though the real reason may be obvious. There were rumors about the account being PG'ed, and there was also discussion about whether Telamon or Clockwork were behind it (fr?)..
