After receiving a bye in the first round, General's first match was against Lionheart.This match started with Lionheart immediately charging at the disc of General, trying to stop it before it got up to speed. This however failed, and General popped it up into the air, but Lionheart landed right-side up.
Lionheart then got under General, but General got away, and delivered a hit that sent Lionheart flying, flipping it, and ripping off Lionhearts wedge. Before Lionheart could escape, General then charged it, and spun Lionheart out of the arena for the KO.
- "Back to the arena we got Brazilian on Brazilian action."
- — Mark Elam before General vs Apolkalipse.
This put General in the quarterfinals where it faced Apolkalipse. This match started with both bots spinning up, Apokalipse hit General in the side momentarily disabling one half of its drive train before hitting it again. With its drive train now fixed again General charged Apokalipse, the resulting hit sent both bots flying
- "And the first big hit is Apokalipse on General, General is on its head right now."
- — Scott Robinson as General is flipped by the force of Apokalipse's weapon.
Apokalipse then came in to the side of the now inverted General, and ripped a chunk out of it. General responded by self-righting, and delivering a blow that sent the defending Gold Medalists flying multiple feet into the air. Apolkalipse landed upright, and spun back up, however General gave chase, and delivered a completely devastating blow to Apolkalipse.
This blow sent Apolkalipse soaring 8-10 feet into the air, ripping out its weapon belt upon landing, flipping the defending Middleweight gold medalists. General then came in again, and flipped Apolkalipse right-side up, General then delivered another medium sized hit to its now defenseless opponent before positioning itself for another blow, and proceeding to send Apolkalipse nearly into the ceiling before following this up with another flip.
- Scott Robinson: "Wow that's a hit!, Apolkalipse bouncing along the floor."
- Mark Elam: "Apolkalipse has just lost his blade, Apolkalipse has just lost the belt for his blade!"
- Scott Robinson: "So now Apolkalipse will be stuck on its head for the rest of the fight unless it gets flipped over like that by General."
- — Commentators Mark, and Scott on the hit by General that disabled Apolkalipse's weapon.
General then charged in again, ripping a chunk off of Apolkalipse as Apolkalipse attempted to find a way to stop General's weapon. This proved fruitless as General then delivered two consecutive hits flipping Apolkalipse two more times with 1 minute left on the clock. General followed this up by sending Apolkalipse into the air once more, and nearly out of the arena.
However, General still wasn't done with Apolkalipse as it charged in again, and sent Apolkalipse flying 4 feet into the air with 30 seconds left on the clock. General then delivered three more giant hits as the fight came to an end. Unsurprisingly the judges ruled in favor of General, putting it into the Semi-Finals where it faced Touro Classic.
General caught the circling Touro Classic by the side and flung into the corner in the beginning of the match. General was putting the pressure on the drum spinner before gaining distance. Team Riobotz switched to going head-to-head but was shot up by General’s drisk. They could not retaliate as General went in more hits, getting to the sides. One of the hits threw Touro Classic from the center to the railing. General intercepted Touro Classic's self-righting attempt and scored a huge hit. Touro Classic managed to escape a pin attempt as the other got stuck by the railing momentarily. Both spinners went for direct frontal attacks with Touro Classic still being on the losing end. However, Touro Classic managed to get to the sides of the General soon after and overturn it, which the latter capitalised with two more strikes. From then on, both teams drove patiently with General’s weapon being down. The weaponless General fended off Touro Classic before it was pinned at the corner at the end of the match. General won the 20-13 Judges’ Decision, advancing to Winners Final to face yet another Riobotz robot, Touro.
