Hello NC Bladers! It is I, Dr. Doofenshmirtz, and I'm back with my newest invention: The Dynamiteinator! With this, I'll take over the NC Metro Area!
You see, back in my days in Drusselstein, all the bladers made fun of me for my non-customizable XTS System Beyblade. But now, with my Dynamiteinator, I will exact revenge upon all of them!
Also, the tournament will be capped at 18 participants.
