In the opening match, Kahn, also known as Atreus, faced off against his first opponent, the Elephant kin named Gaja Ekdantay of the Ganesha tribe.
This tribe consisted of many descendant species of Behemoth, whose ancestors resembled mammoths. However, over time, the Ganesha tribe had evolved to look like other beastskins, with the exception of their distinctive elephant heads.
The upcoming match was highly anticipated by many, as both combatants were skilled Close Quarter Combat (CQC) warriors. One was an Earth elemental Warhammer warrior, while the other was a Water/Ice elemental Brawler warrior. It promised to be an intense showdown of strength and skill.
As the two fighters walked into the center of the arena, they were greeted by a legendary rank formation that had been set up across the entire space. It was clear that this match was going to be something special.
