INVITATIONAL

INVITATIONAL is the fifth and final episode of Season 1 of the MiiPU, airing on August 10th, 2019. The namesake for this one is that an "Invitational" is where you are invited to a special event. This is a special event because only the Top 16 fighters were invited to see who the best truly was.

This tournament's plot revolved around the 16 best fighters of the Season gathering together and having a tournament to see who's the best of Season 1. This was decided by whether or not a fighter made it to Top 4 in a previous episode (in the same season). This will continue to be the theme for Season finales. This tournament is considered excellent match-wise. With fights like BlueWolf Vs. Matthew and Yibhidho and BlueWolf having viewers at the edge of their seats. The thug finals match (Yibhidho Vs. Hero) was also very good and one of the best Thug Finals matches to date. INVITATIONAL also had some returns of very notable fighters that haven't been seen since early episodes like INAUGURATION and THE OTHER GUYS. An example of one of these fighters is Walker, who hasn't been seen since the very first tournament. The commentary was also very good and had some comedic moments. One of them being "How many Police Officers does it take to screw in a Light Bulb?" However, this joke's punchline was skipped. Yibhidho was able to create history by becoming the first ever fighter to win two tournaments. Her finals match in this tourney was against BlueWolf, this fight was very thrilling and is considered one of the best. She proved that she truly was the champion after defeating Hero in Thug Finals and because of this earned a sponsorship with Alienware.
