Every match makes its own tune.

The Faces of Evil threw a wrench in HPW’s plans, but HPW always has a Plan B. What will they do to deal with the FOE they must face?

Who is out? Who is in?

With this event going on three years, HPW wanted to give a few fallen Dark Horses some second chances. But then Harlequin, Militron, Glutko & Lupay walked into the Training Center and started a confrontation with Avalaunch, Blaino, Freezlord & The Great Boomerang. The latter four are now out of the running with various injuries. And while Humpback Hook Halibut and HPW management wanted to fine and suspend The Faces of Evil, the other returning Dark Horses had a different plan.

The group of Rod Wyler, Cragma, Armos Knight & Ralph argued that, for starters, the FOE aren’t all that active, what would suspending them really do? Secondly, they want to go after the FOE as payback for their fellow Dark Horses. Therefore, for Dark Horse Stampede 3’s Hyrule Warriors Qualifying Matches, we will see the members of FOE and these four returning stars be shuffled into mystery match-ups! With no one knowing who to prepare for, who will win their way into the Clash of Fates?

But wait! There’s more!

With things far from over between Arrow Club and TSDQ, they’re running it back! But it won’t just be a Trios match, and it won’t be a 4v4! It will be a TEN PERSON TAG! Mr. Eventide 2024, Yunobo, will join Fin Balure, The Young Ducks & Ruto as Groose, Skull Kid, Tingle & Ladrona are joined by the Undisputed HPW Triforce World Champion, Link! This will be a wild ride, but who holds on to go into Clash of Fates with all the momentum?
