Love is in the air! Since Avatar Korra has arrived in Republic City she only had eyes for one fellow: Mako. The feeling seemed mutual until a fateful accident intervened. Now Mako's affections have fallen right into the arms of the beautiful Asami.

Will love prove to be Korra's most formidable foe yet?

Folks, after a year of waiting the pro-bending championship is finally here. Tonight is the first set of matches in our single elimination sixteen team bracket. And I gotta tell ya, these are the most tenacious and talented bending trios this arena has ever seen.

What an explosive opening volley! Both teams quickly recover and unleash a barrage of bending. I am astonished with the level of improvement displayed here by the Fire Ferrets. No wonder the Avatar has been absent from the papers lately - she's obviously had her nose to the grindstone in the gym.

The Ferrets advance into Rabbiroo territory and are holding nothing back. Nice sprawl there by Mako. Bolin strikes, Ula dodges, and all three Rabaroos are down. The Fire Ferrets easily take round one!

The Rabaroos are looking for payback and they go straight after Bolin. Korra comes to his defense and water-whacks Ummi back into zone two! The Ferrets are on fire tonight and they win round two.

With the Rabaroos down two rounds they'll need a knockout to win, and with the way the Fire Ferrets are playing I don't see that happening. These Ferrets are working together like a well-oiled bending machine. Bolin passes Adi back into zone two and the Ferrets get the green light to advance, the Rabaroos are just fighting to stay at their feet at this point. Out goes Adi, and Ula, and Ummi!

Eight teams have been eliminated and eight advance into the quarter finals, which get underway way tonight. The rookies are about to take on the former and longest-reigning champs, the Boarcupines. Youth clashes against experience in a battle for the ages, or rather of the ages.

Korra dodges and, ooh, slams right into her teammate! Down goes Mako, and Bolin and Korra!

The Ferrets looking to mount some offense here in Round Two. Bolin lets fly a flurry of attacks, he's a one-man bending battalion. The Ferrets having a rough time finding their rhythm tonight but thanks to Bolin they narrowly notch round two. Not sure what's eating them, but this is not the same team who took out the Rabaroos.

Looks like the earthbenders will collide in the tie-breaker face-off. Bolin goes in for the grapple, Chang reverses. Bolin strikes from midair, knocking Chang to the edge of the circle. Another strike from Bolin, and Chang is in the drink.

Oh, that was a close one folks! Youth trumps experience tonight.

You can't find two teams more evenly matched in age, size, and strength than the Fire Ferrets and the Buzzard Wasps. Believe me, I've looked! This should be a pulse-pounding semifinal, folks!

The Buzzard Wasps open with a flawlessly executed combo. All three Ferrets take an early visit to Zone Two. And Mako is knocked all the way back into Zone Three! The Fire Ferrets have been struggling to stay alive since the opening bell. All three players are totally out of sync tonight.

Ooh, that has got to sting! And Bolin loses his noodles! Literally. Which reminds me, this match is brought to you by our sponsor, Flameo Instant Noodles! Noodliest noodles in the United Republic.

The Buzzard Wasps fly deeper into Ferret territory. And Mako plunges into the pool! Can the Fire Ferrets hold on? The Wasps have the Ferrets backed up to the edge now... and the Ferrets are bailed out by the bell! They'd better pull themselves together for Round Two, otherwise they can kiss the finals goodbye.

The Wasps take advantage of Mako's unforced error and Bolin is in the pool! Ooh, and a blatant hold by the Avatar!

Oh, and the Avatar is slapped with the yellow fan. The Ferrets are their own worst enemy right now. It's just sad to watch. With the Buzzard Wasps leading two rounds to zilch, the Ferrets' only hope of winning is with a knockout.

Bolin's knocked into Zone Two, followed quickly by his brother! And Bolin takes a zinger to the shoulder! Looks like it's a clean hit.

Mako's in the drink and out of the match. And Bolin keeps playing with one good arm! I gotta hand it to him, this kid's got grit! But how long can he keep it up? Apparently, not very long. The Ferrets' dream of making it to the finals now rests in the Avatar's hands. But with three on one, I don't like her odds.

What an unbelievable effort here by Korra! She's dodging every element the Wasps throw at her! The Avatar finally gains some ground, but with only ten seconds remaining, it might be too little too late! It's the big kibosh! What a knockout!

It didn't seem possible, folks, but the Fire Ferrets are headed to the finals!

With a brutal Round One knockout, the defending champs secure their spot in the finals. I hope the Ferrets know a good doctor, 'cause they're gonna need one!
