The three Klein Cup championships in Klein/Season 1, Klein/Season 17, and Klein/Season 22 established the Butchers' "Reign of Blood." This was not a dynasty of finesse or intricate strategy - it was a dynasty of sustained, brutal dominance. The sweeps of the
Sugar Grove Eavesdroppers
and
Delaware Corporate Shells
unfolded like ritual sacrifices, rendering their grids blood-stained altars to the Butchers' wild power. The "Reign of Blood" became the soundtrack to the league's nightmares - a period where every team feared the inevitable, bloody end that awaited them at the hands of the Butchers. It was an era defined by the relentless, pounding rhythm of the Butchers' mixtape, a symphony of slaughter that echoed across the league.
And yet, in spite of the near-universal fear throughout the league, the popularity of the
Tucson Butchers
team mixtape was through the roof. Teams could not seem to stop listening to the nightmare fuel - the more they listened to the playlist, the more it ran through their heads, the more they dreamed of an ugly demise at the hands of the Butchers - but still, everyone was listening to the mixtape on an endless loop, exercising to it, eating to it, falling asleep to it. Some have speculated that the mixtape was engineered to plant fear in the league and was the genesis of the "Reign of Blood," but this remains speculation.
