# QUARTERFINAL CHAOS: BACKSTAGE BUST-UP IN THE PRO LEAGUE EP15 powered by BRIGHT DATA

Free with YouTube's ads, posted by BattleBots.

This is no ordinary episode of BattleBots Pro League. Two Semi-Final places are up for grabs, and before the night ends tempers will boil over both in the arena and behind the scenes.

BattleBots Pro League powered by Bright Data is the toughest robot combat tournament on the planet, and the Quarter-Finals are single elimination: win and you're in the Semi-Finals, lose and you go home.

There's trouble backstage before a single blow is landed. MadCatter has come in over the weight limit, and Witch Doctor's team are flat-out refusing to step into the arena until it's fixed. MadCatter's crew are forced into a frantic race against the clock and the scales, cutting parts from their robot just to be allowed to fight. Even if they make weight, can they beat the legendary Witch Doctor?

Then it's power against intelligence. Manta, armed with the most feared drum weapon in the competition, takes on Orbitron, the AI-controlled machine that never hesitates and never panics. It's one of the most anticipated clashes of the season, but when the dust settles, the final whistle turns out to be only the beginning. What happens next will divide the pits and leave everyone asking whether the right robot is going through.

Hosted by Chris Rose and Kenny Florian, this episode has unmissable drama, defiance, and a result that won't go quietly. Don't miss a second.

Plus, we reveal two more nominees for the prestigious CoreWeave Innovation Award.

Announcer: Faruq Tauheed.
