More notable "Masters Brawls" took place between 3 April and 1 May 2012 with $15 for 1st and $5 for 2nd place. From 15 May 2012 on, the prize pool had been increased to $100 and the tournament took off every two weeks. The last Master Brawl occurred on June 26th, 2012.
On 25 April 2012, a $500 showmatch between
