Team Maraqua (MQ)
Default Formation: 1 + 3
Water We Waiting For? Let’s Ride The Wave of Victory!
While Team Maraqua fell in the rankings from their 3rd place finish during Altador Cup XVI, they didn’t fall far. 5th place isn’t bad – but it wasn’t good enough for Elon Hughlis. He pushed his team to train tirelessly, to the point he encouraged them to skip out on helping their aquatic communities and cleaning up a strange influx of… “celebratory souvenirs” from Kreludor.
When he confronted his teammates about their so-called “slacking,” they all realised that the friction between Hughlis and the rest of them wasn’t just because of their captain’s arrogance – it was because he didn’t trust them. Facing this hard truth, he fled, though nobody truly knows where. “Good riddance” was the general sentiment, until Altador Cup XX began to approach and Hughlis returned with his proverbial tail between his legs. Or so it seemed…
“I took some time to myself to cool down,” Hughlis said (at this remark, Barit Jowes scoffed and muttered under his breath, “Yeah, nearly 11 months,” just loudly enough to be heard). Hughlis sent his teammates, gathered a short distance away, a wary glance. “Even if we’re still not all of the same mindset, I wasn’t about to miss this year’s tournament. So we’ll all just have to deal with each other.”
Despite the outwardly cold relations between the team members, some suspect it’s just for show. Tonie Plessix, Team Maraqua’s goalkeeper, admitted that it was “good to see [Hughlis] again” and that he was “worried” about his teammate. “Yeah, we might disagree on some things, and he may not trust us all the time, but we’re still friends, and we all want to win. There’s a lot of respect there, you know?”
When asked if any of his teammates knew of Hughlis’s whereabouts during those months he was missing, none of them had an answer, and Hughlis himself was rather cagey with the details, denying that any sightings of “a Maraquan Acara darting through the kelp forests” or “a pair of big yellow eyes watching other Yooyuball teams’ practices” had anything to do with him. Time will tell if Hughlis’s time away had any impact on team dynamics, and if Team Maraqua can keep cool enough heads to bring the Cup home!
