Another intense day of matches brings another exciting report from SunnyNeo about Day 3 (May 28th) of the Altador Cup tournament. With more upsets and fights to the finish, we bring you the latest news...
Let’s begin with Team Haunted Woods versus Team Darigan Citadel. Both teams proved to be equals with a tie in Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown. Darigan Citadel took wins in Yooyuball and Slushie Slinger to the sheer delight of their supporters. Team Haunted Woods commented that their new player, “Brains” Mortigan, is okay after his ear fell off mid-match. Captain Krell Vitor reassured supporters that a loss of limb is normal for zombies and that a few hundred stitches returned the zombie back to normal. Sadly that distraction prevented them from grasping a win.
It appears that Team Faerieland is really kicking dust into their opponents’ eyes by seizing a Draw in Yooyuball and Slushie Slinger. Defender Delma Harrence says, “We’re really on form this year! All of our practice is paying off. I hope Queen Fyora is proud of us." Team Tyrannia managed a win in Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown. The prehistoric squad are competing well this year.
This was one of those matches to watch because of monarch sibling rivalry. King Skarl’s Team Meridell versed King Hagan’s Team Brightvale in a fight to the death! (Okay, that was an exaggeration, but it was a heated face-off.) Team Brightvale had hopes of becoming the next best thing since sliced bread (TOASTED bread for all you fans out there) but only managed to secure a win in Slushie Slinger. King Skarl laughed hard, calling his brother’s team a “joke”. King Hagan grumbled about his disappointment in their loss of Yooyuball, Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown and says his team will need to study their opponents more. Captains “Squeaky” Tressif and “Wizard” Windelle have not let their kings’ disputes affect their sportsmanship as they remain on neutral terms with one another.
Now let’s move on to the burning hot Team Moltara versus the flash freezing Team Terror Mountain in a battle of the elements! During the match-up yesterday, Team Terror Mountain buried Moltara in a blizzard of skill, claiming wins in Yooyuball, Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown. Captain Prytariel said after the game; “I was expecting them to beat us in at least one game, I am very proud of my team and our supporters.” Team Moltara scrambled a tie in Slushie Slinger, though, and say that their debut start to the tournament could have been better.
Team Krawk Island retained their dignity yesterday by sinking Team Kiko Lake’s glass bottom boat, stealing a victory in Yooyuball, Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown. Kiko Lake found a hole in the pirates’ hull and exploited their weakness in Slushie Slinger, winning one for the Lakes. With tactics like that they’re looking at the big leagues.
This was an incredible match between teams Virtupets and Mystery Island, which ended up with an upset for the Islanders. Team Virtupets shocked the colosseum by deploying expert tactics in Yooyuball, Slushie Slinger and Shootout Showdown. Both sides managed to equal each others’ vocal chords in Make Some Noise, ending in a tie. Dr. Sloth transmitted a message via Neovision to send his approval of their successes and if they get into the Top Three, their homes might be spared. Teylor Nix from Mystery Island says that it took them by surprise but they’ll get their own back on the space station team!
On to the first sweep of yesterday, it was sun versus sea when Team Altador took on Team Maraqua. Despite performing extremely well the past few days, the Altadorians were unable to tame the waves and found themselves dragged away by the Maraquan currents. Team Maraqua took home four wins yesterday – with Team Captain Elon Hughlis taking all the credit for it as is his nature. Team Altador have not given up yet, they still have plenty to prove.
Then there was the clash of the teams under the title “favourites to win the tournament” after taking home Third and Second Places respectfully last year. Team Lost Desert crossed scimitars and katanas with Team Shenkuu in one of the most anticipated matches of the season. When the dust settled there was a clear victor... Team Lost Desert had emerged as the winners without a single loss! Later, Captain Leera Heggle said that the spirit of King Coltzan had appeared to him the night before the match as a sign of fortune to come for them... and it did! Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Team Shenkuu stated that the ninjas congratulate the desert squad and stressed that their spirit has not broken from the losses. Although the rare use of a spokesperson on behalf of Team Shenkuu leads fans to believe that an injury may have occurred during the Yooyuball match as their Team Captain always makes a public appearance, win or lose. Expert riverboarders Cassile and Bowe say that they plan to travel down to Altador to lend Shenkuu extra support in the stands. Last night celebrations went on for Team Lost Desert in a chorus of cheers.
Finally we come to the scuffle between Team Kreludor and Team Roo Island, which set the Rooligans back in the stands. The Kreludorks safely launched the Rooligans’ dreams into orbit by achieving yet another clean-sweep in the First Round Robin. Team Roo Island held no grudges against the Kreludans for claiming the victories. “What can I say? It was a fair match.” Captain Lilo Blumario shrugged, smiling despite the results. “We did our best – next time we will do better!” Jurin T. from Kreludor made special appearance merchandise signing at the entrance of the stadium last night to thank their supporters for being amazing.
This season looks to be more and more perplexing as the First Round Robin continues to throw obstacles in each teams’ way. Have stronger teams from last year really fallen or are the once lower tiered teams here to stay as top contenders? Stay up-to-date with our Altador Cup Coverage as the plot thickens!
