Wow, does that Techo Super-fan ever run out of air? Because there’s plenty to cheer or yell about today. SunnyNeo brings you the daily match report for Day 7 (June 1st) of the tournament…

Team Lost Desert started the day with an easy three wins against Team Kiko Lake in Yooyuball, Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise. The Kikos did not want to be entirely submerged in quicksand as Holbie Pinnock seized a significant win in Shootout Showdown. Although Lost Desert had a crystal overall win, the Lakes are relieved that they weren’t buried in a sandstorm from the opposition. “Being buried in a rock slide in Altador Cup III was enough, thank you!” Captain “Poke” Cellers breathed, shuddering at the memory that prevented her team participating that year.

Team Brightvale are causing trouble again by obtaining a support game sweep against Team Roo Island. Forward players Lilo Blumario and Jair Tollet from Roo Island refused to be beaten by the scholars and bounced back with a win in Yooyuball. The Brightvalians are looking at a very good spot in the Finals this year if they continue with this standard.

The sun and the moon circled each other yesterday in a display of solar system entanglement. Team Altador wanted to solar flare their opponents out of the game whereas Team Kreludor wanted to force a total eclipse and end it all for the sun squad. The Kreludorks blotted out the Altadorian sun by taking wins in Yooyuball, Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown. Team Altador glowed around the edges of the moon by obtaining a Draw in Slushie Slinger.

Team Tyrannia seemed to be on a roll with Slushie Slinger, Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown after they support game swept Team Lost Desert the other day. Team Shenkuu almost encountered the same problem, except that they had braced themselves for this match-up and fought back strong. The ninjas gained a very secure win in Yooyuball and evaded a support game sweep by gaining a Draw in Shootout Showdown. Still – Team Tyrannia remain the masters of Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise – it must be the Concert Hall lifestyle shining through as an advantage for them.

Last year’s champions Team Krawk Island suffered a defeat at the hands of Team Darigan Citadel who seem to be making a comeback of sorts this season. It was a brutal match between the two rough contenders but Darigan Citadel emerged victorious after winning Yooyuball and Make Some Noise. The pirates of Krawk Island avoided a trip to Davy Jones’ Locker by taking a win in Shootout Showdown (Ol’ Dash has still got it in him!) and forced a tie in Slushie Slinger.

Now this was a significant match to watch! Team Moltara versus Team Faerieland in a face-off to determine which lower tiered team has the power to stay in the competition. The Faerielanders are certainly not looking back as they won Yooyuball, Slushie Slinger and Shootout Showdown. The Moltarans had enough team spirit to win Make Some Noise, although their search for a new manager is not looking too fruitful at the moment.

The spooks from Team Haunted Woods took on the mighty knights of Meridell yesterday and almost ended up with a four-way tie! If it wasn’t for the fans squealing in delight at the VIP appearance of the Brain Tree (don’t ask, the Altador Cup Committee are still wondering how the Brain Tree got there!) Team Haunted Woods might have gone home disappointed… instead, they came home as the overall winners with a win in Make Some Noise.

The match-up between teams Maraqua and Virtupets ended up with a mixture of results but declared Team Virtupets as the overall winners. It began with a Draw in Yooyuball, then Virtupets dominated Slushie Slinger and Shootout Showdown, finishing with a swimming win for Team Maraqua in Make Some Noise. Dr. Sloth is amused. King Kelpbeard is unimpressed. Both Yooyuball squads are baffled but not disappointed by the results as they tried to understand what happened.

Finally we arrive at the match-up between the sandy beach and frozen tundra when Team Mystery Island took on Team Terror Mountain. The tropical team proved their worth by bringing in the tides for Yooyuball, giving Mystery Island the main event win, but Team Terror Mountain snowed them in by sweeping their opponents in the support games. There’s no doubt about it, the mountaineers are here to make a statement this year!

That concludes today’s report and we still have no clue who will be taking home the trophy! Be sure to stock up one sore throat medicine if you plan to compete against the Techo Super-fan in the stadium. He has one incredible set of lungs!
