Hello, everyone! There has been so much activity in the Altador Cup stadium this year that the Yurble cleaner has not had time to sweep up all of the stands. For that he apologises. The Altador Cup Committee insists that they will pay him overtime if he sweeps up during the evening. For now, just avoid standing on sticky floors where slushies have been spilt. Now on to the report for Day 8 (June 2nd) by SunnyNeo…

Our first match of yesterday’s line-up shows that Team Shenkuu was able to regain their footing on the mountain of statistics as they outshone Team Altador in Yooyuball, Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown, taking three wins! The Altadorian sun retaliated by sending a bright glare of misfortune on the ninjas with their uphill struggle as the gladiators Drew in Slushie Slinger. Many were expecting Team Altador to dominate the support games, but it will take more than this result to shade the sun out of the competition.

Team Moltara are doing everything in their power to avoid clean-sweeps counting against them as the engineers took on the lunar powerhouse, Team Kreludor. The Kreludans were aiming to clean-sweep their opponents with ease but were stopped short as Moltara gripped on tight to gain a Draw in Slushie Slinger. Moltara’s Left Defender, Vere Polnicek, said the fans should be proud of this achievement. “It’s not a lot but we weren’t swept! Thank you.”

It was the nightmare of the seas versus the knights of the kingdom when Team Krawk Island tried to pillage Team Meridell’s statistics settlement. The Meridellians held the fort by securing a win in the main event, Yooyuball, but despite their efforts the pirates had too much fire power making it difficult to defeat them. Led by Team Captain Garven Hale, the pirates equalled the knights with a tie in Slushie Slinger, but forced their opponents to retreat when they won Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown.

Blizzards were forecast yesterday in Darigan Citadel as a Northern Chill from Terror Mountain iced over the Citadel’s chances of a victory when their Altador Cup result practically amounted to an overall Draw. Team Darigan Citadel wrapped up well to take a win in Yooyuball but were chilled when Team Terror Mountain Drew against them in Slushie Slinger, further progressing to win both Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown. No one messes with Mother Nature this season!

Team Faerieland had a hard time against Team Virtupets as the space station squad conducted a full clean-sweep against the Faerieland Fighters. Captain Kakoni Worrill from Faerieland said that it was kind of hard levelling with an opponent who had the current leading Top Goal Scorer! Dr. Sloth approves of this clean-sweep and has taken pity on Team Virtupets, claiming he won’t tax their income by 90% and has reduced it to 85%. How considerate of him…

Team Haunted Woods found themselves trapped in Team Lost Desert's tomb as the Lost Desert squad managed to confuse the Haunties in a network of enigmatic chambers. As the sands of time ran out for the Haunted Woods team, the Lost Desert force achieved a full clean-sweep against their opponents. Caught in the sands of result disappointment, the Haunted Woods squad are starting to wish they had brought a shovel to dig themselves out of this predicament.

Team Mystery Island took on their underwater neighbours from Team Maraqua in a bid to fish up a victory yesterday. The Maraquans are used to defending home and pride in many senses of the words and forced a Draw in Yooyuball and Make Some Noise. They then continued to flood Mystery Island’s shore of statistics by claiming wins in Slushie Slinger and Shootout Showdown.

Team Roo Island are keen to do well this year as they won the games of Yooyuball, Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown yesterday. Although their opponents, Team Kiko Lake, lost overall they honed their skills to take a respectable victory in Slushie Slinger. If Tubular Kiko Racing was a qualifying Altador Cup game, the results may differ significantly!

And last but not least we come to the scholars versus the stone age squad, which sees Team Tyrannia in just another run-of-the-mill day and Team Brightvale attempting to fix an error in their statistics. The scholars reconciled a win in Yooyuball but the Tyrannians support game swept AGAIN, showing them that dinosaurs can rock the competition without being a known powerhouse.

This concludes our match report for Day 8 of the tournament. Can luck be shifting for some teams? Keep watching our Altador Cup Coverage for all sorts of Altador Cup awesomeness!
