Hello again, I hope none of you have gone deaf yet from the Make Some Noise competitions… I’m certainly losing my voice from all the cheering! SunnyNeo brings you the match report for yesterday’s match-ups in Day 11 (June 5th) of the Altador Cup…

Let’s begin with a momentus match where Team Lost Desert made the mistake of crossing paths with Team Mystery Island and lost Yooyuball! Shocking? A little bit, but no team is invincible after all. The Mystery Islanders held a huge feast (of fruit) afterwards in celebration of the victory. Team Lost Desert redeemed themselves with a support game sweep.

King Kelpbeard and Captain Scarblade watched this match keenly yesterday as nemesis squads Team Maraqua clashed with Team Krawk Island. Maraqua have been pretty resilient by protecting and rebuilding their home under the sea, whereas Krawk Island pirates have been very efficient at destroying the subterranean settlement. Good thing for King Kelpbeard that Team Maraqua fended off the pirates by winning Yooyuball and taking a Draw in Slushie Slinger but not ones to go down without a battle, the pirates emerged victorious in Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown. Captain Scarblade promises a “visit” to Maraqua in the near future (no doubt bringing cannons and crew).

The sun was no contest for the ominous floating citadel as Team Darigan Citadel cast a huge shadow over Team Altador by taking a clean-sweep! Captain Layton Vickles of Darigan Citadel says, “Who are we facing next?” Team Altador won’t take that comment lying down and vouch to do better in the next face-off.

Team Tyrannia more or less already had a support game sweep ready for Team Moltara by default yesterday, but it was the final blow to the Moltarans when the prehistoric squad won Yooyuball as well. Morale is quite low for Moltara right now but it seems that they are interviewing potential new managers right this minute for possible better prospects.

Well, Kakoni Worrill (Faerieland’s Team Captain) wasn’t expecting a fantastic result when Team Faerieland took on Team Haunted Woods yesterday, but they were disappointed when the spooks swept them in all four matches. In Kakoni’s defence, he did gasp, “That zombie is dangerous! Poor Ciona was almost eaten by that monster!” Captain Krell Vitor argues that his new player “Brains” Mortigan should not be discriminated against for his supernatural instincts. “Apologies to Team Faerieland,” Krell began calmly after the game, “But Brains cannot be held responsible for trying to eat brains. It is his natural food source. We have hired a hypnotist to try and deal with the issue but zombies will be zombies.”

The moon cast a bright glow over the lake as Team Kreludor outshone Team Kiko Lake in Yooyuball, Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown. The Kikos prevented Kreludor from sweeping them by locking them in a Draw (no, a game tie, not a chest of drawers!) in Slushie Slinger. “Kreludor maybe strong but we fought back okay. A Draw is better than losing all four games!” Captain “Poke” Cellers of Kiko Lake remarked with a sigh.

The stealthy ninjas took on the schooled scholars when Team Shenkuu fought against Team Brightvale for superiority. Brightvale have become an overnight powerhouse this year by winning most of their matches, and aware of Shenkuu’s victory of Yooyuball against Team Kreludor the other day, the scholars pulled out all the stops and played like there was no tomorrow yesterday. Strictly speaking, that revved-up attitude should have gained Team Brightvale an easy sweep, but the ninjas are back on form and rose to the challenge against them, raising morale once more. Shenkuu seized wins in Yooyuball and Shootout Showdown whilst Brightvale forced a Draw in Make Some Noise and secured a win in Slushie Slinger. Both teams congratulated one another after the match as both put in an immense amount of effort.

With a hop and a skip and a tra-la-la… Team Roo Island took an overall win yesterday by snagging wins in Yooyuball and Shootout Showdown. Team Virtupets initiated “Operation Stop Sweep” by forcing a Draw in Slushie Slinger and taking a win in Make Some Noise. Whilst the Rooligans are blissfully advancing in the tournament, Dr. Sloth warned Team Virtupets that their objective is to win the Altador Cup, not to be defeated. Captain Keetra Deile of Virtupets says that her team is fine and that XL Striker 3.8 needs a bit of maintenance, that’s all!

Finally there was the Team Meridell versus Team Terror Mountain match where the knights were able to conquer the icy mountain by winning Yooyuball and Make Some Noise. Terror Mountain froze Team Meridell in their armour by snapping wins in Slushie Slinger and Shootout Showdown. A fifty-fifty split but Meridell’s Yooyuball victory gave them the overall win.
