I hope you brought your sunglasses, if only to look cool, but also they keep that bright, Altadorian sun out of your eyes as you watch your favourite players on the pitch. Anyway, SunnyNeo brings you the match report for Day 14 (June 8th) of the tournament…
In our first match-up, Team Meridell started dancing on the Slushie Slinger tables of Team Tyrannia’s statistics and merrily sang home wins in Yooyuball, Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise! The Tyrannians were forced to retain their pride by dragging back a win in Shootout Showdown. The support game-heavy Tyrannia seem to be losing their footing. Let’s just hope it’s a ruse.
Yarrg, the pirates fought against the sun yesterday as sunlight glinted menacingly off their steel blades. But these pirates are good at what they do and sent Team Altador to the depths by taking wins in Yooyuball, Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown. Team Krawk Island only managed to fend for a Draw in Slushie Slinger as the Altadorians figured enough was enough.
Moonlight penetrated the ocean depths as Team Kreludor went head-to-head with Team Maraqua, ending in a mixed result. The lunar squad secured and took home a Draw in Slushie Slinger and a win in Make Some Noise but Maraqua had the overall win with Yooyuball and Shootout Showdown to boast. The fans had quite a show!
Team Lost Desert were tripped up by Team Roo Island’s cunning as the Rooligans forced a Draw in Yooyuball and won Shootout Showdown. Team Lost Desert redeemed themselves by taking home Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise. The desert squad have not been deterred as they remain at the top of the league table but the Rooligans can pack one heck of a punch when they want to!
The Team Mystery Island versus Team Brightvale match was almost a clean split down the middle, with Yooyuball as the decider. The Mystery Islanders took the overall win by emerging victorious in Yooyuball and Make Some Noise but the Brightvalians managed to pull themselves back up by winning Slushie Slinger and Shootout Showdown. Maybe those pens need to be traded in for cooking pots.
Ah, this was a brutal but pleasant match to watch as Team Darigan Citadel rounded on their gentle adversaries from Team Faerieland. Generally the Darigans haven’t had any problems with the Faerielanders and whether it was some spurt of respect for one another, the ending result was not disastrous for any of them. The Darigans retained their dominance by winning the main event of Yooyuball and the support game Make Some Noise. Team Faerieland valiantly rose to the challenge and snagged Draws in Slushie Slinger and Shootout Showdown. “It was a nice match.” Tandrak Shaye from Team Darigan Citadel commented as he approached the press. “Faerieland have definitely improved their practice sessions. If they keep this up they could see themselves out of the lower ranks!”
On the other hand, Team Shenkuu were buried in a snowdrift yesterday as Team Terror Mountain made statement wins in Slushie Slinger, Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown. Shenkuu remained dominant in Yooyuball but are chilled by the results. Terror Mountain are freezing their competitors in their paths, leaving Shenkuu to rethink their strategy once again. That being said, they could still be contenders for the Cup, it will just take some more cunning.
Team Haunted Woods scared the life out of Team Moltara as they were the next team to clean-sweep the Moltarans. Team Captain Aldric Beign of Moltara won’t deny that his team needs to learn more in the ways of the tournament, but it is a large learning curve and maybe by the Second Round Robin they will be able to take some wins home to make their families proud.
Finally, there was the Team Virtupets versus Team Kiko Lake match, where Virtupets are still trying to establish powerhouse status and Kiko Lake are refusing to return to underdog status. Dr. Sloth’s favourite squad were too strong for the Kikos and came out with wins in Yooyuball, Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown. The Lakes weren’t fazed too much by this as they spotted a weakness and won Slushie Slinger.
That concludes our match report for Day 14 of the tournament. Remember that there will be a break in the match schedule on June 12th where you will still be able to earn team points but your team will not be against any opponents that day.

Hey! I heard that. *Watches a Yooyu go into the net* Fine, you win.
