The results from the first day of the Second Round Robin are in as each team strives to do their best in the ranks in the run towards the Finals! Today we have our match report for Day 19 (June 13th) of the tournament. Hold onto your hats...

In our first match-up, geological rivals clashed as the kingdoms of Brightvale and Meridell went head-to-head. King Skarl taunted his clever brother as his knights almost swept the board Old Skool style! "Yooyuball, Make Some Noise and Slushie Slinger. THREE WINS, HAGAN! Eat my dust, brainiac." Skarl mocked King Hagan whilst chewing on some chicken. "Oh shush, brother dear." Hagan remarked in a somewhat displeased manner. "We won Slushie Slinger... so our team has a higher endurance for boredom." Not something to boast about, Hagan...

In our second match-up Team Krawk Island were beached on the Lost Desert and did battle with the Sakhmet squad in the baron land. The pirates grabbed an amazing win in Yooyuball but succumbed to Team Lost Desert's wrath when it came to the support games. The desert squad won both Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise but had to settle for a Draw in Shootout Showdown. The Krawkstars' only problem after that match was how they were going to tow their statistics ship out of the sand dunes.

Jair Tollet and Elon Hughlis from teams Roo Island and Maraqua respectfully, groaned when they saw that their teams would be facing so soon again on the schedule. Reluctantly they took to the field and "got the match over with"... ending in a victory for Jair and Team Roo Island as they took Maraqua down in Yooyuball and Shootout Showdown. The Maraquans can never leave without a win, so they settled for wins in Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise instead.

Team Tyrannia's songs rocked on all night until Team Altador's sunset... and amidst the cheers of countless fans the Tyrannians gained an encore. The prehistoric squad showed Altador how REAL music was to be played by winning all four games! The sun squad did not get booed off stage but their VIP backstage passes to success were under threat of being revoked from the clean-sweep. One day Team Altador will be that bright burning star of the show that their team logo suggests optimistically.

Is there ice on the moon? No, I didn't think so. Team Kreludor took a heat ray to Team Terror Mountain yesterday as they obtained wins in Yooyuball and Slushie Slinger. The mountaineers weren't affected by lunacy, though, as they forced a Draw in Make Some Noise and won Shootout Showdown. Terror Mountain will need more than the Heart of the Mountain to heal their start to the Second Round.

The doom bringers from Team Darigan Citadel reigned pain on Team Kiko Lake as they threw the underdogs in the dungeons and won Yooyuball, Make Some Noise and Slushie Slinger. The Lakes put their crafting skills to use and picked the lock of their statistics prison to sneak out a Draw in Slushie Slinger. Good work, Kikos!

Reports of spooky goings-on in Moltara came through yesterday as Team Haunted Woods scared Team Moltara out of some wins. The spectral wonders howled their way to victory in Yooyuball, Slushie Slinger and Shootout Showdown. The Moltarans were shaken but soon returned some Moltaran Magic by forcing a Draw in Make Some Noise. Uh... if someone could wake the commentators from their trance from this spellbinding event, we'd be very grateful!

Team Virtupets were left in pieces after the ninjas from Team Shenkuu dismantled the robots with lightning speed to win Yooyuball, Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise respectively. XL Striker 3.8 rebuilt his system in good time for Shootout Showdown as he delivered a perfect win for Dr. Sloth's preferred team. Noodles or wires? Chopsticks beat screwdrivers in this round!

And last but not least, it was a mixed result for Team Faerieland versus Team Mystery Island as Fyora's Fighters fought back! The Islanders spotted weaknesses straight away in the Faeries' Yooyuball and Make Some Noise games, but the Faeries gave them a backhanded slap with a victory in Shootout Showdown and a fair tie in Slushie Slinger. Team Mystery Island did not forecast a cloudy day, that's for sure.
