Hello and welcome to SunnyNeo's match report for Day 21 (June 15th) of the Altador Cup tournament. Remember to always lock your Yooyuball cage before you leave the house... Let's begin with a couple of random matches because it's just one of those days where Draws are scattered everywhere!

In the match between Team Kiko Lake and Moltara, the was a small core meltdown as the Moltarans boiled Kiko Lake! Unable to establish dominance over one another, the two hardy squads took a Draw in Yooyuball and Shootout Showdown, leaving the Kikos to take the win in Slushie Slinger and the Moltarans to take a win in Make Some Noise. Not sure what did it, but the newest team to the tournament are fighting back!

It was another close face-off as the knights and the Maraquans duelled underwater... Hmm, metal suits in water? Not a good combination for Team Meridell as Team Maraqua won Yooyuball and forced a tie in both Slushie Slinger and Shootout Showdown. The knights weren't rusty enough to suffer a complete loss, as they won Make Some Noise... which was more like "make some gurgling sounds" given that shouting underwater is somewhat difficult for landlubbers!

The scholars prepared their pens and paper as the gladiators entered the stadium... Team Brightvale had been studying their opponents as they managed to win Yooyuball and Slushie Slinger. Team Altador's fans were ultimately more excited, as they soundly won Make Some Noise. Neither team could best each other in Shootout Showdown, ending in a Draw and a truce.

Team Darigan Citadel were not impressed when the pirates from Team Krawk Island ran in and stole a victory in Yooyuball from them! So the Darigans got their own back and seized wins in both Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise. Slightly ticked off by this, both teams fought it out in Shootout Showdown, only to be announced a Draw at the end. Nevermind!

It was an interesting game to witness when Team Tyrannia went head-to-head with Team Virtupets, as the Tyrannians seemed to struggle a bit with the support games. The prehistoric squad and Dr. Sloth's favourites managed a tie in Yooyuball, but Virtupets were more eager for a win, so they gladly swiped victories in Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown. The Tyrannians maintained their Slushie Slinger power, though, as they brought home a win in said support game.

Shenkuu's misty mountain was unable to forecast an icy chill from Terror Mountain's Northern winds and unfortunately left home without a jacket or gloves... Team Shenkuu's Yooyuball squad remained strong as they achieved a win in the main event, but the mountain became too slippery and the support games slid out of reach. Team Terror Mountain were conditioned for these situations and gladly won Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown. Slushie Slinger remained neutral territory as both teams Drew in that game.

The Mystery Islanders will be sleeping with one eye open tonight as yesterday Team Haunted Woods spooked wins in Yooyuball, Slushie Slinger and Shootout Showdown! Team Mystery Island climbed up the vines of statistical recovery by winning Make Some Noise. The Islanders diet of fruit must give them a very good vocal range.

The titans in the form of Team Kreludor and Team Lost Desert battled it out for dominance yesterday, knowing that they would not get another chance to do so unless they meet again in the Finals round. In an impressive turn of events, Team Kreludor used the dark side of the moon tactics to confuse the desert squad as they won Yooyuball, Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown tirelessly! The Lost Desert team gagged for water as they reached out for that Draw in Slushie Slinger... Mmm... slushies...

And the last report of the day: The Team Roo Island versus Team Faerieland match was... VERY colourful! Lots of blues, yellows, reds, greens, pinks and purples littered the stadium accompanied by roaring fans and the jangle of Rooligan bells. Lilo and co. managed simple wins in Yooyuball, Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown, where as Fyora's Fighters redeemed themselves for a win in Slushie Slinger. What a magical spectacle to behold!
