Highlight of the day for Day 22 (June 16th) of the Altador Cup... The Techo Super-fan made it into the VIP booths! (Only to be arrested moments later for not having a VIP pass. Don't worry, he's back in the stadium today yelling his head off once again.) What was that? Oh, yes! Onto our report for Day 22 of the Second Round Robin...

In the first match, the intrepid squadron called Team Virtupets took on the valiant knights from Team Meridell. There was no messing with the space station as Virtupets won the match with victories in Yooyuball and Shootout Showdown. The knights fended for a Draw in Slushie Slinger but obtained sweet success in Make Some Noise.

The pirate ghosts or ghost pirates debate rolls on like the waves as Team Krawk Island Drew the game of Yooyuball with their opponents in Team Haunted Woods. The spooky squad were thirsty for a win in something so they threw those slushies faster than the mightiest pirate in history! The pirates had a better idea and ensured they had the overall win by taking Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown. The spooky squad are glad that they are not the only ones who were cursed as past winners.

Team Shenkuu found themselves swept away at sea yesterday but managed to recover enough breath to Draw in Slushie Slinger against Team Maraqua. The Maraquans summoned their underwater forces to drown their opponents in Yooyuball, Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown. As the ninjas dried themselves off they have not lost their spirit. Captain Mirsha Grelinek said on behalf of her team, "Although this year has been difficult for us, we are not losing hope. Shenkuu's spirit will never break and we will keep trying no matter how impossible the task."

It was the vast expanse of the Lost Desert versus the scenic beaches of Mystery Island as Team Lost Desert brawled it out with Team Mystery Island yesterday. With the taunt "we have lots more sand than you!" the desert squad took home wins in Yooyuball, Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise. Vonde Cayle and Bertie Shurtz couldn't seem to beat each other in Shootout Showdown, though, and settled for a tie.

Once again, Team Tyrannia swept the support games! This time it was against those cunning scholars from Team Brightvale, who could only manage to gain a Draw in Yooyuball. "Squeaky" Tressif is not dismayed as any score that prevents being swept is a good thing. We have also received news that the Altador Cup Committee have decided to drop the disciplinary against Team Brightvale for alleged foul play on the pitch.

Another relaxing day for Team Roo Island as they waltzed in and took wins in Yooyuball, Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise against Team Terror Mountain. Captain Prytariel fought hard for her squad yesterday in Shootout Showdown and emerged victorious against Lilo Blumario. "The Rooligans are good, but I've still got fight in me!" She commented with a laugh.

It turns out that the Darigan Citadel isn't a fan of Steampunk technology, so they got the message across by winning all four Altador Cup games against Team Moltara. Although the Moltarans cannot deny that Darigan Citadel are a tough squad, they were hoping for at least a Draw somewhere. Maybe they just need to refocus on their tactics for a window of opportunity to arrive.

Congratulations to Team Altador who swept Team Kiko Lake yesterday. The Kikos had been caught off-guard this once and the gladiators made King Altador very proud of the results. "Thank you for your dedication, Team Altador." The King stated happily from his place in the VIP booth. The Kikos are disappointed but are geared up for their next opponents who might have revenge on the menu. Timu from Team Altador punched the air in joy after the match, shouting the words, "Kiko Lake won't be getting their deck chairs back this time. Haha!"

And finally we come to the Team Kreludor versus Team Faerieland match where there wasn't a magical cloud in the sky to dim Kreludor's chances in this match-up yesterday! Moonlight magic was far more superior than Faerieland magic in this face-off, giving the lunar squad the ability to gain a clean-sweep against Fyora's Fighters. The Faerielanders haven't lost the plot though as they will rally when the time is right.
