There's no business like show business like no business like GOOOAAALLLL!!! *Ahem!* Sorry, been hanging out with the Altador Cup Commentators too much. We have arrived at the match report for Day 29 (June 23rd) of the tournament and there have been very few Draws to tell about. Read on for more...

In our first match, Team Haunted Woods summoned spirits to haunt Team Meridell during their games... Sligthly distracted by an army of zombies, Meridell were only able to Draw in Yooyuball and Shootout Showdown as they spent most of their time fearing for their lives. Using this to their advantage, Team Haunted Woods gained the last two wins in Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise.

Team Lost Desert managed to upperhand Team Tyrannia by giving them a hard time in the support games as well as in Yooyuball! The desert squad marched in and whipped up wins in Yooyuball and Slushie Slinger, and they grabbed a Draw in Slushie Slinger for good measure on their way out of the stadium. Shocked, Team Tyrannia clinged onto their last hope, a win in Shootout Showdown against Vonde Cayle.

The island of mystery went against the island of piracy yesterday... and the pirates looted the Tiki Tack Shop, the Tropical Food Stall (they don't want to get scurvy now), the Mystery Island Training School and the Deserted Tomb in Geraptiku for a laugh. Team Krawk Island actually won Yooyuball, Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown, cutting out the banter about what pirates do on a weekend. Team Mystery Island ended up trading in their tasty grogs for icy slushies as they milked a win for Slushie Slinger.

The sun still failed to penetrate the glassy oceans of Maraqua... which is a good thing for the Maraquans because their Altador Cup team took home wins in Yooyuball, Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown respectfully. Team Altador shone brightly across the choppy waves and won Slushie Slinger honourably.

Kreludor are not interested in steam-powered technology and promptly made a point against it by sweeping Team Moltara across the board. Team Kreludor thanked the Moltarans for a good match though, and state that there might be hope for them next year as stronger contenders if they work really hard for it.

The Rooligans dived into Kiko Lake, swam around, ate some candyfloss and celebrated wins in Yooyuball, Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown whilst watching the sunset. Team Kiko Lake tried their chances and rolled the dice, gaining a lucky win in Slushie Slinger against Team Roo Island.

Team Faerieland had to trade quills for ballpoints (wow, a hidden pun!) in their match against Team Brightvale, but came up short and lost all four games to the scholars. I guess it was the Library Faerie's day off otherwise the scores might have been a bit more... legible for Faerieland...

The Darigans were a little bit wary of Team Shenkuu (given the fact that they swept the ninjas in the First Round) as they braced themselves for a strong retaliation. This retaliation wasn't as difficult as Team Darigan Citadel expected, because of a few well-placed distractions they won Yooyuball, Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise! Shenkuu's Team Captain, Mirsha Grelinek, got her own back by winning Shootout Showdown to prevent a clean-sweep against them.

And in our last match of the day (yesterday) Team Virtupets proved that that light sabres really CAN melt snow as they faced Team Terror Mountain in a rather biased match. Dr. Sloth's favourites won Yooyuball, Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise, but fell short as Terror Mountain cold-snapped up a win in Shootout Showdown.

Play well, everyone! The Second Round Robin is inching towards a close. The second tournament break day is on June 30th, same rules as the break day that occurred on the 12th June. Stay up-to-date with our Altador Cup Coverage this season on SunnyNeo!
