Welcome to the Altador Cup Semi-Finals. Yesterday, Day 37 (July 1st), was Round 1 of the Semi-Finals and wow, the tensions were so high, Dr. Sloth could see it all the way from the space station! The Finals seem to be run a little differently this year, meaning that support games do seem to count towards an overall win, as many were caught off-guard with. Here is the match report...

Championship Bracket (1st-4th Place Face-off)
Team Kreludor vs. Team Roo Island: The Kreludans can TASTE gold and really want it, but the Rooligans are dying to win this as much as they are. Yesterday present the teams with a Draw in Yooyuball, which complicated matters. So to determine a win, support games were taken into account. Team Kreludor took the overall win with Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise. The Rooligans were not defeated entirely, though, as they seized Shootout Showdown.

Team Darigan Citadel vs. Team Lost Desert: It was a split match as both the Darigans and desert squad battled it out to try and get the first foot in to advance to the 1st or 2nd Place spot. Team Lost Desert were slightly stronger and won the all-important Yooyuball match with Slushie Slinger on the side. The Darigans forced a split down the middle of the results by winning Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown to retain some dominance.

Finals Bracket 2 (5th-8th Place Face-off)
Team Meridell vs. Team Maraqua: The knights nearly drowned in a very near clean-sweep from the Maraquans yesterday, as Team Maraqua won Yooyuball, Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise mercilessly. Desperate to maintain some dignity, Team Meridell secured a win in Shootout Showdown.

Team Virtupets vs. Team Krawk Island: The priates versed the Virtupets Space Station yesterday and ended up with a Draw in Yooyuball... So once more, the support games became the decider of the match. The pirates enjoy slushies and general squabbling so they gladly took the wins in Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise. Team Virtupets happily took the win in Shootout Showdown but it wasn't enough to secure an overall win.

Finals Bracket 3 (9th-12th Place Face-off)
Team Haunted Woods vs. Team Terror Mountain: Now this match-up held a few surprises. Terror Mountain practically let the snow crash onto the spooky squad's head as they won Yooyuball and Shootout Showdown! There was a Draw in Slushie Slinger as neither team could best themselves in that game but the Haunted Woods took Make Some Noise to compensate.


Semi-Finals Bracket 3 - Round 1, Day 1 goes to Team Terror Mountain over Team Haunted Woods!


Team Shenkuu vs. Team Tyrannia: Team Tyrannia's fans were in for a treat as they got the balance right and almost swept Team Shenkuu! The prehistoric squad must have had some last minute Yooyuball skills up their sleeves (as support games are their speciality) to win Yooyuball, Slushie Slinger and Shootout Showdown in one sitting. The ninjas' morale may have been stung by this result but at least the fans are still cheering them on to win Make Some Noise. Can they make the comeback they are famous for?


Semi-Finals Bracket 3 - Round 1, Day 1 goes to Team Tyrannia over Team Shenkuu!



Finals Bracket 4 (13th-16th Place Face-off)
Team Brightvale vs. Team Faerieland: No questions about who won this match. The Brightvale scholars almost gave Team Faerieland a clean-sweep with the exception of Shootout Showdown, which ended in a Draw. Can Faerieland turn it around in the second round?


Semi-Finals Bracket 4 - Round 1, Day 1 goes to Team Brightvale over Team Faerieland!


Team Kiko Lake vs. Team Mystery Island: The Islanders had a smooth game yesterday when they gained victories in Yooyuball, Make Some Noise and Shootout Showdown against the Lakes. Even though this was a bad omen for Kiko Lake, at least they clawed back a win in Slushie Slinger!


Semi-Finals Bracket 4 - Round 1, Day 1 goes to Team Mystery Island over Team Kiko Lake!



Consolation Bracket (17th-18th Place Face-off)
Team Altador vs. Team Moltara: It was a Draw across the board mostly as neither of the consolation teams could best each other in Yooyuball, Make Some Noise or Shootout Showdown. The decider settled on Slushie Slinger... which Team Moltara happily took the win in!

Note: This report has been based off the match schedule results TNT published for July 1st. There has been some confusion on the way they have decided to publish the results this year in comparison to past seasons, and we are aware that the overall standings should be based off a two-day face-off between the teams in the Semi-Finals and Finals stage. Either way, one team will win or lose in their respective brackets so do your best and good luck!
