Another clean sweepKrawk Island retain their place at the top of the table, with a clean sweep against the home team. Altador have been consistent in blaming their Yooyuball losses on goalkeeper, Salayne Ritad, threatening to replace him in next year's Altador Cup if his performance doesn't improve. Ritad replied that at least some of the blame must go on the other players, who aren't scoring as many goals as the opposition. At that point, the referee had to separate the team before a mass fight broke out, leaving the Altador fans hoping their team will return as usual for tomorrow's games.


Roo Island are still hot on the heels of the Krawk Islanders, with another clean sweep against Virtupets. The Roos are hoping that the KI team will lose a couple of games, to allow them to take over the top position, but it remains unlikely that "Dasher" Soley and his team would do anything that generous for the opposition.


The Lost Desert are firmly in third place, with yet another clean sweep against Brightvale. The Brightvale team haven't had much luck in the Cup this year, prompting rumours that team captain, "Squeaky" Tressif, has spent too much time on his appearance, and not enough time training his team. Goalkeeper, Erli Quinnock's case of Blurred Vision from the previous day's matches has now been cured, and he was seen wearing extra thick goggles just in case The Darkest Faerie paid him a return visit.


Kreludor and Mystery Island are still battling it out for that all-important fourth place, with an exciting set of games. Kreludor's speed and strategy was no match for the Islanders, as the Kreludor team stormed through to win the Yooyuball. The Mystery Island team have been helping Rufus to serve in Berry Bash, and displayed their new-improved skills as they expertly served slushies to every thirsty fan in the queue, giving Mystery Island their 8th Slushie Slinger win. The Kreludor team shouted as loud as they could, but they could only match the MI team's volume, resulting in a draw plus a headache for the referee. But which team has what it takes to get the fourth place position?





The all-mighty Meridell faced the wrath of Tyrannia in an evenly-matched set of games. Meridell shone through in Yooyuball, but Tyrannia yodelled their way to a win in Make Some Noise. After such exhausting games, both teams had little energy left to serve the slushies, resulting in a draw for Slushie Slinger.





Shenkuu have started back on their winning form from last year, demonstrating how they made the finals last year, with a clean sweep over the Haunted Woods. Shenkuu later expressed their gratitude to their loyal fans who helped them to get their 10th win in Make Some Noise, claiming they have one of the noisiest fan bases in the entire Cup. The referee has taken head of this, and purchased some Kacheek Earmuffs to help muffle the cheering in tomorrow's contests.



Faerieland were in a state of shock after their Yooyuball win, and weren't paying enough attention to the matches to prevent Darigan Citadel from a win in all three games. Faerieland captain, Kakoni Worrill, apologised to their fans for their lack of goals, and promised they would return tomorrow in a "winning mode", as they are determined to not finish at the bottom of the table.


As we all know, Maraqua play their Altador Cup games underwater, which lead to a problem when they faced Terror Mountain. The games were delayed by an hour while the referees thawed out the playing field, after someone froze the playing surfaces. The TM team received a warning from the referee, although captain Prytariel claimed that the team members had nothing to do with it. Fortunately for Maraqua, the delay did nothing to freeze the Maraquan enthusiasm, as they managed a clean sweep across the three games. Have the TM team got what it takes to move up the table without resorting to sabotage?
