It's all eyes to the finals as the battle for supremacy heats up. The referee has insisted that all scores be kept under-wraps until the end of the play-off rounds, so instead of a match report, today we're bringing you a special feature - a short interview with a member of each team, on their plans for play-off, and final round success.
Krawk Island's "Dasher" Soley: Well, we have multiple plans for success, but seeing as we're up against Shenkuu, I seriously don't think we'll need to use them. I mean, with a score sheet like ours, who needs to be worried about winning the play-offs? It's guaranteed.
Roo Island's Lilo Blumario: We are relieved to not be facing Krawk Island in the play-offs, but we're not going to be complacent. Lost Desert are a formidable opponent, and we're going to do everything we can to beat them. We've been training hard, specifically for the finals and we want to take the first place trophy back to Roo Island, as it's rumoured to ward off certain vampire Roos.
Lost Desert's Leera Heggle: Having finished in 5th place last year, we're just pleased to have our rightful place in the finals this time round. We're not going to be changing any of our tactics - our skill and agility is what got us here, and we're going to stick with the tried and tested way of winning. Believe me, Roo Island won't know what hit them!
Shenkuu's Mirsha Grelinek: I'm sorry, I don't have time to discuss tactics - we're in the middle of a very important training session, which we must finish if we want a chance of being at the top this year. What's that? You want me to give a team slogan? Oh okay then, "Good Friends, Good Food, Good Fortune!"
Kreludor's Derlyn Fonnet: We do have some secret weapons in our plan for Neopian domination. Oops, of course I meant in our plan to win the play-off round. We are facing a much more experienced Yooyuball team, but I know that we can succeed this year, and get into the final round.
The referee sent out a search for "Wizard" Windelle and the Meridell team, following their failure to turn up at the colosseum this morning. They were later discovered wandering through the streets of Altador, trying to find the Souvenir shop, returning with embarrassment when they were reminded that there isn't a Souvenir shop for the Cup this year.
Darigan Citadel's Layton Vickles: Regardless of what the score table says, Darigan are taking the cup home with them this year. Even if we have to prise it out of the grasp of Krawk Island.
Haunted Wood's Krell Vitor: We do have some plans for success in the play-off rounds. They're totally hush-hush at the moment, but I can reveal that we have invited some special guests to the play-offs: the Esophagor, Brain Tree and Edna.
The Mystery Island team were unavailable for comment, having been spotted shopping for stat boosters.
Tyrannia's Harlis Neyhbol: Ugg Ugg, Trarrr, Ugga Ugg!
Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to interview the only Tyrannian player to not speak English?
Maraqua's Elon "The Black Hole" Hughlis: We will definitely beat Tyrannia, after all we are the very best team in Maraqua, so how can we lose?!
Terror Mountain's Prytariel: Providing the Mystery Island team don't bring any neohome heaters or anything like that, we're sure that we can win at least one of our games in the play-offs. We don't mind if we win or lose now, it's just such a great feeling to not finish in the bottom four teams!
Virtupets' Keetra Deile: Play-offs? Against Faerieland? We're guaranteed to win: we don't even need to train for these games, it'll be as easy as pie.
Altador's "Trapper" Remis: Yes, we do have a plan for the play-offs. We're planning on turning the signposts around so no other teams can find their way to the colosseum to participate. Well, as we found last year that is the only way we can still win the Cup this year. I do think we stand a good chance over Brightvale, but I don't want to jinx our chances of success by saying any more.
Brightvale's "Squeaky" Tressif: I think that as a team, we have done well this year. We've been plagued by bad luck and illness, so to be in the play-off round against Altador gives us a real chance of getting through to the final round. On behalf of the Brightvale team, I just want to say "good luck" to Altador - may the best team win.
Faerieland's Kakoni Worrill: We're not overly worried about the play-offs. Good always triumphs over bad, so there's no contest against Virtupets. "Underdogs always come out on top!"
