In an epic two day final, Faerieland proved that they are not just a set of pretty little players, winning their Yooyuball match against Brightvale. The Brightvale team retaliated with wins in Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise, but even then, they were unable to beat the fantastic Faerieland team in the battle for 15th place.
Following the disappointing score sheet of the home team, Virtupets were clear favourites to win. Unfortunately, Keetra Deile and the Virtupets team were over confident of success in the finals, and had given up with any more training. The late night training efforts of the Altador team, combined with some good Altadorian Food proved to be a winning recipe, with the home team getting a well-earned clean sweep over the space station. With such an exciting final, the Altador fans are certain their team will finish even higher in next year's cup.
Terror Mountain faced the terrible Tyrannians in the battle for 11th place overall. The Tyrannians were on top form for Slushie Slinger, showing off their serving skills to the fans by serving while blindfolded. Even with the advantage of playing with no blindfolds, Terror Mountain were unable to beat the Tyrannians, leaving the Terror Mountain fans hoping for a win in the other two games. The Tyrannians were unstoppable in the Yooyuball match, with the luck of getting multiple Fire Yooyuballs in a row assisting them to another win. As the Make Some Noise contest commenced, the Terror Mountain fans realised that they were no longer in with a chance of getting 11th place, but they put as much effort into their finals cheers for the year as they could. Tyrannia, however, were cheering even louder, with the referee ending the contest early to stop himself from getting another headache. Terror Mountain captain Prytariel later commented that although the team would have liked to be 11th overall, they were very happy with 12th place, and hinted at some new training regimes in preparation for next year's cup.
Mystery Island had a surprising loss in their Slushie Slinger final against opponents Maraqua. The Maraquans had been training to improve their skills across all the cup games, and their Slushie Slinger win put them in a good mood for Make Some Noise. The Mystery Island team fans had been saving their best cheers for the finals as they drowned out the Maraquan cheering making it one win each as their final game approached. The Maraquans were insistent on an underwater Yooyuball game and much to their surprise Mystery Island captain Volgoth agreed. Unknown to the Maraquans the Islanders had been practising their underwater Yooyuball techniques. Mystery Island's underwater skill left the Maraquans stunned, allowing Mystery Island to take the lead and the eventual Yooyuball win, plus ninth place overall.
Last year's winners Darigan Citadel have finally found their winning form, but some may say they took too long in finding it. Nevertheless the Citadel set the pace with a blistering turn of speed in Yooyuball. Haunted Woods goalkeeper Fanetti couldn't follow the yooyuball's progress quickly enough, resulting in a well-earned win for the Citadel. They maintained the speed in Slushie Slinger, amazingly not dropping a single slushie compared to the 10 that the Haunted Woods dropped. The Haunted Woods team know they had no chance of beating the Citadel overall, and in a surprising gesture of goodwill the Haunted Woods fans joined forces with the Darigan Citadel fans to win the Make Some Noise contest for Darigan.
The Kreludor team have displayed an impressive array of skill and agility in the cup this year, despite their absence on half price day. The games started with Make Some Noise which was won by Kreludor after Meridell's use of team megaphones earned them a disqualification. The mighty Meridellians were unfazed at the Make Some Noise result, serving an astonishing number of slushies to win the Slushie Slinger game hands down. With one game win apiece it was all to play for in Yooyuball with both teams' goalkeepers intent on saving every goal attempt possible. Unfortunately Kreludor's goalkeeper Jurin T. was suffering from a mild case of blurred vision, preventing him from focusing on the approaching yooyuballs. Despite Kreludor's Yooyuball loss, leaving Meridell to take fifth place overall, Kreludor captain Derlyn Fonnet said the team had thoroughly enjoyed the cup and that they are now looking forward to returning next year.
Shenkuu had their hearts set on third place overall as they faced the Lost Desert. Shenkuu's games got off to flying start with a Make Some Noise win, closely followed by victory in Slushie Slinger. As the Yooyuball commenced it was still all to play for, as Lost Desert's goalkeeper Leera Heggle saved every potential goal that came towards the Lost Desert goalmouth. Shenkuu were unable to score any goals, resulting in a well-deserved win plus the third place trophy for the Lost Desert.
Saving the best until last, the final games of the day saw the remaining battle of the Islanders, for first and second places overall. Roo Island had been training all night in preparation for the finals and their dedication paid off with an easy Yooyuball win. The Krawks were determined to not be beaten in the other two games, with "Dasher" Soley leading the KI team to a Slushie Slinger victory. Although the Krawks knew there was no chance of them bringing the cup home this year they still gave a resounding cheer to win Make Some Noise. The ultimate champions of the Altador Cup this year are the Roos, who are taking the first place trophy home this year, in the hope that it will ward off Count von Roo.
