Guest Krawk Islander Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 In a battle that both parties gave all they had, Krawk Island emerged victorious after a very close win to Kreludor in MSN and SSD. After a Standings update, we now see that both teams are literally tied for 1st place! Now that's something you don't see every day, and thus, we added a "T1" to the top 3 teams header (T1 means tied for 1st). Now, AA is with us, for our daily report: "Thanks HBK! Don't worry too much folks, nothing serious has happened to BlackJaguar this time. He just had to head over for a check-up after that incident with the Yooyu, so he should be back shortly. Hopefully you can all bear my boring monotone in the meantime. The first big match of the 9th: Krawk Island versus Kreludor. These two teams held the #2 and #1 positions on the leaderboard yesterday, but after an exhausting, no-holds-barred match, Kreludor's lead has been shattered! With the teams drawing even in Yooyuball and Slushie Slinger, the pirates' relied on their wins in both minor side games to triumph over team Kreludor, offset from the number one spot by only .05 of a point! When asked to comment on the landmark victory, a Krawk Island supporter simply said "well-deserved" before getting back to work on their next opponent, Altador. And indeed, the pirates certainly seemed to have lived up to expectations and earned the title of the favourite for this year's cup. However, the pirates aren't the only ones eyeing up this year's championship: the Darigan Citadel now sits firmly in third place after subjecting the Roos to yet another across-the-board sweep. Layton Vickles, captain of the Darigans, stated triumphantly: Thisss, my friends, isss how we plan to play for the ressst of the cup! Unfortunately, neither the Roo Island team captain, nor any of its spokespersons were available for comment, which has some analysts suspecting they may have something up their sleeve for their match against Virtupets tomorrow. Not really a day for long quotes huh? Speaking of Virtupets, the robots put on a surprisingly good showing against the Mystery Island natives, losing Yooyuball but taking all the side games to achieve a draw. They've also maintained a remarkable achievement in the first quarter of the AC double round robin, being the only team to possess a completely unchecked winning streak in a single game: namely, Shootout Showdown. Virtupets fans have remarked that they are, mathematically, outright superior at scoring, and likely they are, as not even the great powerhouse that is team Krawk Island was able to outmatch their shooting. In another clash between group 1 contenders, the Lost Desert mummies surprised team Shenkuu, dominating Slushie Slinger and Yooyuball to hand the ninjas a sound defeat. This rather abrupt end to Shenkuu's winning streak has seen them drop to group 2 on the leaderboard, although its supporters will be pushing hard to reverse that. The mummies certainly won't be resting on their laurels either however, with a match against the dreaded pirates coming up on the 11th. The Haunted Woods and Meridell both enjoyed clear (if expected) victories over Faerieland and Altador, while the Kiko Lakers scraped a slightly tighter win over the chillers. Maraqua and Tyrannia, neighbours on the leaderboard, drew even, with the mermaids claiming Yooyuball and the fossils reigning in the side games. And that's all! This is AA, reporting for The Daily Neopets, signing out." Thanks for the report, AA. Well, today is certainly an interesting day, with Mystery Island squaring off against Kreludor, and Shenkuu facing Haunted Woods. We'll see what they'll result in tomorrow.

Ms.Nikki Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 The results were really interesting. Especially Krawk Island versus Kreludor! I hadn't expected that! But I feel KI will come back next round with vengeance LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powdersnow Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Wow, Darigan swept Roo Island. Well done Layton Vickles. In a few years I see Darigan winning the AC again :thumbsup: . And Krawk Island beating Kreludor! What a great achievment! I predict Kreludors fall to 9th. Krawk Island for the cup! Does anyone know how to get out of the newbie rank?

BlackJaguar Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Wow.. such a nice results and I believe AA manage to cover them all completely (nice work AA!). It seems KI is making it's move to break away from the pack!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Wooo! Yeah! We're in the Top 3! That's what I'm talkin' about! UNH! *chest bumps the air* Kreludor vs. Krawk Island was an epic match-up indeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lia Seeya Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Good job to Darigan for getting into the top three! :D We'll make a comeback... ... Eventually. :P Anyway, I can't wait to see what happens tomorrow and if the standings will change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverkittie999 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Predictions 1. Kreludor 2. Shenkuu 2. Darigan I am not sure Kreludor will be keeping first that much longer. Don't get me wrong, I love it that we are first. I just think we will fall a little but I am hoping that Kreludor will remain in the top 3 (crosses fingers).

sasfrost Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 KI is definitely the favourite for the cup this year, and we'll do all we can to win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drea Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Epic match indeed!! :D I was really worried about it yesterday... Man I really hope we get the cup this year, it's our turn to win. *goes to play YYB* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Ryan Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Good job KI, KD, and DC. :) I think the match against SK this week will determine whether the minions can make it to the finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Michael Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 It was a great match, no doubt about it. I just don't see why everyone is predicting a drop in Kreludor. We just BARELY lost to the best team in the Altador Cup. Lets look at how well other top-tier teams did against them shall we? June 2nd- KI vs HW (W-D-W-W) Winner- KI June 3rd- KI vs SK (W-D-W-W) Winner- KI June 4th- KI vs RI (W-W-W-W) Winner- KI June 5th- KI vs DC (D-D-W-L) Winner- KI June 9th- KI vs KD (D-D-W-W) Winner- KI Now as you can see Kreludor did better against KI than every other team besides DC. However, we beat DC so this just shows that anything can happen. People need to realize that just one match won't affect the rest of the season at this stage of the game. Look at last years Shenkuu team as an example. They did completely terrible..but look what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason why you are ahead of us is because you have been up against the teams like Faerieland and Altador. After we get to those teams then we should have a much better judge on who is really ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voteforpedro333 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 As far as predictions go, I'm thinking KI, LD, SK, and KL for the top four. RI is already down a bit too low to make any sort of comeback and DC's probably gonna get tired like they did last year during the second round robin. I'm just waiting for the epicness that shall be LD vs KI on Thursday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noog Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Yay Darigans! Don't underestimate Faerieland Today! I was shocked when I saw that the power rankings showed us moving up a spot to 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonboy14080405 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Interesting predictions... I'm glad we made it into the top three today! And we are battling Faerieland and Virtupets today and tomorrow! Then we move on Maraqua and Shenkuu during the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People shouldn't say things like that because the point is you are not in front of us..the what if game just doesn't work for me. KI played Virtupets and lost 2/4 games to them so it's not like you guys are taking advantage of easy teams like we did. We deserve 1st place at this point as does KI. Period.

Batman Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 If you say that you should be ahead then i dont understand the comparison that you made. If you are trying to say that you are doing so much better then us then thats fine. But quite frankly all i am trying to say is when we have every major team in our first week and we are still keeping up then that is pretty impressive either way.

But quite frankly all i am trying to say is when we have every major team in our first week and we are still keeping up then that is pretty impressive either way. I never said that. I said that KI and KD both deserved a tie for first at the moment. You said that the only reason KD is up there is because we had an easy week.

Batman Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 No i said the reason for the tie was the easy week. I am completely convinced we will both be in the top 4. I just find it ironic that the two teams i was between are now currently 1st and 2nd place. So trust me i really do want to see you do well.

Batman Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I ment more of the fact that we haven't played every team yet. So yeah there are certain places that you have an advantage over us. That doesn't mean that you won't after we play those last few teams it just means as of now you have played the bottom two teams and we havent. enough said.
