Who do you think I am? Let’s go, just around the corner, I’m starving over here. Altador Cup? Hah! Funny one, I came here for the- Huh rolling? We’re rolling? Greetings to all you good looking people of Neopia! Now I’m aware your all probably wondering who this ridiculously charming, incredibly handsome reporter is. I know, I can’t help but to stare either. You can call me Smokey, and I am coming to you LIVE from Altador. Ahem, now onto the day seven results of the Altador Cup. It appears that we have a clear winner in the Virtupets versus Lost Desert match. Not too much of a surprise here to see that Virtupets nearly swept last year’s champs, taking Yooyuball, Make Some Noise, and Shootout Showdown. Leaving Slushie Slinger to go to a draw. After yesterday’s much needed win against Tyrannia, many hoped that the streak would continue for Lost Desert. However after a thorough beating from Virtupets who knows where morale is at for these former champions. A bit of a different mood is now sweeping fans of Darigan Citadel. It seems that they managed a clean sweep today against Shenkuu, with Darigan taking wins in every game. Shenkuu has had a rough start in this year’s competition losing to the majority of the teams they have faced. We hope to see Shenkuu gain the wind in their sail’s that they so desperately need. <img src="https://images.neopets.com/altador/altadorcup/2011/teams/krawkisland_4.gif" alt="Zayle Sufhaux" style="float:right;margin:5px;" />I am getting word that results for the highly anticipated Terror Mountain, Krawk Island match-up are now available. Wow, it looks like Krawk Island won this one fair and square with a win in both Yooyuball as well as a draw in Shootout Showdown. Leaving the Chillers to pick up a win in Make Some Noise and Slushie Slinger. Now sitting at 5th place on the standings, Krawk Island is really going to have to pick up the pace on their slushie slinging ability if they hope to get back into that coveted top tier. All this talk of slushies is making a fella thirsty… Hey kid! Gimme that! [thump] [hysterical crying] Oh for crying out loud, why don’t you man up you little chump. [slurp] Ahh that’s the stuff… Oh! Right! Back to the results. Before we were so rudely interrupted *cough* whiny little brat *cough* I received word on the Roo Island, Moltara showdown. This turned out to be a decisive win! And you’ll never guess who won! Just kidding actually, Roo Island won… [silent whimper] Roo Island managed to pick up wins in Yooyuball, Slushie Slinger, and Shootout Showdown. However, Moltara stood up and took a win in Make Some Noise. This ended their three day sweep streak. So congratulations to both teams… I guess. Unfortunately I have a spot of bad news… you ready for it? Okay here we go, I am currently seeing someone… Hah! You all fell for it didn’t you!? Don’t go beating yourself up now, I’m only kidding. Actually if you’re on team Brightvale just go ahead and stay sad because unfortunately Kreludor has claimed victory in your match-up. Its true folks, Kreludor managed to sweep our friends from Brightvale. Brightvale must remember to stay chipper if they wish to get right back into the top ten teams. For now they sit at 11th on the standings. <img src="https://images.neopets.com/altador/altadorcup/2011/teams/maraqua_4.gif" alt="Barit Jowes" style="float:left;margin:5px;" /> I think it’s safe to say that both Maraqua and Haunted Woods have been interesting teams to watch this season. However, today one of them stepped up and took home the win. Congratulations to Maraqua, who took a win in both Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise. Which left the two to draw in both Yooyuball and Shootout Showdown. Team captain of Haunted Woods, Krell Vitor, had a few comments about the match-up. “It’s frustrating.” states Krell Vitor of Haunted Woods “We were really hoping to come out here today and show Maraqua what we are made of. Today it wasn’t enough. We have amazing fans, and we appreciate their loyalty in our worst of days. Things will get better. ” Not too many surprises in the match-up between Tyrannia and Altador. The Fossils manage to pick up a win in every game, performing a flawless sweep. Unfortunately for Altador they have now hit rock bottom in 18th on the standings. However, if Altador can manage to pick up a win/draw here and there they could be able to pass by Moltara with ease. Here are some results for the Mystery Island, Meridell match-up. It appears that Meridell has been crowned victorious in this one. Meridell claimed wins in every game aside from Make Some Noise, which resulted in a draw. Mystery Island has been rather hit or miss thus far in this year’s competition and the fans aren’t quite sure what to make of it. <img src="https://images.neopets.com/altador/altadorcup/2011/popups/kikolake/logo.png" alt="Kiko Lake Logo" style="float:right;margin:5px;" />"It seems as if every other day we lose, and every other day we win." says one fan. "It’s rather unstable, but hey, at least we’ve got a few wins under our belt. Who knows what the competition has left in store for us." Last but certainly not least on the Day 7 match-ups is Kiko Lake and Faerieland. Many Altador Cup enthusiasts were rather surprised by the result on this one. Kiko Lake actually pulled off a win here, by the skin of their teeth, mind you. But a win is still a win! The pair drew in every game aside from Shootout Showdown which went to the Kiko’s. Congratulations to Kiko Lake on a deserved win. Tomorrow’s lineup is sure to bring some very interesting results! Make sure to watch the Kreludor versus Krawk Island match. Not only are these two of the strongest teams in the competition, but they are both neck and neck in the standings as well. With Kreludor in 4th and Krawk Island close behind in 5th. Don’t forget about the match-up between Roo Island and Terror Mountain either. Although Roo Island has had somewhat of a tricky start they are still a team to be taken seriously. All Terror Mountain has to do is underestimate, giving Roo Island a clear shot at an upset. As always I’m sure that the Day 8 results will be full of surprises. This is Smokey, LIVE in Altador. Until next time… You stay classy, Neopia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Person335 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 All right then. One win against Roo Island is enough to prove we're not complete messes. That seems like a good sign to me. And as for today's match... oh. Darigan Citadel. Fantastic. Well, it's time to end your two-day winning streak! Hopefully this match will spark up quite a bit of news.

My favorite team! :sad02: Can I play for my team DC or withdraw for my favorite Moltara? :sad02: That's it! I am playing fewer games than b4 for this day! Go DC without my support!

-Ryan Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 If we sweep three days in a row will we finally make the headlines? :sad02: And we're the only team that still has all wins in a game! No mention of that, yet? :( Anyway... TNT is killing us. We'regetting all the lower-ranked team first and ll the powerhouses are left. I think we still have KL though.

-Ryan Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 We already are. ;) If we can hold out our record for the first half it'll be pretty much sealed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blurrz Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 That was a pretty epic battle and a valiant attempt by my team. Couldn't be more happier with the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voteforpedro333 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Well it's safe to say at this point that Lost Desert is unsweepable. I mean look at all that dust and sand, you'd need a least a couple thousand brooms to... Okay off topic. When I saw that Maraqua was our next opponent I cried a little. My poor little Lamelle is back on the field with us! Such a sight for sore eyes. We'll beat you...or at least we'll try without getting a bit emotional.
