Hello and welcome, everyone! The last day of the Altador Cup has wrapped up, and we have the results! This is Matt, and I'm here with my wonderful co-anchor Katie! Austin couldn't make it today, but we'll carry on! I have the results from the Alabriss Bracket, and Katie and I will both be reporting the results from the Minitheus Bracket. So let's get started!

 

Roo Island and Kreludor went head to head, and the results were surprising to say the least! After being swept by Maraqua, very few people expected Kreludor to do so well against the Rooligans, but they were able to surprise many! Roo Island was able to take Yooyuball from the Moons as expected, and were also able to claim Slushie Slinger and Shootout Showdown. However, Kreludor was able to take Make Some Noise, their fans screaming their heads off, taking the side game with a close score of eight to seven. When the dust settled, Kreludor had made their mark against the Rooligans, who are currently the third-place team in the overall standings. Of course, the overall standings aren't final. To find out the results you'll have to stay tuned for our final report!

 

Our second matchup in this bracket was Mystery Island versus Krawk Island, and the results were as most analysts expected. Krawk Island was able to dominate Yooyuball, winning with a score of five to three! The Pirates were also able to side-sweep the Natives, resulting in a clean sweep to end the last day of the Cup. With their second-place finish last year, Mystery Island shocked many people this year as they dropped back into the lower tiers, but hopes are still high for a better run next year.

 

Sela PretoreWeldar Xupenfarb For our last matchup in the Alabriss Bracket we had Virtupets go against Maraqua. Virtupets stuck to their regular tactics today as they focused all their energy on Yooyuball. The Mermaids put up some resistance but almost all their scoring attempts were quickly dispatched by Virtupets' pair of defenders, outperforming even Maraqua's hardened defensive line! The Robots were able to take Yooyuball with a close score of six to five, but having spent all their energy on Yooyuball, they were side-swept by the Mermaids.

 

This concludes the results of the Alabriss bracket! Now let's move on to the Minitheus Bracket, where Katie and I will be co-reporting the results! Let's have Katie start off!

 

And they say that chivalry is dead! Hello, folks, this is Katie helping out with the Minitheus Bracket results today! First up, the Haunted Woods scared the wits out of their rival, Darigan Citadel, in Yooyuball...

 

...but the Minions weren't scared for long, as they were able to win the side games, nailing the Zombies into their coffins! Wait a minute -- we're getting word that Johan has returned, and is out in the Colosseum now, so let's turn to him for the rest of the Minitheus Bracket results!

 

Yoris Obbles Hey, Neopia! It's Johan, with extremely exciting results from the Minitheus Bracket! Shenkuu wasn't able to keep up with the attack from Meridell last night, as they were only able to take Slushie Slinger from the Knights. Meridell was able to end the tournament on a hot note, by finally taking out the Ninjas. The Knights should hold a strong placing in the top eight of the tournament after a good win last night. We'll see how both teams did overall later this week.

 

An administrative miracle Tyrannia once again upended their opponent with a complete sweep, as they topped Moltara. The Fossils extended their almost unbroken streak of sweeps, tearing through the competition with unparalleled might. Tyrannia looks strong enough to win not only the bracket, but the Cup. The Dinos are definitely looking to take the top spot in the tournament, and at this point only an administrative miracle could bring them down.

 

It's been an exciting Cup so far, but only a few te-

 

Jail Break! Guards: There he is! Get him!

 

What in the world is going on!?

 

Guards: You're under arrest for escape, resisting arrest, and vandalism.

 

You have the wrong g-

 

[The guards tackle the reporter.]

 

Guards: Aha! We've finally caught you after all this trouble! Prepare yourself for A LOT of jail time!

 

No! You've got the wrong-

 

[A loud but indistinct conversation begins between a guard and the camerawoman, drowning out the reporter’s voice. The camera briefly swivels to show the reporter in the process of being subdued before the screen goes blank.]

 

...Oh, we're back in the newsroom!

 

[Flustered by the unexpected cut, the newsroom anchor regains her composure.]

 

I'm your co-anchor, Katie, with the results for the Vaeolus Bracket. Well, that didn't last too long, did it? We may have to post Johan's bail over the weekend... anyway, onwards with the rest of the results!

 

Last, but certainly not least, the Vaeolus Bracket saw two solid finishes for Altador and the Lost Desert, who swept Brightvale and Faerieland, respectively. The Terror Mountain–Kiko Lake matchup was more heated, although the Chillers put the Kikos on ice in Yooyuball and Shootout Showdown. Kiko Lake finished the season with an exceptional Slushie Slinger record, as did Terror Mountain with Yooyuball. The Cup has been anything but dull, that's for sure!

 

Remis Team Altador continues to assert their dominance over the competition, outshining Brightvale in all four games yesterday. By securing the victories by fairly large margins, the Suns have guaranteed themselves a podium trophy. When solicited for comment, Altador's captain "Trapper" Remis told us that he was waiting on the final decision of the Altador Cup Committee before any celebrations took place for the host land of the tournament. He also added that their recognition as a serious team was long overdue, and their cohesion as a team helped their rise in the standings. The Suns have certainly earned their trophy!

 

The Lost Desert had an excellent outing against Faerieland, their best since the team swept Mystery Island during the third round. The Mummies finished their underwhelming season with a green row, which is nothing to scoff at. Leera Heggle, the Lost Desert's captain, and Faerieland's captain, Kakoni Worrill, shook hoof and flipper on the field for a brilliant display of sportsmanship. Worrill commented that he is taking the losses in stride. He also notes that next year could be their year for a championship run, as Altador's rise from the bottom of the standings has been rather inspiring for the Faeries. Indeed, it seems that historically low-ranking teams are getting their shots for gold, which is quite refreshing.

 

Prytariel Terror Mountain took two games from Kiko Lake yesterday: Yooyuball and Shootout Showdown. The Kikos retaliated with wins in Slushie Slinger, their best game, and Make Some Noise. It's likely that the Chillers will finish with a tie for seventh place with Kreludor, which isn't too shabby considering their poor start to the season. Along with the notoriety they’ve gained for climbing the standings during the middle of the tournament, team captain Prytariel is in contention for the Altador Cup's Most Valuable Player, as she retains the highest goals per game average -- with an approximate 6.8434 GPG. Congratulations, Prytariel: your hard work has paid off!

 

Congratulations to all teams -- you made it to the end! Today's report marks the end of daily results, so, everyone, please enjoy your weekend! Matt, perhaps Austin, maybe Johan, and I will see you all right here when the Altador Cup Committee releases the final standings on Monday, so stay tuned for the most exciting part of the Cup -- the coronation of this year's champions! Au revoir, folks!

 

We await the final results...

That's what I meant, thanks! It was kinda frustrating when I go to look at 2:05 am and only see the blank podium picture. :p

 

I dunno...I'm ready for the tournament to be over. It was a good year. But I wish Neopets would let us break those ties. Kinda silly to end with four ties,
