Offseason News: Best Site Event

Feb 4th, 2011 | By

Once again, the efforts of Altador Cup lovers were thwarted in the third Annual Neopies as the AC finished an unfortunate 3rd place with 26% of the vote for best site event. Although unfortunate, this is a solid result for our beloved event. The Daily Dare finished in 2nd with 27% but was aided by

What does this mean for the Altador Cup though? Assuming they continue this trend of shocking us completely, I

Offseason News: The Best Possible Prize Shop

Aug 18th, 2010 | By

It’s been five years of the Altador Cup… prize shop and the only one done correctly was AC 1. If anyone recalls, with limited work, a player could end up with a stamp, maybe a halloween paint brush or one of those supe epic weapons. Normally, I would be against weapons in an AC prize

The All-Star teams of ACV

Jul 11th, 2010 | By

Given that TNT has abondoned the idea of All-Star teams, I’ve decided to give my humble opinion on the matter. 1st All Star team: Left Forward: Layton Vickles (DC) An obvious choice. He was top goal scorer! Center Forward: Wizard Windelle (MD) MD were in a hair’s inch of getting to the finals despite finishing

July 5th: You’re So Ugly When You Cry

Jul 5th, 2010 | By

Hey, I’m sorry to push down some wonderful posts on this blog, but no need to worry-this is my last for ACV ;). I’m on vacation, so preparing daily posts have been difficult when you’re in a place as great as California. This is just me saying my thanks. First of all, I would like

Final matches begin

Jul 3rd, 2010 | By

Tier I: Lost Desert’s impressive opening day performance was too much for Darigan Citadel to overcome while Kreludor’s slim lead over Roo Island held. Predictions: LD over KD, DC over RI Tier II: Maraqua powered through Meridell while Virtupets won in yooyuball against Krawk Island, slaying the deficit they had in day one. Predictions: VP over

Surprising Results on Day 1

Jul 3rd, 2010 | By

Perhaps the only non-surprise is TNT’s epic failure of getting the tournament started on time. Here is an overview of Day 1 results: 1) Lost Desert Returns Apparently, like previous champions, many LD’ers were just resting until now. They managed a surprising WWLL against DC. 2) Is Kreludor a new favourite? They were strong at

July 1st: An Analysis of Post-Modern Sporting Teams and Their Probabilities of Proving Worth

Jul 1st, 2010 | By

Why hello there, ACBlog readers. It is now the 1st of July and we are undergoing The Finals. For over a month, we’ve been scoring, slinging, shouting and shooting so our teams can qualify for a certain tier or just so we can get an awesome prize (have you checked Jellyneo?) I, like many of

Last Chance for Lost Desert

Jun 30th, 2010 | By

No team has made the final four in 4 consecutive Altador Cups and I don’t think any team ever will. Ultimately, this means that this is very likely Lost Desert’s last chance to win the Altador Cup for a relatively long time (~2 or 3 AC’s.) The team that was often commended for its sportsmanship,

The Greatest Strategy

Jun 29th, 2010 | By

Afer the recent matches, this year’s final four have been confirmed: Kreludor, Lost Desert, Darigan Citadel and Roo Island. You’ve got to wonder how each team got here. Every team took a different path. Lost Desert You would think winning the first 10 yooyuball matches would be the worst strategy anyone can think of because
