June 17th: Can You Do the Fandango?

Jun 17th, 2010 | By

Highlights Staff: The Staff Tourney has started and I’m not doing so well. One correct (Snarkie) and one incorrect (Lawyerbot.) Clean Sweeps: We had expected sweeps with Kreludor vs. Faerieland and Darigan vs. Moltara, but we did see an interesting sweep by Altador over Kiko Lake, which could put Altador at the top of their

Day 22: Hi, I’m Kreludor. Did you miss me?

Jun 16th, 2010 | By

Rumor has it Kreludor completely destroyed first place Lost Desert yesterday, winning yooyuball, make some noise, and shootout showdown. This can’t all be classified as Lost Desert just going downhill – Kreludor has woken up. The purple and orange have had without a doubt the best two days we’ve seen this cup for sure. They

Moltara Explained & The Desert is Deserted

Jun 16th, 2010 | By

In case you missed it, TNT has finally given a reasonable explanation as to why Moltara has been performing so pathetically in the Altador Cup: http://www.neopets.com/altador/colosseum/news.phtml?sc9ejf2=58659 After today`s impressive result (for Moltara) against Kiko Lake, perhaps the problem has been rectified. (It is widely believed that last year`s prize shop prizes have been grinded and

Day 20: Former Champs Strike Back!

Jun 14th, 2010 | By

No real crazy upsets emerged today. Roo Island beat Maraqua in yooyuball in a game between two teams trying to prove themselves worthy of the finals. Shenkuu played Virtupets for the second time in the past three games. Virtupets upset Shenkuu before in yooyuball, but Shenkuu more than bounced back this time around – they won

First Half Analysis

Well, since the results finally came out today, let’s look at the standings at the end of the first half of the DRR.



Shenkuu Rising

Jun 12th, 2010 | By

I’ve previously reviewed the performances of Brightvale, Lost Desert, Kreludor, Darigan Citadel, Meridell and Virtupets. Since then, Brightvale has lost a lot of momentum and several teams are eyeing those two top tier playoff positions which appear to be available. The only question remains, who can pull a Shenkuu? 1. Maraqua Playoff Record: AC 1:

Day Sixteen: So Happy I Could Die

Jun 11th, 2010 | By

I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO POST ON SATURDAY OR SUNDAY. SORRY FOR SUCH A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE. First of all, congratulations are in order for so many teams who played more than expected. On top of that, today we kick off the FIFA World Cup! Review Maraqwin!: Maraqua defeated Darigan Citadel, and I was still

Day 17: Kreludor Bounces Back, Maraqua Flexes Muscle

Jun 11th, 2010 | By

Yesterday was full of great matches and we certainly got some interesting results. Maraqua beat Darigan by winning yooyuball and SOSD in what could very well be a matchup in the finals. Meridell upset Lost Desert by winning yooyuball, but Lost Desert still won slushie slinger and make some noise and managed to tie Meridell

A Little Theory

Jun 10th, 2010 | By

Early in the season, three of the smaller teams in the Altador Cup were dominating the game and living the life in the top four. Virtupets, Brightvale, and Kreludor were suspected to be in the finals, but as of lately the three have been in a slump. Now, if only one falling would be an
