0   I thought I would get away from my typical team analysis today, with an early pre-season prediction for ACVIII, now I like to do these after a few weeks have passed in the cup so I can have a feel for how teams have done, without all the speculation and here say that pre-season

0   I want to do things I bit different in todays analysis, before I had written about teams that had either started as cellar-dwellers and risen, or those who started at the top but have since fallen. Sadly Altador really doesn’t fit into that category, and a review on how they’ve placed would simply undermine

0       Ah Darigan Citadel, truly one of the strongest forces in the entire history of the cup, and honestly it wasn’t until I actually set out to write this article that I realized my extreme lack of knowledge on the history of this team. Going into the first Altador Cup their were expectations from

0   If the image to my left wasn’t enough of an indication, were going to be covering Shenkuu for today.   Shenkuu will certainly be an interesting team to cover, they didn’t even enter the Altador Cup until ACII, but boy did they make an impact, getting 3rd place and defeating Krawk Island (a heavy

0    Today we’ll be covering Brightvale. Their strength in ACI surprised many when they were able to knock Kiko Lake out of contention (no animosity there) but they dropped in the second round to finish out 8th. And from there their performance only started to decline further to 12th in ACII, and then 16th

0   Well here is the start in a new daily segment I plan to do for the next 18 days or so (may miss one if I get busy) Today we’ll be reviewing Terror Mountain. Where they’ve been, where they are, and where I think they’ll go. Starting from the beginning, Terror Mountain was always

+2    This is my awful one piece video of me rambling, some of which doesn’t make sense and some of which I said completely wrong. Enjoy. xD   Video notes:  1. I’m so sorry I fidget so much. x.X 2. 2:15 – …derp. Also, I watched it back, and no, it didn’t make sense. :P 3. 7:50 – Blonde moment… Er, would’ve cut that if I could’ve. 4. 14:10 – I didn’t really finish my thought. :P KD’s been underrated, which helped them stay up a bit, but many are looking at them optimistically now, which may end up hurting them. 5. 10:50ish I got kind of… snarky… D: Sorry, I didn’t mean to T_T /cranky   For those looking for specific parts: 0:30 – 2nd place tiebreaker commentary begins

+1   After 25 days of competition, Kreludor can officially be declared as the Altador Cup VII Champions! We’ve already known this for a few days now, but it’s official. As for that tiebreaker match between Mystery Island and Meridell, the winner turned out to be who I predicted, with Mystery Island taking the silver medal.

0   Commentary MD vs FL √ MD takes home the sweep, finishing up their final bracket domination in the best way they knew how. Nothing surprising here. HW vs TM √ I got this one right purely on dumb luck, but HW takes the overall win as expected, since YYB drew. What I didn’t expect was SOSD going to HW as well, but I suppose the focus just must have been on YYB, throwing the sides to the wind. VP vs MT √ VP unexpectedly takes SlS, but other than that, a normal match for these two to end the year with. LD vs BV √ LD indeed goes for SOSD, and manages to take it! In return, MSN upsets in BV’s favor, though. Thinks definitely could’ve turned out worse for both teams, though.

0    Welcome to the last    unscheduled update of the Altador Cup VII season! I guess my heartfelt sentences would do better here today, so here it is:  Thank you for letting me write for you, and thank you for reading my predictions and commentary every day. I really enjoyed it. Now, we do have results from yesterday, and we do have an official champion, but we are still looking for that silver medal winner, which will result in a tiebreaker match against Meridell and Mystery Island tomorrow. Meridell unsurprisingly swept Faerieland to end their season, while still radiating with the most predictions as winner of silver with all these sweeps under their tunics. Terror Mountain and Haunted Woods brought out the best in each other that we haven’t seen
