0   After the dust settled on the fourth day of play, Maraqua emerged with a second straight victory. After beating Meridell with a WLWW, Elon managed a DWWW against his hated rival, Krawk Island. Quite the nice turn around for a team who opened up with loses to Terror Mountain and Kreludor. Known for their slow starts, Maraqua is apparently wasting no time this year making sure it is known they can play yooyuball with the best. Virtupets took on Lilo and the Roo Island crew, who was looking a little unpredictable. To that point, RI had beaten Lost Desert and Mystery Island and lost (greatly) to Haunted Woods. Distractions didn’t phase Sloth’s team. MVP contender XL Striker 3.8 brought home a WWWD. VPETS is looking powerful; they have wins

0   Terror Mountain stepped up to the plate and delivered another home run. This time though they beat a team even more respected: Maraqua with a DWWL. What has gotten into Terror Mountain? TM has traditionally been a third tier team and Maraqua was without a doubt a preseason favorite to make the finals. (Not to toot my own horn, but I predicted a Terror Mountain victory.) After faltering against Tyrannia, expectations were not that high for Meridell going into their game against their arch-rival, Darigan Citadel. Don’t tell that to the knights though, Meridell upset the purple and black with a surprising WWLD. While this certainly raises questions about how far Meridell can go, you can’t ignore that you have to think now how good Tyrannia is? Tyrannia beat

0   The first day of the sixth cup wasn’t without the expected fireworks. In match-up of former champions, Lilo got the best of Lost Desert’s younger squad and pulled out a win for Roo Island in yooyuball and SOSD. Lost Desert managed wins in Make Some Noise and Slushie Slinger. We just have to wait

0   Brightvale vs. Mystery Island AC V Results: WLWL (MI victory) and WWLL (BV victory) This game will tell a lot put these two four tier teams perhaps. Both are without a doubt looking to make the jump back up to the third tier (or even higher) and have to be able to beat teams

0   1. Darigan Citadel: I can find no fault in this team. They’re huge, they’re powerful, they know how to play, and they’re in it to win it.  Yooyuball is their forte, beating everyone at least once last year with the exception of slippery old Maraqua. Not only can they play yooyuball though, they can beat you in the side games at the same time having a more than adequate grip in Make Some Noise and Slushie Slinger. Look for us to have our first repeat this year…. 2. Krawk Island: Man, if this happens. I don’t think I’ll be able to take my eyes off of it. Could anything be more perfect than Darigan/Krawk Island championship game?  Regardless, Krawk Island is back. Just one year after Dasher brought home

0   After Krawk Island won Altador Cup IV, the classic championship hangover was expected to linger over into Altador Cup V and hold back the powerhouse from greatness. Going simply by how Krawk Island placed, it did. Dasher’s team placed seventh just as Darigan and Haunted Woods did after their championship years. Don’t let Krawk Island fool you though. Seeded sixth going into the finals, Krawk Island beat Darigan, Shenkuu, Roo Island, Lost Desert, and Virtupets during Altador Cup V. KI also had a better yooyuball record than second place Kreludor and was one of the only team to win over 20 games in three of the four AC games. They still had power I believe, it’s just Altador Cup V had a lot of good teams. Chances: Krawk Island

0   Well, we have the last of the double round robin results. Krawk Island has to feel played – they took yooyuball and slushie slinger from a top four team (Roo Island) and don’t make the finals. Nonetheless, they deserve congratulations. They have let their game slip as little as possible. Nothing else really crazy

0   Kreludor beat Krawk Island for the third straight time and all but killed their hopes for placing in the top four for the fifth straight year. Meridell knew they had to beat Darigan and they did just that. Despite the fact that the gap between them and Roo Island grew a little, they have

0   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.

0   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
