AC XVI Recap: Days 13-15

The finals begin shortly, so let's take another look back at some of the round robin matches.

Day 13 saw several sweep victories. As usual, Team Lost Desert and Team Altador found themselves breezing by their opponents to score with ease throughout their matches against mid-ranked Teams Maraqua and Krawk Island. Team Darigan Citadel and Team Kreludor faced off against lower-ranked teams and, unsurprisingly, won soundly. Team Virtupets' cheerleaders have struggled throughout the season, and many of them seemed to have lost their voices ahead of the match against Darigan Citadel. The team doctor assures me they've been given plenty of Orange Cream Tea to recover.


The yearly medieval rivalry game was no trouble for Team Brightvale this year. The Meridell knights put up a good fight, but in the end Reb Weemelott simply outran them. With a perfectly calculated arc, the final Faerie Yooyu of the game swept beautifully past goalie Yoris Obbles to seal the Brightvale victory.

Other Day 13 victories included Team Kiko Lake, who overcame their inconsistencies in Make Some Noise to sweep the side games against Team Moltara; and Team Shenkuu, who recovered a bit of their lost momentum during a series of close games against Team Terror Mountain. Two games went to overtime as four low-ranked teams battled it out in a bid to escape the lowest bracket. Team Tyrannia won quickly when Team Mystery Island became distracted by the Tyrannian cheerleaders during their first overtime throw. The Roo Island-Faerieland game lasted a bit longer, but in the end left defender Fenny Vail came to the rescue with a skilled interception that was run back to the goal, leading Team Roo Island to victory.


By Day 14, a number of the teams were becoming exhausted. There are rumours that tournament organizers are considering whether the schedule of bye days gave teams enough recovery time this year, but it's unknown at this time if the rumours are true. Shutout victories went to Team Lost Desert, Team Altador, Team Darigan Citadel, and Team Kreludor again. Teams Krawk Island and Terror Mountain came back from their Day 13 defeats with a vengeance, sweeping their opponents across all games as well.


It was overtime again for two matches on Day 14. Fans stayed up into the early hours as Team Tyrannia and Team Shenkuu traded goals back and forth through an extended overtime. Team Brightvale and Team Moltara fans had more luck getting to sleep on time, as Team Brightvale grabbed an early overtime win.

Finally, Team Mystery Island at last had a rare stroke of luck. After days and days of remaining the only team to have no victories in the round robin, the islanders found themselves up against Team Faerieland and saw their chance. In a fiercely fought match, an unfortunate fumble by faerie defender Ciona Broan gave the island team just the moment they needed to take the lead. Captain Volgoth pushed the island team to keep the pressure on, and the faeries just couldn't catch up.


Day 15 saw a number of sweeps as well. Team Lost Desert once again shouted the heads off of everyone in the cheer stadium and won easy victories in the other games as well. Team Altador, Team Darigan Citadel, Team Kreludor, Team Krawk Island, and Team Maraqua all won shutout victories against their opponents as well. With this Darigan victory, Team Meridell walks away from both of their rivalry matches this year without a single game win.


Team Tyrannia managed another win against Team Virtupets. The hero in that match was goalie Loryche, who again and again managed to stop goals from Virtupets players who'd just come off a comfortable win on the practice field.

Finally, Day 15 again ended with two games in overtime, both extended, hard-fought matches. Team Shenkuu and Team Faerieland battled it out into early evening, while I hear Team Roo Island and Team Haunted Woods kept going into the early hours of the morning. To be honest, I fell asleep in the stands, it was so long!


That's it for the first half of week 3. Stay tuned for the last recap of the round robin tomorrow as the finals get underway. Best of luck to everyone for the final push, and best of luck especially to the championship bracket as they vie for this year's Cup!
