Reminder: We're collecting feedback on this year's Altador Cup in the comments of this newspost. Why not stop by and tell us what you thought of it all?

The Altador Cup is once more drawing to a close, with the prize shop due later today. What better time to reflect on the ups and downs of this year?

Our Altador Cup Coverage team this year has consisted of Herdy, Link, and Ummy. They've put together their thoughts about the Cup, and it's future.



But it's not just us! We'd like to hear your feedback on the Cup as well - feel free to post your own observations and reviews of the Cup in the comments to this newspost (though please, try and keep things constructive and polite).

Also, if you're planning on posting anything near the essay Ummy did, remember that our comments have word limits

And that's a wrap for Altador Cup VIII! It was a year of plenty of ups and downs, triumphs and tears, but finally the final results are upon us!

Alabriss Bracket:
Krawk Island ended on a good note after sweeping Mystery Island, but it is Roo Island who has won the bracket, despite losing to Kreludor today in Make Some Noise. Towards the end of the fourth bracket it looked as if Krawk Island could stand in Roo Island's way, but that was not so. It's worth noting about Kreludor that even with the threat of the winner's curse looming over them, that didn't stop them from performing pretty well overall. Virtupets gave their all into Yooyuball and defeated Maraqua, but not without sacrificing the side games to their opponents. While they have been stellar at Yooyuball, that proved to not help Virtupets in the standings enough to save them.

Minitheus Bracket:

Meridell was one of those teams that were up and down throughout the cup. They had reached as high as third place, and for the first half of the cup, they were a sure threat. In the end, unfortunately, along with their rival Darigan Citadell, they were just outperformed by the dominating top teams. The knights finish off the year with ultimately defeating Skenkuu, but losing Slushie Slinger. The ninjas have shown some skill at nabbing side games from other teams, despite lacking the power to sweep and surprise. The Haunted Woods have had a decent run, made slightly sweeter with a Yooyuball win over Darigan Citadell today. Of course, Tyrannia swept Moltara for sweep number 25 out of 26 days, and they will officially take the Cup. It is certain that Tyrannia's historic record will be nearly impossible to top. Their mark left on the Altador Cup will be remembered for years to come.

Vaeolus Bracket:

Two sweeps here today. The Lost Desert swept Faerieland, while Altador was not willing to lose a game against Brightvale again and swept them. At the start of the cup, who would have expected that Altador would rise so high? Applause goes to them for defending their impressive track record through to the very end. The ultimate showdown between side game powerhouses Kiko Lake and Terror Mountain ended with Kiko Lake winning Slushie Slinger and Make Some Noise and Terror Mountain winning Yooyuball and Shootout Showdown. Terror Mountain emerged from the middle of the cup as a Yooyuball powerhouse, and it'd be interesting to see next year if they'll become the next Altador or Roo Island.

Meepit Bracket:
Meepits think trophies are tasty.
