As a team hungry for victory, this team was a favorite to win going into [[Altador Cup VII]]. However, with the new format of gameplay, it was debatable as they have gone without a roster change for the 4th straight year. However, their strength was hardly matched, especially in the second and fourth rounds, where 5 out of the 6 matches were sweeps. Hardly any teams were able to counter the Meridellian's strengths in Yooyuball, with only [[Kiko Lake]], [[Kreludor]], [[Mystery Island]], and [[Brightvale]] avoiding a defeat in that event. However, they lacked a same power as Kreludor and fell in a tiebreaker match against Mystery Island for 2nd, which they lost, placing them in 3rd.

In [[Altador Cup VIII]] they kind of fell back from their great position. They became 6th. Still with pride and glory.
Meridell got hit by bad luck in [[Altador Cup IX]]. Besides from that their play wasn't as fierce as the previous years. But they were entirely eclipsed by top tier teams. Becoming third, fourth, third and fifth in their brackets of respectively round 1, 2, 3 and 5. The only luck they had was when they avoided the top teams in round 4 so that they could grab a few extra points to avoid ending out of the top 10. Meridell eventually became 9th.
Meridell continued to struggle to return to the podium after [[Altador Cup X]] featured a continued struggle for Meridell to make a name for itself, especially due to their unfortunate pairing. Having consistently been beaten repeatedly by the tourney's top four teams, Meridell's team had to fight hard to get anywhere, and ultimately they could only make marginal progress as they stepped up a single position, to 8th place. Things continued to look grim for Meridell's chances at the cup.
But a vast improvement in [[Altador Cup XI]], along with a little bit of luck, allowed for Team Meridell to take another swing at the trophy. Having been placed in a nightmarish first bracket, Meridell struggled in the beginning, they managed to improve little by little, and by the last bracket, Meridell had been paired up against teams that they could consistently beat, such as [[Lost Desert]] and [[Shenkuu]]. Thanks to their stellar performance in the final round, Meridell shot up to 4th, tied with [[Faerieland]]. Though not quite a podium finish, hopes for the Meridellians to claim another podium spot have been revitalized.
