===[[Kiko Lake]]===
===[[Kiko Lake]]===
=====Coming Soon...=====
Kiko Lake came up with 14th place in a second consecutive year (excluding the year before where Kiko Lake didn't participate) which they got after they beat Faerieland in the first round than lost to Terror Mountain in the second round of the finals. Though they came up with the third lowest standing, they had a more approachable statistics to rely on as they got the 12th best with only their 4th tear-mates and Virtupets having worst records. Kiko Lake had 7 wins, 2 draws, and 21 losses in Yooyuball with slightly better side game skills which overall combined were 27 wins, 9 draws, and 54 losses.

===[[Krawk Island]]===
===[[Krawk Island]]===
=====Coming Soon...=====
Krawk Island had beaten Lost Desert in the first round in the finals while Shenkuu likewise beaten the number one seed, Kreludor, so the final match was to be Krawk Island vs. Shenkuu. Krawk Island edge out Shenkuu in the second round which gave them 1st place in the standings, bragging rights of the year plus the coveted Altador Cup trophy. Even though they came with the AC, they didn't get the highest statistics overall but the 4th highest with Lost Desert, Darigan Citadel, and Shenkuu having better records. Krawk Island had 20 wins, 7 draws, and 3 losses in Yooyuball but surprisingly had better side game records which was overall was 66 wins, 8 draws, and 16 losses. After Krawk Island's finals experience for the last three years which were AC I: 3rd, AC II: 4th and AC III: 2nd, fans did not expect much from Krawk Island but expect the unexpected, as is rightfully suited for Krawk Island which after three years of not getting the top overall, finally got it, in Altador cup IV.


===[[Kreludor]]===
===[[Kreludor]]===
=====Coming Soon...=====
Kreludor was the top seeded team coming to the finals so expectations for them to win the AC IV was high but the expectations slowly diminished as they lost to Shenkuu in the first round followed up with the disappointing lost to Lost Desert in the second round of the finals to give them 4th place. With 4th place for the year, overall statically, they had the records to back up their ranking as they had the fifth best record out of the 16 teams. Tied with the winner Krawk Island with 20 wins, they were just 1 draw away (6) and a loss one to much (4), to tying with Krawk Island in Yoouyuball records but they did have better records overall in side games than Krawk Island with 68 wins, 14 draws, and 8 losses.

*When TNT released the picture of which Dasher is holding the trophy of which Krawk Island won, if you look closely on the team colors in the middle of the trophy, it seem to reveal that [[Brightvale]] had actually played while Kiko Lake wasn't, while another thing is that Kreludor's position seem to have shifted as well. Which mean that Dasher could be carrying the Altador cup trophy that Roo Island had won last year.
