'''Altador Cup V''' is the 5th installment of the annual [[Altador Cup]] Tournament. It is a flash game-centred plot will begin on May 26th, 2010. | |||
==News== | |||
The fifth annual Altador Cup competition featured a variety of team roster changes. Most notably through the addition of the Team [[Moltara]] squad. There are also a couple of familiar faces in new places this year. In a trade that broke up Tyrannia's vaunted Forsaken Five, the club dealt [[Evrem Guilako]] to Terror Mountain for [[Elbin Kroe]]. Additionally, Brightvale has decided to give goalie [[Orie Dinelle]] another shot in front of the net. | |||
In an effort to regain their competitive edge, the Haunted Woods has parted ways with defenseman [[Autrey Fulse]] and signed relentless pursuer [["Brains" Mortigan]]. | |||
Perhaps the most surprising roster move is the one that, in the end, didn't happen. After last year's championship victory, Krawk Island's [[Dasher Soley]] decided to hang up his Yooyuball sling. However a last-minute injury to his rookie replacement, [[Feldon "Dinksy" Collibridge]], left the club with no time to find a replacement who knew all the team's plays. And so, Ol' Dash agreed to come back for one last tournament. | |||
==Plot Summary== | ==Plot Summary== | ||
''...to be | With the addition of the Moltara to the mix, the fifth Altador Cup became the first cup in history to be played with a full complement of 18 teams. The same double round-robin and four-team tier structure was used once again, with the addition of a fifth tier containing the bottom two teams. The result: one of the fiercest Altador Cup tournaments in history, which makes Team Terror Mountain's achievement of a near-perfect Shootout Showdown streak all the more remarkable. Team Kreludor and Team Lost Desert, both well-established powerhouses by now, battled it out in the finals, with the Lost Desert emerging victorious to claim the championship. | ||
The battle began on June the Second, 2010 and seemingly, most teams fought for their "reputation spot" during the round robin, hardly and teams went out of the ordinary, until some spots wer bumped up in the finals. Meridell finshed eighth after losing both matches in the second bracket. Moltara wasn't a surprise either, finishing dead last on their cup debut and winning no Yooyuball wins until Altador Cup VI. | |||
==Staff Tournament== | |||
This was the second tournament to feature a staff competition. 16 staff members participated in a knockout tournament, with the final results being: | |||
