[[Image:AC IX maraqua.gif|frame|right|Team Maraqua's line up in 2014 - from top, Tonie Plessix, Elon "The Black Hole" Hughlis, Oten Runeu, Lamelle Turow, and Barit Jowes.]] | |||

'''Maraqua's [[Altador Cup|Yooyuball]] team''' could be described as "a house divided," due to the antics of their star forward. [[Elon Hughlis]] is more concerned with his personal accomplishments than actual wins and losses, making him a headache to the team. He looks down on his teammates who aren't as talented as him, and they endure him due to his tremendous ability. | '''Maraqua's [[Altador Cup|Yooyuball]] team''' could be described as "a house divided," due to the antics of their star forward.

In 2011's [[Altador Cup VI]] they added [[Lost Desert]]'s defender Lamelle Turow because Dorina Hals retired. With a teammate from the winning team of Altador Cup V, people thought that Maraqua would have a very good shot at winning. Though they weren't quite able to play up to par with the other top tier teams, they managed to claim 4th after losing to [[Virtupets]] and [[Kreludor]], the best they've ever done. | In 2011's [[Altador Cup VI]] they added [[Lost Desert]]'s defender Lamelle Turow because Dorina Hals retired.

Under new gameplay rules introduced in [[Altador Cup VII]], Maraqua had no signs of suffering in the first round, where they had generally respectable showings despite facing tremendous threats in the bracket, such as [[Krawk Island]], [[Darigan Citadel]], and (we had thought at the time) [[Virtupets Space Station]]. However, after [[Kiko Lake]]'s sweeping of Maraqua, things seemed to fall downhill. Still, Maraqua's greatness varied; for example, they were defeated by [[Tyrannia]] one time, then swept them the next time they met. With all things considered, Maraqua fell from last year's greatness to 8th. | |||
The demise of Team Maraqua lingered on as they became 9th in a tie in [[Altador Cup VIII]]. | |||
In the [[Altador Cup IX]] Maraqua made a great start in the first three brackets. This made the hope grow that they would finally return from the shadow that has been haunting them for years. Regrettably, Maraqua became last in the final two brackets. Dropping down in the rankings to the 12th place. Their worst placing ever, surpassing the scores of 2006 and 2008. | |||
Determined to shoot back up, Team Maraqua redoubled their efforts for [[Altador Cup X]], meeting with mixed results. Victories and defeats were stark in contrast and often came one after another, especially in the first round, when all of their matches were either sweeps or getting swept. Ultimately, these mixed results led to a very average finish, putting Maraqua in 10th, a placement that may not have been much of an improvement, but it was a start. | |||
Team Maraqua's campaign for [[Altador Cup XI]] had begun with extreme promise, performing extremely well in the first round of play, becoming a contender alongside [[Kreludor]] and [[Brightvale]]. However, an outbreak of "multiple account disorder" forced the team to be quarantined, affecting their performance. While Kreludor, who had also been quarantined, had experienced a drastic drop in technique that the team managed to bounce back from, at least slightly, Maraqua had a much harder time of recovering at all. Facing extreme opposition in all rounds subsequent to their quarantine, Maraqua stumbled down the rankings, ending up in 14th, their worst performance thus far. | |||
