With a new style of play in [[Altador Cup VII]], there was no telling what would happen with the alleged "Winner's Curse." Some thought that due to the dedication that they showed last year, they wouldn't fall as hard as the other teams afflicted by the curse have. Others said that the new style would ruin the team. After only one round of gameplay, it became apparent that the team would fall hard, losing key matches and even drawing in Yooyuball against the traditionally bottom-barrel team [[Moltara]]. They still fared well against middle-tier teams, but their occasional run-in with top-tier threats never ended well. The result was a fall of [[Lost Desert]] proportions, ending the tournament in 13th. | With a new style of play in [[Altador Cup VII]], there was no telling what would happen with the alleged "Winner's Curse."

2013 would become a disastrous year for Team Virtupets. The achieved a historical low amount of wins and finished their lowest position since Altador Cup II. Team Virtupets made it 16th, in a tie with Team Faerieland in [[Altador Cup IX]]. | |||
Only a year after their greatest disaster, Team Virtupets rised up in [[Altador Cup IX]] to the level they had 3 years ago. Keetra Deile and her teammates managed to sweep topteams like Darigan Citadel, Krawk Island and Kreludor. Becoming a major favorite for the title. However, in the fourth round Virtupets entered the same bracket as the other top favorites: Haunted Woods and Moltara. They were able to beat Moltara but lost to Haunted Woods. Thus in the end they had to settle with silver for the 2nd place. | |||
It wouldn't last; Team Virtupets faced yet another disaster once [[Altador Cup X]] rolled around and brought the team down a fair number of pegs. Facing the same consistency issues as [[Roo Island]], Virtupets had suddenly lost all of the momentum they had gained by Altador Cup IX, and as a result, after losses aplenty, Virtupets sank yet again to 16th place. | |||
The inconsistencies would seem to imply that Virtupets would recover, but [[Altador Cup XI]] had other plans, instead with Virtupets struggling just as hard as the year previous just to get a single win. Though the team managed some impressive wins against Moltara and Shenkuu, overall their performance was dissatisfying, and thus the team had placed 16th yet again. | |||
