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. | 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]].

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. | |||
