::[[Team Darigan Citadel|Darigan Citadel]]: '''Comic Relief Key to Darigan's Success?'''-Considering their team's fearsome nature, it may be hard to believe Darigan's players are avid practical jokers. "Frein's the worst one," forward Tandrak Shaye revealed. "He got his nickname, 'The Terror,' long before playing Yooyuball. You learn quick with that one -- if you need something from the kitchen, you'd best take your food with you, or else it will be tampered with. Make no mistake, however -- we're all business out on the field." | ::[[Team Darigan Citadel|Darigan Citadel]]: '''Comic Relief Key to Darigan's Success?'''-Considering their team's fearsome nature, it may be hard to believe Darigan's players are avid practical jokers.

::[[Team Haunted Woods|Haunted Woods]]" '''Mind Over (Brain) Matter'''-"If you'd asked me a year ago if a zombie could play Yooyuball, I would've said you were crazy," said Team Captain Krell Vitor. "Playing with Brains last year really opened my eyes. Sure, he's not fast and he hasn't got a head for strategy, but you'll never find a player with more tenacity and dedication." So what is the secret of Brains Mortigan's success? His teammates tell him the Yooyu is a tasty brain before every play. | |||
::[[Team Kiko Lake|Kiko Lake]]: '''No Kicking Back in Kiko Lake'''-Right Forward Meela Kitah shared with us a Kiko Lake success story: "None of us are millionaires, and our community has never been excited about Yooyuball, so it was a real struggle getting to the Cup. Our first year, Poke got a job with Health Frog Groceries delivering door to door, Holbie helped out in his uncle's antique shop, and I sold newspapers. Anything so we could go to the Cup. Playing in the Colosseum is a dream come true." | ::[[Team Kiko Lake|Kiko Lake]]: '''No Kicking Back in Kiko Lake'''-Right Forward Meela Kitah shared with us a Kiko Lake success story: "None of us are millionaires, and our community has never been excited about Yooyuball, so it was a real struggle getting to the Cup.

::[[Team Krawk Island|Krawk Island]]: '''Catching Up with "Dasher" Soley'''-Krawk Island's "Dasher" Soley may have hung up his sling, but that doesn't mean this Yooyuball legend hasn't been busy. When asked what he's been up to lately, "Ol' Dash" replied, "Oh, you know... anything to keep me competitive juices flowin'. I enjoy a good game of Armada from time to time, plus I've been teachin' me Blurtle, Go-Go, to play Deckball. Other than that, though... *sigh*... just a lot of waiti-I mean, whittling. I love to whittle." | |||
::[[Team Kreludor|Kreludor]]: '''Exclusive News from Kreludor'''-Team captain Derlyn Fonnet tells us she's become penpals with Haunted Woods player "Brains" Mortigan. "He's pretty witty," she admits, "and he's got great tips for Yooyuball. We're still very competitive, of course." Meanwhile, teammates Zenor and Qyldae spent a little too much time relaxing in the sun last month in Qasala and came back with terrible sunburns, but we hear they're recovering thanks to a few dozen Grape Slurpships. | ::[[Team Kreludor|Kreludor]]: '''Exclusive News from Kreludor'''-Team captain Derlyn Fonnet tells us she's become penpals with Haunted Woods player "Brains" Mortigan.

::[[Team Roo Island|Roo Island]]: '''A Sticky Situation'''-What can a Yooyuball team do when their shipment of practice Yooyus never arrives? Well, if they're Team Roo Island, they turn to gummies! "I was doubtful at first," said team captain Lilo Blumario, "but King Roo spared no expense and even had the Chocolate Factory rig up an exploding gummy Yooyu to mimic the clockwork Yooyus." The only downside? "We just have to keep Gordo Gunnels from eating the gummy Yooyus before practice is over." | ::[[Team Roo Island|Roo Island]]: '''A Sticky Situation'''-What can a Yooyuball team do when their shipment of practice Yooyus never arrives?
