'''Kiko Lake's [[Altador Cup|Yooyuball]] team''' is a strong contender, but entered 2006 with a lot to prove, due to the injury of [[Helmo Timm]], the flashy (yet erratic) play of goalkeeper [[Ditan Colb]], and their superstar defender [[Meela Kitah]] coming off the worst year of her career. Not making it past the first round, fans hoped for a surprise in 2007, similar to that of [[Roo Island]]'s team, though many believed they wouldn't make it past the Round-Robin Phase. With the addition of forward [[Moni Vyshan]], they hoped the team would be more competitive than the previous year's. | '''Kiko Lake's [[Altador Cup|Yooyuball]] team''' is a strong contender, but entered 2006 with a lot to prove, due to the injury of [[Helmo Timm]], the flashy (yet erratic) play of goalkeeper [[Ditan Colb]], and their superstar defender [[Meela Kitah]] coming off the worst year of her career.

Kiko Lake entered AC IV with a drastic line up change fans thought would help them a lot. Although this new line-up beat Maraqua in the first game which led to be a confidence booster, they later fell from grace and into the final bracket being beaten by Terror Mountain, placing them 14th. And after making no changes to their line up in [[Altador Cup V|2010]] they were not expected to do much better. Though after beating expected contender [[Shenkuu]] in game one, they didn't play well after leaving them in 16th place at the end of the finals. | ||
[[Altador Cup VI]] had the Kiko Lakers excited for some time, holding 11th place for much of the second round-robin. However, as they began to falter against stronger teams, Teams Shenkuu and [[Brightvale]] kicked them out to fourth tier. Then, going into finals, they lost against [[Mystery Island]]. However, after losing against [[Faerieland]], they finished 16th. | [[Altador Cup VI]] had the Kiko Lakers excited for some time, holding 11th place for much of the second round-robin.

Under the new system of play introduced in [[Altador Cup VII]], Team Kiko Lake had a massive improvement over previous years' performance. Starting off incredibly strong, they were able to defeat primary threats such as [[Meridell]] and [[Tyrannia]] in the first round. Continuing this trend into the second round, fans were shocked when they pulled off three sweeps in a row against [[Maraqua]], [[Moltara]], and [[Faerieland]]. However, progressing into the third round, they slowed down to a point where in the fourth round, they didn't claim a single Yooyuball win. Regardless, the Kikos finished strong in 6th, a massive improvement over previous underwhelming finishes. | Under the new system of play introduced in [[Altador Cup VII]], Team Kiko Lake had a massive improvement over previous years' performance.
