::[Team Brightvale|Brightvale]]: '''Brightvale Seeks Statistical Advantage'''-After years of poor showings, Brightvale put their land's scholarly expertise to use. "We've brought in a statistical guru," defender Montecito explained, "who's crunched the numbers to give us an idea of what a player will do in a certain situation. Take, for instance, Volgoth from Mystery Island. 84% of the time he runs right over you and 9% of the time he passes. The other 7% of the time he gets distracted by something shiny in the crowd." | |||
::[[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 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.

::[[Team Shenkuu|Shenkuu]]: '''Looking to the Skies'''-Every Yooyuball fan has their own way of guessing how well their favourite team will do in the Altador Cup, but none has a method as unique as that of the Wise Old Gnorbu at the Lunar Temple. He lets Kreludor guide him! "It's a very intricate system," the Gnorbu claims. "I noticed that our Yooyuball team performs better when Kreludor is waning, so I make my friendly wagers accordingly." Well, it makes as much sense as reading tea leaves or flipping a coin, doesn't it? | ::[[Team Shenkuu|Shenkuu]]: '''Looking to the Skies'''-Every Yooyuball fan has their own way of guessing how well their favourite team will do in the Altador Cup, but none has a method as unique as that of the Wise Old Gnorbu at the Lunar Temple.

::[[Team Terror Mountain|Terror Mountain]]: '''Terror Mountain Seeks to Raise Support'''-"It's a vicious cycle," defender Rinok Fitel explained. "The trip to Altador's difficult, so not many fans make it. Less support puts the team at a disadvantage, so then we don't play as well, which discourages fans even more." This offseason the team's tried plenty of ways to break the cycle. "We've reached out to the fans with lots of promotion and did a toy drive with Donny's Repair Shop to help with travel costs. We're doing all we can." | ::[[Team Terror Mountain|Terror Mountain]]: '''Terror Mountain Seeks to Raise Support'''-"It's a vicious cycle," defender Rinok Fitel explained.

::[Team Tyrannia|Tyrannia]]: '''Toughing It Out in Tyrannia'''-"Scrap" Taggert says that his team looks forward to playing in the Altador Colosseum again. "For our home games, we use the Grarrl Keno Bowl, so we have to take everything down whenever there's a hatching. It's a lot of work." Team captain Loryche says Tyrannia plans to bring a stronger game than ever to the Cup and admits that Tyrannia held recruitment drives earlier this year, but there is no word yet of any roster changes. | |||
::[[Team Virtupets|Virtupets]]: '''Gearing Up with Virtupets Space Station'''-Team captain Keetra Deile tells us that her team is training with the Ogrin Master. Meanwhile, Weldar Xupenfarb has signed a sponsorship deal with Kacheek and Sons Landscaping, who announced that they have big plans for Space Station facilities. We also heard that XL Striker 3.8 went in for a complete chassis overhaul and had this to say: "This Striker unit is now fully upgraded with the latest virtual adrenaline technology. Game on." | ::[[Team Virtupets|Virtupets]]: '''Gearing Up with Virtupets Space Station'''-Team captain Keetra Deile tells us that her team is training with the Ogrin Master.
