Tournament's Top Yooyuball Squads Go Head To Head (27 Jun 2008)
As the Altador Cup tournament enters its second weekend, most of Neopia's Yooyuball enthusiasts have turned their interest toward this Saturday's matchup between Krawk Island and Roo Island. This contest, which will pit the Year 10 tournament's two winningest Yooyuball squads against each other, has all the makings of an epic clash. The odds-on favourite going into the match is Krawk Island, which has absolutely steamrolled its opponents, tallying impressive victories against the Darigan Citadel, Shenkuu, Kreludor, and Mystery Island. Although some analysts said before the tournament that they believed Krawk goalkeeper Garven Hale was starting to slip from his position as the game's finest netminder, Hale has looked better than ever during the first week and a half of this tournament. On the other hand, Roo Island won their first six Yooyuball matches before getting upset by a surprising Lost Desert squad this past Monday. The Roo Islanders quickly returned to their winning ways, however, taking down a very tough Haunted Woods team the next day. Although the sting of that Lost Desert loss remains in the thoughts of Roo Island's players, a victory over Krawk Island would go a long way toward restoring the confidence that they're so well known for. Regardless of who wins on Saturday, there's one thing you can be sure of: it certainly won't be boring!
