MAD Serfs take a chance of snatching the Finnish championship! This pretty unknown championship is awarded to the team that manages to defeat other teams in the league who know the secret of talking with hard consonants and rolling r's and using over 2,700 different forms for any single word while sounding absolutely gibberish to all the other teams that don't know this secret language of powerful curses. Another requirement for winning this championship is to collect a Fin and a Nish while playing against the other teams competing for the championship. Chaos Dwarf team managed to get the Fin at the final moments of their game against the Elizardbeth's Royal Blood when a Skink was sent to injury box missing one Fin. Now the Finnish championship for MAD Pro Serfs is up to their final game against Old Skool Orks III where they need to win the game and get the Nish. Problem is, nobody knows what a Nish is, so MAD Pros are planning a research trip to all the librariums that hold ancient Finnish tomes of knowledge (most of them actually being collections of curse words that only the most powerful wizards can use due to them twisting the tongue of the speaker if they are not fluent in this strange secret language).

Yup, got two Sauri out early, so that kind of eased the game and I managed to stop the Lizard offence due to bad dodging luck from Memofin (and that dodging luck was missing also for rest of the match). Second half I scored during midpoint of the half but Memofin really made me work for TD. Final kickoff was a Blitz and my Centaur managed to run under the ball and catch it, which pretty destroyed the Royal ones chance for equilizer.

Thanks again for the game, Memofin. Better luck in the rest and next season! (...but not against me)

Dark Elves vs Bretonnians looked even on paper since both teams had TV 1730.

And it was extremely even. It could have ended in any way and the deciding touchdown only came in turn 16 after 4 dice rolls with no RR. This was a nailbiter match.

First half Bretonnians decide to let the elves attack. Already on turn 3 the elves tries to bypass the entire defense but one lucky blitz later the ball is free. The Bretonnians then pick it up and transport it all the way to a touch down in turn 8. Not easily, those agile elves found small holes in the defense every single turn to threaten the carrier.

Second half starts with full teams again. This time the Bretonnians loose the ball already in turn 10. The ball is loose for a few turns on the LOS until the AG5 elf does his job by sneaking in, picking up the ball and running away again. 1-1 is scored with three turns left.

Ok, all-in attack for the Bretonnians to see if a victory in three turns is possible.
- First turn the ball is picked up and kept out of distance for the elves
- Second turn the ball is transported 14 squares via a handover and is within TD distance
- Third turn the elven blitz fails but every single Bretonnian is marked. Three knights manage to coordinate their attacks to free up a passage and finally the ball carrier can score 2-1 in turn 16.

Thanks for the game Gnaarkill. Really even and fun game. I just wish your evil fan had not killed my peasant after my turn 16.

The "Èl Clasico" of Blood Bowl, humans versus orcs was played tonight in perfect weather at The Headmasters Office.

The match was even in brutality, Nuffle's favor and scoring. The first half started off with The Classic attacking. During their drive towards The Orks' endzone they mauled two orcs to the infirmary and only one could be revived enough to continue the match later on. The humans were forced to score quickly as they hooked around the right flank with The Orks in their stride and before the half was even half way through the score was 0-1.

The Orks regrouped for an attack with an equalizer gleaming in their eyes. But try as they may, The Classic held them off with exemplary tactical play and the help of Nuffle. In a last minute desperate effort The Orks tried to pick the ball up from a couple of pairs of legs in an attempt to try and hand it off to a lone lineman waiting for some sort of miracle to land the ball in his hands within running distance of The Classics endzone, but unfortunately for The Orks they couldn't get the ball off the ground at all.

The second half witnessed a furious horde take to the pitch as The Orks were raging against Nuffle's unfairness but just as they were supposed to unleash Hell's Fury on The Classic someone from the crowd threw a rock the size of two orcs fists straight to the right temple of a Black Orc who was just about to introduce The Classic's star Ogre Nisse to the ground of The Headmasters Office. This incident forced the Head Coach of The Orks to quickly come up with another strategy to get his team on the scoreboard. So he ordered all his players to charge with furious aggression against The Classic. This strategy worked out fine for The Orks in the end as they scored the equalizing touchdown with just seconds remaining on the clock and only about a dozen players on the pitch all together. With only scraps of time remaining The Classic, realising they didn't have enough time to score again, concentrated their focus completely on violence ending the match 1-1.

The match was devastating for both teams and The Classic will miss lineman Frost in their next match and The Orks will have to make do without the services of their Thrower Moghuk and the Black Orc Blocker Ulgrot Tear'Noz.

The sports reporter of The New Ork Post managed to sneak in to the medicin cave where Moghuk is being treated and got a quote from him: "Five more minutes mommy, I promise I won't be late for school."



Thank you once more for the game Lars, it was fun as usual.

After the sun comes the rain after struggeling in several games where the pesky ball in the sky made thingsn hard for the freshmen the rain came, not that it helped keeping them on the ptich but atleast it made it harder for the NFT's to handle the ball. a hard fought game that in the end ended in a 2-1 win the the vamps. GG and good luck in the next one tags.

Yeah, thanks for the game Saitani, hope your team isn't too crippled. I got really luck with removals, but my guys seemed to be afraid of the pigskin this time around.
