These are the teams:
Elizardbeth's Royal blood (Lizardmen) - Memofin
Fangless Freshmen (Vampire) - Saitani
Har Ganeth BB (Dark Elf) - Gnaarkill
Kamprads Classics (Humans) - Lars
Non-Fungible Team (Norse) - tags
Old Skool Orks III (Orcs) - Atte1979
s0 pRO MAD 53rFs (Chaos Dwarf) - J-Reedy
Steel of Sweden (Bretonnian) - Hakos
All right, time for the very last match day for most of these teams in NUL (at least for a couple of seasons), as we're starting over with fresh rookie teams next season!
Since we're 8 teams this season, there won't be semi-finals, just a straight final for the top 2 teams. It seems like my violent norse already are shoe-ins, but there are very real chances for 3 teams to fill the second spot (potentially 4, but that would be a stretch).
I won't be able to play before middle of next week at the earliest, so for now, happy new year everyone!
This will be an interesting gamme. Seems myself and Tags are, by far, the most lucky coaches this season. And we are in 1st and 2nd place in the standing as well to prove it.
A loss for me and I am very likely out of the final. This has the feel of a semi-final for me. Unfortunately I have not won a single game versus those frenzied Norwegian Norse berserksers yet and the team looks terrifying.
@Tags: I am on vacation the entire next week and can thus play almost whenever. Just let me know what suits you.
@All: Happy new NUL year!

Yeah, from looking at the records, it looks like I've won all three of these matchups exactly 2-1, remarkably consistent :D
Well, even with that, anything can happen in Blood Bowl! All it takes is a couple of nasty AV7 breaks, and my team is a lot less scary, just ask J-R :P
I can play the next few evenings, including this one. What about 20:00 tonight for example?

I am a bit more busy now compared to how it looked before new year. Suitable times would be wednesday starting at 20 or friday starting whenever.

Well, this was a nail-biter of a game where MAD Serfs managed to keep their hopes for the final alive with a last second TD.
Match started with Pro Chaos folk going on offense but the first ones to score were the paler folk. A sudden burst of fireball in middle of a side switch gave the Fangless students an opening that they used expertly to steal the ball and run far into MAD side of the field. The Dwarfs were slow to get up from the fireball, so the Freshmen managed to stall their 1-0 score almost to the end.
At the next kickoff the skies decided to even the heat ratio of air by opening up and sending in some pouring rain that lasted until end of the game. After some pointless violence and tea and cookies at the half-time, it was time for second half. Freshmen with their KO thinned ranks were planning to break through on their right but instead it was the Pros that went into action, Blitzing a Centaur under the ball. This resulted in a wrestling match where both sides held the ball alternatively until Vampire side ran out of players to pick up the ball. Hobgoblin Beaker the second ran in the equalizing TD but the MAD coach was shaking his head as there were only at the most three plays left on the clock.
Fortunately for the bearded folk, the kick landed deep and the Vampire sent to pick it up fumbled the pickup. Swarm of Hobgoblins and a Centaur rushed in with Vampire side trying to screen them. But in the end Beaker II decided to take the hero roll, running in to pick up the ball after Mr. Frankenstein had cleared the butter-fingered Vampire, fumbling around with the ball a bit before securing it and then jumping in with extra effort.
Quick game where both of us played bit loose, I think both of us had misclick if not two during the match and I totally forgot Saitani had induced a Harry Potter for himself. Saitani played excellent game as always but KOs (large part of which were caused by Bloodlust) and injuries made the match impossible to handle in the end. Good luck in next season, Saitani! You deserve all the luck after this set.

This was last game for both of the teams and we both expected it to be a bloodbath (it wasn't). Orcs had hired dribblesnot and lizards answered with Slibli.
I decided to score quickly because of the bomber and tried to defend rest of the game. I managed to do that with some lucky blitz to the ballcarrier and pass with skinks.
Well played Atte, it was a pleasure like always.
Now to plan for the next season and a fresh team.

Wednesday starting 20 sounds perfect, let's do it!
Looks like you were even busier than expected! Anyway, I think I can't do Friday, weekend looks a bit sketchy, so might run into next week then.

No worries mate! I should be good to start Monday at 2030, so let's aim for that (might be available sooner depending on how fast I get home from my squash session, but 2030 should be guaranteed)

And so it is settled.
After a grueling match that had many twists and turns, and saw a final end to the blood feud between Rock and G. E. Pasch, the match ended in a 2-1 victory to the norse. There were several points in the game I thought I was losing the match, but somehow that result has had some magnetic attraction in all our match-ups between these teams. And this, I guess, was the last of them.
Speaking of rough match-ups, this means that the finals for Season 48 are settled: Non-Fungible Team vs s0 pR0 MAD 53rFs
Anyhoo, thanks for the match Hakos, see you next season!

G.E. Pasch - The star player that has been with the team from day 1, Earning Mighty Blow in the very first game, the single most important player for the success of this team, died today. Not once, but twice.
Rock killed Pasch already in turn 1 but the APO saved him. However, in second half Rock killed him again and this time the APO could do nothing.
Normally I would be very frustrated about this loss. 81 SPP gone. However, this was the very last game for this team so it does not matter. It was a very fun match with many unexpected events and unusual play style (at least for me) and a nice ending of my Bretonnian experience.
Congratulations to Tags for reaching the final a third time with the Norse. And congratulations to J-Reedy for reaching the final with a fearsome team. I tried to make your task a little bit easier by making sure Rock can not join the final...

last match of main season allowed for the Ikea gang to redeem them self with a 2-1 win the dark elfs sustained some bad injuries but at least it was the last match so didn't matter that much.
