Welcome back to the big time once again! As it appears I'm the only one new to this party, I'd like to welcome me for the first time. Good to see you all again (for the first time). Now down to business.
We have 8 teams, so it will be a single round-robin with top 4 teams reaching the playoffs. It's a very greenskin/blueskin heavy league this season, former champs of Immortal and Iron abound, and things will probably get downright nasty. I suspect our graveyard will be brimming with skinks, elves, dirty humans and filthy rotters, and a big nasty pile of orcs. So get to the killing! And scoring too, I guess that's kinda important.
Good luck to all.
The matchups of Week 1:
Pur'pl Pee'pl Eatr's (ORC) DocOz3000 vs. Border Crossers (HUM) HAVOL
Two teams from last season meet again in this week 1 matchup. The Eatr's are preparing to begin their campaign of terror, but can they keep up with the speed of Coach Havol and his Crossers? "It's easy to keep up with 'em when theyz bleedin' on the ground," laughs PPE blitzer Mogost Skulspliter. "Ask 'em if they wanna quit now. Ha!" The human side is having none of it, however. "Oh we're quaking," scoffs BC blitzer Jekil Advar. "We sharpen our teeth on orcs bones. Notice how our practice ball is green? Orc hide."
Banana Warriors (LIZ) Parrigan Niall vs. Sour Saurii (LIZ) jounisii
Iron champs vs. Immortal champs! And a mirror match to boot. These team are very familiar with each other, having squared off 5 times before. The Saurii have taken 4 of the 5, and the other match finished in a draw. "Nothingsss changed," remarks legendary skink Intense Iguana, "exsscept now I'm a legend. We'll win again. Who do we play week 2?" The two-time champs are nothing if not confident. "Everything has changed," disputes superstar skink Rama. "We're champsss now, too. They got nothing on usss! Besidesss, look how big Rex isss." Two teams brimming with confidence. Something has to give.
The Hamnurglars (NUR) Michaels vs. White-Handz (ORC) Hudd
Here we see the bashiest of the bash-fests this week. Will Coach Michaels claws or Coach Hudd's steroid-induced greenskins take the day? The only certainty is this one will be violent. "Papa Nurgle invented violence, you know," burbles beast Toxaic the Great, through our very unfortunate nurgle translator, "right after he invented sexy appendages. Would you like to see my sexy appendages?" Both surprisingly lucid and predictably disturbing. Fortunately the Handz are more...traditional. "We ripz off appenda-thingies, sexy or not sexy," proclaims star thrower Gluva. "Then I throwz em and we scorez. Works every time." This one could get...gross.
The Utopian Unicorns (WOE) Coach Jester vs. Gorland Skulls (ORC) gorbag1
And now for our prancy dancy match of the week - at least on one side of the pitch. We'll all be watching these brave woodies with particular attention. Can such a team survive a season with all these murderers? "Of course," says surprisingly young wardancer Cynthia Sin. "Survive and thrive. Will you still be calling us underdogs when we're 7-0? I hope so, cutie, I hope so." The Skulls have a different take. "No," says black orc Urgoth Smash'Eadz. "They not survive dis week. I kill evvy one." Is that a promise?
