Well that was quick! Nice job getting the first week played so soon.
Week one saw at least one upset and one shootout, but not so much blood. There's only one lonely rotter in the graveyard... Perhaps that will change this week?
On to the matchups!
Border Crossers (HUM) HAVOL vs. Sour Saurii (LIZ) jounisii
Our first match of week 2 features two teams looking for their first win. The Crossers got themselves in a shootout (with orcs!) last week, and despite several minor wounds came out the other side mostly intact. "Where big lizard?" asks ogre Dur Hur-Hur with what may be disappointment on his face (who can really read ogre expressions?). "I wunna play wit big lizard." The big lizard in question, Divided Dragon, will be missing this week's match due to a run-in with an angry saurus last week. Speaking of last week, the Saurii are thoroughly miffed following their Nuffle-aided loss in week 1. "We'sss better than thossse bananasss," grumbles saurus Grumpy Gharial. "They cheatsss! And we'sss better than thessse hairlessss apesss too. At leassst warmbloodsss are tasssty." If only the Saurii were getting enough inducement money for a chef...
White-Handz (ORC) Hudd vs. Pur'pl Pee'pl Eatr's (ORC) DocOz3000
Another matchup of winless teams, but orc on orc action means this one is of a different stripe. There's no telling which band of brutes will suffer more in this matchup, but it almost guaranteed that there will be suffering. Would anyone be surprised if the ball was completely forgotten in lieu of a total bash-fest? "We ain't forgettin nuttin," barks Handz blitzer Binch. "I gonna score, Gluva gonna score, and them purples gonna lose. You see we got another Ugrsh? Two Ugrshs! Ain't nobody can beat dat!" Indeed, Son of Ugrsh has joined the team, but the greenskins of PPE seem unfazed. "Two Ugrshs eh?" assesses Eatr's blitzer Takzog Goblinluva, squinting. "One of em looks purty dinky to me. Heck, they's both purty dinky! Hahaha! Come ere dinky orkies! Hahaha!" It seems neither of these teams has the sense to fear their opponents.
Banana Warriors (LIZ) Parrigan Niall vs. Gorland Skulls (ORC) gorbag1
This will be the first of many blueskin vs. greenskin matchups this season, and every one promises to be a brawl. The Warriors were the authors of a miracle win against the defending Immortal champs last week, and they hope to continue the magic into week 2. "Jussst the way we planned it, exssscept for that dirty fan throwing a rock at our ssstar," says saurus Top Banana. "We found the jerk and ate him after the match. What, thisss week? Yeah, orcsss. Guessss we better get usssed to that." Indeed they will, but the Skulls aren't offering much sympathy after their week 1 loss. "Sad widdle wizzies gonna cry about all da bad ole orcs?" taunted Skulls blitzer Krasha. "Suck it up, ya babies! We comin ta kill ya, we comin ta kill ya all!" Sounds like there's still plenty of fight in these orcs.
The Utopian Unicorns (WOE) Coach Jester vs. The Hamnurglars (NUR) Michaels
This match is already underway! Someone inform the authorities, the scheduling referee was not contacted. This matchup of week 1 winners was expected to be highly entertaining, and early reports say that it is. Unicorn tree Peter Northwood has already had a scare, but the team apothecary was on hand to save the day. "Sap?" the Unicorn team medic was heard to exclaim. "What am I supposed to do with sap? Just stuff it back in, I guess. I'm here to deal with elves, not sap!" Meanwhile, in a quiet moment on the sidelines, we caught up with Hamnurglar rotter Slouch, who was slumped on the bench dutifully watching the match. "Gunhh," he grunted. "Go way. Watch game." There you have it, game news live as it happens (such as it is).
