WCQ Playoffs - Who's Who?
We've had the thrills, spills & bitter pills of a furious 5 weeks of the group
stage of our illustrious World Cup Qualifiers & at last the dust has (temporarily)
settled & 16 teams have emerged to compete in the playoffs...
but just who are these rising stars? Here at NBC Sports we've attempted to
find out more about our potential champions elect.
Hdawg's Strikers WC (Hdawg)
Many of the more veteran members of the Strikers came from a separate NAF farm team. Star thrower, Sir Lobbings,
his partner in crime Sir Baller, Oldman Open, and long-time blitzers Manfred Von Mangles (AKA Manny),
Terry the Trampler, and Capt. Rammer all used to play for The Hellhounds.
Head Coach Veronica, short on cash and interested in getting some fresh blood onto the team,
opted to trade away the six players. Head Coach Hdawg picked them up for his brand new Iron Phoenix
team in the first Tin Cup and tried to pass the players off as brand new blood bowlers.
Many of these six call Middenheim home, though Manny is from Nordland. Sir Lobbings son, Jr.
Heard of the team swap and secretly called in some favors
with his rich friends to get him onto the team during tryouts in Altdorf.
Along with Meathead, Juggernutter, and Sparkly Steve rounding out their human lineup.
The team's funds were low following recruitment and they didn't have enough money left for a regular ogre,
but the Head Coach lucked out and found a
gentle ogre who was more prone to crying than getting angry.
Tiny Tim was the final addition to the team and came at 1/2 price due to his more passive/shy nature.
Since the teams inception, Hdawg's Strikers have picked up new members and participated in Silver Cup,
featuring in write ups in sports columns such as Spike Magazine and Channel-H News.
More than one of their games have been a featured match for Cabalvisions very
own hi-destiny 24 hour coverage. Other members, present and past, include Master Chef, Mr Backup (AKA Danny),
and Pat 'the Punchingbag' Peters. After a resounding pair of losses in a best of three in Silver Cup Semi-Finals
the team is excited to be getting a crack at the 2nd round of the World Cup qualifiers and dare to dream that perhaps the
golden ticket to world might be theirs!
Ugly Tryhards (koolaidconvoy)
The Ugly Tryhards are a dirty, rotten dwarf team coached by a dirty, rotten dwarf pickers who isn't man enough
to get a world cup spot on the ladder. He apologizes for all the tears spilt as his dwarfs do the cancerous dwarf
things they were born for. The coach is also the highest ranked dwarf coach on the open ladder, so remind him of
that when we inevitably falls short in his dwarven way.
Eze Mode (RTSD)
RTSD, otherwise recognized as the baby face. Started playing the game during the legendary edition,
perhaps best known in Iron Phoenix for coaching underworld. In the IP WC qualifiers he unwisely chose to take
a race he had never played with before (Wood Elves) because they were "OP and eze mode". Since then they have
rolled 2 +st and a doubles and he doesn't know wtf he should be doin with 'em. Perhaps one of you can make his
1st world problems actually problematic?
Git Lucky (Sitaavanu)
The Git lucky crew is a group of failed celebrities turned BB players literally putting their lives on the line
trying to recapture their 15 minutes of fame.
Sadly not all of them seem to know exactly where they are or what they are doing.
In his first match McCaullty Trollkin failed a whopping 9 'too stupid' roles in his first game and ended the game
by succeeding on a blitz into double skulls. Clearly suffering from some kind of withdrawal effects, while the rest
of the games have certainly been better for him he has still been the most unreliable big guy I've ever coached.
The crew drew almost all of their play off matches and almost didn't make it to the last stage but pulled out a miracle
win vs The Classic Toads and jumped from spot 5 to spot 2 in the last game leaving their division with the Highest TV to boot!
Entering into the next stage they have picked up the enigmatic Nicholas Rage, an orc with 'sure hands' and 'pass'!?
Not sure who he thinks he's going to be throwing the ball too!
The Church of Punch (Mercy Flush)
Controvercy abounds in the holy chapel of Punch...
2 unbelievable victories against seasoned opponents
(+ a point & a couple of ass kickings against 3 far superior coaches)
resulted in a highly contentuous qualification for these
earstwhile orcs.. but here they are..
faith in a goblin quartrback (amazingly) did them zero favours!
but they have now got their act together (somewhat) &
will go into the playoffs with a do or die attitude
(which will suit their armour breaking ineptitude no end!)
pity these poor souls.. they're only trying to have some fun yr'honour!
