And IIIIIIITTTTTTTTs TIME for the First Ultimate Bowler's Semi-Finals.
Four team left, one of them will become the UBC champ, and two of them, will be the contenders for the belt. And what a journey it have been.
First up, we have;
*Wins - Losses - Losses by Submission (UBC)
First introducing Norbagge United, coached by Knockoff. He first faced the wood Elf team, Freedom Rock, destroying that team with four injuries and four knockouts, winning the match 2-0, sending the norse to the quarter-final, where he met up against the chaos dwarves, Chaos, Beards and Horns. That match was a clear roll over, only allowing the dwarves to have 6% possession of the ball. A huge 3-0 victory, ensuring Norbagge United to become one of the fan favorites in UBC.
The two players to keep an eye with is, Ingort Kjelstaad, which have scored three times. He is able to dodge through the best set defense. The other is a tank, the berserker Sigvald Codpiece. He have earned himself seven injuries, two of them resulting in injuries. Even when dealing out carnage, he have also been able to score one of Norbagge United's touch down.
Knockoff is facing, Meat Puppets, the necro team coached by the well-known Tector, the gold champion. The Meat Puppets started with a tough match against Furious Rage, taking the match all the way to penalties, but with Nuffle's blessing, they were able to qualify for the quarter-finals facing one of the Ultimate Bowlers toughest coaches, Kaiser. If anyone had any doubts, whatever or not the Meat Puppets deserved the spot, that doubt was quickly erased, when they completely dominate the UBC Titans, winning 3-0.
The duo werewolves, Sowarg Weylyn and Simlarg the Howler is going to be a challenge for any opponents.
Whoever wins this match, have deserved the spot in the final.
The Second Semi-final is;
*Wins - Losses - Losses by Submission (UBC)
The second semi-final presents Michaels' Ultimate Butter Coks. An undead team that have not walk through the qualification match and quarter-final with ease. First they met up against, the Dozen Dirty Dwarves, taking the match into overtime, winning on sudden death, 2-1.
The quarter-final was against the norse, Furious Rage, one of the craziest matches of Ultimate Bowler. Being behind 2-0 in second half, the Ultimate Bowler was still able to tie the game before the end of second, and winning in over time, thereby earning themselves a place in the semi-finals.
Keep an eye with Whitey, the ghoul who have scored four of the five touchdowns.
The Undead is facing the orcs, Da Big Red Machine, coached by Bubs. A bit of controversy regarding this team, and it's place in the semi-finales, losing twice. But as Da'na Whiteknight, diplomatically have stated,; "shut your mouth, cry babies. Do we have to wipe your tears every time blood bowl does not seem fair? When your ogre injuries itself on a skink? When a fan takes out your star player with a rock, or when your players just stay knocked out, when you need them the most? They have more experience than you? Then be an Ultimate Coach and adjust your tactics and find some game-changing inducements. This is Blood Bowl, so shut the hell up. Da Big Red Machine have earned their way to their semi-finale, and a contender to the final. Them is the Rules".
And earned their place they have. First facing Chaos, Beards and Horns, a tough match, losing in over time. Then getting a chance as a wild card against Furious Rage, which was able to score in the last second of the match.
Getting another chance as a wild card, was earned by team Rocketdeath dominance in the Ultimate Bowler, this time facing a Dozen Dirty Dwarves, able to finally earn a victory, 1-0. Going to the quarter-finals, they met the human team, the Elite Crusaders, which had destroyed the team they met in the pre-rounds 3-0, not an easy match-up. Da Big Red Machine was able to take the match in to overtime, winning it on sudden death.
Yes, they earned their right to be in the semi-finals.
The team have found their footing with the help of the three blitzers, Larionov, Krutov and Petrov. Keep an eye with number 2, 3 and 4, as they certainly is going to leave bodies in their wake.
The matches are 4 min pr. round. They are knock-outs, with overtime and if needed penalties. It is important for all players to remember, that rerolls add to the chance of winning the penalty round, if going so far.
The players are also allowed to concede a match, but it will be recorded as a loss by submission. This will of course, reward the opponent 2 MVPs and double the gold, which will make them stronger for future matches. This could become a problem, as the teams could meet again in the UBC. So before Conceding, weigh the consequences.
