BAM! And just like that, we're ahead of schedule! WOOT, Woot!! Good Job, guys. Let's do our best to show that inferior Bronze division just how 'rea' Blood Bowlers play!! (by the way, you're all members of our Steam group, right? Find us here and join!
steamcommunity.com/groups/ironbreakers
We'd looove to be friends... (lol)
So this week saw the waters get a bit clearer. The top teams of the division have started to emerge. The top coaches just keep rolling (yes, I'm talking about you, Jounisii and Hirumazeo!) regardless of the opposition.But remember, coaches, you don't have to be the top team thru the regular season to win it all. The top 8 teams from the division will advance to the playoffs for a shot to don the Iron Crown!
As the week will roll tonight/ Monday I will just add the remaining days from the old week to this one. That means MD4 will roll 2100 GMT-8, Wednesday, 17 December.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE UPLOAD YOUR FRIGGIN' MATCH AFTER YOU PLAY TO OUR BBM LEAGUE!!!
League: IP Iron League (S6)
League ID: 11047
Pword: 123
Look, we all want to scout you just as bad as you want to scout us. Upload your friggin' match or else! OK? Good.
Now the matches:
Banana Warriors v Sour Saurii
Should be a solid match. Both teams are recent graduates of the Bronze Shield.Since joining the scrum for the Iron Crown, both coaches have been following slightly different paths. Coach Jounisii has quickly established the Saurii as a team to reckon with. Coach Parrigan Niall is trying to reckon himself! The season is still young and each coach still has much time to solidify his spot. It will be fun to watch these well known foes battle it out in the upper tiers, don't you think?
Prediction: though each team is currently on opposite ends of the rankings, they're very close! Almost identical, really. Even TV. Even RR's. Slight edge to Jounisii's assistants, but that shouldn't make too much of a difference. This one will come down to coaching and the lucky casualty. This Coach sees it as a 2-2 draw. Neither team will be much worse for wear. Maybe a MNG skink, or something, but overall, even. You've seen their semifinal in Bronze, right? What... you don't watch replays?! You bastard!
Slinky Jack's All Stars v White Handz
Since the loss of Cap'n Slinky Jack, the All Stars have struggled mightily. Yes, they've been competitive in each match. Yes, they'll continue to play each coahc/team tough, but it seems like they're missing something... They're missing that Star Player that rallies them on the pitch to greatness. They're missing that fire.
Coach Hudd and his Handz know a thing or two about fire. That rat-bastard Urgsh is a walking inferno. The rest of the Handz warm themselves next to his flame. As he lives, so do they. As he kills, so do his greenskin brothers. How long before Urgsh is just a blitzer? How long before he ignites the greatest WAAGH this league has seen? How long will Warboss Hudd keep this Nob under his boot?
Prediction: Another sad step for Coach Insidious and his All Stars. Too much bash from Urgsh and his (not the coaches!) clan. 2-1 for the Handz with a season/career ending injury to one of the skinks...
Babes N Blades v The Maniac Medics
My drow are coming off an improbable win vs Deano's Norse. Yeah, yeah, I was touting the victory before it even happened... but what do you want me to do, huh? You want me to go ahead and say "this will be a tough match? I hope to make it out alive..." Stuff like that?! Well too bad!
Yes, I expect death. Yes, expect near-defeat. But you know what? I also expect to win!
Prediction: As long as I stay away from Hannibal Lecter, I'll be ok. 2-1 for me!!!
Neorromanticos v The Night Hawks
Can anyone stop Coach Hirumazeo, please? He's making us all look bad. Look, one thing I know is that Regeneration will stop working one day. Wollack Melenablanca will hit the canvas and not get back up! Please, Jester, make that day today!!!
Is the Human condition to not win? Is it, then, to not lose? Humans are touted to be the most balanced team in Blood Bowl; is that why Coach Jester has yet to tally a win this season? Is it the team? Or something more? (lol) Nar... Jester's a legendary coach. He'll give those Necro's what for, right, fellas? Look, if it's one thin I know... he'll bring his stompin' boots to the show!
Prediction: 2-0 for the defending Champions. Jester will find himself just on the cusp... only for Hiru to get a 'lucky' result (offense or defense, you choose) that will change the whole match. Sorry, Jester. Better insure them stompin' boots...
Northern Pain v Word of Borf
You guys know this rivalry, right? Coach Manco thinks Coach Deano cannot coach any team other than Dorfs or Norse with any efficiency. Coach Deano proclaims Manco is a dirty cheat and needs the 'claw' mutation of Chaos to be successful. In the battle for the Tin and Bones Cup, each coach is coaching the other's favorite team. After the season, one coach will have won bragging rights over the other. 4
Well, fellas, that is Tin. Not Iron. Thinks are a bit tougher here! Bring your 'A' game and settle this like the bloodthirsty people that you are! Nothing like a good game at high TV to settle things, right? (even though Manco will get plenty of inducements!)
Prediction: 2-1 for the Pain! I don't think inducements will really help that much. I think good old-fashioned bashing will win the day. Sorry Manco, but in this coaches opinion, he's got you beat.
Gorland Inferno v Sever Drowsiness
If one thing can be said of Coach Gorbag and his Inferno; they keep playing! Sure, Nuffle gets them down. Sure, he get's in their way, but you know what... Coach Gorbag is there after every match to pick up the pieces and put his squad back out there on the pitch week after week. And what's more is that he's absolutely competitive about it! Boy, don't sleep on Gorbag, or else...
Severe Drowsiness was one of the favorites to graduate from Bronze and contend for the Iron Crown. They have had a rude awakening since joining the league. Casualties have mounted at an alarming rate! What would you do? How would you stem the tide? Yeah, me also.... Keep playing!!! Coach Longstreet showed some serious mettle last match when he snatched the win from our bastard proxy. Keep it up, Longstreet. Greatness awaits you and your Drow!
Prediction: 1-1 draw! You got over on Nuffle last week, Longstreet. He's here to collect this one. So pay up!
Allright, coaches. That's all I have this week. Please enjoy your matches. And enjoy the BS I write It's for your pleasure!
