June 26th: Death by Fish

If there was any hope that Haunted Woods could pull off the impossible and make the finals, it was put to rest yesterday when the Maraquan team they jumped swept them. Maraqua apparently doesn’t take lightly to being pushed into the third tier when they were looking at the finals.

Virtupets was pushed away from the finals a little more when Darigan won everything but SOSD. Virtupets looks like they’ll have to settle with the second tier this year.

Meridell had 4th place taken from them by Roo Island and had to prove they deserve that spot against Krawk Island. It didn’t go exactly to plan. Although Meridell did win yooyuball, that is all they won.

Roo Island went into their game against Kreludor knowing they were barely holding onto a spot in the finals and they knew what they had to do. The Rooligans pulled off an upset by winning yooyuball and SOSD.

Predictions:

Krawk Island vs. Kreludor: Kreludor

Mystery Island vs. Altador: Mystery Island

Meridell vs. Darigan Citadel: Meridell

Maraqua vs. Terror Mountain: Maraqua

Haunted Woods vs. Tyrannia: Haunted Woods

Shenkuu vs. Kiko Lake: Shenkuu

Virtupets vs. Faerieland: Virtupets

Lost Desert vs. Brightvale: Lost Desert

Moltara vs. Roo Island: Roo Island

 Kreludor and Krawk Island will be very interesting. Why should Kreludor win? They seem to do better in second place. They’ve swept Krawk Island the last two times they’ve met. Why should Krawk Island win? They have to.

On paper you might take Darigan over Meridell, but this is a lot like Roo Island vs. Kreludor. Meridell has a whole lot more to play for than the DC. 

Roo Island should get some space between themselves and Meridell and Krawk Island today. The knights and pirates will have to play their hearts out today. :p
