CoachRattenfetza works for GW right?

D*mn .... how do we clone him and put him in all their stores (and more importantly in GW legal and the high up suit positions).

[Glorian Underhill]

It is a very entertaining Blog. Especially for everyone who was there and played his round and couldnt see the final.

CoachRattenfetza works for GW right?

Yep... and he is doing his job very well!
I guess, Sascha " Mr. listen to me or i will drop my pants" likes his job
(at last this part) for sure!

Very good storytelling, Sascha!

Great Blog, nice to see some live coverage of the tournament. Once again, i had lots of fun

Were the three new races allowed to be used and no one brought them, or were they not allowed?

They haven't been brought... :-/

Not too much of a surprise:
- Underworld and Chaos Pact are not the most interesting tournament teams as they need plenty of skills to get going (same as Vampires, Chaos).
- Underworld configured for stunty cup are just less interesting Goblins.
- GW-legal Slann minis are very hard to optain.

[CoachRattenfetza]

Micha: That has been a very long commercial break... these necromancer spots will bore you to death. But we are back for more!

Headcoach "Oventas" has brought his last substituion into the Dungeon - now they are fielding their full squad of 2 Trollslayers, 2 Blitzers, 2 Runners and 5 Blockers. But three of them are out of striking (and helping) distance - teleported right away from the action!

Holger: And the "VoP" is gathering to attack right NOW! Both guarding Blitzers lead the attack and the majority of their team is caught in a brawl just a few steps away from the "DD" endzone! The Trollslayers are under special attention; getting the worst of it but still no casualties on both sides...

Micha: Someone should put back the BLOOD in this Dungeon Bowl final...

[CoachRattenfetza]

Holger: Ouch! A desperated Blitz by the Runner - and there one of the Gutter Runners is knocked out, at least! Will this be the first sign of their offense?!

Micha: I'm still uncertain: it seems to me, that they are trieing to grind it down - but whether their opponents OR the time, I'm not sure...

Holger: Someone should remember them, that not all of the races in this world are meant to live THIS long. The "VoP" are taking things personal again and pressure the ballcarrier and his defensive cage a little further - can they keep controll of the ball and the game?!

Micha: They are outnumbering the "DD" by just one player right now - with the K.O. of their fourth Gutter Runner, they keep the Dwarves nailed to the point.

[CoachRattenfetza]

Holger: The left wing of the "DD" is breaking open - their Longbeards are not fast enough to make a difference in this situation (or in the game at all, at this moment). We will see, what Coach "Oventas" has still in his bag of tricks, to win the final! Their Runner is facing more Skaven than he can count and his mates are counting their bruises and seeing stars...

Micha: But what do he see here - desperate times need desperate measures: the Runner is trying his luck with the glowing teleporter pad!

Holger: A quick green flash of light and he is gone... to reappeare some metres from his position again. That was not, what Coach "Oventas" has hoped for...

Micha: But still he is in charge and with some assistance from his mates, he will live to see the victory celebration (from either team).

[CoachRattenfetza]

Holger: Coach "Flix" - a nearly seven year Dungeon Bowl veteran will not let this easily his victory get out of reach. His fast and "furry(ios)" players are backing away from the melee and head for the new formed cage in the middle of the central bridge. Those engaged in the brawl will bind the remaining Dwarves, hopeful long enough to get the ball and score!

Micha: With the returning Gutter Runner from the surgeon table, he has one more knife to throw on the Dwarves (I hope not only literally) - down there it seems that the tension gets the better of the players; "VoP" Linerat blocks and fails - a turnover at a critical moment so far in the game!

Holger: Who can blame this poor rookie rat for screwing it all up?

Micha: His Coach, his mates and maybe every "VoP" fan anywhere?!

Holger: This opens another go for the endzone for the leading Runner.

[CoachRattenfetza]

Micha: The remaining Gutter Runner teleports right into the action - half a mile too far away for my taste, but he is still fast enough to make a difference (I hope at least)...

Holger: Baccking their teammate up, the melee in the Dwarve quarter reaches another level - but still nothing to count for FF...I've seen more blood and passion for violence in a game of Halflings in a Sunday afternoon "Moot charity game" (when they found out that there will be no more roasted beef for fourth dinner).

Micha: We will remember this as the final of the thousand pushes...

Holger: And further pushing are the Dwarves at the moment - for the endzone and the title! But also Coach "Flix" keeps fighting... but not all of his players are that skillfull it seems.

SLOWMOTION REPLAY:
Mustering the last of his strength, Fuzzy Blackwind aimed for the unprotected lower parts of his opponent - the metal inforced tip of his shoes kicking up with all his might... AAIIIE! A high pitched scream (like a cat caught in a closed door) assailed the other players and let them stop a few seconds to see Fuzzy jumping and whining with his broken foot - the Dwarf seems not to be very impressed and knocks on his inforced piece of armour that far south...

Micha: A nasty turnover - aren't these additional armour adjustments illegal? How ever magical, or by nature - this stops the comeback of the "VoP" a with mere inches from the endzone, the Runner reaches high over his head and slams the ball down for the game winnning TOUCHDOOOOWWWNN!

Holger: Congratulations to the new champion: the Dodgy Dwarves!

[Jeremiah Kool]

Great report, Mr. Rattenfetza! Next time we want to see it on You Tube!

BTW, the winner´s name is "Oventa", not "Oventas", IIRC.

[Oventa]

Ah you beat me to that correction

Other then that, thanks for the nice featurette!
