Welcome everyone to Smash of the Day with 3 times Blood Bowl medal winner, twice nominated “Most Brutal Player� and convicted felon, Bob Bifford and me, Jim Johnson, bringing you all the action from the RT Cup.
Thanks, Jim, it’s great to be here again isn’t it?
It certainly is, Bob.
It’s all go in the RT Cup, Jim, as we’ve completed the group stage of the competition. In Fellentos Division the OverCheesers came out on top with a record breaking 10 touchdowns in three games. You’ve got to fancy the Skaven going forward into the playoffs with that kind of scoring power.
You certainly do, Bob. The OverCheesers will be playing the Champions of Corruption. The Chaos Dwarves will be no pushovers and might just have the defensive chops to keep the Cheesers out of the game. It’s not a foregone conclusion by any means.
Second in Fellentos Division are the Wood Elves of the Everglade Wanderers. Unusually for Wood Elves, the Wanderers have been playing a rushing game and it’s paid off, resulting in 8 touchdowns over the group stage.
That’s right, Bob, and they’ll be playing the third placed team from Badger Division, the Grimm Grimms. The humans have been carrying a number of injuries over the group stage but on their day they’re a formidable prospect. The elves will have to work on their dancing to get past these veterans.
The winners of Badger Division are the Witch Gate Wanderers who romped home with 2 wins and a draw. The Dark Elves are looking confident going into the playoffs with a full team and some quality players. I’m obliged to mention Rhiannhor at this stage, partly because the blitzer is the most experienced player in the competition, and partly because he’s got my family and promised not to hurt them if I mentioned him.
Typical of a Dark Elf, Bob, absolutely typical. They’ll be playing the Brewers Brawlers. These Dwarves have been around for a while and most of that time has been spent in the pub. That explains their preference for high risk plays and long passes. It’s almost unheard of for Dwarves to make this work, especially after 17 pints a head before each game.
Badger Division’s second placed team, Jim, is Saur’d of Justice. These investigative Lizards travelled here under mysterious circumstances and their investigations haven’t finished yet. The raw strength of the Sauri makes them a terrifying prospect and the speed of the Skins gives them an ability to stretch the field of play that’s unmatched in my opinion.
That’s true, Bob, but the third place team from Fellentos Division, SuchDodge, will be taking it to them and hoping that all that strength will be worthless against opponents that dodge out of the way. The Amazons hail from the mysterious continent of Lustria, just like the Lizardmen but don’t expect either side to go easy on the other. It’s do or die at this point and every touchdown counts.
). Idan has spectated a couple of games so it can be done - you join once the game is in progress and fast forward up to the live moment.
