Let's Get Ready To Rumble!! An O[L]C History Lesson

Well, well, well...

The O[L]C Grands Prix are looking like they are ready for action and let me tell ya, this man is trembling with anticipation for the major entertainment that is sure to follow. Most of the new contenders are shaping up their teams and getting ready for the big events! Five Grands Prix! Surely things can't get any more exciting than that. Anyway, it seemed like a good time for a little preview.

The Once and Future Kings
Here we are. These champs are the ones that you should all be looking to emulate. Shining examples of the power and passion of the O[L]C, these teams are our current champs. Will they seek to defend their titles?? Will they make weight for their title defence if they do? One thing is for sure, you wouldn't want to meet one of these teams in a dark alley!

O[L]C Grand Prix VI (Heavyweight)
Current Champ: Horror Scopes
Race: Nurgle

Ahhhhh, the Heavyweights! The ones that this jaded promoter loves more than anything! Watching a big, bloated Heavyweight smashing all and sundry is enough to bring a tear to the eye and the Scopes are no exception. A nice and aggressive Nurgle roster, the Scopes are led by Leo and Aries II in the front with their MB/Claw/Guard whirling death arrangement. Nice! Add to this their cohort of intimidating Pestigors of whom Capricorn is the standout. Over 1,000 paces rushing, most TDs for the team, and ST4! What a player!!

Chances: Well, as they don't appear to be in the group anymore (at the time of writing) I would have to say the chances are slim! But perhaps a new contender can get amongst it and destroy their opposition which they did when they won the last Heavyweight installment.

O[L]C Grand Prix V (Middleweight)
Current Champ: Undeadly Sins
Race: Undead

Well, we all know that Undead make for good league and tournament sides and the Sins were no exception. Gluttony and Wrath are the standouts in this well balanced side that poses a threat to each and every one of their opponents. And Wrath! What a DrPoods kinda player! Mighty Blow, Piling On, Frenzy! And of course, Tackle... No dodgy blighters are getting away from this avatar of destruction.

That being said, what can we say about the Sins? Coach eldritchfox led his team efficiently to the Middleweight crown dispatching Duro's miners in the final. If any coaches out there doubt their cred, the miners brought Zara and Flint Churnblade to the final yet it wasn't enough with the Sins taking a 2-1 victory.

O[L]C Grand Prix IV (Rookie)
Current Champ: Learning to Drive
Race: Dark Elf

Mmmmmm, Witch Elves...

Sorry. Where was I? Ah yes... Witch Elves... Mmmmmmm *ahem*

Anyway, Learning to Drive took out the previous edition of the championship over the Fapulous Fighters in a hell of a match. Even accounting for the death of Alonso, this was a worthy champion. Led by coach JimmyFantastic, the Elves proved too strong in some Dark Elf on Dark Elf action. Have I mentioned Witch Elves yet? *cough*

A team that has obviously suffered the ravages of time in currently running 5 journeymen, it remains to be seen if we will see them again. Still, one can only hope they get up and running and then we can see some cold-hearted, psychotic lovelies gracing the O[L]C pitches in the future.

So there you have it! A preview is yet to come but hopefully this has whetted the appetites of all you wavering coaches out there! You could have your team's name in lights as well. Impress, and the world is your oyster!

This has been DrPoods saying "Keep your gloves up, and come out snarling!"
