9th Old World Challenge Cup
Athel Loren BBoDT vs Barak Varr Goldlords
Sunday 31st May, 22.00 Server Time

The Old World Challenge Cup is proud to announce that its ninth Final will be held this Sunday, between the Barak Varr Goldlords and Athel Loren BBoDT. It is guaranteed to be an historic occasion, whatever the result.

If Athel Loren BBoDT win on Sunday, they will become the first elven team to win the prestigious Cup, and the first ever team in the history of the league to win every game in an entire season.

If the Barak Varr Goldlords win, it will be for a record third time. At the moment, they hold the joint record with the Nilfheim Lumberjacks (with two wins each), and this is their chance to cement their place as the most successful team ever to play in the OWCC.

During the regular season, Athel Loren won the Bretonnia Conference, with the Goldlords finishing as runners up. That favours BBoDT: 7 out of 8 of the last cup finals have been won by a team that won their Conference. However, the only team to ever win the OWCC after not winning their Conference was - you guessed it - the Barak Varr Goldlords, back in Season III.

These two teams have played each other twice before: the first time, the Goldlords won 2-1; the second time (earlier this season), Athel Loren won 3-1.

Both teams are evenly matched, and this one is impossible to call. You'll have to watch for yourselves to find out who will make history this Sunday!
