“This week's top match saw two unbeaten and to Karaz Angkor foreign teams, the Karaz Highland Raiders and Karaz Angkor Immigrants. The Immigrants, victorious in their last two matches, had payed the price and were down in numbers, depending on unexperienced mercenaries for support.
In view of this, the Raiders went optimistically into the match. And were surprised by the strong defense. Expect one early casualty, the Immigrants showed remarkable resistance towards all forms of violence applied the Raiders, and repeatedly broke into the cage to base the Orc ball carrier. A final attempt to break away was cancelled by the Humans, and the Orcs were lucky that the last minute counter move failed when Mercenary Catcher One refused to pickup the ball.
Things then turned in second half. The Immigrants, eager to score quickly, pushed forward, but were soon stopped by a massive green wall. In a dramatic twist, the Raider managed to crowd surf one Immigrant and knock out another one. Even worse, Hildebrand De Palma, sent by Quarterback Hayden Taron on the far right, succumbed to the pressure and fumbled the catch. The Raiders did not let that chance pass, hit Hayden heavily on the head and secured the ball. Hildebrand's desperate try to make good for his mistake failed, when he tripped in the last seconds of the game to prevent Lorgor Heartripper from scoring. ”
“"Our defense was good but our attack was terrible. We should have stay on the orcs instead of letting them to build a wall. Even worse, we let one of ours get pushed to the crowd. After we tried to switch side, Hildebrand positioned himself next to the sideline which forced Hayden to try to pass and protect him aswell, and to pass next from a black orc. Hildebrand saw his mistake and the fear made him do another one: He failed the catch. Even worse, we would need another risky block to put someone onto the best black orc. The rest was pain.
The orcs were strong and motivated and they get the first place in the tourney. Hard to admit but they deserved it. However I will do my best to inject strength into the veins of my pussies after this lost match!"
