“(Commentary by AutoAxpert & Calthor
We will now rerun today's Youngblood IV Gran Finale between the Doom Glade Demons and Eye and Arrow, with the live commentary from Jim Johnson and Bob Bifford

JIM: "This is CabalVision Crunch Zone, close to the action at the final match of the Youngbloods IV tournament! And will you look at that?! Dead elf on the pitch!"
BOB: "I haven't seen this much elf on elf brutality since the Witch King declared a civil war in Ulthuan, Jim. Clearly Youngblood actually means bad blood"
JIM: ""Did you see that tackle, Bob? That limb went flying through the air! Nobody recovers from that... Unless you can regenerate! Seems like the Doom Glade Demons have taken control of this drive, after that messy situation. Those fans are chanting, just hear that! I'm guessing it's going to be a wild night in Doom Glade if this continues..."
BOB: "The Handmaiden are right on Darkstar's tail, though. I think it's now or never, Jim"
JIM: "That apothecary was just in the nick of time, or that would have been a possible early retirement for Sister Lydia! You'd almost think those Demons are a bit mean spirited..."
BOB: "The Demons score! That was a veritable rollercoaster of emotions, but Doom Glade took the most out of it and has now both score and field advantage. Now Eye and Arrow has to get one fast to keep this game close!"
JIM: "The pressure is on! But this is the kind of heat in which Avelorn Handmaidens are born, right Bob..? Er, I mean..."
BOB: "The Demons move fast to blitz the ball! You'd think they spiked their drinks with something from a Blood Cauldron, Jim. This team is on fire!"
JIM: "That Stormcrow is too eager though, and tripped on some debris thrown onto the pitch!...Black eye to Blackmoon! What a punch!"
BOB: "And now the momentum shifts again! The Sisters set up a screen, as the Demons defense is set reeling! I think we've seen all for today by Blackmoon, Jim!"
JIM: "But Bob, look at the clock! The Sisters of Avelorn need to speed this up, or they'll be too late to make it to the end zone!"
BOB: "Bloodflame neutralizes the Sisters deep threat for now, as his teammates set up a deep cover. The Demons are well entrenched in their half of the field, Eye and Arrow desperately need a break!"
JIM: "Eye and Arrow is moving to the other side of the field. It's not like they had other realistic options here, Bob!"
BOB: ""It might be just enough though, Jim. The Demons secondary looks out of position... but Doom Glade scores another casualty, as Ashila is down for the count!"
JIM: "Demonheart running to Erato, standing right next to her, looking her in the eye. That's a confrontation she doesn't need right now..."
BOB: "This might be the turning point of the game, Jim"
JIM: "And the fans know it, Bob. Everyone is on their seat, eyes on the pitch! Well, almost everyone... Strategic shove to Demonheart. Just what was needed!"
BOB: "Erato has now the path wide open... she sprints to the end zone! Touchdown Eye and Arrow!"
JIM: "Just moments away from half-time, Bob! I am sure looking forward for a nice bite of Khorne Crisps, Bob, and see how this will go in the second half."
BOB: "Khorne Crisps, part of a healthy and balanced half-time snack! The Demons are not pleased, Jim. That was a blatant head kick by Cirgil Elvenslayer, but the referee seems to think otherwise."
JIM: "Coleshá seems to have her wits about her once more, and is ready to go again!"
BOB: "The Demons start back where they left off, Ariel looks positively beaten up and is carried away from the field! Arya too doesn't look like getting up any time soon!"
JIM: "Doom Glade is starting off this drive excellently indeed, Bob. Just look at those vile, grinning faces! Last time I saw that, I was visiting my mother-in-law!"
BOB: "The Sisters seem to have other plans, though, and just refuse to face a physical challenge, getting away from the spirited Dark Elves!"
JIM: "There's no getting away from a foul like that though, Bob!"
BOB: "I haven't seen such a liberal disregard of the rules of sportsmanship since I blackmailed my way to my last contract, Jim!"
JIM: "There's a numbers advantage of two men in favor of the Doom Glade Demons now, Bob, but let's not forget that Eye and Arrow only need a draw to win this tournament. They will need to solidify a bit more than this though, or they will fall apart like Nurgle's Favourite Jelly!"
BOB: "Yeah, about that, I might need a couple of minutes Jim"
JIM: "A hand-off to Stormcrow, and the Demons move forward a bit, carefully plotting their way - and possibly looking to seal the deal late in this match!... Oof, a tackle brings down Coleshá. Does this mean the Demons are going to make a break for it soon? Eye and Arrow feeling the difference in the numbers - they are getting mostly surrounded! It feels just like that party after the Poshgit's Daredevils match we called recently...Erato spots a possible opening, and she's blitzing, and trying to reach Stormcrow from the back... But Demonheart flies in for the tackle! And that brings the mood down for the Avelorn fans like a garlic-scented stake at a vampire bachelor party."
BOB: "Meanwhile, the fans from Naggaroth are chanting the blitzers name! Just hear them go, Jim!"
JIM: "Daaaaarkstaaaar.... Daaaarkstaaar....Hypnotic little tune for a dark elf chant, right Bob?"
BOB: "Right, Jim. This crowd is carrying their idols to a great result!"
JIM: "Aluna goes down! The Demons have got the Sisters right in a vice grip here, and it looks like things are almost settled and done. The crowd knows it too!"
BOB: "Dominant, physical second half for Doom Glade. The Sisters lost their footing early in the drive and never managed to recover it."
JIM: "It was a classical dark elf grind in the second half, one straight out of the quintessential Naggaroth playbook. I am sure Eye and Arrow are already looking forward to the rematch upcoming spring, Bob!"
BOB: "As the lone representatives for Ulthuan this summer I can say that they can be proud of their effort, but I'm sure they won't be happy of the result! With this few players, and the time running out so fast, Eye and Arrow need a real miracle to tie the game in the dying stages, Jim!"
JIM: "Today is not a day for miracles, Bob."
BOB: "Yeah, the Sisters take out their frustration on the unlucky elves on the line of scrimmage. Doom Glade wins it and takes the Youngblood Trophy home!"
JIM: "That's the final whistle indeed. Seems to me like Darkstar was the man of this match, Bob."
BOB: "Glacial look between the coaches as they shake hands, knowing full well that they will face again in Spring next year. That was a phenomenal performance by Caphalor, a big reason why the Demons came on top!"
JIM: "This has been Crunch Zone, bring you a live match commentary, right close to the action. Thank you all for listening and spectating. I've been Bob, that's Jim, and remember to tune in to CabalVision."
BOB: "Wait, am I Jim or Bob, Jim?"
JIM: "Er... Jimbob, Bobjim. You know I get confused in these situations."
