Completed Blood Bowl: The End

[RK47]

Quarter Finals: Let's Bowl!

Spoiler

It's on folks! The anticipated quarter finals between the First Ladies and Knights of Codexia!

Both teams did not finish top of their group, so it'll be an exciting encounter as humans are facing dwarf team for the first time. The Ladies may not look fully developed - but they still pack decent block spams and AV9s. A good cage by this team would be very hard to crack. Knights tend to have poor records when facing bash team, so let's hope I can pull some good moves.

Pre-Game Meta: 270 TV - In regards to the 270 TV difference and the upcoming game vs Chaos Dwarf that is missing a Minotaur, I decided to do a player swap. Garm the 3 SPP Catchers (70 TV) is swapped out for a 0 SPP Lino (50 TV).

Hopefully, this will force the Ladies coach to make a tough decision between getting a merc minotaur or a 90 TV Star Player. Not both. But guess what? He didn't go for that pick at all. Instead, he went for a Wizard and a Bribe. o_O

If it was me, I'd take a player over Wizard. Wizard's too unreliable. Anyway, no big loss for us we need the extra ST3 presence. There's very little incentive in taking a AV7 ST2 Dodger in a game against Tackle-rich dwarf.

Oh god, this venue sucks. I can't see the game logs. Good luck.

Opening formation. I loss the coin toss and Ladies opted to receive. If my guess is correct, they'd probably grind a TD and then force an equalizer in 2nd half, then repeat the grind into over time. So I'm going to try to draw out that Wizard Scroll. (Yes, seriously. I am trying to draw it out early. It's that random factor.)

Kick off!

No bad weather. Hum.

As you can see, they're really going for the Bull Carrier setup. Sure Hands ST5 on the back, ready to pick the ball kicked at any flank. I went right, because the other bull is on the left.

Turn 1. LOS mash begins...

Hellraiser survived with a push.

LundB wasn't so lucky.

And off Eleanor goes-

Gets the ball. Starting that all too familiar march as Jasede's boyfriend gets clawed, but uninjured.

Brother None gets blitzed and fell down.

While the downed LundB gets stomped and stunned. I guess he likes it dirty.

End of Turn 1. Now ... let's see if he fires a Wizard scroll...

 

[RK47]

Turn 1 - Knights

Spoiler

Jasede's BF wakes up, no bonehead.

We need to cover both flanks, just in case. But I'm more concerned about locking down the left bull. I don't mind them scoring early.

Also, it's time to bring down some dwarf with Whitewolf's Mighty Blow.

Down, but not out.
More lock down on the left.

And I've got seconds to decide what to do.

I figure I should just 1 dice block for the hell of it.

OK, got a push. Not too bad.

It's pretty clear what they'd do next. The left lane is cut off, central is unattractive. The right is very open. Only a blitzer and a 2 SPP Thrower on the way. Let's see what they do next turn!

 

[RK47]

Cage Assault

Spoiler

Here comes the Bull.

They try a block on Whitewolf...

Only gets a push, Stand Firm nullifies it.

Ricky gets taken down. Now, Brother None is alone on the right.

They want him down, of course.

"Fucking shit coach," Brother None mumbled as he goes down to a stunty blitz. Turn over as the Chaos Dwarf's cage takes shape.

They're not using the Wizard scroll just yet. But now, it's our turn to assault the cage. Since Brother None & Ricky is unharmed, we can re-establish the tackle zone by just telling them to get up. While the rest of the Knights on the left can assault the cage from the left.

@whitewolf starts the assault with a take down against a dwarf blocker.

Xenomorph slams down the ST4 Bull Centaur, freeing his two comrades.

Assault starts now.

Hellraiser gets to the cage's edge with a go for it.

Could've blitz with Gondolin.

But decided to mark the other cage's edge instead.

Now time to fortify the center. eklektyk gets there to provide guard assist.

@Jaedar blitzed forward. Clearing a path for , who did not fail his boner to move ahead.

As the turn grows to a close, Angelo85 moves forward. And we can see how the situation has changed:

Knights are effectively competing for the ball. And not many dwarves can get a good block die. How will they break out?

 

[RK47]

Bring Down the Big One

Spoiler

Ladies' turn - they're going to burst down the right.

Brother None stunned.

ST5 Ball blitzes!

Gets a push on Riccitiello.

He's not pushing his go for it. Stops right there.

One of the skirmish goes bad for the ladies and they spend a team reroll, turning it into a push.

Ladies can't seem to deliver any knock-downs in this turn. Good for us.

Finally they got unlucky.

RR used. Down you go.

Time to assault the ball!

Gondolin drops a dwarf at the center. This is crucial to isolate the bull carrier. These stunties aren't going anywhere when they wake up.

Angelo85 moving in to mark the baller.

unleashes a punch that frees up Jaedar.

Eklektyk and Riccitello needs to get free, somehow. Guess I'll let Ricky take the chance...

Stupendous!

KO! What a turnaround!

@Hellraiser rushing back to provide additional assist.

Now eklektyk can let the 2d block rip...

Stuns! It's Jaedar time!

Reroll.

Good.

Ball's free. Let's get more people in there, LundB will have to dodge, without reroll.

Of course it worked.

What now, bitches?

 

[RK47]

Raging Boner

Spoiler

That dropped ball is going to be hard for the Ladies to pick up.

Doesn't mean they won't try. Hobos are pushing forward. But as long as the majority of his dwarves are tied down in the left, they can't really break out effectively.

Whitewolf gets punched down.

Now they're moving to the right.

A hobgoblin blitzing is probably signs of desperation.

Takes down Jaedar.

Tries to hamper pick up.

The other bull centaur can't seem to get things done vs Xenomorph.

Only a meaningless push as their turn comes into a close. The ball is marked by a single hobgoblin.

An invitation we cannot refuse.

Jaedar clears the pick up zone.

Hellraiser is making sure the rest of the Ladies are staying away from the ball.

Ricky now can get in there, and pick it.

Takes the ball to safety. There's no receiver on the opposite side of the field. Azira is on the sideline while kicking to get more ST3s on the field.

Good stuff from Jasede's boyfriend, stunning blow.

Knights in cruise control as eklektyk finishes the turn with a stunning block.

 

[RK47]

Careless Whisper

Spoiler

Seeing no other options, the Bull blitzes, pushing Lund to the edge before moving on.

Ok stop right there.

FFS. STOP IN THE NAME OF HUMANITY!

Jesus. He just got up from being knocked down too!

LundB gets pushed into the crowd, who beats the shit out of his pretty rich white boy face, knocking him out as the turn ends.

Shit. I don't like this. I mean, dodging Jaedar out doesn't mean anything. What I need is a receiver on the other end to get the ball to safety.

I decided Jasede's boyfriend should free Gondolin, he's been OK so far.

Me and my big mouth. Reroll.

Shit cock fuck as Nixon's bitch dodges out and blitzes...

ONLY GETS A PUSH!

But the bull is too strong for Ricky to contain. He fell down and dropped the ball.

Elsewhere, XenomorphII and Whitewolf's luck has run out.

@Gondolin too is KO'ed. Knights losing control of the match all the sudden!

Eklektyk down. Stunned. FFS.

Oh, thank god. Hellraiser still has that troll card...

Nope. Team Reroll and takes Hellraiser down as well.

Very. Very bad.

It's ok. Me can fix this.

Chill. One dodge, pick up, and a throw to Brother None, and we're home free.

I got a team reroll. Don't worry. *clicks*

 

[RK47]

最大ドライブペニス

Spoiler

Two turns to half time. 1-0 Down. We can do this.

Azira is right at the heart of our offense. Everything is down to him.

Kick off!

Good weather. Let's go!

Ball's within range.

LOS Clearance. Bash Bash Bash!

Whitewolf nearly got into trouble.

Luckily the second frenzy resulting in a both down.

Jasede's boyfriend to mark the bull and two other Ladies. More Knights to the right!

Ball scooped, this is it folks!

 

[RK47]

Azira's Most Epic Moment of the Season

Ladies' turn, they get a knockdown on Whitewolf, freeing Hobgoblin...

And...here...we...goo......

 

[Whitewolf]

that last GFI was a real shame.

 

[rashiakas]

 

[Azira]

Bwahaha. Ohyes, how I recognize that. GFI rolls, oh how I hate thee..

 

[Darth Roxor]

desocupado would have something to say about GFIs

 

[RK47]

One of these kids don't belong with the others...

Spoiler

1-0 down, still 8 turns. But if we score, they might wanna grind that overtime winner. We need to score real early.

The previous drive setup seems to work. So we're going to try again.

Oh, hey, what's Garm doing here?

Get in play, loser.

Looks good. We're obviously going right.

Kick off! And...

Oh boy.

Roughly equal. Lost Hellraiser and Riccitiello for a round.

Xeno can still reach the ball, no worries.

No reason to slow down, Azira going all the way in.

The whole knights basically just abandoning the three LoS on the center and slipping through the right.

Xeno picks up the ball with no problem.

Jaedar with the blitz on ST5 Bull Centaur!

Down, but not out.

And...

Dodges out!

As the turn ends, I finally realized one horrible truth about mathematics.

 

[Azira]

How's that possible? I've never had that bug, but who's complaining?

 

[RK47]

Korewa Buradobowru

Spoiler

ST4 Bull blitzes, taking down Jasede's Boyfriend.

Parks himself next to Brother None once he's finished.

Hobos moving forward, trying to get to Xenos. But nah, we're safe. The bulls can't reach us.

Brother None gets taken down and cursed the Coach's name again.

They're pretty much unable to mark Azira, our receiver. Also, they're probably hoping Xeno will fuck up a throw. Turn over.

With this big guy having a boner, our option is limited.

A 2d block for Whitewolf almost goes horribly wrong as he settled for Push-Skull result twice in a row.

Fuck this, time for the Xeno Express.

Shove your fairplay up your ass!

No GFI this time, Azira, try not to fuck this up.

Good. Now the real fight begins.

 

[Darth Roxor]

How's that possible? I've never had that bug, but who's complaining?

Happened to me a few times. It's really nasty, and can both take out a random player from the 11 as well as get another one in.

 

[RK47]

See it's FAIR!

 

[Azira]

Good thing they burned the scroll already.

 

[RK47]

The Decisive Drive

Spoiler

Boy, that drive formation was so good, it's like we're playing with a 12th man behind our back.
Nah, it's gotta be the crowd. They're on our side.

They're setting up differently this time. Still, they want the ball to go to the ST5 Bull. We're not going to give it freely this time.

Short kick.

See? What did I tell ya?! The 12th Man!

The path to the ball is clear!

LOS Smash claims Garm's feet.

LundB drops as well. Stunned.

Here comes the problem... ST5 succeeds on pick up...

Backs out with Sure Feet...he's scared.

Cage himself with two hobos.

Tries to take down Jasede's BF, but gets skulled. RR and succeeded.

No injury though...

They even stomped him. The bastards. No ref, no injury.

Turn over.

 

[RK47]

Cage the Beast

Spoiler

Path cleared, we don't even need to be subtle.

Clear his cage, and replace it with ours.

Stuns.

Plug that guy up good and just wait till he trips. He can't escape. He doesn't have break tackle.

As long we keep the dwarves away from the important play, we have the advantage.

Look at that. All six dwarves out of the action. Turn over. Lookin' good.

Angelo gets smashed. No injury.

They got Jasede's BF, he's stunned.

The ST5 Ball Carrier tries to break away by blitzing Whitewolf on the isolated edge - but he forgot about Stand Firm. That blitz isn't going anywhere.

Frustrated, he throws more one dice blocks..

Pay the price. Reroll ...and ...

 

[RK47]

Bloodily Beaten

Spoiler

Let's bring down this bull, score and go home.

This ST4 Bull without block is just not gonna be able to stop Xenomorph and Guard combos.

Down you go.

Whitewolf is gonna need an assist to clear that hobo from the melee. We need at least 1d block on the ST5 Ball carrier.

eklektyk arrives just in time.

Bah. Reroll.

Finally, first casualty of the game.

Steps back into the St5 tackle zone. Gondolin can now use his 1d block!

Only gets a push though.

Jaedar takes down another bull cage's edge and takes over that position. No way this big guy can escape us.

Azira approach the downed ST4 bull next to Ricky.

One good stomp and it's stunned. Turn over!

 

[Jaedar]

Lookin' good

 

[RK47]

Bull-kakke

Spoiler

Try as they might, the Ladies just can't break the Knight's line.

The only meaningful take down is probably a lino or two.

The ST5 Ball carrier tries again to break out of the cage, but fails.

All he does is move one tile a turn. Turn over.

Whitewolf, clearing the path!

Pushed! AGAIN!

YET ANOTHER PUSH!

No probs. Plug more cage corners, get that block dice going.

Smack away the nearby dwarves.

tadaaaa!

Smack! Drops the ball~!

Jasede's BF gets up for additional tacklezone.

Jaedar will now free Ricky for a pick up.

Xeno as well, clearing the path. Take downs are plenty vs non-block Hobos.

Azira runs free, now he can wait for the ball.

Ricky will walk over n pick up at -1. Basically he's rolling for the same number as that Bull Carrier.

And fails.

 

[RK47]

Finishing blow

Spoiler

Stop playing around... let's get this over.

Your resistance only makes my cock harder.

Ricky gets taken down! See? The moment the dwarves are involved, blocks goes to the Ladies' way.

Not even Gondolin can stay on his feet. Goddamn, that frees the ST5 Carrier!

He tries for the ball!

ABOUT FUCKING TIME!

No fucking problem.

eklektyk providing guard assist.

Gondolin, waking up to blitz!

All according to plan.

Ball's free, nothing left to do but to...

.. get the ball!

Oh shit. Two Go-For-Its...

Makes the first, going for the second...
Anddddd....

Pizza is here. Hold that update.

 

[Dead Guy]

DO IT!
