“Fumbbl Tour TR150 final

Tight game marred by connection issues. The ref also punished almost every foul, with four players being sent off during the game.

Relezite came out with an empty bench, but plenty of skills spread amongst his players. In contrast, the Chaos were big in number, but short on a cutting edge.

Excellent first half came down to some great moves from the humans to recoup a lost ball and then dash for space. The chaos team's hired wizard lined up to throw a lightning bolt, only for the chaos team coach to realise he'd been conned. The wizard's best efforts managed a limited light show - a crowd pleaser, but nothing strong enough to knock the ball carrier down.

Groans of dismay ran through the ranks of the chaos team.

However, a brutal half-time talk saw the chaos team come out determined to grind out a win. It went to overtime after Vox Deus carried the ball in the endzone in the dying seconds of the game. The Mean Hay Whackers made it a tough end to normal time, however, after knocking the ball loose with scant seconds on the clock.

With Vox Deus receiving in OT, it looked like the Whackers were up against it. Things looked worse when the humans lost two players in quick succession. However, despite only 7 players remaining, the Whackers forced the chaos team to score early.

With four turns left on the clock, the Whackers had a shot at tying the game and going to a coin-toss for the win. But fate played a hand, with a failed block leaving the humans with no players close enough to score at the finish.

Vox take their first tournament win, and many sacrifices will be made to thank the Gods. ”
