“GLT - Semifinals:
An epic clash of two experienced tournaments teams did not disappoint the fans with wild swings each way and dramatic wizards and LOTS of blood!

First half started off with wood elves receiving and they took control and even smashed Merry Poppins (apoth failed). However, the dwarves slowly removed elves - only KOs, but the elves numbers dwindled. The elves moved the ball forward as time slowly ticked away - and the dwarves took their shot - a fireball killed one catcher, the one wardancer was KOed, the other was knocked down and the ballcarrier was 2d blitzed...but even with pro, could not take down the ballcarrier - another catcher was killed - but ultimately the elves were able to 1d pow to escape from the jam and score. While the dwarves could not stop the elves, 2 catchers were dead and the KO box was filling up. Woodstock was ready to try a one turn TD, it likewise failed as we could not pickup the ball, but the mighty treeman was killed as we got the push to move Woodstock downfield.

Second half with 3 dead and 2 in the KO box, the wood elves were short players to defend with and they tried a 1d blitz on the ball, but that exposed their super wardancer and he was quickly removed - after that the elves gave up and just waited for OT. The dwarves were not kind and kicked mercilessly all half injuring two more elves in the process before scoring.

With two KO wakeup rolls, the elves got 5 of 6 back so were up to 8 players including their thrower and super wardancer. In addition, they won the toss - and things looked VERY grim for the dwarves....but BLITZ! and a short kick and the skink is under the ball, the super wardancer is blitzed and piled on. Things are looking great for the dwarves - but wardancer's armor holds and skink failed 3+ catch with RR and scatter makes it a touchback. The elves swing to move the other direction - and two turns later it looks like it is their game to win as their wardancer races downfield, the thrower moves to follow, but whooooops! trips dodging away from the skink. The elf coach rages and ignores the wizard. Glad to have avoided the lightning bolt, the skink grabs the ball and races into the endzone for the win!

An epic battle back and forth that was much fun to play. Thanks! Onto the finals to see if the underdog dwarves have enough strength to win one more!”
