“In the third round of the OBBA league one, PSV Enthoven faced a team that was long deemed lost. Royal Valhalladolik, last seen in OBBA season 8. When the Royal Valhalladolik entered the pitch the crowd immediately went silent, and then started sharing memories of the ancient past, of their glorious League Two championship with TD? +9 and CAS? +16. But... The Elves and Ents of PSV Enthoven did not fear the frenzy berserkers at all... "We have our own Frenzy Berserker! We've got Van Nistelrooij!", they shouted.
PSV kicked off for the first half. In their first turn, Royal Valhalladolik KO'ed two elves, managed to block the tree prone, and built a very secure cage around their AG4 blodge ball carrier. The PSV players became somewhat less self-confident... But the subsequent PSV turn, Mateja Kezman, the recently contracted rookie catcher, managed to bring back the morale of the team by killing Pedro Lopez, the AG4 berserker of Valhalladolik. Unfortunately for PSV the apo managed to patch up Pedro.
In turn 2, the tree went down again and the norse cage advanced several squares. But in our subsequent turn, star players Ruud van Nistelrooij and Luc Nilis showed why they get paid the highest salary in the team. Nilis darelessly leaped right into the middle of the Mighty Blow spammed norse cage. Van Nistelrooij followed him, blitzed the ball loose, dodged away, picked up the ball in a tackle zone and escaped in one piece. In the next turn he sprinted towards the end-zone and scored a lightning quick 1-0. This is the why the spectators keep going to the stadium every week!!!
The remainder of the 2nd half Valhalladolid tried to break through the elvish wall but it didn't look very dangerous. The PSV players became sloppy and expected to go into half time with 1-0. But... some very nice gallery play from the norsemen, involving a dodge and a pass, brought back the excitement in the game. Even after Van Nistelrooij floored the ball carrier, the freshly patched up Pedro Lopez picked up the ball, handed it off to the simple lineman Luis Prieto who managed to score in turn 8! 1-1! The viking crowed cheered! What a nice play! This is the why the spectators keep going to the stadium every week!!!
The 2nd half offensive drive from PSV looked very solid in the beginning. The treeman was very mobile and could continuously defend the cage corner and advance through the field. But, the norse put up the pressure and started to remove several elves off the pitch. They even fouled MA9 one turn scoring threat Hans van Breukelen to death, but the apo managed to patch him up. After a few turns, 4 elves were out and the cage was surrounded by norsemen. Stalling was no longer an option. Van Nistelrooij cleared the path and the rookie catcher Kezman, who already caused a death, now also dodged out of the cage and scored a touchdown. 2-1!
The norsemen had 3 turns to react with an 11 to 8 numerical advantage. After smashing the hip of Jan Heintze by a good foul, and after Van Nistelrooij KO'd himself from a double skull block the situation started to look grim for PSV. 11 to 5 numerical advantage for Valhalladolid and 2 turn to go. In the last turn, AG4 blodger Victor needed to do a handoff to allow Marcos to score. The crowd started shouting and stomping. Marcos hád to score. It was an open target. But alas. Marcos proved to be very susceptible to the pressure that the crowd and team mates, and last but not least himself, put on him. He started sweating and dropped the ball even with team reroll.
So Nuffle saved the day again and the game ended in 2-1 victory for PSV.”
