“The Hellfishes are a strange team. At full roster they get hammered and outplayed. When they suffer critical retirements or fatalities and they look into the abyss, tho, they find unsuspected resources and they rise from their ashes with unexpected might and bravery.

Having lost two more blitzers due to ageing and niggling injuries on the pitch, the ten remaining players faced the full roster of the Specularum Lords. The odds were against them, but having lost many fans lately the Hellfishes felt they had to prove their spirit to make it to the newspapers again.

First half saw the Hallfishes score the first TD of the match, killing an inexperienced lino and badly hurting another. The TD quickly tied by a very nice action by the DukeTyrion Boys, and the following attack was stopped with a very nice defensive action, so the half ended 1-1.

The Lords scored again for the lead (2-1) early in the second half, but the Hellfishes (after kiling another lino and badly hurting a catcher) succeded in scoring the tie in turn 6 second half.

The crowd was impatient... they wanted to see the brilliant defensive plan by coach Mattys... but hey! A blitz occurs just after the kick! The highly experienced thrower of the Lords cannot get rid of the ball, and soon enough the Hellfishes surround him, take the ball and score for a fantastic 3-2.
The fans did appreciate. Will this happen again? =)

Notes:

1- DukeTyrion is a skilled coach a quick player and most of all a nice guy who can laugh at his own players deaths. I'll add you to my "coaches I'd play anytime" list, Duke.

2- Alberto "Schumi" Girotti left his mark in this match, inflicting two more casualties and reaching 110 spps. He now is:
7th active human blitzer in ranked with 110 spps
1st most valuable human blitzer in ranked with 9 MVPs
8th greatest active blocker among human blitzers in ranked, with 27 casualties.”
