Well, the Hackers’ thirteenth match couldn’t have gone much worse, really. After a string of uplifting wins, the elves were already celebrating their next as they skipped gaily out onto the pitch. After all, the orcs were slow, clumsy and extremely dim-witted. What would they know about the art and finesse that is Blood Bowl?
As it turns out, they didn’t need to know anything. Wary of the Hackers’ recent good form, they felt it appropriate to mobilize a small army of mercenaries to grind their opponents into the dirt instead. Even the mighty Varag Goul-Chewer had been persuaded to march beneath their banner.
The result was a veritable elf-hammering, leading to the death of Tarquin Bluebell and the near-crippling of Wardancer Stark-Elm the Reckless.
And that’s not even mentioning the maniac with the chainsaw who was running around!
Even worse, it was that same maniac with a chainsaw who scored the Broken Tooth Boyz’ first touchdown. Despite being sent off immediately after the drive for his blatant breaking of the rules, the referee was convinced by several of the larger orcs (and said chainsaw) that it would be in his best interests to let the touchdown stand...
Most of the Hackers decided rather early on in the game that it would probably be best to stay in the dug-out for the rest of the match, leaving scant few to attack or defend. Under the circumstances, perhaps they should feel glad that they were only beaten by two touchdowns.
As their final matches approach, it looks unlikely that the Hackers will rise above, or stay in, their second place position in the league – and with thirteen matches to go for the Broken Tooth Boyz, they are well and truly on their way to greatness...
