Hello and welcome to The Daily Neopets' Daily Report of the Altador Games. I'm Miko, now live at the Yooyuball Stadium. The shocks and sweeps continues today, so let's cut straight to the chase.

Tyrannia on a StreakThe Alabriss Bracket started, continued and ended with sweeps. The Tyrannian Fossils utterly crushed the Darigan Citadel Minions with a total shutout on all four games with mostly 3-point differences. The Fossils are currently the only team that hasn't dropped a game in the entire tournament, and they are ready to go the whole six yards to get a flawless victory this round. The Virtupets Robots easily out maneuvered the Shenkuu Ninjas to get the win; the fan favorite Ninjas seems to be unable to get their pace right. And in the last match, Mystery Island finally got back into the groove as they swept the Lost Desert Mummies. Unfortunately, the Natives are up against the Fossils in the last match of Round 1, so their winning rhythm may come to a halt. Unless we have an upset.

The Minitheus bracket had more ups and down though! Defending champs Kiko Lake swung back into the fight after Faerieland's surprise win against them. The Krawk Island Pirates, who until then had enjoyed a winning streak, were trampled under by the vengeful Kikos, just manage to seek out a win in Shootout Showdown. And speaking of Faerieland, the team was not able to get a repeat of yesterday's miracle as the Altador Suns burned them to a crisp.

Zombies WinToday's surprise came in the form of the rock-bottom Haunted Woods, who finally won a game. Unfortunately for them it may have been too little too late as the Zombies, barring a total steamroll of Faerieland, are guaranteed to be in last place in the bracket. The win did, however, reinstate life into Zombie fans who had been as dead as their namesakes before.

Vaeolus Bracket was more predictable though. Maraqua, after the surprise slump yesterday, were back in form as the Rooligans were swamped under in all four games. They still are the fan-favorites to take the cup, despite the unstoppable bulldozer called Tyrannia. Magic overcame might as the Brightvale Wizards rode the enthusiasm from yesterday's win to secure a victory over the Meridell Knights. This underdog team is still full of surprises and large wins are expected from them in the future.

On a RollOne team that is REALLY desperate for a large win though is Terror Mountain. After being crushed by Maraqua, they seemed to have been snowed under as they lost match after match. They finally edged out Kreludor to get their very first win in Slushie Slingers but the Chillers lost the match in the end and are now officially in last place after Haunted Woods' surprise win.

OmeletteAnd that's all the matches for today. See you tomorrow for the finals of Round 1 of the Altador Cup, where I will have the first week's standings and my thoughts on the teams. Until then, this has been Miko for The Daily Neopets. Good night Neopia! And if you'll excuse me, I have an omelette special to go to.
