Hello dear readers of the Xiphoid Flare Daily. Today, I've some important info to announce and some interesting info to share.




SUMMER SHINE TEAM CIRCUIT RESULT

First of all, I'd like to thank Kurai for hosting such an event, and as I said, I support these events 100%, as I'm annoyed by people who want me to host everything, as it's impossible. Secondly, I am proud to announce that one of the Xiphoid Flare teams has won the Circuit. Team Chevalier, consisted of MaX, Yeager and myself has had a great run with 11 out of 12 total match victories. Splendid result! The prize we've acquired from Kurai himself is in the skype group, so be sure to check it out (member only). The 2nd team didn't do as well, since Damba missrode badly and Saggi after him had a terrible streak of luck which resulted in 3-0, as the other members didn't show up due to approved absence. I shall now do a brief report of our rounds:


Team Chevalier
- Devour (Shadow Paladin)
- MaX (Royal Paladin)
- Yeager (Gold Paladin)


[Round 1]
- Our first round was very easy as we fought a non existing opponent, thusly, 3-0 going to the record book.
[Round 2]
- Respectably I can say that this has been the toughest round for us as we fought one of the best teams in the tournament, by my opinion. We fought against Divine Souls' Main team which included NovaRaizer (Gold Paladin) himself, Doryan (Narukami) and Callum (Dimensional Police). We studied our opponents before the round, concluding the best way to take them out. Final result was 2-1.
[Round 3]
- This was a very clean round. Honestly, I was worried about my preformance with Witches in this match, as we did a further inspection into our opponents and we've found a flaw in our plan, which was my match-up, the Revengers. It turned out to be quite well, since we ended the round 3-0 in our favour. The participants on Team Blue Sorciere's side were Zane Sorciere (Shadow Paladin), Asaka Sorciere (Genesis) and [DS] Skyzlimitz (Narukami).
[Round 4]
- This is it. The final match. Team Susano'o that honestly surprised me to come this far as it was consisted of your everday troll Zeox, Kaze the lazy "mod" and Thunder (i don't know who it is, but he was there). Anywho, Kaze (Gold Paladin) fought against Devour, that'd be me, and it was probably one of the longest matches ever as I missrode 3 turns, went back up to lead and bring both near deckout. Kaze decided to Cron it and lead himself to a DC and a DQ. The match was good, but the last card I got determined it all, so even without the DC, I'd have prevailed. Thunder (Narukami) went against the force that must not be awakened, Yeager, who easly brought the victory home. Zeox (Royal Paladin) decided to take on Max, the one and only Paladin who stripped him off his pride, bringing yet another victory for the Chevaliers, thusly ending the finals 3-0.

Conclusion: Team Chevalier prevails in the war and takes the prize to their fiery lands with only 1 lost cardfgiht in the entire tournament. Commendable!

TEAM BATTLE REPORT

Team Battle against Team Irregulars [T-IRR] - [16. 7. 2014.]


Team Xiphoid Flare:
- Sayla
- Penguin
- Kasuna
- FrozenFang
- Destiny
- MaXtreme


Team Irregulars:
- Silas
- Raze
- Tippy67
- Laxus
- Solar
- MT (?)



[XF] Sayla vs. [T-IRR] Silas - [0:1]

- The round was going in Sayla's favour when the server chrshed. In their 2nd clash Sayla's Kagero has been a trouble for her, having terrible luck with it while the opponent kept his luck as his strong side, thusly putting Irregular in the lead.


[XF] Penguin vs. [T-IRR] Silas - [0:2]

- Another sackage by Silas where Penguin got little to no usable triggers, and most importantly was grade locked at G0 for 2 turns which gave Silas and his Celestials yet another victory.


[XF] Kasuna vs. [T-IRR] Silas - [1:2]

- Gold Paldins take on Celestials as Kasuna easily gets the first win for Xiphoid Flare, leaving Silas and Irregulars with their first loss.


[XF] Kasuna vs. [T-IRR] Raze - [2:2]

- I'd love to say that this was a start of interesting matches but I'd be lying. Honestly, there's little to no sense to even say anything other than Kasuna crushes Raze and his Seekers while she was still on G2 bringing Xiphoid Flare a tie.


[XF] Kasuna vs. [T-IRR] Tippy67 - [3:2]

- Another overwhelmingly offensive play by Kasuna that brought Genovious and Tippy to their knees, turning the score around and bringing hope for Xiphoid Flare. Bravo.


[XF] Kasuna vs. [T-IRR] Laxus - [3:3]

- This is getting extremely boring to write, as this entire team battle was either played perfectly or people got sacked. It's up to you to determine who got double crited here, folks. Tie for Irregulars.


[XF] WaiterFang vs. [T-IRR] Laxus - [3:4]

- I've to say, from what I've heard, Fang made some mistakes. Now, I'll be checking that as soon as possible to fix those mistakes, but anyways, with mistakes made, and once again, luck on one's side, Irregulars turn the lead with Laxus at the front.


[XF] Destiny vs. [T-IRR] Laxus - [4:4]

- Des finaly gets his, uhm, how do I say it, chocolate-chip-cookie-like mass together in team battles and destroys Laxus with ease. Welcome home, Des!


[XF] Destiny vs. [T-IRR] MT (?) - [5:4]

- I really wonder why are you still reading this as it's obvious what happened and I'm obviously very bored and annoyed for having to do this even though I wasn't there, but anyways. Des wins against the guy who's name I don't think I wrote correctly, but eh. Chocolate-chip-cookie-like mass happens.


[XF] Destiny vs. [T-IRR] Solar - [6:4]

- Would you look at that, another win, same way as every other battle in this team battle, as I said, it's either magnificent play on one side or a spazzle-badazzle "Mom I'm super lucky" on the other side. Anyways, Destiny brings the final victory into m-.....uhh, I mean, Xiphoid Flare's hands thusly ending this team battle with 2 outstanding scores of 3-1 and 3-0. Congratulations!


FINAL RESULT: Team Xiphoid Flare is Victorious [6:4]



Now, for finishers, I'd like to apologize for anyone that's had to read this, since you probably feel 60% stupider than you were (don't worry, I do too) since this was very, very boring and painful to type out. Most likely because I wasn't present. Anyways, I'd like to thank Team Irregulars for fighting us and I wish them even more luck in the next Team Battles. As for my teammates, you did well. I understand some of you may feel dissapointed, but there's no need to. If the team wins, we all win. Be it one person or the entire squad. We're all winners here, and we'll all do better in the future. Remember, if your heart isn't quivering, and your soul isn't trembling, you can do it with the clearness and calmness of your mind. We must only look skyward! That's where our journey begins!
