Off (Permanently): Takk the Orcabreathed, Ravv (due to fatalities), Novv, Irzz (due to crippling injuries). Novv being the most valuable of the lot. One of the most experienced players in the league league, but not the Stormer's top scorer.
On: Jaxx the Irontailed, Fohh and Gavv.
Self Inflicted start the match with a good 80k of inducements despite the rapid restructuring of the Stormers' side, and that buys agility drugs that work well enough for Lee Young-Ho. The Stormers win the toss and elect to receive, and line up in their tried-and-tested lineup. The fans cheer for the Stormers as the ball goes high, and Vorr opens proceedings with badly injuring Park Jung-Suk after a moment of uncertainty. Tyrr recovers the ball and hefts it the short distance to Garr, who wastes no time in trying to secure an early lead. Kim Taek-Yung heads off the skink with a sprint, but Son Chan-Woong fails to slip from the claws of Weyy and is brought down with a heavy thump. Without wasting time, Vorr shoves him out of the way for Garr to plant the ball in the endzone and put the Stormers 1-0 up.
For the next drive, the vampire side line up in Mostly-Full-Frontal-Brutality, the superpowered Thrall Lee Yung-Ho front and centre. once more the fans cheer for the Stormers and they find their confidence bolstered. Most of the Stormers go down fast under the weight of thrall muscle, as Baek recovers easily. The Stormers spend time recovering, doing little in way of trying to drive back the mob of undead. As the skinks shift around and the vampires capitalise on the lack of play, Baek hands off to Lee Yoon-Yeol, star player for the vampiric side. The rest of the thralls focus on using overwhelming numbers to bring down the scattered saurusses, but the melee forming in the middle soon starts to break apart as Jarr gets knocked out. Lee hands off to Ku Sung-Hoon after he leaps over a thrall, and Nirr fails to lip away from a solitary thrall to put pressure on the ball-carrying pair.
With the opening, the vampires form up in a box and head downfield with little resistance, although a good number of skinks move to converge on their position, with Rexx taking some wind out of their sales with a stiff tackle, but it does no good - the agile Ku slips away and jumps over the skink defensive line to plant the ball and equalise.
While Son doesn't get up, Jarr does, and the skinks still have their full complement of muscle as they get ready for the kickoff. The ball goes high, and Tyrr is able to slip under the ball to catch it with practiced ease for someone of his stature. The skinks get off to a strong start with a pair of KOs for the vampire side, although Garr repeats his earlier performance by surging upfield once the way was cleared. This time, sterioded-out Lee smacks Garr to the floor and lets Ku recover, who hurls a long-bomb to Lee on the other side of the pitch perfectly. Although the Stormers get a lot of bodies to the area, it's not enough, although the cocky Lee fails to slip away from Mejj, preventing him from scoring.
Not one of the unconscious vampire side decides to wake up, while the unconscious Tyrr scrambles back up and onto the field. The vampires set up heavy on the right side of the field, and Tyrr's wayward kick leads to a touchback, despite the crowd once more cheering the skinks on. The absurdly strong Lee Young-Ho holds onto the ball, soon backed up with various other thralls. A lot of skinks try and stop him - although there's no way to actually hit the ball-carrying thrall directly, there's enough opportunities to throw more bodies at the problem... except with a little bit of a shove, the thrall slips past and runs it into the endzone, putting the side 2-1 up.
The next drive doesn't go so well, the skinks failing to make any easy ground with the vampires backed so far up. There's little in way of a drive that the skinks manage, and the vampires counter by repositioning, shifting defensively and staying away from the baying lizards, although a drive from the blue-skinned side fails to go anywhere in particular with a messed-up sprint. The blue-bloods, in return, maintain their consolidation, refusing to budge, and content to wait out for the victory. Which they may as well do, given the lack of a breakthrough on the skink side, plans failing before they start to get going. Time and time again the skinks can't do enough, but at least this time Garr slips around, lacking cover as he is. Predictably, he's brought down, and the ball is recovered by Ku and hurled to Lee. Four stormers pile on the hulking thrall, but fail to even come close to bringing him down.
Despite some very concerted efforts, Lee slips away with little hassle, leaving the sauruses tied up. Rexx manages to wrench the ball from his hands, although Garr fails to catch the bouncing ball. Still, it gives Tezz a slim opening that he makes good on, slipping past a vampire and sprinting to the ball, running it in breathless and terrified to equalise, surprised he was still standing and staring at the crowds.
As the ball goes high in the dying moments of the game, Ku Sung-Hoon decides that he's just a little bit too hungry, and feeds on the steroid-laden Lee. And then proceeds to hurl a pass to him. While unconscious. The ball scatters and lands on the not-thrall Lee who collects it, and the thralls protect the two vampires with more of a hatch than a box, but keeping them safe from lunging skinks. As such, they can do little, and the game ends 2-2.
Ku Sung-Hoon gets MVP for Self Inflicted for his touchdown, while Garr gets his for similar reasons.
(Didn't expect to draw - Tezz saved us from defeat there, for sure.)
