WO without Orcs
That is rather funny! Especially when Gobo's are now the only greenskin representatives in the Warpstone Open (Low Few), even if that was only through chance or cheating ;-)
But I doubt many would have imagined a major without at least one orc team in the final 16......
6 Dark Elf teams
4 Chaos teams
2 Dwarf teams
1 Chaos Dwarf team
1 Skaven team
1 Lizardmen team
1 Goblin team
Lots and lots of DE and Chaos, but with Orcs out of the picture those two races are among the most popular in majors so no news there. I like that we have another Lizard team in the final 16, not often that that happens either.
Too bad that both Danish team (from the qualifiers) are facing strong opponents in their first games, but I guess that when you are in the top 16 there aren't any easy games - at least there shouldn't be.
But 4 Danish coaches in the final 16 is pretty good, even if only 2 of them qualified and the last two got lucky.
This major is going to be fun to watch, even for an Orc coach like me :-D

Yay!
Wouldn't it be great if the Skaven take it? :D

I would rather see the gobbos win it!
Posted by Optihut on 2010-02-12 12:15:16
Agreed, the goblins should take it home!
Posted by blader4411 on 2010-02-12 12:15:43
Maybe, but I just KNOW the gobbos will face one of the three dwarven teams in round 1 ;-)
Posted by Nemeton on 2010-02-12 12:29:22
Except there are only 2 dwarf teams and the Gobos are playing a DE team in the first round ;-)

Proof Orcs need a boost.

I think that PC is both very wise and very right!!!

Would this be the first time Goblins made it to a finals?
Does it even "count"?

Well, I count the Chaos Dwarf Team as Dwarven (I think they're even better than regular dwarves at hight TR), but I didn't check the scheduler <_<
Shame on me...

Huge win the greenskins are out.
But gigantic fail that more than 50% of the teams qualified are from only 2 different races.
Nothing new there though I guess.

Yep.
At those TR/TS levels, Dark Elves are the best scorers, and Chaos the Best Bashers.
I was expecting some super-powered wood elves though...
