New winds in 2 dodges 1 blitz Blackbox metagame?

After lineup for the game against VulgARR Display of PowARR was revealed it raised some questions about integrity of the enduring principles coaches and management of 2 dodges 1 blitz have always held at high value. After the death of a star blitzer Kilinks secret staff meeting was held and resulted in laying off the 100SPP veteran Painelee.

Statement from that meeting was given: new offensive tactics are required to stay on top of the game. "No longer can a single player be held responsible for taking out key opponents and as always we condemn any foul play that happens on the pitch." says the statement given to press. It would indicate taking the route of least resistance and sacking the martial arts training program the team has developed for years now.

The 2 dodges 1 blitz martial arts program was designed to scout out promising highborn elves, or the strongest of lowborns, who could be trained as 'heavy hitters' - borderline illegal piling on maneuvers and mighty (often enchanted) fists giving out knockout blows. Only one ever finished the program and now after his demise it would seem that training of the new potential hitters has paralyzed.

Yesterdays match became the top score of the team against ogres. After a fashion the players were eager to show their skills and durability scoring massive five times, 3 in the first half and 2 at second. Before game, to boost the player morale, an additional apotechary was hired to take care of some minor injuries. That indeed paid of as Rousk the blitzer was pumped up with painkillers after being badly hurt. The actual apotechary of the team healed catcher Riistelee who had broken his leg. Indeed a fine staff performance as well.

"Some of our players have gone soft in thinking they can last in the team with big skills and big paycheck and that their performance in other aspects doesn't matter. It is time to lay new principles and values for winning." Quoting team manager after press conference.

Our analysts are predicting that the legendary Tunks is next in line for sacking. But his career records speaks for itself and despite his horrendous stamina he is still the top star of the team. And since there is no replacement to be seen in any near future (thank you College of Celestial Magic) us reporters can assume he will peak his performance in the upcoming FUMBBL Cup.
