Let's Get Ready To Rumble!! An O[L]C History Lesson
Well, well, well...
The O[L]C Grands Prix are looking like they are ready for action and let me tell ya, this man is trembling with anticipation for the major entertainment that is sure to follow. Most of the new contenders are shaping up their teams and getting ready for the big events! Five Grands Prix! Surely things can't get any more exciting than that. Anyway, it seemed like a good time for a little preview.
The Once and Future Kings
Here we are. These champs are the ones that you should all be looking to emulate. Shining examples of the power and passion of the O[L]C, these teams are our current champs. Will they seek to defend their titles?? Will they make weight for their title defence if they do? One thing is for sure, you wouldn't want to meet one of these teams in a dark alley!
O[L]C Grand Prix VI (Heavyweight)
Current Champ: Horror Scopes
Race: Nurgle
Ahhhhh, the Heavyweights! The ones that this jaded promoter loves more than anything! Watching a big, bloated Heavyweight smashing all and sundry is enough to bring a tear to the eye and the Scopes are no exception. A nice and aggressive Nurgle roster, the Scopes are led by Leo and Aries II in the front with their MB/Claw/Guard whirling death arrangement. Nice! Add to this their cohort of intimidating Pestigors of whom Capricorn is the standout. Over 1,000 paces rushing, most TDs for the team, and ST4! What a player!!
Chances: Well, as they don't appear to be in the group anymore (at the time of writing) I would have to say the chances are slim! But perhaps a new contender can get amongst it and destroy their opposition which they did when they won the last Heavyweight installment.
Watch the match here
O[L]C Grand Prix V (Middleweight)
Current Champ: Undeadly Sins
Race: Undead
Well, we all know that Undead make for good league and tournament sides and the Sins were no exception. Gluttony and Wrath are the standouts in this well balanced side that poses a threat to each and every one of their opponents. And Wrath! What a DrPoods kinda player! Mighty Blow, Piling On, Frenzy! And of course, Tackle... No dodgy blighters are getting away from this avatar of destruction.
That being said, what can we say about the Sins? Coach eldritchfox led his team efficiently to the Middleweight crown dispatching Duro's miners in the final. If any coaches out there doubt their cred, the miners brought Zara and Flint Churnblade to the final yet it wasn't enough with the Sins taking a 2-1 victory.
Check out the final here
O[L]C Grand Prix IV (Rookie)
Current Champ: Learning to Drive
Race: Dark Elf
Mmmmmm, Witch Elves...
Sorry. Where was I? Ah yes... Witch Elves... Mmmmmmm *ahem*
Anyway, Learning to Drive took out the previous edition of the championship over the Fapulous Fighters in a hell of a match. Even accounting for the death of Alonso, this was a worthy champion. Led by coach JimmyFantastic, the Elves proved too strong in some Dark Elf on Dark Elf action. Have I mentioned Witch Elves yet? *cough*
A team that has obviously suffered the ravages of time in currently running 5 journeymen, it remains to be seen if we will see them again. Still, one can only hope they get up and running and then we can see some cold-hearted, psychotic lovelies gracing the O[L]C pitches in the future.
Watch the final here
So there you have it! A preview is yet to come but hopefully this has whetted the appetites of all you wavering coaches out there! You could have your team's name in lights as well. Impress, and the world is your oyster!
This has been DrPoods saying "Keep your gloves up, and come out snarling!" |

Hello sports fans!
DrPoods here with an update on the goings on at O[L]C headquarters as the Grand Prix action is hotting up. Some big games have been played and we are looking forward to what promises to be a superfragilistic, hyperfantasistic superlative next few matches as we look to the business end of the tournaments!
First we look at Grand Prix XII
We have an epic match coming up against the Ogres of Bobo und seine Freunde and Just you wait. The big money is coming in on the Ogres at present with Just you wait suffering a long injury list after some massively hard fought games. With 4 missing (including their CPOMB star Colossal Boy the Chaos lads might struggle to contain the 9...Count'em NINE!! Ogres that they will be sure to face. As for the Ogres themselves, they look fit as a fiddle and raring for a fight. Will Bonehead run rampant? Will the Chaos boys be able to get over their lack of fitness? Oh boy! This commentator cannot wait for this one!
Grand Prix XI
Slow going here! Only two games were played in the opening round and I am sure that the last thing that Assassinville Jag'Wires and More human than you, man wanted to see was a raging Greenskin unit in [CBBL Ground 'n' Pound] and Snowy's Minders getting a bye into this round. Match of the day surely will be that of the Jag'Wires and the Minders as they look two well-developed machines that are just itching to tearify each other a new one! I for one will be looking out for Flickle who looks one cantankerous bastard!
Grand Prix X
Not much I want to say here. But whoever faces Nightz Watch better keep an eye out for John Snow II. The AG5 blitzer looks a star of the future! Ably supported by his teammates as part of a well-balanced side, their future opponents will have a game on their hands! Especially with Samwell Tarly looking to bring the hurt!
Grand Prix IX
Oh yeah baby! Khemri are always good for some O[L]C friendly carnage! This one looks to be a mismatch of sorts o paper with the Khemrians of Reign Of Dust up against the Woodies of FC Woodcelona. Making it especially tough for the Khemri are the multiple +AG players for Woodcelona, especially Faml Silion who surely will be leaping around causing havoc. Without any tackle on the Khemri side, it could be a long day for them but with a few early CAS? Who know what may transpire.
Will the Woodies float like a butterfly and sting like a bee?
Or will El_Dude be standing at the end demanding that the spectators "Look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair"?
Grand Prix VIII
Still waiting on what transpires in the match between Scales Of Justice! and Caibideal aimsireil ard-urram, we look at the other contender for O[L]C glorificativity!
Praise The Ref look to be developing into a prototypical Dwarven steamroller. Lots of guard and some pure, nasty pieces of work the Dwarves are looking to ease through into the next ronud of competition but will it be that easy?
In comparison, their future opponents look under done but as the old saying goes "Speed Kills" and in O[L]C land, anything can happen! A potential weakness for the Reffers is the lack of block or dodge on their Runners. Will it hurt them? Or will the wall of steel protect them from harm?
Grand Prix VII
Its all Human, all the time in Grand Prix VII as the Bucaneros del Henares (145.2) take on the Men of Kent. This may seem a cop out, but honestly... two fine coaches with their finely matched teams? Could go either way. However, with the complete lack of tackle, we could find that the blodging Michel Laurent could be a difference maker. Also, it will be interesting to see how the Bucaneros go with their tandem throwers. Who will carry the team? Stay tuned for more!
Anyhoo, it has been fascinating watching the Grand Prix's develop over the last few weeks and as we move to the business end there should be more fireworks to come!
This has been DrPoods saying "Keep your gloves up, and come out snarling!"
AND DON'T FORGET! THE ELIMINATORS AND TITLE BOUTS ARE COMING UP! SEE MORE BELOW!!
(This jaded scribe cannot wait for these!!)

To be fair Poods, I think a lot of money must have been on [DFFL] Bratwurst in the last round.
A few bookies probably lost their shirts on that one. It'll be interesting to see who shows up for Just you wait. They'll have a lot of money to spend.
It's a pity the Drunk could not trim the ogres down a bit in the semis.
