Lutèce Playoff Final Tonight!
Here we go. The final of the Lutéce Cup Challenge is scheduled for 21:00 server time on Thursday (tonight). But what of our finalists?

In the green, pointy eared corner, we have Lutéce Oppers, coached by Danish titan Tripleskull. The impressiveness of Tripleskull's Blood Bowl is matched only by the magnificence of his moustache, and it is no surprise he brings a 15/0/1 online NAF Wood elf record to our final. OK, I suppose.

Tripleskull qualified as European Group 2 winner, topping the group ahead of coaches such as cedric19, Jokaero, Elyoukey, Malmir and KFoged. In the playoffs, the Oppers opened with a 2-1 win over Flix (impressive even with Chaos, what a performance from Flix there to qualify) and fought past Aussie Undead coach Dazedmw 2-1 in OT. With a perfect WE record until this point, our man from down under put in a great performance to tie with the Woodies after 16 turns.

In the also green, if slightly scaly, corner sits JanMattys and his Human team, Reptile Remedy. Wait, these aren’t Humans, Jan has Lizards! The Lutéce Cup Challenge has brought out something new in FUMBBL’s most famous Human coach! At 8/0/0, perhaps this new direction is going to work out?

JanMattys qualified as European Group 3 winner, finishing ahead of such BB luminaries as PurpleChest, Oventa, Flix fxiii and RTTNAFC winner, Straume. Not half bad! In the last 8, Jan’s quarter final was a 1-0 win over qualifier Norse coached by Mr. Peng. Jan’s all Euro run to Thursday’s showdown culminated in a 2-1 win over Justicium’s High Elves, another very impressive race to reach the last 8 with!

What of our contest, then? Tripleskull believes in Dodge. He believes a lot. No Thrower for Leader access here; 4 Catchers, and even two Linemen to make a total of 8 Dodgers. We have a Guard Tree, and the all important WD skills are (well duh) Strip Ball and (well ooh) Mighty Blow. It’s a continental, make sure they stay hit, style for the Woodies! The mandatory Inducment here is a keep-my-Elves-on-the-pitch Babe. Smart.

Jan’s Lizard roster is the 12 men over 11 + Apo variant for added Skinkage. He is not messing about with skills; it’s Block. And Block. And some Block. Also, Block. Finally, some Block on a Krox. It’s not a bad plan, is it? We also have a Babe here, so the Inducments aren’t going to be too much of a randomiser.

The matchup may be the biggest clue as to the outcome of the contest. Lizards have a torrid time against Woodies in this sort of format. How can Jan protect a Skink ball carrier from a 3+ Leap and a 35/36 ball strip? That is the central tactical conundrum here. Whilst your humble scribe considers the Lizard / Woodie effect overplayed by many (it’s no gimmie), it is certainly the primary consideration. Ball security is the big question, and I’m looking forward to seeing how Jan tackles the WD threat.

All finals ebb, flow, and take unexpected twists. I expect our underdogs to put in a fine performance, and this to be tight. I have it 2-1 in OT, but I’ll not divulge which way! Either way, these two fine coaches and gentlemen deserve your spectating noises, your warm applause for getting this far and a thumbs up for a fine tournament. Good luck to them both, and I look forward to seeing you in the stands 21:00 BB time (CET) Thursday. Be there, or miss a corker!

If you’ve gotten this far through my drivel, you deserve a reminder that the next online NAF fun will be announced this week. Stay tuned! ;)
