Play-By-Play Commentary

Raining Locusts and Frogs

Clouds are brewing and storms are a' coming. Ballsy is back on the court with his patented smirk, but he's anything but friendly. Without lifting a finger he seemingly freezes time all Matrix-like and stops the pirate clone zombie army in its tracks. We've only got two rounds left and the battle is still raging on.

This one's a bit of a departure from the last round, but that could have been a dead-end not worth pursuing. We'll have to see how this all wraps up, with just one volley each. It's too close to call at this point.


Play by play commentary for this match is provided, as it happens, by Matt Haughey.
