Upcoming Matches: Win Big, or Lose it All?

With only three matches left to play and the scores so close, it's still Anyone's Game out there as we enter the final stretch of the Russell Cup Invitational Season 2.  Rusty Russellson here, reporting live from My Computer and truly, what a long strange trip it's been.

We've seen our share of ups and downs this season.  Some of my colleagues here like to compare the Russell Cup Invitational Season 2 (two) to a roller coaster ride at the local fair.  Personally, I like to see it as a mural.  Every moment of the Russell Cup Invitational Season 2 (two) matches tells a story, and every moment brings with it a trail of memories.

Let's recap some of what we've seen this season, shall we?  I'm joined today by a good friend and fellow broadcaster who truly needs no introduction, and it's with great pleasure that I turn you over to a man who truly knows the meaning of the Russell Cup Invitational.

AOOOOOOO!!  Cause one dog ain't enough, and two is too low, this is THREE DOG, coming to ya live from my fortified bunker right here in the middle of the Capital Wasteland.

That's right, from Megaton to Girdershade, Paradise Falls to the Republic of Dave, we're coming to you loud and proud in a special live report.

Listen up CHIIIIIILLLLDRENN.  With only three matches left to go, Russell Cup Invitational Season 2 players continue to fight... the good fight.  Although current standings have been classified as Classified until the remaining matches have been played out, tournament "official(s)" have stated that the standings are quote: "(...)Very Close, and that it's still Anyone's Game".

Meanwhile... recent reports indicate that Raider, Supermutant and Deathclaw armies continue to do battle for control over any and all resources out there in that irradiated stretch of land known as The Wastes.  So if you're thinking of going out there for a stroll, you'd better tread lightly and not be seen.  Cause whatever you have, they want... and they're not really into asking politely.  And if you happen to come across your favorite Russell Cup Invitational Season 2 competitor, give em a pat on the back, or even better... some ammo.

The Knights and Paladins of the Brotherhood of Steel also continue to fight the good fight.

Listen up kiddies, this stuff's important.  Though individual rankings will determine the winner or winners of the Russell Cup Invitational Season 2 (two), teamwork is what's gonna get you there.  That's right, folks.  Two versus two is the name of the game this time around, so make sure you lend a hand to whoever you're paired up with... it might just save your life.  Don't get too comfortable, though.  After only three games together, that same person that you thought had your back might just be on the other side of the Supermutant raiding party, if you know what I mean.

So far, one of the best teams has been Braynotron and this comes as no surprise to your friendly neighborhood disc-jockey Three Dog.   What's a disc? Hell if I know, but I'm gonna keep talking anyway.  These cats started off the season with two (2) straight wins in games two (2) and four (4).  Their only loss was against another top-ranking team during the LAN Event Spectacular where Ghamburgloar's Rangers of the Wastes successfully pulled off a reverse wall-off in a maneuver you had to see to believe.

Rusty's Picks for Memorable Moments: Super-mutant raiders are contained in a reverse wall-off long enough for Vault 38's population to get to safety.  Hamburglar's Radroaches, smelling a fresh meal, devour the trapped mutants in a cruel twist of fate.

In other news: The team known as Ghamburgloar also shares the top spot after finishing with two wins and one loss this season, and the same goes for Team Edward, also known as the Alpha Squadron Boys.  Hambotrglon, GAMBLotron, macho-man team BRoziñgu, and finally Brewdurglar of Deaths and Bitches can still tie the top score of two (2) wins and one (1) loss by winning the rest of their matches.  Now I know everyone out there's rooting for their favorite(s) in the upcoming matches, and some of you are wondering:  "What if my team finishes undefeated with a perfect score of three (3) wins and no (0) losses?"  That ship has sailed, kiddies, proving that even the best... can be beaten by the best.

And now, a public service announcement: Don't feed the Yao Guai!  That is all.

They may be cute and cuddly, but feeding them is not a good idea.

What's next on the menu?  The upcoming match between Hambotrglon and hard-trying macho man team BRoziñgu has fans gearing up for one hell of a fight.  Expert analists predict the match will be excessively violent, with a chance of dismemberment.  Stay tuned for our Five-Day Forecast!

So far, Hambotrglon has been the only team that has managed to pull off a successful worker rush.  Talk about guts, kids.  After getting reports that an old ROBCO factory had suddenly and inexplicably become operational again, these cats decided to charge across Entombed Valley straight into the armed and armored facility with nothing more than courage and some mining equipment strapped to their back against the full might of the robot army.  We even have reports that a colony of giant ants somehow controlled by Jimbotron himself joined in on the fighting.  I know, I know, I couldn't make this shit up!

As for that other team... better watch out, Hambotrglon, cause these brazilian macho men aren't exactly Ambassadors of Peace, if you know what I mean.  The spark of honor, of what could have been Brewdwarf making the transition to becoming a Wasteland Savior turned out to be nothing but a fizzle on Gutterhulk when the would-be Strider of the Wastes threw it all away by cannon rushing in the dirtiest way possible, and then transitioning to mass phoenix.  Is it too late for redemption?  Who knows, kiddies, but if you see these hombres, better steer clear.  Word is, these guys accept all the contracts the other mercs won't. In short, there's nothing they won't do. So be careful.

Until next time, this is Three Dog!  AOOOO!  And you're listening to Galaxy News Radio!  Bringing you the truth... no matter how bad it hurts.  And now, some music.
