[Norse] The Grim Tale of THE BUMZURS

[Hoverdog]

The first team of the brilliant genius coach Hoverdog to take part in the Crunch Cup. Let me present The Bumzurs, each player drafted from the best teams from the Scandinavian BlackBowl. Grim, dark, evil, misanthropic (and miselvic, misorcic - you know the drill!) - they have come here to win!

And here they are!

#1 Attila Csihar, Runner from Mayhem United
#3 Ihsahn, Lineman, Norscan Emperor
#4 Garm, Lineman, Ulver Wolves
#5 Fenriz, Lineman, Darkthrone FC
#6 Nocturno Culto, Lineman, also of Darkthrone FC
#7 Frost, Lineman, AC Satyricon
#8 Neige, Lineman, imported from the french PSG Alcest
#13 Hunter Hunt-Hendrix, Berserker, from the american team Brooklyn Liturgy
#14 John Gossard,, Berserker, another from USA, San Fran Weakling
#15 Euronymous, Ulfwerner, Mayhem United (he had some health problems lately and missed last season, we all hope he is good to go!)
#16 Varg Vikernes,, Ulfwerner, a young emerging star, fresh from highschool!

Their first opponent: some pansy elves. Bah!

Haha, nice theme! I'd be a bit worried about "in-fighting" if I were you though...

[Hoverdog]

This is the price I have to pay for creating such an all-star team.

[Netsmurf]

#8 is bound to die

To be honest, Norse teams have been badly Nuffled in Crunch Cups to date and I can't think of any that have done especially well, so your all-star cast have a lot to prove. Good luck though...

I noticed you missed out the positions of the last four players on the list... Wondered what options you went with... Two Wolves, two Beserkers? All linemen?

Good luck in the comp... enjoy the elf bashing!

Hey! I need some good luck too you know Barn..

But in all seriousness, I'm expecting a tough match up with all that block and frenzy, but who knows how Nuffle will call it. See you on the pitch soon in any case.

I missed it somehow. Updated.

I hope for a lot of (except my wolfies obviously)

As Barn said, Norse have had a really terrible time so far in the Crunch Cup's. Not 1 has made it past group stages and I can recall a few Norse players who have dropped out after their teams had been mangled on the pitch. Good luck with them and here's hoping you perform better than your predecessors.

I really like your starting roster, but how many rerolls do you have? I'm guessing just the 2? Also no apoth i assume?

I would not worry about hoverdog not advancing to the playoffs. He's one of the fastest learning coaches I've seen and it's not even his first Norse team. We can only hope for his paper-mache Norse armor to fail as much as possible. Otherwise, we're doomed.

Not quite true. Norse To See You took out the favorites for the title in CCIII in the first playoff round (purely due to their newest recruit, #666 name of Nuffle) before crashing out in round 2. I think its the only CC that Netsmurf didn't make at least the semis.

Anyway I like the starting roster although I'm slightly concerned by the lack of rerolls it will force onto the team.
