MLPF Universal Cup III: F I N A L !

*cue pyro* 

 

 

We dedicate this finale in memory of The Iron Sheik.  Live and direct on MLP Forums, we are broadcasting from the Trotyo Dome in Neighpon, where the weak fall and crumble and the strong stand and rumble! This is the finals of the third ever MLPF Universal cup! In our semi-main event, the village people battle the city slickers for the cute copper commemorative consolation prizes! And in our main event to decide it all, last years winners from the dark side of the moon face off with a team captained by the inaugural winner and her unaccredited community college. The losers gets their nearly nailed it nickle awards. The winners get their prominent proud platinum prizes. Only winners get alliteration here.   Oh and the chance to fill that trophy with apple cider or something. 

 

Get it on!

Vote for Manehattan!

We are the best team of all

Our team just became 20% cooler!
 

Maybe 20% cuter too?

Not only that, we have a princess on our team now!

Eeyup!

Best sheriff would be so happy to get your support!

As would Cloudchaser... Maybe the most fabulous pegasus with that mane?

[White Light]

The white pony continues place  changeling shards on the ground.

"Foolish ponies....always have been... Very foolish..." The pony sighed, as he continues to dig and burry the shards.

[Magnolia]

"Eternal Night isn't something I would complain about." said Magnolia, calmly looking on at everyone.

I offer but a humble bribe, to convince ye to join the greatest of tribes!

For if our greatness doesn't speak for itself, then I shall gather ingredients from my shelf.

Vanilla and Sugar, stir and mix, beat the eggs, lick those lips!

Give us your vote, and witness a theatrical concussion, Fly to the moon for the recipe, and feast your eyes on the World Cup Begins Discussion!

AYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY THAT WAS AN INTENSE MATCH!  

[azbat 301]

Discord:  You see dear Cadance, it was that Dr. Hooves character that held us back last time. Earth ponies are only good for a laugh. Am I right or am I right, huh Pinkie?

Yay, we got third place!
Thank you for all your support
Kettle Corn signs off

There's no way I could have ended this World Cup journey without one last Kettle Corn haiku. Thanks to @TheRockARooster for being my fellow Manehattanite, @TBD for helping with many fun ideas and @Rikifive for all the great material posted throughout the tournament. And of course everyone else too for making this tournament such an entertaining one!

Congratulations to the School of Friendship for a narrow but impressive victory! Pinkie being on the winning team more than makes up for her fate in the last tournament, and I'm especially glad to see Smolder (such an underrated character) in the winning crew! Team Moon impressed too, being so close to repeating their feat from last time. The top three teams and Kirin Village all had excellent line-ups, so it was no surprise the battles were so close and the lead kept changing hooves. And all the other teams deserve credit for their efforts too!

Here's to another great World Cup in 2027 (which will be here much sooner than it sounds)!
