(S8) - PT 4 - Rivalry

[SwagSloth]

One of the biggest team rivalries in the last few seasons has to be the Orange County Otters and the Yellowknife Wraiths. In S4 and S5, the two teams met in the Ultimus, only for the Otters to come out victorious both times. The Wraiths slipped in S6, but came back stronger than ever in S7. Many analysts had them pegged to make to the Ultimus and possibly finally beat the Otters, but an upset victory in the semi-finals allowed the Liberty to take their place and go on to win the Ultimus, ending the Otters’ 3-season streak. Now, once again, the Wraiths and the Otters stand at the top of their conferences and seem destined to meet once again in the S8 Ultimus.

Both teams feature a monster line-up with dynamic defenses. Yellowknife is known more for its run game and innovative tactics on the field, but the Otters have one of the strongest passing attacks in the league and QB Mike Boss has proven that he’s not one to be counted out in the fourth quarter. It’s clear that these are the two teams to beat this year. The real question is whether the Wraiths will finally capture their first championship or if the Otters will bring home their fourth title, giving them the most championships of any team thus far in the NSFL.
