Maraqua
Maraqua, once a small team, is now a recognised powerhouse with a spirited and very dedicated fan base. The team managed to keep analysts on their toes last year, coming back from a poor start to go head to head with many of the Cup's top tier teams, earning them almost enough points to make the first tier, although they slipped behind late in the second round-robin. The team performed well in the finals, eventually topping the second tier at fifth place.
Team Maraqua is one of the favourites for this year's Cup, with their strong supporter base and excellent record over the past two years as the main factors going for them. It's also possible that one or more of the Altador Cup's travelling bands of all-star players will be joining Maraqua this year, which would definitely improve their chances of victory.
Maraqua still has some lingering weaknesses however: one of the most important is their side game play. While impressive, the team has yet to show the sweep capacity required to match other top-tier powerhouses. Maraqua is well known for its 'Piranha mode', a nickname for the team's almost unstoppable second-round performance, often carrying through to the Cup's finals. This strength, however, also highlights another one of the team's weaknesses - Maraqua still lacks consistency to a degree, and the team's lack of endurance may well be its downfall, leaving open the possibility that they will be unable to reach the first tier for yet another year.
