Breaking with tradition, the match was held in the BlasTech Gikosphere on Coruscant and broadcast on HoloNet Entertainment Signal 3 in an attempt to raise the sport’s profile in the galactic capital. The one-tenth-of-capacity crowd of 12,000 beings left disappointed and confused.
“Naturally we were hoping to win, especially in front of the home-planet crowd,” said team captain Jipoly Numifolis. “Listen, bolo-ball [the name used for limmie in worlds outside the core – editors] is really gaining popularity with local toddlers. I think that twenty years from now, Coruscant will be a feared bolo-ball planet.”
On Fwillsving, the city of Svitalos now lays in ruin following the jubilant uprising after their limmie team’s 1-0 victory over Kubindi. The frenzied crowd of 4 million spectators – three times the city’s normal population – took to the streets cheering, looting, and destroying. “I’m so happy,” said local merchant Kerlay Utanks after setting off several thermal detonators in his culinary automata shop.
In other opening-round matches this week, Kothlis defeated Ord Mantell 1-0, Ralltiir upset Tralus 1-0, and Yag’Dhul humiliated Kinyen 2-0. Onila Richblum scored twice in the match, tying a Galactic Cup record.
