The Winner Of The DreadBall Crystallan Team Revealed!
March 17, 2014 by brennon
The DreadBall Xtreme Kickstarter has come to a close and with that we also have the reveal of our winner for the Crystallan Team Name competition! It was a close run thing but Mantic and indeed Jake Thornton himself have come up with a winner!
Here is what Jake had to say...
"Coming up with a really great name for a team is a surprisingly tricky challenge and it was great to see so many people trying their hand. Loads of interesting names among the mix with plenty of mineral references as you’d expect. I ended up Googling all sorts of strange sites and substances to see what colour they were. At least, that’s my excuse. That wasn’t all though – there were also some clever wordplays (Quartzerbacks) and some rather bizarre offerings (Constipated Carbon Munchers) hidden among the beryls and carbonites.
In the end though, the one I picked out of the mix came from a different angle. It was a difficult choice with the Glass Cannons coming a close runner up. In the end though, it was the Rock Solids that made me smile most so I’ve gone for them. To quote an old British advert “it does what it says on the tin”. Well done to romerous."
So there you have it! The winner of the competition is romerous and the name is Rock Solids! We'll be contacting you soon so we can find out your details and pass them on to the folks at Mantic! Enjoy your team!
With the Xtreme Kickstarter at an end what team are you most excited about from those announced?

Cheers!
Welcome to the Rock Solids Team in DreadBall universe!
Congratulations!
Congrats romerous!!
I prefer the prisoners, plague, mechanites, sphyr, koris and hobgoblins.
I prefer the dark and gritty for this game and think these are it.
Congratulations romerous. Great name for and awesome looking team.
I have the only team that can defeat the ROCK SOLIDS…… THE BRANFLAKE DIS-LODGERS!
I understand the Rock Solids are undeafeated against the Slipstream Scissors but can’t seem to pull off a win against the Papyrus Papers!
Oh dear… now I am reminded of the dreadful So Solid Crew…
No doubt the Crystallan’s opponents prefer to refer to them insultingly as ‘Soon to be Gravel’.
“With the Xtreme Kickstarter at an end what team are you most excited about from those announced?”
Is that really a question when there is a sharkerouserous ™ walking around ?
As iv only recently started playing dreadball , with the zee’s. il be glad to play a human team like the convicts as the monkeys are hard to play well . Plus i think they look good .
Yeah The Zees don’t play like any other team, they’re really difficult to learn on. I generally recommend new players start with Corporation (which stat-wise I bet the Convicts will be similar).
Congratulations, Romerous!
Well done Romerous! Enjoy your team later this year.
Thanks everyone and thanks to Jake for selecting my entry. Can’t wait till later in the year to play with this team.
Thanks also to Beasts of War for running the completion and Mantic for producing fantastic games.
Good fun..
