Event Description
2016
"Most football players are temperamental. That’s 90% temper and 10% mental" - Doug Plank
It's that time of year for picking up the ol' pigskin, smashing into a group of men geared up in armour to spike the said pigskin into the end zone in celebration.
As the single biggest sports fan of the group, Jim the Lumberjack is beside himself with excitement for the major sports event in the Crusader calendar: The Carnage Cup.
Rounding up the fellow Crusaders he decides to throw a tailgate party ahead of the big game. Unfortunately for Jim, it all goes wrong very quickly and soon the Crusaders have to destroy swathes of monsters before he and team can enjoy the sporting festivities.
2017
Put on your cleats, Crusaders! It's time for the Carnage Cup: the most violent, the most painful, and by the far the most exciting hand-egg ball competition in the whole universe! Recruit all four of the Carnage Cup Crusaders, including two brand new ones, as you throw, run, and kick your way to victory.
This event honours two more YouTube celebrities who have been producing awesome Crusaders videos back in 2015/2016. Again, just like MrBayEasy, you'll find Bensch and Brothgar as boss monsters within the game.
2018
The ultimate sport returns — it's time for another Carnage Cup! Grab your gear and head out to the stadium for another annual tailgate party. Let's see where it all leads us this time...
2019
Put on those cleats and pads, and maybe a mouth guard and helmet, too — the biggest event of the year in CrusaderSports™ is here: CARNAGE CUP 4!! This year's contenders are exciting to behold, perhaps none so than the newest Crusader to take to the field, a Half-Dwarf/Half-Orc powerhouse by the name of Nargulg Granitehand. Yes folks, you read that right: Granitehand. This guy has been training his whole life for a chance to compete in the most chaotic event in CrusaderSports™, and he's here to win.
It's time for The Big Game! Sure, some other games may be bigger, but we've got the trademark! Here to bowl you away are a super new Crusader and five challenging objectives. This event runs until February 5th at noon PST, when scandal will bring the games to a close.
New Crusaders
Tier 1
Groklok the Orc
Groklok the Orc is a beast of a linebacker who's abilities include increasing the DPS of Crusaders in front of him by 150% among other abilities.
Drizzle the Dark Elf
Drizzle the Dark Elf is the nimble, tricky running-back. Drizzle enjoys a unique partnership with Groklok. Just like the best players, they can combine in various ways to maximize their tactics.
Playing Drizzle in front of Groklok will buff his formation ability by 100%. If Drizzle and Groklok play alongside each other, the combined skills buff Groklok's DPS by 400%. When Groklok is blocking and tackling in any column in front of Drizzle, Groklok's line gets a health buff and takes less damage.
Tier 2
Karl the Kicker
Karl the Kicker takes up the same slot as Natalie Dragon and has some cool abilities in his kit bag. At level 50 Split the Uprights divides your DPS evenly between the front-most and back-most enemies (if there's only one enemy, it will take full normal damage; if two, each takes 50% of total DPS).
Cindy the Cheer-Orc
Cindy the Cheer-Orc has some cool abilities hidden in her pom-poms. At level 50, she unlocks Top of the Pyramid which will buff other Crusaders' DPS up to 25% per slot based on how far away they are from Cindy. At level 400 her Practice Makes Perfect ability increases the effect of Top of the Pyramid based on the area you've reached by 10% (multiplicative) per 50 areas.
Tier 3
Griz the Robo-Coach
Griz the Robo-Coach is an aging, grizzled, robotic coach, who motivates everyone in front of him based on how far from him they are. Griz is also very old and may be slightly falling apart...
Tier 4
Nargulg Granitehand
Nargulg small for Orc. But Nargulg big for Dwarf.
Nargulg loves chaos! Nargulg loves fight!
Crusaders like murder. Crusaders like Carnage Cup.
Nargulg join Crusaders!
Nargulg win Carnage Cup!
Nargulg Granitehand is a Half-Dwarf/Half-Orc Crusader, who managed to draw all the anger and fury from both races into a single muscular body of destruction. He increases Click Damage for every Dwarf Crusader and Orc Crusader in the formation, with Nargulg counting twice because he's both!

Note:
- ↑ The name change was implemented to avoid any potential legal issues. Blood Bowl is the name of a fantasy football board game and video game by Games Workshop.
- ↑ Drizzle has three formation abilities that all need to be activated for this achievement: Hail Mary, Lateral, and Running Play. Despite the implication, you don't need to activate Groklok's ability Gunslinger, but rather re-position him and/or Drizzle to get all three of Drizzle's relative positioning formation abilities activated.
