Joining the [[Altador Cup]] in 2007, '''[[Shenkuu]]'s Yooyuball team''' is regarded by [[Altador Cup]] enthusiasts as an exciting young team with plenty of promise, but they were expected not to make much noise in the tournament, having too many holes in their team. The inexperience of goalie [[Xana DiLanche]], the unpredictable health of defender [[Turo Rafels]], and the team's overall lack of tournament play are all serious concerns. However, the stunning talent of young forwards [[Mirsha Grelinek]] and [[Foltaggio]] may cause a few upsets.

The team surpassed expectations by claiming 3rd place in the 2007 Cup after defeating [[Krawk Island]] in the 3rd place game while the following year in [[Altador Cup III]], they dropped down one spot to 4th place. In [[Altador Cup IV]] Shenkuu came second after, shockingly, beating top seed [[Kreludor]] and losing to [[Krawk Island]] in the finals. Needless to say, Shenkuu was one of the favorites going into [[Altador Cup V]]. However, it would be an understatement to say the were disappointing, finishing 11th in the end.
The team surpassed expectations in the [[Altador Cup II|2007 Cup]], defeating [[Krawk Island]] in the third place game.  The following year in [[Altador Cup III]], they dropped one spot to fourth place. In [[Altador Cup IV]], Shenkuu shockingly defeated top seed [[Kreludor]] to reach the finals, but lost to [[Krawk Island]] was left in second. Although they were favourites going into [[Altador Cup V]] thanks to their strong prior performances, Shenkuu's 2010 bid ended in a very disappointing 11th place finish.
