Team Maraqua

Maraqua's Yooyuball team could be described as "a house divided," due to the antics of their star forward. Elon Hughlis is more concerned with his personal accomplishments than actual wins and losses, making him a headache to the team. He looks down on his teammates who aren't as talented as him, and they endure him due to his tremendous ability.

After getting beaten in the first round of Altador Cup 2006, fans thought Maraqua would cut its losses and get rid of Elon Hughlis. When it became apparent that Hughlis wasn't leaving, they decide to trade other foward, Jair Tollet for Roo Island's Dayla (injured in preseason). Considering Hughlis insisted on scoring most of the team's goals, Maraqua decided having three defenders in the lineup worked best for them, adding hefty defence man Oten Runeu to their starting unit. As a result, Maraqua looked to have one of the toughest squads in Neopia to score against, later proved to be false after placing ninth and tenth in the following two cups.

However, in 09, even though Maraqua was defeated in the first match by Kiko Lake, the team was able to win the second bracket, putting them in 5th place, a drastic improvement from their following years of 10th, 9th, and 10th.

In Altador Cup V, the team was hyped about a lot. However, due to a tough series of matches where they had to face the top three teams; Lost Desert, Kreludor, and Darigan Citadel in a row, and not faring well against any of them, they dropped from a strong fifth at the end of round one, to a struggling eighth at the end of round two. However, In the Finals they shined once again, beating Meridell who were consistently placed in the top four before being slightly edged out near the end by Roo Island, the defeating Virtupets Space Station to claim the same spot they claimed the year before, 5th.

In 2011's Altador Cup VI they added Lost Desert's defender Lamelle Turow because Dorina Hals retired. With a teammate from the winning team of Altador Cup V, people thought that Maraqua would have a very good shot at winning. Though they weren't quite able to play up to par with the other top tier teams, they managed to claim 4th after losing to Virtupets and Kreludor, the best they've ever done.
