Johnsons Salty Grifballs' Team Logo

Johnsons Salty Grifballs (also known as The Salty Sensations) was created in May 2008 by YodaMagicCircus and TOS Macca. To date they have competed in the UK Grifball Summer League 2008, the Sarge's Memorial Cup, UK Grifball Autumn League 2008 and are currently set to compete in the UK Grifball Winter League 2009 and the Johnson's Memorial Cup.

Early Days[]

Johnsons Salty Grifballs was created by YodaMagicCircus in May 2008. Originally, the team consisted of 5 players that all knew each other and all went to the same school. YodaMagicCircus and TOS Macca, the two main players in JSG at that time, were and obviously still are brothers. The teams main tank was NeTTOs Wookie, the best friend of YodaMagicCircus. KnuXles and pabloscamel were good friends of TOS Macca and so were excepted into the team.

UKGBSML08[]

Johnsons Salty Grifballs were placed in Division 5 of the 25 team Grifball league, split into legacy and rookie divisions. Other opponents in Division 5 included Team Slash and Smash, What Time Is It?, The Slighty Better Played Gentlemen and Desert Rat Force. Before the season began, YodaMagicCircus said his team would be aiming for second place at best.

Division 5 was the strangest league. Before they had yet to play a game, Desert Rat Force and The Slighty Better Played Gentlemen forefitted the league. This left 3 teams. At the end of the season, after forefitting there last games, What Time Is It? were also disqualified from the league for playing players they shouldn't have. Johnsons Salty Grifballs finished top of the division, winning all of there games. In all, Johnsons Salty Grifballs played 3 matches :-

  • Johnsons Salty Grifballs vs. Team Slash and Smash, 6-3
  • What Time Is It? vs. Johnsons Salty Grifballs, 3-6

The Playoffs[]

After finishing top of Division 5, Johnsons Salty Grifballs went to the playoffs. As they were a rookie team, they would have to beat another rookie team to book a place in the quarter finals. Johnsons Salty Grifballs took on the Division 3 Runner Up, Grif-Sport Elite and won 6-3.

Johnsons Salty Grifballs then commenced into the next stage and were placed against Division 2 winners, The Great British Grifballers. Johnsons Salty Grifballs were overwhelmed and lost 7-2 to the eventual team who would come runner-up in the competition, behind Chupathingy.

The group stages of the Sarge's Memorial Cup are now over with Johnsons Salty Grifballs finishing in 1st place in the Sarge Division. They then defeated Smiley Pickle Pirates in the quarter finals. Johnsons Salty Grifballs then went on to defeat semi-final opponents The Angry Saints to get themselves a place in the SMC final against The Fumble Faction were JSG got a fluke with The Fumble Faction only getting 3 players together and managed to get themselves a win and win the Sarge's Memorial Cup.

UKGBAL08[]

JSG are currently competing in the UKGBAL08 and have been placed in Division 1. Also in there division is :-

If you include Grifballs of Steel as being fr33style midgets just without there old captain, Johnson's Salty Grifballs are the only rookie team to move from the rookie division to the legacy division.

They have not started there conquest off well though. They lost there first game 5-4 to Grifballs of Steel. YodaMagicCircus said that this was the closest they came to ever beating there rivals and the first time both teams were equally matched, once again showing how much Johnsons Salty Grifballs have improved and that they still are and next season, they might be real contenders.

In there, next game it was Johnsons Salty Grifballs vs. Sarge's Angels. Sarge's Angels and JSG were 1-1 when Strangler 999 lagged out of the game. After Strangler 999 couldn't rejoin and Sarge's Angels scored 3 more when Strangler was absent from the game and refused to allow for a rematch, JSG left and demanded a rematch. The rematch took place and Johnsons Salty Grifballs managed to win by a score of 9-0 and moved into third in the division, taking over Sarge's Angels. This was a very controversial moment in the season. For more information, please go to the JSG-SA Controversy.

JSG next game was against The Fumble Faction. JSG had only one win against TFF, and they were only using 3 players at the time. JSG did not go in confident, knowing how good of a team The Fumble Faction were. In the end, after a closely fought game and an incredibly intense match, Johnsons Salty Grifballs managed to pull off a 5-4 win with YodaMagicCircus scoring the opener and Strangler 999 scoring there over 4. It was the best win for JSG to date,

JSG then had a very controversial game against Grifballs of Steel in which the game was filled with lag for both sides and GBOS won 9-0. JSG appealed for a rematch so they had a chance of having a fair game where both teams could play but there appeal was denied by commissioner xilv and they had to accept there loss.

They then took on Chupathingy with the returning Gingerlink and mike of doom360. JSG played very badly but they still managed to pull off a 6-3 win over the opponents.

They then took on Sarge's Angels for game 2. JSG dominated game 1 but had to replay the match after Sarge's Angels asked them too after one of there players controllers kept disconnecting. The rematch went the same with JSG winning with a score of 6-3. Strangler999 lagged out in round 9 and meant the game became invalid due to the Grifball rules so game 1 was used instead.

JSG's final game was against The Fumble Faction and it was the fight for second place. The Fumble Faction were strong and powered through with hammers as JSG had to rely on there sword play to keep TFF back and stop them cold. Yet, TFF came out supreme with a 7-2 win but JSG, finishing 3rd in there division still picked up a wild card place into the playoffs.

JSG took on The Elite Spartans in the quarter finals of the playoffs. JSG gave a strong performance with lots of teamwork and managed to win 8-1.

They then took on The Fumble Faction in the semi-finals. After a hard thought game with shocks and fantastic displays of skills from both teams, TFF came out as narrow 5-4 winners, meaning that JSG hadn't made it to the final.

Trivia and Facts[]

Johnsons Salty Grifballs Theme Song[]

Here is the Johnsons Salty Grifballs Theme Song, written by YodaMagicCircus. It is a parody of the 'Still Alive' song that can be found on the credits of Portal, by Valve.

Salty Sensations
I’m having a thought here: WE’RE THE BEST
It’s bad to overrate my team but screw it
Salty Sensations
We kill what we must
because we can
With a sword of hammer cos
Maybe we could die instead
But if we keep playing till the enemies break
We may start scoring and the points are for the take
And the scoring gets done
Cos you make a sweet run
For those people who are on our side
I hope your not angry
Win or loss the game was so great
Even if we kicked your ass
And bagged you
And raped you with hammers
And slayed you with swords, oh god, the power
If you’d won we would not care, we’d so happy for you!
But those points on the board make a beautiful sight
And we’re almost breaking
But we’re scoring on time
So I’m glad if you won
Cos your tactics we have learned
for the people who are on our side
Go ahead and leave us
We’ll just play somebody else instead
Maybe you’ll find someone else to play you
Maybe Death on Call?
THAT WAS A JOKE
HAHA, FAT CHANCE
Anyway, we are still great.
Kickin ass everyday
Look at me still gloating
when there’s Grifball to do.
With TOS and Yoda and the SafeRicky too
Then there’s Strangler to run.
And there’s Eyspy having fun
And the people who are on our side
And there are people who are on our side
And other players that are on our side
I’ll feel FANTASTIC if your on our side
While were playing they will be on our side
When we have won they will be on our side
ON OUR SIDE
ON OUR SIDE
