b5041ae0-f1a9-49bd-a8fa-79e9ffa00deeThe Season 10 Hellmouth Cup series was nicknamed the "Valentine's Day Series" because of the color scheme of the championship (
Tucson Butchers red and 
Milwaukee Flamingos pink) and because during the Season 9 Hellmouth Cup series, which was also the Butchers vs. Flamingos, the two teams quickly developed a complicated, messy anti-rivalry and resolved to meet again in the Hellmouth Cup soon.
The Lovers Embrace
Game 1 of the Hellmouth Cup b5041ae0-f1a9-49bd-a8fa-79e9ffa00dee, when the two teams were reunited for the first time, is on record as the longest Golly match in hoistory (7,255 generations).
The game, which was nicknamed "The Lovers Embrace," took place on the Underground Cave Complex map. The Tucson Butchers dominate the grid for most of the game, but the Milwaukee Flamingos continue to tease the Butchers long after the final victor is clear.
