Time has frozen in this stage, as always, everything is vague, many warriors are fighting but most do not understand why? Why am I doing this? Why am I trying, why do I do( everything I do ) if I don't have a party or a guild ?? That's exactly what you guys have to do, to get together, to make a perm, to make friends, the rest comes naturally, the top guilds guests will take you inside if you're "decently dressed". It's all about teamwork, well dressing up your party members, help your guild, your 'mans', and go Forward in top!!! This server is the real play to win version of MU online, of course many of you will say that you cannot win if you do not pay but let's see the facts: top 30 players since beginning are hard workers so they invest more than "money", they invested time!!! Remember that and they are actually the 'kingpins' of this game, they do not need to buy VIP cause they win it on Castle Siege, they do not need to donate for credits because they are active, they farm items and sell if you ( the rest of you) won't wake up! Advices : make friends, get stable pt (turn it into main party), join a guild and fight for supremacy!!!

The beginning of Phoenix#3 was hard, it was about the most active and most determined players to get to top, HARDCORE again smashed all rankings because of their core but it is not all about that, they gain respect and developed a Strategy based on the main core, then they absorbed former Squadrons Core (Zutto, Waste, Fane, Avicii and FKinGCunT) and imagine that they did that just few days before TwoCheeks and his team announced the coming back thing. Hardcore won easy the first CS that counts with 20170 points, Neutral, the guild with our legendary Moldavian warriors are followers with 4687 points, Nosgoth, the guild from which we all had higher expectations, a guild made by former Diamond Core, got only 3818 points, they seemed a little disorganized, but on Inception they proved to be formidable opponents for those in Hardcore, and last but not least Squadron, this legendary guild seems to miss the players who left for Hardcore, that magnificent party composed of Zutto, Waste, Fane, Avicii and FKinGCunT, they also have lost a little ground in this server start, but in the future we hope to see again that great guild that is fighting with real chances to conquer the crown.

Did you miss me? Well, I don't know your opinion, but I definitely missed you! Today is a great day for Old Squad Community, a long-awaited one by many of the players who have already felt the taste of the quality of this server and, of course, the taste of the competition.

The moment has come and we are pleased to enjoy this fresh data base with many surprises, from one data base to another we have seen these servers evolve based on the previous experience, we have enjoyed all those bloody "on the edge" wars, we have seen great guilds destroyed by the curse and turned in ash, we have also seen how some have managed to rise from their own ashes just like the sacred bird who inspired the name of this server, returning better organized and more motivated, with warriors led by pride, thirst for revenge and glory with great leaders who awakened an entire community, warriors who did not give up when everything was lost and made miracles overturning impossible situations, we saw battles won with pride but also shameful victories, we saw how hatred and pride turned strong characters covering them with shame, we felt many times the sour taste of disappointment seeing warriors we admire falling prey to recklessness, we all lived shameful but also glorious moments, everything happens here, dear readers in this beautiful community of which we are all part.
  

A pleasant surprise was announced recently on forum by the founder of Squadron, TwoCheeks, a leader that is known as one of the most respected in the History of OldSquad, a leader who announced that will bring back the strongest core of this Legendary Guild and not only, also promising very interesting fights for supremacy.

We already know that every database we have seen many guilds that we can say that are legendary, but we have also seen "unexpected" changes in the battle for supremacy and new guilds that have managed to amaze the entire Community. I wonder what will be the name of the guilds that will rise this time to face them? We already know the names of some legendary guilds who felt the taste of victory on the eternal battlefield called "Valey of Loren" so, will it be Hardcore? or Dynasty? or maybe  GROM? Will we see guilds like ATTACK or a return of some from the distant past like NONE? Will the battle for supremacy bring us new guilds? There is still time to find a guild that matches your type of gameplay, you can ask around: https://discord.gg/zjNSMPNc 

One thing is for sure, time will reveal us the answers to all these questions and more. Having said that, all I can do is to wish you a lot of fun and I hope you relive all the feelings mentioned above!

                                                                                               May the Curse stay away from you!

While on the Hardcore side we could see the "perfect" organization, the other three guilds were simply MASSACRED, they had chaotic attacks, disorganization, not even a bit of vision or any strategy, at one point the castle looked like a huge spot on which  the Hardcore warriors were quietly leveling, having in the foreground these three superstars: RuSuLeTzZz "The Machine Gun", "The Crusher" mafy and Mu3rTe "The Death Bringer". Time passes slowly, very slowly as if to prolong the agony of the three guilds with fighters who came to the battlefield with "plastic weapons".
Eventually the fight is over and Hardcore remain invincible after the most unbalanced fight from the beginning of the server until now, It was just an "easy practice" for No1LiveEr's crew, a victory without any emotion. 

The following week was a busy one in our community, Neutral was in the forefront, disbanding after that shameful defeat, and a new scandal shook the forum... Chukundah, Snook and Venom robbed Hardwell, Zutto and FKinGCunT in revenge after Zutto did the same thing by robbing Snook, an entire drama was unleashed and The Curse that has been hidden so far suddenly hit so hard cause probably forever splitting the warriors from the second guild as power on the server. "The Amazing" Zutto gave up the fight, Trippy too, FcKinGCunT went to Hardcore (this week), Snook and Chukundah's party joined Dynasty, Exillia and few more went in Diamond.

The week passes quickly, a new guild takes shape under the leadership of Fane, who collected one party from Neutral and FORMOZA's core.  We saw in the past that he is an experienced leader in the fight for supremacy, who, after a break of about a year, returns to lead a guild in the Battle for Supremacy, its name is Dynasty and looks very promising. Diamond is reorganizing the strategy after the last defeat, also receiving some fresh forces from Neutral, and MIDGARD is still looking for a strategy, their alliance with FORMOZA did not seem to work last week, they got only one Lord Box, so this time they will go on their own. Eventually these 3 guilds register at Castle Siege and for the first time we see a guild (Dynasty) registering signs of lord to ban a build, it took 5 weeks to see this "miracle" - a strategy to consider.

Sunday came, the invincible Hardcore Warriors are preparing a new defense, everything seems to work perfectly for them, with the number one enemy guild destroyed, and with an unprecedented victory in the last week, everything seems to be "a new walk of recreation through the land of trials" for them. 

Dynasty, to everyone's surprise, although they registered 305 signs of the lord, didn't ban any build, but from the beginning the fight seems balanced, Diamond and MIDGARD tries to keep up, Hardcore has a handicap of 3000 points but seem to recover well and and after the first hour the score is: Dynasty 4548 points, Diamond 2886 points, MIDGARD 2142 points and Hardcore has 461 points.

In this last hour, the fight for the switches seems to be disputed between the Dynasty and Diamond guilds, the ones from Hardcore are focusing on kills but it is a strategy that doesn't seem to bear fruit because enemy stamps don't fall anymore, the chaos that took over the other guilds last week now seems to be spreading over Hardcore, although they score a lot of kills, they fail to register because they are losing the fight for switches and so we enter in the last 25 minutes, the crown on No1LiveEr's head starts to shake seriously, Dynasty seem to be in control, Diamond doesn't seem to give up even though they are a little behind but they are in the defenders' position, while MIDGARD doesn't seem to matter too much. Since the beginning of this last hour, the score in the last 23 minutes is as follows: Dynasty 9510 points, Diamond 6300 points, Hardcore 4242 points, MIDGARD 3424 points.

Time passes in favor of those in Diamond who slowly recover the deficit of points and before the last 5 minutes they are on the 1st place with a very small difference of points. The fight between Dynasty and Hardcore for the crown is won by Hardcore in these last 5 minutes and those from Dynasty have one more chance to register quickly, but this does not happen and we have in the PREMIERE a guild that manages to end Hardcore's domination. 

HVMAN snatches the crown from No1LiveEr's head and can celebrate with his team the first victory on this great war, a victory that slipped through their fingers in the past, a desired victory, a hard worked victory that could not be more beautiful, a victory won in the last 15 minutes that these warriors will not forget soon. On the other side, MIDGARD, if they hadn't let their guard down and continued to fight like in the first hour, would have scored a lot more points. Dynasty: if they would've built a solid strategy based on a build-ban they could have won, anyway they had a good performance, while Hardcore although they accumulated until the end 7022 points would not have won this fight even if they had not had the disadvantage of 3000 points. There are "voices" that say that "arrogance" combined with the attempt to repeat the strategy that humiliated 3 guilds a week ago was the biggest weakness (Achilles heal) for this great guild that dominated the server from the beginning until now. These "voices" say that now they are the ones hunted by the curse, invoking the fact that the leaders of this great guild no longer understand each other, the proof being that No1LiveEr is no longer a member of the main Hardcore party and he starts to fall from top.

Was this the end of the Hardcore empire? Will Dynasty be able to fight the same without the help of FORMOZA's core players? Are we preparing for a "Diamond" era? 

The only thing that is certain is that the crown will rest on the head of the leader who has the most ardent and daring warriors, the guild most hungry after victory, with the greatest desire, will proudly hold the supremacy of the server

The guild that holds the supremacy of the server, Hardcore, led by No1LiveEr, as usual, prepared an almost perfect defense, upgraded the gates and the statues thus recovering 40% of the deficit which was not negligible (-3500 points). They started the fight being organized even from the first gates, trying to slow down the attacking guilds. The warriors of this great guild had a very difficult mission, an almost impossible one, considering last week's balanced fight.

Purge, led by Snook, the guild that launches the attack, has once again brought in 25 of the best fighters ready to shed their blood to break this glorious Hardcore domination which lasted since this server's debut, followed by Diamond led by HVMAN, a guild that failed last week to make the threshold of 2500 points , but with a good performance, especially the "Glowing" Glowa which stamped number one in the previous battle, and the guild ranked with the fourth chance, FORMOZA, under the leadership of Mamelcia, a guild that takes part in this war for the first time.

Due to the fact that we have three attacking guilds, the gates and statues fell very quickly, so, after the first 10 minutes have elapsed, the fight moves inside the castle, and the madness begins: the elves from Hardcore and Purge move amazingly, buffing, freezing, running, I can barely follow them, at the switches the fight is chaotic, Purge manages to register first, but next,  the most focused stampers seem those from Diamond who manage to register pretty fast, although HVMAN and Snook are constantly hunted by Hardcore's elves and cannons. 

The fight is spectacular, we enter the last hour of the fight, and the score is commensurate, Purge leads accumulating so far 2942 points, followed by Diamond with 2050 points accumulated, Hardcore who managed to reduce the handicap quite a lot holding 1604 points and the last were those from FORMOZA with only 200 points.

The crown switches from one end to the other of these great three leaders, Diamond takes advantage of the fierce battle between Hardcore and Purge and begins to gain precious points when they hold the Crown, while Hardcore is recovering points step by step due to the multiple kills made by RuSuLeTzZz "The Machine Gun" , Mu3rTe "The Death Bringer", "The Stunning" Mael  and BugBless "The Terror" . Purge counterattacks using its legends, "The Amazing" Zutto, "The Insane" Chukundah, "The Bloody" FKingCunt helped by MindPower and Duke. 

"Glowing" Glowa makes wonders again on the top switch and Almighty fights on a par with the other stampers for the bottom switch, so Diamond have countless chances to register, some successfully crowned, Achilles' heel for Diamond is still HVMAN which due to the fact that it was low level (297) was killed much easier than the other leaders but he still fights from peer to peer with them for The Crown.  

The fight continues to be dominated by Hardcore's countless kills slowly proposing in the first place, Diamond dominates with important minutes over the other guilds holding the crown on HVMAN's head for the longest time, they take full advantage of the fights between Hardcore and Purge, those (although we see a little chaos in their fight) seems to have the balance of the game with the cannons focused on Hardcore, being one step behind them. After we enter in the most important 30 minutes of this battle the score is: 12493 for Hardcore , Purge follows with 8192 points and currently holds the crown, Diamond accumulates 6640 points, and FORMOZA manages to accumulate 831 points and gives up this fight. 

As we approach the last 15 minutes of the game, Purge is about to overtake Hardcore but HVMAN snatches the crown from Snook's head, and Purge seems to lose clarity and morale, everything balances and when there are 6 minutes from the game the score looks like this: Hardcore 13806 points, Purge 13337 points and Diamond who still own the crown, has 9438 points. 

Everything is possible at this time, If Diamond keeps the position of defenders for another 6 minutes, they can win, if any of the other two leaders registers, will win the battle. The fight for switches seems to be dominated by Hardcore who manage to register when there are ONLY 4 minutes left in this battle and everything falls apart for Purge and Diamond, who have to settle for Lord Boxes so hard-worked, 4 for Diamond and 4 for Purge . 

Fantastic final for Hardcore in this battle, which continues to be the guild that dominates and hold the supremacy for 4 consecutive week. The warriors from Purge feel that they need to change something and start a reform, a reorganization to help them win next week, the leaders of this guild have decided to disband the guild and rebuild a new one, this is called "Neutral". Diamond were the surprise of the week, showing strength and unity, if last week they failed to cross the threshold, this week astonishing us all were on the verge of winning!

Congratulations to all for this great fight!

Hardcore started as defenders with a handicap of 2000 points, due to the fact that this great guild is undefeated, so far, and owns the castle for 3 consecutive weeks. They prepared the gates and statues again, in order to recover a little score , out of the -2000 handicap, they used mostly the same strategy that paid off for last week, all darklods on 1 switch, and on the other they put all the cannons. 

Purge, the strongest attacking guild had an incredible performance in the first part of the siege, managing to keep the advantage and even increase it sometimes, they managed to conquer the castle very quickly in this first part, much better organized than last week, and all focused on victory.

Diamond warriors also came to take part in this war and they didn't do it badly, they managed to register once, the beginning of the fight was a formidable one for them, in the first hour they had at least managed to accumulate ~ 1000 points and, also, registered once. 

The battle was balanced in the first hour between all three guilds, followed by 30 minutes in which Diamond seemed to have lost their focus, the battle being largely between Purge and HARDCORE, but, sadly, only one single star is shining like a diamond in this small guild with big aspirations (Diamonds), that star is called Glowa and he manages to shine on the switch and to confuse both guilds when registering.

We are approaching the last half hour and the balance is tilted in favor of PURGE, those from Diamond no longer seem to focus on the fight except for the "glowing" Glowa, the fight for the bottom switch was the fiercest, the crown on No1LiveEr's head starts to shake because Purge shows clarity, they are even faster when they return to the castle and register, but on the last 30 minutes Hardcore wakes up, recovers from the shock and starts to gather, they manage to approach Purge step by step and sometimes even to overtake them. There are 10 minutes left and they manage to take the lead, Purge seems demoralized, they start accusing Diamond of playing anti-game in favor of Hardcore, instead of focusing on taking the switches and everything falls apart for them.

Diamond did a nice fight at the beginning and their major weakness was just another stamper, one like Glowa to be able to register more often, also HVMAN needs to take care of set or build cause he died few times and that is achile's heal for a guild. 

Purge made 13223 points and received 4 free lord boxes, that's really good, thinking that Hardcore can have max 7 Lord Boxes. 

As for the invincibles from HARDCORE, they keep the crown on No1LiveEr's head, hardly, but they have succeeded, this guild remained undefeated on Castle Siege and continue to hold the supremacy of Inception , they won the chance to do 7 lord box (if for those in Purge they were free, HC has to pay the price of 30b / 30s / 30jog and 1kkk zen per day) but they also benefit from the invaluable antiques that will fall at their feet for another 7 consecutive days, and will also benefit from the spot that will propel them to the top.

Many questions arose as a result of this epic battle, but I will reveal only the most relevant ones: 

Did Diamond really helped HARDCORE? They finished with 1800 points and if they did this they certainly didn't do it for free, giving up the remaining 700 points to get a Lord Box so what HARDCORE promised to them if the rumors that come from Purge are right? 

The Next Castle Siege will probably be played in the exp stage, Purge will recover even more from the resets and HARDCORE will start with a disadvantage of 3500 points, will they be able to continue to keep the crown on No1LiveErs head? 

Will FORMOZA actually come to fight? They didn't show up last Sunday, they don't want top items with 3 Opts? 

Due to the fact that I heard many  "voices" from Purge saying that Diamond helped HARDCORE, I went in game to investigate and tried to obtain the answers for the questions that players can give, got in contact with HVMAN's party member  and No1LiveEr's and that is what I received : 

Reporter : "Hello, guys (referring to HVAMAN's party) " 

TaleSp1N :" Hello" 

Reporter:" Did you helped HARDCORE last CS?" 

TaleSp1N: "No, we didn't, we prefer Purge to win, but we won't help any team, everyone for himself ,we work hard to win for our self and we did  good! 

Then I went to No1lveEr's party: 

Reporter:" Hello, guys, how do you comment the rumors that Diamond helped you to win this fight?"

RuSuLeTzZz : "If that rumor is true .. then the fact that Trippy stole from Collison ( his guild mate ) , Chukundah is a scammer and pk his guild mate Manyak , Oklahoma stole all items from Snajper .. are all false. Cheers!"

Now I wait as a reply to this article the pro and contra arguments from PURGE, DIAMOND and HARDCORE, OR EVEN FORMZA!

Purge, the sleepy giant, did not seem too affected by this defeat, the warriors of this guild continuing to "sleep peacefully" on the spots, moreover a good part of the warriors of this guild, the Polish people went to build another guild.

A new power seems to reappear on OldSquad, its name is FORMOZA. And I say "reappear" because there are many rumors about these warriors, some say that Mamelcia is the great ProBSB, the GROM legendary Guild Master who wants to forget the glorious past with a shameful end for his guild and to reborn, like a Phoenix, a strong guild to fight for Castle Siege, (when all the people admired GROM power and their Castle Siege organization some of these warriors started to use cheats and were banished by ADMIN from the server). 

It's Saturday and normally, an important Castle Siege is about to be contested , a siege after which all powerful master guilds can benefit from the most important items, those dropped from Lord Box , but by this time while I'm writing the article the PURGE guild isn't registered yet, would last week's defeat have been too painful for the "sleepy warriors"? It's the first Castle Siege with Lord Box, aren't they interested in this reward? Or will they join those in FORMOZA? All these questions will be answered tomorrow, of course.

So this Castle Siege started without any defensive guild,  (there is no point in trying to understand why, or even trying to explain because...) but that was the beginning of the episode 1,  so in this first episode (secondary) these two guilds participated: Hardcore (guild that dominated Phoenix) and PURGE (a guild with deep roots that sprout from the legendary Guild Squadron) - the fight was balanced, from beginning to end, a fight as can rarely be seen on any MuOnline servers, those in Hardcore had the advantage of the top five players who dominate the server in the rankings from day one. We can also call them "the dominant party of this server start, because they chose/tested, and managed to find the perfect starting combination and lead the server start with ~2 resets ahead before this CS start", and those in PURGE who had the unity advantage. Those both guilds are build up by the strongest OldSquad players, they know each other inside those guilds because they used to play together for years ...

So the fight was cruel, a great fight, a fight in which each warrior gave his best, or at least tried, from beginning to end the balance was tilted surprising to "some" towards PURGE, the PURGE CAVALRY did wonders same as  the organization of this guild, which, although was previously dominated on all levels by those from Hardcore (rankings invasions, etc.). Despite that, they slightly dominate those in Hardcore, with better organization. At the crown, No1LiveEr failed to press the button due to congestion of enemies, at switches cavalry of PURGE MAKES MIRACLES !! 

We enter the last 10 minutes of this great battle and everything is at the limit, a little balanced in favor of the PURGE, it's the time when the Hardcore warriors begin to recover from dizziness, to regroup and start to attack Snook at the crown with all their top dmg dealers. Well.. Snook was knocked down by Endorphin's damage and Hardcore seems to won a lot of precious time, but Snook returns inside the castle, this strategy seems to make a difference, but he returns quickly and regains the crown. Hardcore comes back fast and recovers it, everything is dizzying, Purge returns, registers, but it's too late ... this battle ends and those in Hardcore celebrate a victory! What a VICTORY !! A victory at ONLY 510 points difference! 

This fight for supremacy seems to continue in favor of Hardcore, it's true, they have won due in large part to the 5 players who are in the top of the server, but also a victory that raises a big alarm for them, they need a little better team-play in the battles that follow if they want to keep the castle, on the other hand the PURGE did an extraordinary job, facing and even dominating Hardcore even with 2 resets less than the main Hardcore party, they did it more 'cause of the unity and better organization !

Now it is the time to go back to the beginning of this article, or rather to Episode 1, was this first fight really pointless? If, without being arrogant, the people from PURGE would've took the first castle "for free" the result now would have been the same? They would have had the advantage of the defenders... but what if Hardcore would've lost this fight? Would have they been so arrogant as to ignore the advantage they were offered for free as defenders? (of course, if they would have took the castle last week)

Near the end of this article, I wonder what the other two top guilds would have lost? What would GameZONE and Diamond have lost if they participated? Were all these warriors too busy last Sunday? Or do you think that the fight for supremacy is not worth the effort ... not even as an exercise, or maybe even for these two promising guilds it is not worth the effort? Who knows? I am convinced that time will give us the answer to these questions. 

In the end I will congratulate the whole gang of the new leader of the server: No1LiveEr and I will also congratulate Snook's gang, you have made an unforgettable fight that will always remain written with the blood of all fighters inside NewsPaper.

There are many rumors around the server, some "voices" say that the top guilds have rebelled, thus protesting against Admin on this Castle Siege which "has no value", of course, the first questions that came through my mind were: "Really like that? It doesn't have ANY VALUE at all?" Let's just say it doesn't matter for Hardcore, some "bad mouths" say about them that they are too proud cause of their success on Phoenix and they think that nothing can bring them down even here on this new Inception because they have a strong core, other voices say that they do not want to lose the advance in top that they've got until now, again, my mind went CRAZY, REALLY ? 2 HOURS???? their main party has 1 full reset in front of PURGE's main party!!!!!!! What about the Purge Warriors? They lost, this start, a bit ground vs Hardcore but they seem strong enough to cause serious bleeding wounds to those in Hardcore , well they didn't show up and the "bad mouths" say that they are too proud due to the success of the last Inception, also they say that even if they would show up they would have being wiped out by those from Hardcore (we will never find that out now, will we?).

There are experienced fighters in these two guilds, fighters who have held supremacy in the past, so let's say it seems understandable for them but what excuse would those from Diamond have had? A new guild, with active  players, they didn't show up on the battlefield either. What is their explanation? Do they already have enough experience that they do not need organization and training? They don't want to start this new database at the helm of the server? All they had to do was show up in the last 40 minutes and register the seal ... 

Pride, fame and pvp fun seem to have been defeated by ambition and "hunger for exp" or maybe it was simply a coalition of the three guilds in which to protest, but if it was a real protest shouldn't the Protestants have shown up there? Or maybe they are afraid of The Curse... who knows those days everything can happen. I say "those days" because in past a fight for Castle would not be ignored that easy even if there was no reward at all! 

I also received malicious private messages that said that now I have nothing to write about ... well, look, I  can write articles about NOTHING! I don't like it but the articles are not written by me but by the actions of the top players! 

In conclusion, I would like to remind these warriors that most of them are old players who once enjoyed a simple victory and the fun was enough then! 

I hope that you ended up well in the fight against Gollock !

There is much to tell about this past server, a server in which the fight for supremacy was dominated by Squadron, one of the oldest guilds who won the first three Castle Sieges without any enemy to offer significant resistance , Squadron is a guild that is legendary on OldSquad (here you can find a short history about this guild -> https://oldsquad.ro/forum/topic/3732-the-history-of-squadron/ ). Also, in this debut, some of the Squadron warriors left the guild after internal quarrels and started building a new guild (Rampage): they gather players from the server and manage to win 3 battles in a row, but, surprising us all, then fell prey to the terrifying Curse that has haunted the Castle for decades and never seems to rest. After these three great victories, they were defeated countless times on Inception by Squadron (a more unite and experienced guild), and the brave warriors had to dissolve this guild and rebuild it under a new name -> HARDCORE. They showed us all on Phoenix # 2 that they can measure up to any guild by taking revenge defeating Squadron countless times (some say they were so strong on Phoenix that they forced Squadron to give up the game early enough). Two other guilds shone on the last Inception, ATTACK and PlayBoys, these guilds joined forces to dominate the server end successfully succeeding.

These were the guilds that came out in the spotlight on the last Inception, a data base in which we had drama, victory, disappointment, betrayal/dirty moves, rebirth and ambition, you can read the whole story in NewsPaper by accessing the  following link (please read the chapters in order) : https://oldsquad.ro/forum/forum/176-oldsquad-newspaper/page/2/  

Another "recent" piece of history: https://oldsquad.ro/forum/topic/3344-hof-edition-13-september-2019-25-may-2020/

You can see there the whole Hall of Fame.

This has been the history, but now, looking at the present with my thoughts on the future, I hope to see past great guilds fighting for supremacy, (some voices say that Squadron and Hardcore are already forming their parties and working on their starting strategies, testing everything that can be tested and preparing a stormy start) and I still hope to see at least one more guild that can compete with these two forces! I hope to have a fair and balanced Castle Siege, a fight for supremacy like never seen before !!

That being said, your Reporter wishes you thons of success and may The Curse stay away from your path in this new Inception rebirth! 

PS : If you don't know yet, whether you are a top hinting player or just a casual player, take your time and read all the information that will help you understand how this server works at the next link: https://oldsquad.ro/forum/forum/89-info-rules/

OneSteppy, guild that held the supremacy of the server for its first time, a guild that seems to be growing and that is focusing on recruiting all active players, (they manage to recruit people even from Hardcore last week), prepare the defense, managing to gather a large number of players, organizing about 4 parties. Some "voices" told me that they were 21 players but 3 of them were afk, most of the time.  

On the other side, Hardcore, the guild that dominated this data base winning most of the battles for Supremacy, starts as attackers. Fewer and weaker than ever, they barely managed to gather only 10 or 11 warriors, ("voices" told me that at the start of the battle. They were only 9 at that moment) and give the impression of throwing themselves blindly in a battle without odds for win.

The fight begins, Hardcore "unleashed" the attack, a pale attack, an attack in which they are massacred inside the castle, but they do not seem affected at all and continue, they manage to register several times and make some points.. The only warrior who seem to shine, from Hardcore, is "The magnificent" Crucify who knocks down everyone in his path including BedeJutro who was slayed 2-3 times by him. But everything seems lost for Hardcore, mafy dies continuously every time he gets near the crown and tries to register, we approach the last half hour and the ones from OneSteppy are almost preparing to celebrate a new victory. Tokyo "The Slayer", Voymax "The Brave" and "The Lethal"  Incubus  were the protagonists of this massacre, making rivers of blood flow in the throne room , and it seems like the easiest victory is already there for them because everything seems to be played, they lead with a huge difference points, at 18:22 the score was 10594 vs 3484 in their favor.

Hardcore manage to record and this is the moment when the people from RISE decide to take part in the battle, and, man.. they did it, but they didn't attack to win points or to try to conquer the throne. Driven by anger and hatred they take part in this fight just to hit the OneSteppy guild, so they join on Hardcore side and starts helping them by preventing  OneSteppy from registering. We enter the last half of hour and OneSteppy starts to lose precious points, they try to stay in the lead of the fight by making multiple kills and trying to move RISE warriors from  switches, but they fall in to the dark and  after they were on the wave believing that nothing can stop them from keeping the castle for another week, they start to feel helpless, because the victory starts to be threatened.. The time passes, they struggle, they try but they seem lost, confused, watching, as the time goes by, how the huge difference of points they had is getting smaller and smaller, the crown on BedeJutro's head starts to shake. 

Time flies and eventually Hardcore wins an unexpected battle with the help that some of the guild members did not want, because in past they lost the castle weeks in a row in exactly the same way, even if they dominated the fights back then, they were defeated by dirty anti-games and unfair-play strategies, they won this fight and put the crown back on mafy's head but this time the crown looks stained with dirty blood, an unexpected victory won without being fully deserved.

This week I asked here and there about what happened. What made these warriors, who in the past fought on the same side, in the same guild, hate each other so much now? The first answers came from Snook and I will write down a part of the small discussion with him bellow :

Reporter: " Hello! What really happened between you, guys, and OneSteppy? How did you end up here as "the worst enemies" ?" 

Snook : "Hello! Well, I like to think that we are the "worst enemies" because we are really good at what we're doing , especially when someone's pissing us off. What happened is that we didn't want to play with guys that think they are good when the competition is done. Stepy is a guild wihthout any principles or character." 

Reporter: "Are they worst than Hardcore?"

Snook : "Well, you can’t really compare a guild with history on the server with a mixture of random players, even though so many from HC stopped playing, also I'm pretty sure some were happy that I did  , while others probably hated it completely. We didn't do it for them "

I went forward with investigation and asked ncux from OneSteppy about their point of view : 

ncux :" Snook was in our guild with Venom, and he was afk all the time, focusing only for lvling up, we were always asking for his help during the fights for bosses like Selupan or Medusa and he never came, Tokyo and others started a conversation about why we need those kind of players in guild, who just ask for items but never helps, so Snook left and he asked all ppl who wants to join his new guild so Waste, DarknesSBK and FKinGCunT left following him, mostly because now they are fully geared and they do not want to help low lvl guys from our guild. They are led by the principle " when you are strong you want to be in a top guild but you don't care about the newbie members" "  

At the beginning of this week, another important moment was the start of a war between OneSteppy and Hardcore, a war that seems to never end and that makes the safe zones from Vulcanus or Swamp to become more populated than ever, a war that hold the time in one place for these guilds because they hunt each other day and night, and if some of the players try to take refuge, going afk through safe locations they are chased by enemies and if they can't be killed, secondary characters are left on them to slow their exp down.
 

As I write this article I see some guilds that have already registered Sign of lord, is it an attempt of Hardcore or Rise to prevent OneSteppy from taking part in the fight on Sunday?

Will OneSteppy have the strength to return to the battle? Will they accumulate enough points to be able to participate?(it is already Friday and they can register only tomorrow but they cannot add Signs of Lord anymore)

Time passed, the fights for the Big Bosses given in these two weeks were divided, in the mornings the ones from Hardcore managed to defeat most of these bosses (because they didn't have opponents), but in the evening the ones from OneSteppy dominated most of those fights. Sunday finally came and a new battle was preparing to be written with a lot of blood in the pages of Phoenix's history by these brave warriors.

Hardcore, in the position of server leaders, although they suffered stinging defeats at Medusa or Selupan, and even if they seemed dejected all week, they begin to gather their active warriors and form parties, they bring inside the castle about 15  fighters and prepare the defensive. They do not seem to be interested in upgrading gates or statues (later, I found out the reason, in the last fights they were demolished before the first 15 minutes so their upgrade would have been useless because only after the first 15 minutes of the game holding the castle matters).

On the other side, the ones from OneSteppy, having the boosted moral given by the small victories accumulated during the week, are preparing the attack, again, without using any strategy that would imply blocking a build, but still having an advantage of 2000 points, and very good morale, unleashes the attack. It's a balanced fight, it's like a clash of two tornadoes, both guilds give their best, the crown switches from mafy's head to BedeJutro's every 5 minutes. Both guilds are focusing only on the attack, and they don't seem to concentrate enough in defense, that's how the minutes go and everything is balanced, although the middle of the battle seems to be dominated by those in OneSteppy who manage to kill mafy many times, thus gaining precious points. Towards the end of the game, the people from Hardcore seem more lucid and start to gain ground .. but not enough to win. 

Related to Squadron, not all the active players moved to OneSteppy, some of them made a new guild called Raise and I saw last days some of them helping Hardcore on bosses, even though everything seemed ok inside the Squadron, it seems that different interests and quarrels made these players split into these two guilds. Although we saw RISE players last two weeks helping OneSteppy, last week those brave warriors won by their own forces . Surely time will tell us the answers to these questions that arise after these moves on the chessboard of Phoenix leaders  :

Will the RISE guild decide to attack the castle independently? Will they build a guild that is competitive?

Will the OneSteppy guild receive support from their former comrades?

Will Hardcore be able to return to supremacy? (if it wasn't the 2000 point penalty they would win but with a small difference of points)

As I did on last article, I will end the article with the top 10 best killers of the week, led by Tokyo, the M.V.P of the last Castle Siege,  and the achievements of the 2 guild masters mafy and BedeJutro the newest leader of the server. 

Squadron and WIGGLE are preparing the attack, another week in which none of the attacking guilds doesn't register enough Signs of Lord to block a build, anyway,  the time of the great event is approaching, their parties are forming and the siege begins. 

Attacking guilds quickly break down all obstacles in their path and the fight begins, Hardcore have a disadvantage of 2000 points, but they resist in this beginning of the war for glory, Hardcore start to take small steps backwards, they are close to successfully register  but they lose the switches and Wiggle registers. Hardcore players seem lost as if they were taken out of the game, they woke up with difficulty and in the meantime the only ones who seem to face Squadron are the Wiggles, towards the end Squadron have a huge points advantage over the other two guilds but neither of them give up, they want points, they want rewards and they want to continue this fight even if everything seems to be already played.

Squadron easily wins the fight for supremacy this week even if they did not expect to be that easy, but you can already see and feel the power of Wiggle on the server and Hardcore seem to have already given up the need to be a dominant guild with 4 battles won and three defeats versus Squadron, are they torn by the curse again? They don't seem to have the strength to fight side by side with Squadron and for the first time Hardcore finishes the fight on the third place, being defeated by Squadron and surpassed by Wiggle in points... on the other side Wiggle seem set on an enduring battle with these great guilds, they managed to finish this fight on the second place and from one week to another they are getting stronger, will they finally succeed in conquering the Castle? Will it be their era after all? Who else can reveal this secret to us than time.... ?

Related to the fight for supremacy, Hardcore lost the castle but dominated the week, Selupan and Medusa were launched this week and the battle for these wonderful rewards that can be obtained by knocking down the great bosses were taken in proportion of 80% by those in Hardcore, the fight for every boss is cruel and won with a lot of sweat, but, so far, Hardcore seem to set the tone, but it's not a rule, because they were already overwhelmed at Castle Siege and because Squadron, a guild that seems to be devoid of the core (there are rumors that the main core players have already abandoned the "ship") managed to conquer the Castle and Trippy is again the demigod of the server.

Will Squadron manage to equalize? Will Wiggle be able to take advantage of the weaknesses of the other dominant guilds? A few hours separate us from all these answers ...

Although I told a lot, the essence comes after this castle siege for the first time, this Sunday we have another major event, the first edition of the Soccer Night will start this evening and there are over 35 registered players and the Elves and Summoners are already shaking to have an autograph with the hottest Super Star !!!

Go register before is to late : https://oldsquad.ro/forum/topic/3854-soccer-night-1-07062020/page/2/?tab=comments#comment-33553

The fight has started, Hardcore and Wiggle unleashed the attack, Squadron in the position of defenders resisted well in the first hour of this fight, Wiggle did well also, they scored points, they counted in the start but the madness was unleashed immediately after the first hour of fight, which, by the way, was also the hour when guild leaders usually are concentrated in the consolidating or adapting strategies. But, as I said, the time for probing ended and now the bloody show with the Hardcore in the foreground begins.

mafy successfully registers and Hardcore becomes the Defender, then focuses all their "cannons" on Trippy, and when he is shot down they quickly move them cannons at Slawomir, these two Guild Masters are frozen or stunned and then KOed one by one, whenever they try to register the seal, by "The magnificent" Crucify ( THE MVP of this Castle Siege). RuSuLeTzZz, "The Machine Gun", and Makiavelli, "The Ripper". These mercilessly warriors, after finishing the enemy Guild Masters, are slaughtering all the remaining enemies inside the Throne Room. These brave warriors were also assisted by the 4 elves: Shadyska EE, WhoAmI, xSOFIAx and Maria, who behaved exemplary, managing to freeze Trippy and Slawomir almost every time they were registering.

Squadron, did not give up and fought until the end, even if at the end of this Castle Siege they were forced to bow their heads and kneel, again, in front of Hardcore, being defeated by a difference of over 8000 points, "The amazing" Zutto, accompanied by "The mighty" BBwojownik, "The Insane" Chukundah and Voymax "The Brave", were highlighted by the multiple kills made, as for Wiggle, they managed to gather only 4908 points at this Castle Siege, and the following warriors stood out: TzakTzak, Xeroo and Nephilim who close the top 10 killers. 

The warriors from Hardcore manage to sit mafy back on this most desired throne and together, at the end of this castle siege, they celebrate a victory that, although it seemed easy, was not one without sweat.

After this Castle Siege, unexpected strange things happened. Squadron and Wiggle disbanded, related to Squadron, there are rumors on the server (coming from Hardcore side) that say they were so humiliated after this defeat that they disbanded the guild. I started a little investigation in which I found out that this disband was not spontaneous, that the end of this great guild on Phoenix # 2 was planned for some time, the reasons being that a large part of the "old" players from the core of this guild had quit game for some time, also some old players like Chukundah have quit game right after this Castle Siege. But as always, from the grave of a great guild another one is born, so, this new guild named OneSteppy, under the command of BedeJutro, comes to life, and BedeJutro starts to recruit all the active former Squadron players and the ones that quit Wiggle. 

This week, I had a short discussion with "The Amazing" Zutto in which I found out that, although he is not currently in any guild, he has not given yet his last combo on the battlefield called Valley of Loren and will follow his Polish friends in the new guild that seems to gather all the remaining forces on the server to challenge Hardcore .

The following questions arise after these unexpected moves on the chessboard of the leader of this server who is fighting for supremacy:

Will the OneSteppy team manage to make a team in such a short time that will be able to put those in Hardcore in difficulty this week?

Did Hardcore learn from the past and will they take the next fight seriously?

Cerberus:"  I actually stole this nickname many years ago.. My first Season2 server that i've played (i think it was around 2008-2009) with some friends, there was this russian or ukrainian guy (i think, not sure) with a MG char called Cerberus. So this guy left the server after some time and gave the MG to my friends to play with it. So from that moment started my passion for MG (my fav char :D) and i started using that nickname most of the time when i play MG. The meaning of the name, copied from wiki: "often referred to as the hound of Hades, is a multi-headed dog that guards the gates of the Underworld to prevent the dead from leaving"

These are the first 30 meanings of the nicknames of the players I found online, in this way I invite all readers of the newspaper to give a reply and tell us the story of your name, I will edit all these stories in the article!

The morning starts to be pale because the noon begins to make its presence known, in Lorencia you can feel the first signs of the preparations for the magnificent war, the warriors are queuing up at Dopple, they want to reach the maximum capacity of their force at any cost. They try to charm their vital buffs to help them be victorious. I move on with the research and clock already rings 15:00: all brave heroes went to Elbeland, it is an overcrowded city at this moment, the great warriors trade their equipment, they look for their best weapons and combinations and they prepare hardly for the great battle, the battle yet to come ... 

Time passes quickly, the last hour of preparations comes, warriors are starting to merge in CryWolf, teams from Squadron and Wiggle are starting to form and everyone is eagerly waiting for the hour of battle. 

Squadron and Wiggle start the fight with the attackers advantage for the second week in a row, with 2000 points ahead, and with the chance to block a build, a chance that neither of the guilds took advantage of, as if they are too confident in their chances to care about "such details".
On the other hand, Hardcore meticulously prepares everything, upgrades the gates and the stone statues in the Valley of Loren and everyone is focused on what is to come, waiting for their "prey" to join the fight.

The clock strikes 5:00 PM, the fighters bravely advance into the valley and the fight begins.
Squadron and Wiggle fight and successfully destroy the gates and statues, relatively easy, and get inside the castle, Hardcore regroups and the massacre begins.

It's unbelievable, Wiggle is starting to matter in this war although they don't have enough strength, they are confident in their power and chances, they fight side by side with both guilds, they do anything to win, if not to take the castle at least to make precious points in this fight for supremacy and finally to take part of the treats. 

As for the great guilds fighting for supremacy, Hardcore seems to laugh in their path, they seem to have found the recipe for success because the incredible Crucify crushes everything in his path, knocking down Trippy so many times as if his defense didn't even exist in front of this great fighter , Squadron, humiliated, is starting the riot, although they deliberately gave up some territory, get behind Hardcore with 3000 points and only the first hour and 15 minutes of the fight passed. 

Squadron starts to catch up and to get organized, they manage to create chaos inside Hardcore, and slightly reduce the handicap... we approach the last half hour and everything starts to take shape, Wiggle although they have collected some points, they seem to step aside. Squadron attacks like a hurricane, Hardcore is based on dmg dealers and the throne room turns into a Slaughterhouse. Squadron manage to close the gap and they are dangerously close to win. But Crucify knocks down Trippy again, Makiavelli and RuSuLeTzZz, "the summoner machine gun", slaughter everyone in their path. However, Squadron manage to maintain the balance, it is a tiny difference and they manage to register. There are only 2 minutes left in the game, Squadron is very close, the ones from Hardcore seem confused, time passes quickly and it is the premiere for OldSquad, Hardcore winning by an unbelievable small difference:  20555 points for Hardcore vs 20340 on the part of those in Squadron. 

Hardcore wins and despite internal fights they manage to organize themselves so as to reduce the handicap and take advantage, on the other hand Squadron seem stunned especially from Crucify`s lethal hits and now they seem to be hit by The Curse, although they had the advantage of receiving the game for free, they failed to take advantage of it and were again brought to their knees by Hardcore. The score at this moment is 4-2 in favor of Hardcore, which seems invincible.

I said earlier that Squadron was hit by the curse, well, because other scandals arise related to the members of this guild, there are voices that say they should be ashamed because again they stole items from guild members ( Collision was suddenly undressed) and there are voices from Hardcore accusing Chukundah of scam (these voices say that  RuSuletzZz would have wanted to buy lvl 3 wings for credits from Chukundah and Chukundah accepted although he did not gave the wings after he received the credits)

Leaving aside the gossip and scandals, all the merits to WIGGLE who are making the battle much more interesting. They have collected 6k+ points and I am convinced that in the future they will be a force to be reckoned with in this fight! 

Inception, a server born from the passion of ADMIN for this game, had a long life of 254 days, that means over 8 months that kept us all connected and reminded us of the old style game-play, just like every server launched by Admin does it, bounds friendships, restores past friendships making it possible for players who played together 10-15 years ago on servers with high difficulty to meet again and bring back emotions and memories full of nostalgia. 

It was an intense server with tight battles for supremacy, there are XVlll chapters from The Curse "Back to Origins " written in the NewsPaper section. The News Paper reached a record on number of views, there were intense fights in the written lines of the players who moved the fight from the game on the forum and in chapters VII and XlV I was afraid that Admin will have to call the firemen to prevent the flames on the forum from burning to the ground the whole editorial office!

The Curse "Back to Origins " aroused the interest of the players whom I want to thank in this way for appreciation but also for criticism !! 

It was a sad day, since Inception got to its end, but I am convinced that when it will come back to life in September-October period will bring us again the fun and will have even more fun then on this edition. Lets make MU great AGAIN together, guys and, enjoy playing Phoenix #2 until then!

As a great edition of Inception is over, I will end this article by letting Gion to share his views and experience about this server: 

Gion : "Hello, ladies and gentlemen ! First of all, it is an honor for me to have the word, especially the last word. It is an honor talking about Inception, it is an honor having you around and I think that I am very, very lucky to be a part of this and to be able to get to know you. Again, our community, powered by you, was "on top of the chain", breaking lots of records, from the number of online players, to the Castle Siege fights and to the OSGM Events. We had the opportunity to see top players, top strategies and not only. We saw new players rising and shining on the highest level, tho we saw empires crushing. "Curses", drama, hard work and even envy. We had a little bit of all. We learned a lot, and not only by technical means, but we learned a lot about each other and I hope and I also know that this will help us in the future, in terms of a higher quality community, as a whole.

Special thanks to ADMIN and Reporter, they were the sparkle that lighted up everything !

Thank you very much and we are looking forward to meet again !

Best regards,

OldSquad Team "

Squadron started as defenders, confident in their breasts although they had some important absences, with the gates and crystals upgraded, they tried to gain valuable time by defending the castle from the first gates, they tried to divide the Hardcore warriors by opening the gates and closing them continuously. Hardcore does not seem shocked by these maneuvers because the same tactics was used last week, they managed to destroy the gates and crystals in about 13 minutes and the fight moves inside the most desired Castle.

The fight is tight, Hardcore and Squadron fight as if they are at the same level of power, whenever one of the guilds loses the position of defenders they return quickly and register, so the first hour of the fight passes and the score is easy in favor of Hardcore, who started with a advantage of 2000 points and they could've make it bigger if they would've blocked a build, but for unknown reasons they didn't used this advantage. A party from Wiggle joins the fight after this first hour, although the guild seems to be starting to take shape, only a few warriors came, probably for pvp fun. 

The intense fight between Squadron and Hardcore continues, we are approaching the last 30 minutes and it seems that Squadron has started to reduce the handicap, the trophy is on the table, nothing seems lost for either of the two great guilds, if last week the elves from Squadron brought a great added value, seriously destabilizing Hardcore attacks and making them terribly difficult, this week without their ice arrow, Squadron seem tired, as if they don't have enough breath to fight 2 hours intensely. They start to lose ground and the fight ends with a fabulous score for those in Hardcore 17404 points vs only 14358 for those from Squadron, the guild that was affected by the lack of skilled elves, they gave the impression that they lost their balance, at least at the end of this battle.

Hardcore guild is on the wave again and mafy is crowned, reaching the highest level of pride and glory, he is now the leader of the guild that holds the supremacy on the server at this moment. After this epic and glorious win for Hardcore, there are rumors that The Curse strikes this great guild again because some important members are starting to leave the guild, again there are quarrels in this guild which, although it now holds the supremacy, fails to keep the top players inside.

On the other side, Squadron bleeds hardly and now they lick their wounds like bleeding dogs, but I am convinced that they will return with greater ambition and they are already preparing for a new fight. A fight that promises a lot of action and new strategies.

Regarding Wiggle, I hope to see them in greater numbers on the battlefield this Sunday , the rewards are important for all participating guilds, if they manage to collect enough points to unlock them

Will Hardcore win again next week? Will they be able to defend the precious Castle? Will Squadron come back stronger this week? 

These are the main questions for the end of this week. 

News Paper presents you THE SUPERSTARS  from all classes at this moment on Phoenix #2 : 

Dark Lord Most Wanted rankings : No 1 on this ranking is taken by the leader of Hardcore, mafy !!! He has at this moment 10053 views and with this score he becomes THE MOST WANTED NO 1 PLAYER ON PHOENIX #2 SERVER, at least for the moment!

Magic Gladiator Most Wanted rankings : In this class, the number one is Makiavelli, he is one of the most "followed" player on OldSquad, occupying no 2 on general views rankings, he managed to accumulate 9876 views, and he is followed at a considerable distance by Exilia, who managed to gather 3485 views and on the 3rd place in this ranking is BBwojownik, our top number one Kileer an Castle Siege, and he was viewed 1803 times. 

Soul Master Most Wanted rankings: Snook dominates this class on this "unwritten ranking", he is a top player who came out of Hardcore and joined Squadron, he and his party were always on the leading places for a long time, he is in the top 10 general rankings and he managed to obtain 2415 views. The next in this top is BugBless a player who seems to have given up the game one or two weeks ago, however he currently remains on the 2nd place with 2143 views ! On the 3rd place in this class is Mu3rTe, with 1780 views .

Blade Knight Most Wanted rankings : This class is dominated by Zutto, who managed get no1 on this ranking being the most wanted Blade Knight. Zutto achieved, until now, 3960 views, he is followed closely by RedBuLL with 3903 views and on the 3rd place is Fofiter who managed to get, so far, 1685 views. 

Muse Elf Most Wanted rankings: This Class is dominated by Oklahoma, even that he is ranked second on main rankings in this class, Oklahoma managed to garner so far 1821 views, he is followed by ShaDyzzka, who, although owns 1st place at the moment on general reset rankings with a pretty big advantage over Oklahoma.  ShaDyzzka managed to gather, so far, 1296 views. On the 3rd place in this most wanted class is JoliGarcon, who managed to gather 1196 views. 

Summoner Most Wanted rankings: No 1 most wanted Summoner at this moment is RuSuLeTzZz (a player that started this data base as a Blade Knight, but recently changed his class to Summoner). He dominates this ranking with 4118 views. RuSuLeTzZz is followed by Chukundah, who achieved 2918 views and no 3 Most Wanted Summoner is BabaJaga with 772 views .

Those are the most checked players on Phoenix#2 at this moment, and, as you can see, most of those TOP PLAYERS are not ranked number one on their class, they are the most wanted players because they are respected and they have an important role in the battle for supremacy or in events. This is the reason for their views, they are checked by all other players each day, most of the players from our community are checking their items, their levels, because they want to obtain info about items, where they are leveling, etc. !!! 

Congrats to all our SUPERSTARS, keep up the good work you are doing!

On the other side, Hardcore, with the "fresh blood", received recruiting Dynasty warriors, organizes like never before, 5 minutes before the start of the battle parties seemed ready in CryWolf and from the first minute they besiege the castle gates, the destruction of the gates and crystals lasts about 20 minutes and the siege of the castle begins .

Squadron has a solid core, they were impeccable in organization in the fight for registering the seal, they managed to move mafy (iced) a few times in the corners , JoliGarcon and SupremeAE managed to freeze everything in their way. Squadron's elves are at least one game play level above ShaDyzka's and Maria's, who did try but failed to rise to the level of their opponents. And, as for the hold of switches, if in the first two fights Squadron had difficulties, now they evolved and are getting better and better in this regard, maybe last week were even better than Hardcore.

Hardcore, although they had some weak points in terms of their Elves with Ice Arrow, and they start to lose ground on holding switches, they started to count more on kills: Makiavelli, RuSuLeTzZz,No1Liv3r and RedBuLL were pure killing machines and above all, Crucify was incredible. 

Squadron tried to balance the killing points, even if str MG was banned, without their lethal weapon called BBwojownik,  they counted on the other top pvp damage dealers: Zutto, as always, was top number one holder and the best Blade Knight on kills, Voymax , Alex, Chukundah, FKinGCunT did also a good pvp fight. 

The fight was tight, it was balanced, but Squadron was always one step ahead of Hardcore and the result at the end of this battle was 15918 at 12506 in Squadron's favor and  they managed to match those from Hardcore and, so far, the global score between these top guilds on Phoenix #2 domination is 2: 2 . Hardcore seemed refreshed and I am convinced that they will do better and better as time bounds the friendship between the players that are playing together at this moment but in past were enemies.

Tomorrow Squadron starts with a deficit of 2000 points and Hardcore has again the advantage to ban a build, I am convinced that we will see another battle for Supremacy  that will remain printed in our memory for a long time.

Squadron and Dynasty fought heroically with the gates and with Hardcore defenders until the last gate and the last crystal were destroyed and then both guilds were thrown with all their might into the castle, it was a real slaughter, warriors from all sides fell but rose stronger, with a greater desire to fight. Squadron manages to record, Hardcore returns to the throne room and the fight continues, finally they managed to get their hands on the crown again, but something is no longer connected in the defense of Hardcore and they could not manage to keep the crown on mafy's hea as long as last time. Dynasty seems lost all this time, they don't have enough strength to fight these colossal guilds but they don't step back that easy. 

Time passes and Squadron starts to have a small advantage, they manage to hold the crown longer than in the past and achieve many points from kills. Hardcore seems not to have that breath from the first two weeks and no strength to return, they manage to take the crown a few times but lost it relatively quickly. We enter the last thirty minutes and Squadron have a consistent advantage, but Hardcore manages to record, now it is the decisive moment, they must keep the crown as long as possible. Squadron returns to the offensive more determined than ever and Trippy registers, there are a few more minutes left, Hardcore also registers, but it is too late, the match is played and the difference in points is too big, they lose their confidence, Squadron takes the crown again easily and for the first time on Phoenix, Trippy is crowned, Squadron wins the fight for supremacy and proves once again that it is an united guild, a great guild that once again manages to crown its leader on the highest step of the server. The final score was 21388 at 14090, the gap was made in last 30 minutes, but fight was really balanced until then.

Hardcore won first two battles for supremacy managing the defense very good, but this time they couldn't keep the crown that much and that was the thing that pushed the balance in Squadron's favor, something in switches' defensive was also wrong, plus Trippy didn't died that many times as in past. 

The curse seems to attack this guild again, I say that because a few days after this terrible defeat, Hardcore is starting to lose important players, there are rumors that again the internal struggles make the Moldovans leave the guild, so it seems that the balance on the server is broken and Squadron will dominate the server again for weeks, but Hardcore made an interesting move, although in the past they were enemies, they manage to absorb the most important players including the leader of the Dynasty guild.
Do these moves on the chessboard made Hardcore rebuild again and leave next Sunday with a second chance to fight for supremacy? Have they made the right decision? Will they be able to win the battle for supremacy again? Will the fans of Dynasty bring the added value that Hardcore needs?

We will see the answers to these questions on Sunday, on the battlefield!

I end this article by congratulating Squadron for this victory and last, but not least, congrats to all the participants to Castle Siege! I lived intensely from the position of Reporter these fierce battles! I hope we still have a lot of fun and may the best ones win!
