Phoenix#2 The War for Supremacy

[Reporter]

The long-awaited war for server's supremacy began last week, we had four guilds registered for the first battle: OuTLaWs, HARDCORE, Squadron and ATTACK. 

OuTLaWs began in the position of defenders due to the fact that they registered most of the Signs of Lord, they "resisted" for about 10 minutes guarding the castle, because they were abducted by too much force.

Squadron started stormily, like a tornado ready to destroy everything in its path, from the first minute they started organized attacks, they broke the gates and statues as if they did not even exist, they entered inside the castle by force and took the Crown without encountering difficulties . 

In the mean time, HARDCORE, as we are used to, started hard as if they are struggling with the organization and after 15 minutes we can start to see their parties on the bridge. They are like a tank, they move slowly but ready to crush everything in their path, they reach castle and the fight begins, a fierce battle. Squadron began to have difficulties and the defense of the switches begins to give way, they manage to kill mafy who quickly returns to the castle and after about 20 minutes of intense fighting, HARDCORE successfully registers and became the defenders.

Squadron, after this blow seemed dizzy, they returned to the castle, but a little chaotic, did not focus enough on holding switches but accumulates important points from kills, they remain in the lead although they manage to register after about 30 minutes of fighting, but they lose the crown quite quickly again. Hardcore seem to have a better long-term strategy and recover the gap of points. 

We arrive quickly in the last half hour of the battle and everything is balanced, HARDCORE manages to conquer the Crown again, but now, the points gained as a defending guild means a lot in this battle. Squadron tried, although as if distrustful but did not take a step back and continued to score points from kills and they are still in the game. The minutes are passing in favor of HARDCORE and we get close to the end, Squadron tries to register and if they manage to take the castle before the last 5 minutes they will win, but those from HARDCORE do not ever give up and forbid them the right to put the crown on Trippy's head, at the end of this fight even though they manage to conquer the crown in the last 2 minutes.

Trippy and mafy had difficulties registering because they died quite easily, so the games were made on switches, there HARDCORE much better organized managed to remove the holders from Squadron very often, interrupting the register of Trippy, who, even if he had the switches, died during registering. Trippy suffered 20 defeats and he killed 8 opponents. And on the other side mafy had more chances to register even if he died even more easily than Trippy, he had 24 defeats and he killed 9 opponents. He had more time for both switches held by switch holders on attacking moments and Hardcore overall organisation on defending switches and crown was better than Squadron's.This is the main reason why HARDCORE won by a fairly small margin over Squadron (~ 1500 points).

ATTACK came at Castle Siege but, again, in the beginning of the data base they were not able to gather enough strong players to be able to compete. After this Castle Siege they seem to reorganize a bit and rebuild over a new name, Dynasty. Now let's see how things will go for them to next Castle Siege. 

This was the history of the first fight on this war for supremacy in which mafy becomes, with the support of his warriors, the first Castle Lord on Phoenix#2.

Squadron, with their pride wounded, will return, as they taught us in the past, more ambitious although there are voices that say that they are not so interested in the next Castle Siege because of the low stakes and because the 4 biggest players in this guild did not stay at master level and went for reset. 

I will end this article with some questions raised by the "voices"🤔:

Why mafy did not appoint Battle Masters or Assistant Guild Master ?

Was it a " win strategy" for HARDCORE to not feed Squadron with more points because on server start all players die easy ?
