N3O faces off against RRH S18 UC R3

Another round of Ultimate Conquest was right around the corner for B3nni and N3O, who have now entered the losers' bracket after their defeat against BDR in the second round of the tournament. The match was a difficult one for N3O, who were in a hard spot, forcing B3nni to make a decision he normally would not. Due to the possibility of facing multiple strong alliances in the future and spending all of their resources until the final took place, B3nni opted to not go all out if the start of the match wasn't favorable.

In the end, the start of the match was fitting for BDR, who had control of most buildings and dictated the tempo of the fight. Which in the end pushed B3nni to call the match. Now having entered the losing bracket, N3O was going to face against RRH, one alliance that they were familiar with from past seasons and events.

B3nni knew that N3O would have no issue in defeating them in normal circumstances, but he also knew that they would try everything in their power to make a surprise if they were to be underestiamted. B3nni has a very risk averse nature, making him take every match with a careful outlook.

Inside the event, the Lannister and Targaryen sides battle it out in Ultimate Conquest over control of vital areas like Casterly Rock, Ports, Outposts, and Mines. New changes for this season include the alliance as a whole receiving strong bonuses from certain combinations of structures. According to their ranking, N3O was placed on the Lannister side for this match. Their opponents were to the Targaryen faction.

The recent changes to the tournament also includes limitations on how many fighters can partake into the fight, unlike the regular season, only 70 out of the 100 members can join. Another change was that only 25 members can reinforce a building at a time, instead of the usual 30. This was something that B3nni had to carefully take into account whilst choosing the roster for the confrontation.

Thus B3nni started picking his 70 members for this contest. He chose the fighters with most high tier troops and activity in events, all to ensure a smooth run for the match. When he decided on who will participate, the announcement had to be made. Every role for the present fighters as well as their spot on the map was announced. It was time to depart, everyone was on high spirits, anticipating a spectacular fight to begin.

The road to the battlefield was a thrilling one, with everyone being focused on their exciting tactics and planning. It was something that they all appreciated the council for doing. B3nni enjoyed the sight of everyone being excited and into the match, alongside the lively nature filled with blooming flowers and chirping birds.

When they arrived onto the battlefield, they were greeted by 62 fighters of RRH, being fully motivated for what laid ahead. This sight meant but one thing for N3O: They had the nummerical advantage, which was a great advantage for what fight was to follow. B3nni knew this usually meant more inside Ultimate Conquest, as not everyone was allowed to partake in the match. This made the situation more dire for RRH if anything.

The strength that N3O's fighters showcased was also an incredible one, as they seemed to be way stronger than RRH even just at a first sight. Through this, B3nni got the reassurance he needed, that he picked the right fighters for the contest. Now however, he had to get everyone to focus on the plan, as the Outposts, Mother and Warrior were about to unlock.

As they unlocked, the racers ran out of the first line hurrying to make the capture, with 3 out of 4 buildings captured. This was good news in B3nni's eyes, who thought they if they succeeded in swapping, they won't have to worry about many issues during the match. Thus he signaled for it, and without a single mistake from the N3O reinforcements, it all went flawlessly.

Now it was time for N3O to recapture the final building, which B3nni orders to be done with solo attacks by the rally leaders. They all thus start at the same time to go towards it, speeding as they saw fit, one after the other, they kicked RRH out of the building.

With all 4 buildings secure and reinforced, it was time to begin preparations for the ports as they were about to unlock. The racers were ready to take them, and as soon as the bubble dropped, they did just that. Now the swaps were also easier this time around, as RRH had no slow march available to them. It all went according to the plan, RRH had no chance at bouncing back if Casterly Rock was secured as well.

As time went on, the RRH forces only waited for Casterly Rock to unlock, but as soon as it did, the N3O racers were already there, capturing it. B3nni could not have been more happy with their display, amazing races and swaps, as the one on Casterly Rock also succeeds.

Seeing their misfortune and lack of participants, the RRH strategist had called the match, leading into a victory for N3O who is now going to advance into the fourth round of action where they will face against NFI, yet another strong alliance that could pose a problem for B3nni's tactics. Now, it was time for him to start preparations, let's see if he will manage to come up with the right plan and course of action there as well.
