AoH S1 R5 M3

It was KUM taking ours right away with Syakiri, a Spear weakness lord. But a Inf Jon bleed from LAH cleared him quite easy, just to be cleaned out by BARLAB cassana cav.

Since NFI started to reinforce fast, MAJ commanded MAJOr to start a rally fast. His Spear weakness with Baelish should hopefully clear the cavs out. And it did. Now it was time to secure the first altar and it should become ours.

But this would be a tough and expansive match, MAJ was sure after the first fight. While they were fighting, the first Watchtowers were captured. Closing the usual gap to the pure trading factions. But with the pressure on the altars there was not even time to watch the battle for watchtowers. MAJ was just commanding LAH, Savada and MAJOr to hit left and right, scouting one altar after another, checking what was inside and tell the countering account to hit.

With the opening of dragon pits, the fight continued. It was LAH to capture a dragon pit and fastly asking for reinforcement, just to be still soloed out by Nachu with cassana cav females.

Since MAJOr was taken in a different altar, we had to give up this battle there in trade for another. But more would come once the middle opens.

When the middle opened and BARLAB took it, MAJOr was commanded to rally it right away. The fact that we were at rank 1 by that time, put MAJ back to the first matches of the season. If we can deny the middle to all, we could maybe catch rank 1. To still make more points per minutes, MAJ commanded Savada to try take a dragon pit while first focus of all would go to the middle, same he told all to try and sneak as many altars as they can, while still making sure to have spears ready for MAJOr if he would kick BARLAB. While MAJOr beat BARLAB, Savada although took a dragonpit and was defending it against incoming attacks from MASAO, which was kinda easy as MASAO is bleed Daeron inf into Senelle female Cavs for Savada.

MAJOr instead got kicked in the meantime and it was again BARLAB to rally for him. The middle kept changing back and forth, but it was often House Tyrell holding it pretty long, and they although started to take control of all catapults, so it seemed only like a matter of time till they would be able to capture the middle. Therefor MAJ moved his attention to House Stark, as they were still ahead of them and taking rank 2 from those would still be a decent win in a matchup like this.

MAJ commanded their strongest leads to take Altars of the Maiden from House Stark to reduce their points per minutes. Since both sides could counter each other, it was a pure burn of speedups and marching boots. Waves of solo attacks were traded back and forth. When one side was able to reinforce either more solos were needed or rallies were called. With like 10 minutes to go we entered the race for rank 2 with a 10k lead but about 400-500 PpM less. This would hold if we would manage to keep it the way it is. But KUM knew the same and they had the bigger amount of top tier accounts, so it came a point, where MAJ commanded the 3 of LAH, MAJOr and Savada to just defend. He kept scouting and those 3 kept clearing 1 altar after another. The other 6 where commanded to try and steal altars over the map and especially house Stark to keep them busy, while it was the task of the 3 top guns to just permanently defend our lead. 

All 3 of them kept climbing in the elimination ranking as they were hitting one after another. In the meantime house Tyrell took as expected control of the City of Glory. Although they got most of the watchtowers and catapults. Still House Greyjoy was fighting for rank 2 which seemed like a win to them. While the lead was getting smaller, so was the time left. When match was over house Greyjoy stand tall and achieved second place. They successfully kept the PpM small enough to bring it over the time.

A look at the total eliminations shows the fight those 3 put up claiming rank 2-4 on the list. 

With this boost MAJ and his group would enter match 2 of the day. Will they be able to pull the same there?
