GoTWiC [SoW] S14R6 SFu vs MsW

Greetings ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the final match of the 14th season of the Siege of Winterfell. After 5 matches played and the score 3-2 in our favor, in the last match we will fight against MsW from K250.

We didn't know much about that alliance and their players, but we knew that we shouldn't relax a bit, because in addition to MsW, our main opponent will be time. And that is to collect as many points as we can in order to enter the top 50 alliance, which has been our goal since the beginning of the season. Given that we were in the 86th position, it will be really difficult to achieve that, but we had to try.

Stanko entered the battlefield with two spear armies composed of T4 and T5 armies.

A large part of the army was destroyed during the battle for the castle in CCS, and he managed to assemble two armies before the start of the battle. Unlike the previous matches, from this one we will apply a different strategy in which the players are in 3 different groups: blue, yellow and red, where blue will attack the Armory castle which will grant all allies a 50% boost to total attack, health and defense . While the red team will focus on Hot Spring, which will grant all allies a 100% boost to healing speed. And the yellow team, which included Stanko, will help the red team in the fight to win HS until the package appears.

A big advantage will be our far greater number of players on the battlefield, which puts us in the role of favorites, but I have no doubt that everyone will do their best to play this match the best so far. The match has started. Everyone went to their task. Stanko could not boast of speed, but his armies managed to arrive among the first in HS and are preparing for a confrontation with their opponents. The field around the HS was slowly filling up and was mostly painted blue, which was represented this time by SFu. Stanko had time to choose who to attack, and tried to fight against cavalry players, where he would have a significant advantage.

Most of the opposing armies were in the Armory, so our group will have a tougher fight.

Stanko both armies clashed with the enemy's. They were the cavalry troops that Stanko wanted. The eager fighting of Stanko's troops attacked the cavalry. It was a game of cat and mouse, Stanko also had the help of other teammates and the fight ended very quickly without major losses for Stanko. It seemed that the other team needed more help, but Stanko wanted to secure HS first.

This time he fought against the spearmen. However, many of his teammates had already left for the Armory, so help was harder to come by. Stanko was much stronger, but the opponent had 3 armies, which significantly complicated the fight. An even bigger problem was the attack from the rear by 3 infantry armies. Stanko found himself in a difficult situation, surrounded by 6 armies that simultaneously attacked two Stanko's troops. Stanko's stronger army led by Jaimie made up of t5 spearmen tried to secure the other army which started to lose a lot of troops. Stanko called the other teammates for help, sending them the location, but most of them went far away to hear him or were busy with the other opponents.

Stanko started to run away from the castle, thinking that he was faster than the enemy, but he continued to lose his army. However, he suddenly saw his teammates coming back towards him. It was a group of people who came back to help Stanko. Now outnumbered, they surrounded their opponents. Stanko's second army was considerably weakened and he separated it to send it to recover, while with a stronger one he joined his teammates in the battle with 6 opposing armies. Those were the last ones in HS which we won and we won HS. Having defeated the opponent, the teammates headed for Stark Stronghold 2, while Stanko wanted to recover them and be ready for the package that was coming in a few minutes.

The attacks were redirected towards the north of the battlefield. The Armory team managed to capture the castle and at that point we held all important castles, pushing the enemy towards their base. Stanko was supposed to guard the package that was coming, but since there was no danger of the enemy taking it, he went north to deal with them. The fights took place in Stark Stronghold 1. A large number of opponents were concentrated here and Stanko saw his chance for potential elimination points. About 10 minutes of the game passed and we achieved 10k points.

Stanko's stronger and faster army arrived at Stark 1. The fighting was heavy and Stanko attacked the cavalry army first, to score easy points until the second arrived.

The attacks were intense. Although the opponent was more numerous, we easily managed to defeat them. The first package has arrived. A lot of our players were in Winterfell, but Pemba, our fastest warrior, took him to take him away as soon as possible.

The fighting in Stark Stronghold 1 continued with increasing enemy losses. Stanko's second army arrived and joined the attacks. During that time, pemba carried a package that brought 3.5 points. After 15 minutes of fighting, we managed to defeat the enemy and head north. Pemba carried the second pack heavily which brings 4k points. It was already obvious that this would be our convincing victory, but now it was a question of whether we would collect enough points for the top 50. The fights shifted near their base. Stanko, although worn out in the previous battles, decided to head north without sending the army to recover, because there were still enemy troops trying to come to the center and possibly cause us a problem with carrying packages. Together with a couple of teammates on the way to their base, they encountered a group of opponents moving in the opposite direction.

Although quite worn out, Stanko couldn't wait to attack, regardless of who the opponent was. They were infantry troops, but Stanko had the help of his teammates, so the troops did not suffer very big losses. However, the road to the base was long, and the soldiers were tired from fighting, so he decided to recover them and head north with fresh armies.

More than half an hour of the game has passed, and we have already finished the 4th pack and had 46k points. For some reason, he did not carry the last package of pemba, which took us more time than usual.

But we must not relax. We still had enough time. Together with other teammates, Stanko circled around the opponent's base trying to draw out an opponent. Sometimes he succeeded, even though they were mostly infantry, he fought. Time passed, most of the opposing players gave up and the game was reduced to carrying packages and waiting for the opponent to leave the base.

We managed to pass 100k points, but there are still 2 minutes left. The last package that pemba brought was of 6.5k points and with that left us at close to 109k points. Although we got a lot of points, unfortunately this was not enough for the top 50, and we took the 52nd position. Neither the 4th nor the 6th package carried a pemba, which took us more time. Maybe if he had carried it, we would have managed another one that brings 7k points, but now that remains in the realm of theory.

Although we started the season excellently with two victories, unexpected defeats in the 3rd and 4th matches cost us a better ranking. In the end, Stanko took the 15th position in terms of elimination points, which is not bad considering that he played the entire season with two armies. Now it was necessary to analyze this season, recover the army and prepare for new events to come.
