AC QGD vs mmt

Welcome along everyone to the fourth game of Alliance conquest !! I am your host, Igris Red, as usual, presenting today the two alliances fighting : Queensguard and Vengence. The first goes under the name of QGD while the latter uses mmt, those names are the ones we shall use for the rest of the evening. With a negative record of 1-2, QGD are fiercely looking for a win today to even their record. On the other side, mmt is a very strong alliance with few but very active members. Surely they will take advantage of their power to, hopefully for them, hopefully not for QGD, win today.  

And that’s a wrap for the presentation finishing at the perfect time as the match is 5 seconds away from the start, we have 27 people fighting for QGD while mmt has brought an impressive 21 players out of their 31 members. Already though mmt take a point advantage, that research helps !! 

Immediately as they start, mmt takes control of both the Temple of the Mother and the Tower of the Warrior. They also take the Lannister outpost. QGD is left stunned and only able to take the Targaryen outpost thanks WaffelWombat. Horrible start for QGD, they were left behind completely by the incredible speed of mmt. It is a first for QGD, they have met stronger opponents but they usually are able to at least secure a few first captures. 

The protection for first capture runs out and without even a second to catch their breath, mmt the Targaryen outpost and Fleur Belgium takes it for them. Even though they’ve taken the outpost, they left the Temple of the Mother scarcely defended with barely any troops in, this allowed ShmooVe to take it for QGD and revive hopes of a perhaps even match. After all, mmt were in front but if QGD could secure the boosts from the Temple and the Tower, there is a chance they can win.

Annnnnnnd QGD can continue to believe as LordLionel takes over the Tower of the Warrior. All hope is not lost but rather revived as QGD takes on some points and the boosts to go on with the game. Not even a second after that, the ports open and it’s an even one-one take between mmt and QGD, the latter not getting surprised by the phenomenal speed of the first. Sadly though, the Temple of the Mother is taken back by mmt while everyone is focused on the ports as Pepper Man leads a strong attack and pierces QGD defenses.

Somewhat of a back and forth is going on and continuing regarding the attacks on both the Temple and the Tower, the first one is back in QGD possession thanks a solo attack from ShmooVe while the latter is back in mmt possession after an attack from BelgiumPower, quite the name I might say. That being said, QGD missed the biggest part as they weren’t fast enough to secure Castelry Rock which is taken by mmt. QGD could despair as one of their main assets, their speed has been taken off from them but they still try, as shown by their constant overtakes and even though they might not be following up on points, they are still a problem from mmt and 

The strongholds open up and for once, QGD are the most reactive out of the two teams. They take both strongholds which, if they can keep them, is going to be a huge advantage. As they take those two buildings though, they lose the Temple of the Mother to QueenieGold and they lose the Lannister port to NoV60Dan. Hope is still there, not for a win, but for a close match nonetheless, it is getting difficult as every building QGD takes is eventually overtaken by mmt who have more power and more speed but there is no other choice, the QGD forces need to capitalize on all the hope left that they have and try to get as many points as they can. 

The control over the strongholds is short lived for QGD as they are both attacked and seized by mmt. As a last resort, LordLionel takes back the Lannister port for QGD and 11 players join the reinforcements, it is truly their last hope.

A first attack comes against the port, it seems strong but reinforcements are in and QGD have put all their efforts into it, it should hold on… AND IT DOES, truly a hard hit, it was like a tsunami as 5 regiments were wiped out of the port but it holds on… wait, there’s another attack coming… QGD are not ready for another attack and the port is taken !!! As they thought all hope was lost and despair started to spread among the ranks, Gohar I takes the Lannister port in one strong sweeping attack and once again everyone flows into the port to reinforce it but this time, it holds on for the rest of the game.

After this little episode of the Lannister port, the mines open up and with a quick enough reaction, QGD are able to sneak around and control the Lannister mine while the Targaryen one goes to mmt without surprise. The Lannister mine stays in QGD control for approximatively a minute before being taken by a raid from mmt. Though they tried, QGD were incapable of reverting the situation.

Attention everyone, today’s match of Alliance Conquest comes to an end with a clear victor : mmt. They were able to control the pace of the match and even when bothered by QGD forces their strong and fast responses gave them everything they needed to secure a good 80k win. On the other hand, QGD may have been weaker in comparison to mmt but they tried their best today and actually fought back against them. They still were able to amass over 20k points which is a lot considering the domination of mmt and it says lots about the tenacity of those QGD players. The Lannister port was the embodiment of their hopes and struggle which finally paid off when Gohar I took it and secured it for the rest of the match. It was a good evening. I hope you all have enjoyed today’s game, this was your host, Igris Red, good night !
