TFI x KAC | Alliance Conquest - Round 4

Season 22 of Alliance Conquest was moving forward, and TFI was navigating a season full of highs and lows. The two initial victories had ignited the flame of optimism, but the bitter defeat in the third round brought back the gravity of the competition. The standings were tight. Every point mattered. And that match against KAC was not just another confrontation. It was the door that would decide whether we would continue dreaming of the playoffs or fall along the way.

The atmosphere inside TFI was serious, yet hopeful. Everyone knew what was at stake. Then the opponent appeared.

KAC

The powerful Chinese alliance, known for its strength, its methodical playstyle, and the relentless way it punishes any mistake. As soon as their emblem appeared, silence overtook the conversations. They would not leave room for errors. There would be no second chance. The pressure rose right there, before the first minute of battle.

And the faces behind that emblem made everything even more intimidating.

MatJenin and Black Bear.

Two legendary players, pillars of KAC’s strength. MatJenin carried more than two billion power and a reputation for breaking defenses as if they were made of glass. Black Bear, at the same level, was a cavalry soldier of the highest caliber. They were not just numbers. They were symbols of absolute dominance. Seeing their profiles was enough to feel the weight of the armies they commanded.

TFI took a deep breath. And the match began.

As soon as the gates opened, the impact hit like a punch.

KAC captured all four initial buildings before our troops even got close. It was a devastating start, leaving the feeling that we were chasing something unreachable. But we could not give up. Our first target was the Tower of the Warrior. We needed it to start breathing again.

The rallies were organized. The formations were ready. The execution was strong and calculated. We came closer than ever, eliminating 80 percent of the enemy reinforcements. The team’s heartbeat quickened. The opportunity was right there, inches away.

But it was not enough. The tower remained red...

We needed more strength, more focus, more precision.

On the second attempt, we restructured everything. We changed rally leaders, redistributed troops, and reviewed abilities one by one. The tension was so high that some players barely breathed while waiting for the impact.

And this time… it worked.

We took the Tower of the Warrior, and for the first time in the match, we felt the map shift in our favor. The score was tied, around twenty-one thousand points, but there was a huge problem: KAC was making four hundred points per minute more than us. If that continued, we would lose slowly, without even noticing.

And it was in that moment that something began to change inside the team. Because Casterly Rock was about to open. It was our chance to turn the game around.

On Discord, no one spoke. It was as if everyone held their breath at the same time. When the timer hit zero, our troops advanced in perfect sync.

The next image brought the relief everyone was waiting for.

Casterly Rock was captured successfully.

It felt like a trapped shout finally being released.

For a few minutes, everything worked. TFI had six hundred points per minute, against only two hundred eighty from KAC.

We opened a lead. The map turned blue in several areas. The team’s energy shifted. The feeling that victory was possible, that the playoffs were within reach, finally appeared.

But one look at the enemy side was enough to know it would not last forever.

KAC prepared its rallies. And the first impact would come in the worst possible way.

When Black Bear hit Casterly Rock, we did not even have time to defend. The impact was sharp, brutal, impossible to hold. We lost the building in seconds. At the same moment, Lannister Port also fell. And within minutes, the entire map was red again.

The feeling inside TFI shifted from euphoria to despair at an alarming pace. It was like feeling the ground disappear beneath our feet.

Even so, no one gave up.

We realized that KAC’s strongest players were busy holding the main buildings. That created openings. Small, but real. We began capturing weaker buildings, trying to reduce the negative impact on the scoreboard.

The match was tied at twenty-five thousand points for each side. But the truth was cruel: KAC was scoring almost twice as much per minute. Black Bear kept Casterly Rock impenetrable. MatJenin guarded the Temple of the Mother as if it were his own fortress. It felt like rowing against a storm.

The next minutes were absolute chaos. We captured a small building. Lost it soon after. Repeated it. And repeated it. And repeated it. Every “building captured” notification was followed by a “building lost.” Exhaustion began to erode the team’s morale. Some players had already healed millions of troops. Others had opened dozens of rallies.

Even so, we kept trying. It was all or nothing. But then KAC changed its posture, and our fate changed with it.

MatJenin left Mother, and when he did, everything changed. He took the front line and began tearing down every structure we touched. It was almost supernatural. We captured something, and seconds later, MatJenin appeared with his monstrous troops, shattered it as if it were paper, and took it back.

This lasted ten long minutes. Ten minutes that felt like an eternity. Ten minutes that broke our strategy. Ten minutes that drained the team's strength like no rally ever could.

MatJenin took everything back. One structure at a time. Without hurry. Without failing. Without giving us a single second to breathe.

In less than fifteen minutes, KAC opened a 22-thousand-point lead. The gap was so large that not even a miracle would be enough. Players who were confident before were now silent. Others tried to think of impossible solutions. Some just wanted it to end quickly.

The feeling was emptiness.

With twenty minutes remaining, the decision came. TFI surrendered.

The battle ended in a harsh, heavy defeat, difficult to swallow. Not for lack of effort, because we fought. Not for lack of strategy, because we tried everything. But because, on that day, KAC was simply superior.

MatJenin and Black Bear led the clash like mythical beasts.

And TFI, though brave, could not withstand the storm.

The dream of reaching the playoffs is now close to impossible, but TFI still believes it can make it if it wins the next two matches.
