Summary

💠Illusion Battlefield League

Week Six of the IBL tournament concluded with several top-ranked teams skipping matches to play regular IB, resulting in standings that reflect their absence rather than a shift in overall strength.

Server 344’s HOT beat Server 336’s CD.
Server M014’s RiP defeated Server 417’s MAD.
Server 38’s Ascendants of Asgard beat Server 344’s Fxxk.
Server 56’s HMB beat Server 329’s KFC.
Server 73’s BUNS defeated Server 414’s GFT to get their first win of the season.

The top of the rankings saw notable movement, with some alliances losing, others sitting out, and new teams breaking into the top eight.

Server 38’s AoW overtook ARC for first place with a 6-0 record.
Server 398’s KoV moved into second from sixth with a 6-0 record.
Server 73’s ARC fell to third from first after skipping this week with a 5-0 record.
Server 231’s IMPK moved into fourth from seventh with a 5-0 record.
Server M014’s VT took fifth with a 5-0 record.
Server 432’s GW moved into sixth with a 5-1 record.
Server 159’s MDS took seventh with a 4-0 record.
Server M014’s RiP sniped the eighth spot with a 4-0 record.

💠Patch 2.9.1 Notes

The update introduces a new Manufacturing Factory event, replacing Sparks of Galaxy, where Energy Cores are used on a weekly schedule to generate rewards and Rune Insignias that can be exchanged for rare items, with Frosty Orbs now convertible into Energy Cores. VIP privileges have been expanded to include 10-pull and 20-pull summons at VIP10 and VIP15, while Wisdom Well has been reworked with adjusted acquisition methods, expanded prize pools, new Wish Shop currencies, and phased access to Epic and Legendary Skills by season. Legendary Season and Frostborne gameplay received multiple quality-of-life improvements, including reduced Middle Ring entry requirements, contract-based personal achievements, enhanced Altar Stone range and targeting visibility, clearer city durability indicators, streamlined off-season matchmaking timelines, and improved season interfaces with round indicators for server lists.

💠Throne of the Supreme

Throne of the Supreme was overhauled in the last patch by doubling Group Stage qualifiers from 64 to 128 and widening the brackets to mix multiple top servers together. This restructuring made the first two phases significantly more competitive, as players who might have advanced in weaker groups were unable to place even fourth in their own. The outcome is a Grand Finals field dominated by elite servers, with 19 players from Server 136, 11 from Server 38, 9 from Server 231, 8 from Server 209, and 7 from Server 73 making up the majority of the top 64.

💠Summary

The IBL standings took an interesting turn after Week 6. Throne of the Supreme created highly competitive early rounds and a Grand Finals dominated by elite servers. The patch will add a new Manufacturing Factory event, expand VIP perks, revamp Wisdom Well rewards, and introduce multiple Legendary Season quality-of-life improvements.
