PhoeniX reporting! [III] VS [HOH] Battle 3 of 23d Alliance conquest season

Hello!

PhoeniX is here!

I am keeping on to tell you a story about our Alliance Conquest season, and today we will be talking about mach 3

[III] Gray Army VS [HOH] House of Heroes

By the way, as I am playing this game for a long time, like 7 years i will be throwing you some history facts. There was a time when the Alliance Conquest event did not exist. There were no events, literally, even the Castle Siege was closed and not available.

And the first event, except for the Сastle siege (local kingdom war for great cities), was "Alliance Mobilization".

Second, I believe KvK and third, I was Alliance conquest. None of those carnivals and sails were available.

What I want you to tell - Alliance conquest was not always here. But from the events that are happening on the separate battle map - it was first.

But let's go to game 3 of the 23-season AC

At this point, we had two great ones, and with the score 2-0 to our favor, we are stepping into game 3 VS [HoH]

You can see the reports about previous games here:

[III] VS [NW1]

[III] VS [TIS]

So after two well-deserved victories, we are quite sure about our performance. And [HoH] is a doable enemy for us.

Not only because we become stronger, better trained, and shown some proven results, and are more experienced, but also it was "in the air" that these days [HoH] is not the [!HoH!] it was before, that [HoH] alliance definitely saw its "better days."

by the way, check out one of my favorite songs - here

And we had some confirmation as they managed to score fewer than 90 players on the battlefield, potentially with alts and pilots

but this is just my wild guess

All this was building assurance that we can do it, but the battle will be tough, and that will not be an easy ride!

So we managed to score 95 players on the dance floor, which is like 3 players less than we are used to having

So the cards are on the table, roles and runners are assigned, and we are ready for the first run

BAM!

And we lose 3/4 targets, managing to take just their outpost, which is just partial good news, as it will be hard to hold it.

Okay, we managed to catch them on Mother swap but that split our attention from their outpost, and we lost it

So, having this situation, we throw all our forces to break the "Warrior tower combo" It is held by Blood Wick - Very bad news for us

Strong and active Inf and running forward, he was at the top one in the global elimination ranking in this match

If we can "do" him, we will be more confident about their strongs - it was not easy, but we did that!!!

Check this moment out

So, after not the best start, we are holding "Warrior combo" and we are one little step away from taking any outpost and having Warrior combo work for us at full force, which will help our Tanks to hold castles with more confidence!

We are on the right track! We are managing!

Ports time!

BAM!

We lose both races and bonus, they kick out of the Mother tower by Wallace 1st us that was our alliance leader and one of our top spears

Wallace 1st is a strong German player i had the honor to be his alliance leader for a few seasons - good old [win] TheWinter, days

At this point, it starts to be felt as it is "too much work to do for us!"

All the map is red!

Good, but not the best rally leader in the Warrior tower!

But we are not the guys who are giving up after the first tough kick!

So we took the close outpost back! and was doing our best at defending Warrior tower!

We did not manage!

Xoica took it. Don't know this player. And I closed to miss that race as my eyes were in a different place.

But the guy is definitely good as he is top 12 in the together elimination ranking - Bad news for us

Unfortunately, I am not only the chronicle but also have an active role in alliance event management. So the situation was felt tough, and I was more focused on "how to save it" instead on "how to picture a good content for you guys" - hope you will forgive me for missing pictures and reports, BUT I will try to become better, and to find time to make some pictures and some juicy reports for you.

Let's get back to the battlefield!

Casterly Rock run

We managed to kick Wallace 1st from the Mother tower

And we took CASTERLY ROCK with a good rally leader!!!

We are a bit behind, but not giving up!

So we need points!

Casterly Rock and ports are the most point-making buildings, and for us it is about points now! So we targeted their port the close one

And (HoH) go for Mother to enforce and finally fully build and close their "Warrior tower combo."

As you both alliances are gathering rallies fast - not a surprise at this level of competition! And you can see how we are losing Mother tower while winning the port - but it is ok! The point gap is a main focus for us at this moment!

Check this moment out

Meanwhile, some fast anonymous [III] runner is doing his best for his alliance ;-) on a third priority, buildings! Because every point matters!

So if we manage to defend Casterly Rock and take their port or at least our outpost and hold it for the mines, it will be a competitive situation where we will show our best speed and activity!

AND WE!.....

Check this moment out

Did not! (T_T)... That was really fast! We did not expect that kind of strike force against our Spirra!

Can't tell you much about DarkcellUK he is at 27 total elimination position, which is good, but it is not their best!

Our situation tends to be crappy.

The best our tanks are not standing against their attacks. We are behind! And the Warrior combo works to their advantage!

That is the moment when we all start to lose morale.

And in addition, bubbles go down, and if we were in debt to focus on attempts to return the initiative

They were able to go for our castles as at this point the map is red :-(

We tried Warrior again to break the combo so it is Xoica once again. We already managed to beat him once.

Will we the second time?

Check this moment out

Nope....

With the full warrior combo, we did not...(T_T)

Even so, I caught the moment to remove some people with dragon skill - it was not enough

And the most attentive of you could see this moment in the last seconds of this Warrior tower attack

This is where i want to finish this story...

The last man standing...

The last watcher on the wall...

Some anonymous ;-) TheGreyArmy defender is the last one to fall in this battle.

Even so, castles after this were from time to time changing their owners. The global (HoH) domination was undisputed. So I will finish this story here and will go to watch a fight of Alexander Usik - our great undisputed champion, against Riko Verhoven.

At least here I hope the luck will be on our side... ;-)

We dramatically underestimate the power of (HoH) House of Heroes alliance. They managed to show excellent play, still being quite behind in numbers. They are in the playoffs right now in this very moment!

And they are doing well!

I keep my fingers crossed for them!

As a farewell present from me, some statistics for those who are interested in:

We had 7 top eliminators in the top 20, so they were not only well coordinated but also strong.

And that would be their top 5 eliminators

Also wona highlight LUNG as a (HoH) great runner which took very important targets for his alliance.

And Blood Wick, who is not only strong but fast as well!

And at this point I am saying you - "until the next time"

Your anonymous last watcher on the wall ;-)
