The Frozen Crown - Arena of Honor Season 5 Round 11

Video Trailer

As this season of Arena of Honor is getting closer and closer to its end, [N0X]OliverQ is still in pursuit of the goal he had at the season's start, getting over 400 fame points and possibly the Glory King rank. The first 10 rounds had ups and downs for him, sometimes winning from a sure losing positions and sometimes exactly the opposite, losing an almost sure win. He used the 2 weeks between the rounds to try and strengthen his commanders and dragons and much as possible, his researchers are almost done with the valyrian weapons researces but not yet there, so for now he's still using troops of a tier lower than mostly everyone else in these Arena of Honor battles. The days flew by quickly and before he knew, it was time for him to departe towards the mercenary camps for another round of solo queue, as he seems not able to find a team just yet. Upon his arrival at the camp, he headed directly to the registration tavern and signed the papers required for the registration and then waited along his commanders for the matchmaking to be done.

After just a few minutes the matchmaking was completed and the battlefield doors opened for the warriors to enter. Upon entering, OliverQ was assigned to House Targaryen for this fight and along him there were also [TW1]Tiger667, [RSL]Ekzekutor, [UDZ]Y5555, [TOC]herbmcderp and [s77]LadyLawnda.

Once they got to know each other, everyone marched towards South-West forests of the battlefield, where the House Targaryen's Clan Castle is located and set their camps for the fight. OliverQ took advantage of the last few minutes before the fight starts to send some scouts and see what the other houses are up to.

The news he got back were both good and bad, good that there weren't too many very strong warriors on the battlefield and bad cause both Starks and Lannister's decided to invite premade teams instead of teams from the mercenary camps. However, there were still good chances to win this round, and OliverQ was ready to give everything and help his team achieve the victory. Time for debating and strategizing ended as the round starting signal was heard and the strongholds right in front of the clan castle dropped their protection bubble, everyone in the team sent their military units to occupy them and as soon as the occupation time ended, it was time to send the constructors and start building them.

The team decided to once again go with military camps, specifically cavalry camps and try to occupy the clan castle next to them and hopefully later on City of Glory. But for now, it was time for them to focus on altars as they started opening and the team needed as many as possible in order to keep up in points generation.

The first few attacks on the Altars were swift and OliverQ managed to take the enemies by surprise, but it didn't take long for them to start adapting to his strategy and since they were part of a team and probably had ways to communicate it wasn't too hard for them to start reinforcing or send warriors that OliverQ couldn't defeat to keep him in check.

Despite that setback, him and his team managed to secure quite a few altars all over the battlefield and before getting to the half of battle they were sorta keeping up in points, at least with the Lannister's cause the Starks were pushing high ahead, but the Targaryen's could still win this round, if they would manage to somehow occupy the City of Glory.

Once the City of Glory opened it was all or nothing for the House Targaryen, they had to somehow get the city. However, it was Starks once again that took initiative and occupied the city and OliverQ decided to test their defenses with a few solo attacks.

Since the solos had little to no effect it was time for rallies to be assembled in hopes they'll have more success. it was OliverQ and [VNV]YlaV that started a rally on the City of Glory with the hopes the other warriors will quickly reinforce their rallies, and they'll be able to send 'it right away.

And reinforcing they did, as soon as the rallies were full, they sent them towards the City of Glory and as soon as they got to the gates, OliverQ's rally was the first to hit, but despite all his efforts he couldn't match the forces that Starks had there, however he did manage to chip the forces just enough for YlaV to win the rally and take the city for the Targaryen's and now it was their time to defend. Every warrior reinforced the city, there were so many troops defending it, but the rallies were outnumbering them 10:1 and without catapults they had a very hard mission defending it. Despite doing their best, the rallies were too many and coming in a quick succession it was almost impossible for them to defend, so the city fell into enemy hands once again and they got back into attacking position. The battle continued between House Stark, House Targaryen and House Lannister for tens of minutes, troops falling on all sides, rallies after rallies hitting from everywhere and it was looking like no house is strong enough to keep the city for the 4 minutes required.

But then with just 2 minutes left to fight, Lannister's managed to take the City of Glory and almost threw OliverQ and his team down on the 3rd place, Lucky for them there was not enough time left for the Lannister's to catch up and they managed to finish the round on the 2nd place.

This round wasn't the best for OliverQ and his team, they couldn't do much against Starks clearly superior team but still they played their heart and soul and ultimately managed to get a well-deserved 2nd place. This ends OliverQ's winning streak and lowers his chances to get to the Glory King rank but with 4 rounds remaining, he still keeps some chances, if he'll manage to win all the rounds left. Can he do that while playing in solo queue? Time will tell. See you all on the battlefield!
