The REAL season final | AoH S5 R15 | Events with N0X

Just eleven hours had passed since the last Arena of Honor match, but for LordofHunger, it was time to prepare for the next match already. Since it was the last match of the season, his reset team decided to do another run of the event at 12:00.

Not everyone had an  extra ticket, so Hunger invited some of his friends from Hotep’s 18:00 team, which also had extra tickets, making the team an interesting mishmash.

In their reset match, they had gotten a very hard map, leading to them switching to trading. They were hopeful it would be different this time, though.

And things looked good when they first entered the map. One mixed team and one IlI team. IlI had one strong spear account, but since Hunger’s team was inf/spear-focused, that should not be an issue. Noteworthy was also that the Targaryen team had an N0X player with them, XSPRITZ. Not a super strong account, but it meant there would be some small rivalry there.

With an easier matchup than last time, their team went for camps again. The watchtowers were spear, so their team and the Lannisters went for inf. Interestingly, the Targaryens went full spear, which confused Hunger a lot since there was no reason for that really. To counter the Lannisters, they built 2 cav camps for a bit more damage vs their inf.

The L’s for Targaryen continued with them being unable to take their NPC House and House Stark sniping it.

After finishing to build up their camps, altars of the warrior were their next target, with each one hoping for the attack buff to gain an additional advantage of House Stark.

There did not seem to be an organized resistance from Stark against it, so one after another they could secure altars.

They started to secure the watchtowers. Their biggest issue at this time was that BaR kept going into their altars, but since Stark was slow at reinforcing, at least for now, Cubishina could take him out in 2 solos.

The Targaryens would not be the only ones losing a House due to neglect. Their team's NPCs had taken House Bratheon, and Cubishina was just in time to defend it, with reinforcements following soon later. IlI was too late to set up a rally, and so they lost the building.

There was no time to breathe, though, with the center opening the seconds the House was done.

Hunger was stressed out between reinforcing, checking the map, and scouting altars, but things were going well so far. They only needed to keep up this pace a little bit longer.

BaR’s rally was their first test, but with counter in their favor, it was a relatively easy defense. Without that, it would have been much different, though, proving them right to send Chaos into Center instead of Cubishina.

One decently strong cav account was on the map, and their rally hit in the last second. It was much closer than the BaR one, but since Kazgaru’s rally was not full and so Chaos had almost twice as many troops, allowing him to still get away with a victory.

With all the recent victories, things went unsurprisingly well for their team. With a +48 win in sight. All they had to do was defend now, and they would be good, but after both enemy factions seemed to have decided that the center was pointless to attack, they had the capacity for a good small mine run.

Far from the cleanest run, but they did clear a good amount, preventing red from catching up at all.

There, Hunger would also see XSPRITZ, the other N0X member, for the first time. That did not mean XSPRITZ was not doing much, though; in fact, he was at the very top of the elim rankings. After the match, Hunger asked him, and he had seen early that his team would not go far, and so instead he went for eliminations for the Glory Coins. A good decision given how low House Targaryen was.

Shortly before the end, they would get to see how hard a BaR rally would have won against Cubishina, showing how unnecessary their House loss was half an hour ago.

That did not change the end result of the match. With well above the max rewards of 180k and a +48 win, their match literally could not have been better.

While there would be one more match in Arena 5 hours later, for Hunger it would be the last one, concluding the season for him. And what a season it was, ending with 553 Glory Points.

Sadly, it was not enough to get into the rankings, but at least Chaos did so, making the top 300, so Hunger was happy for him. Hunger could only hope that the next season would be similar to this match and he would be in a very good spot. He planned to stay in Chaos team, so it was definitely possible…
