Video Trailer

It is summer in Westeros, everyone enjoying their vacations in Essos but for [N0X[OliverQ it's time for the last round of Arena of Honor Season 5. This season has its ups and downs, with rounds where OliverQ and his teams managed to beat the odds and turn the tides against much stronger enemies but also rounds where he could've played better and get better results. All in all, it was his best season of the 3 seasons he participated in and even though there aren't big chances for him to get to the Glory King ranking, he wants to end the season like he started 'it, with a win. After he finally got his valyrian weapons for his troops before the last round, there wasn't much he could do in terms of upgrades, so he decided to take a small vacation between the rounds and returned just in time to take his troops and go to the mercenary camp once again. Once he arrived there, he signed up the registration papers and then waited patiently for the matchmaking to be completed.

As soon as the matchmaking was completed, the battlefield doors opened, and everyone stepped inside to see which house will be choosing them for this round. It was Daenerys Targaryen that decided to pick OliverQ for this upcoming round and together with him she also chose [TwS]Abe0, [FRL]WilliamWallace, [FRL]JoRgItO, [k0a]victoryno0, [AUN]DivineDragon, [APO]ALEKSEY A, [GEA]H A Z Z Y and [FRL]Tazme.

As soon as the other 2 houses picked their teams everyone started marching towards their clan castle with OliverQ and his team marching towards the frozen north where the House Stark's Clan Castle is located. Once everyone arrived there, they started setting their camps around the clan castle and making last minute preparations and OliverQ took advantage of the last few minutes to send scouts over the battlefield to check what the other houses are up to.

The reports weren't looking too bad, the enemies were strong but defeatable, so OliverQ thought they might be able to get another win, was he right though? Thoughts had to be put aside as the battle started, and the strongholds opened for attacks, so everyone rushed to quickly occupy them.

Once the occupation time passed, OliverQ as the team commander decided to go with military camps at least on the first row and try to occupy at least one more clan castle.

His plan had a little hickup and the NPCs couldn't take the Tyrell's clan castle on the first attack but then with the 2nd attack they broke the defenses and everyone could breathe again. Even better for the team, they also managed to secure the Greyjoy's clan castle and with access to 36 strongholds it was looking like the team had the win in their pockets already. But as Arena of Honor proved in the past and will prove on this round too, nothing is set in stone. The round continued with the opening of altars and OliverQ now with his shiny new valyrian weapons equipped on troops had no problem defeating the enemies, at least on the first altars opening.

Things were going well for OliverQ and the team, they were on the first place and pushing ahead in points, but there was one more building left that could change everything on the battlefield, the City of Glory. As the fight for altars was going, with the minutes passing the city opening was getting closer and closer and as soon as the timer hit the middle of battle, everyone's focus instantly swapped to the center of the battlefield.

As soon as it opened, OliverQ decided to once again be the rally banner of the team and instantly started a rally to evict the neutral NPCs from the city.

In less than 2 minutes, the rally got filled and it was already marching towards the target. Once they got there it was just a formality for the heavily armed force to kick the NPCs out and now the hard part of the battle was starting, the defense. While they were busy organizing the defense, a swift solo attack was launched by Kleinaber from House Stark.

Even though he managed to deflect the solo attack, he knew already that Kleinaber will be the "final boss" and as soon as he started the rally, OliverQ started asking for more reinforcements, but did he manage to get enough reinforcements in time?

Unfortunately, no, after fighting valiantly against multiple rallies coming from both Starks and Lannister's, the armies he had left defending weren't enough to take one more rally and the Starks took over the city. Being stubborn as he always is, OliverQ kept trying to break the Starks defense, but with each rally he did, the warriors got more and more tired, most of their troops lost their lives on the battlefield and there weren't enough left to join so at the end of an epic battle the Starks took over the City of Glory.

Despite losing the battle for the City of Glory, OliverQ and his team fought extremely well everywhere else and the final score did show that. They managed to take the first place and even more, they scored over 180000 points that ensured them all the points rewards so OliverQ couldn't be happier of this season end. Now with the Season 5 left behind, he needs to start preparing for the next season, in hopes that he'll be able to get to that Glory King Rank. Will he be able to do 'it? Only time will tell. See you all on the battlefield!
