A Storm Is Coming - Arena of Honor Season 6 Round 4

Video Trailer

Westeros is preparing to go in the month of September now and summer is slowly lingering away, the sun is not shining as much as it did, the night's get longer and colder and the tree leaves are slowly changing their color and for the warriors in Westeros it's time for another round of Arena of Honor. After feeling the taste of victory for the first time this season in the 3nd round, [N0X]OliverQ's expectations have grown and now he's looking to follow-up that win with another win on the 4th round and he tried to prepare accordingly, making more troops, equipping his commanders with better weapons and making even more valyrian weapons to equip his troops with. The 2 weeks between rounds flew by quickly and now it was time for him to get his troops, commanders and dragons and head to the mercenary camp for another solo que round. Once he arrived there, he signed the registration forms and waited patiently for the Old Gods to finish the matchmaking.

Once the matchmaking concluded the battlefield doors opened, and everyone stepped inside to find with whom and against whom they'll fight in this round. OliverQ was chosen by House Stark for this fight and along him Arya Stark also choose [LMS] DRAGONS 666, [GEU] JohnDenmark, [Dis] L5921, [N0W] Scutarius, [vik] Mixai, [Twb] rain of ice and [KOR] Gold 46.

OliverQ fought a few times in the past for House Stark and always had good results so he was feeling confident that he can repeat those performances. Once the team was known, everyone heads together with Arya towards the frozen north and once everyone arrived at the Clan Castle, they deployed their camps and did last minute preparations before the fight actually start. OliverQ used those few minutes to send a few scouts on the other houses and see what they are up to.

The news that scouts got back were encouraging for OliverQ and the team as it was looking like the Targaryen's and Lannister's also invited warriors from the mercenary camp so the battlefield should be equal. The fight started shortly after with the opening of the strongholds and everyone rushed to occupy them as fast as possible in order to start the points generation.

After the occupation period ended and the construction started, the team decided to go with military camps, specifically Cavalry camps to counter the neutral NPCs and after looking at what the other houses are doing, OliverQ decided it's a good idea and followed the commander's lead. The constructions were done just in time as altars started opening and everyone needed the troops for them. OliverQ started trying to get as many altars as possible for his team but as it will prove, attacking without scouting first can turn in a costly mistake.

After CruCio moped the floor with him, OliverQ decided to get back to the drawing board and actually scout the altars instead of mindlessly attacking them and hoping for the best. As it turns out that was a good decision as victories started to appear on the battlefield for him.

OliverQ managed to deal swiftly with the potential threat but there was no time to celebrate as more and more altars started opening all over the battlefield, so he had to keep his gameplay top notch. With a handful of altars secured now, the Starks were keeping up in points with Lannister's that were looking to be the main enemy on this round but as in most of the rounds, it will be once again the City of Glory that will decide the winner of the round.

With the Starks being on 1st place but with the Lannister's on close 2nd they decided to try and take the City of Glory too, but with OliverQ locked in their clan castle will there be anyone else trying to lead the rallies?

[CTW]Goten Son decided to give' it a go and he made a rally that everyone filled quickly and was sent within seconds, and everyone was like please win please win, but did the rally win?Not even close, the House Starks rally was too weak to break the Lannisters's but that didn't stop them or the other houses from keep trying. While OliverQ was struggling to keep the clan castle safe, the rest of team concentrated on not allowing any house to take City of Glory and hopefully make enough points to win without it. Despite managing to take the city a few times they weren't strong enough to keep'it for 4 minutes, so they kept doing the "help flip city" strategy.

The strategy worked up to a point when CruCio and the Lannister's managed to occupy the City of Glory despite the Starks having the catapults. But the Starks didn't just stand looking and they managed to secure 2 more clan castles while keeping the Lannister's busy in the City of Glory.

Despite not managing to win, OliverQ and his team were very close to do so against a way stronger team so they can't be prouder of themselves and how they played this round. Everyone took their rewards and head back to their alliance castles hoping they'll meet again at the mercenary camp and manage to play just as good. Will OliverQ manage to reach Glory King this season while playing in solo queue? Remains to be seen. See you all on the battlefield!
