💠Illusion Battlefield League

Sixteen teams entered the weekend still alive in the tournament, but after another round of eliminations, the field has been cut in half to the final eight. With only three weeks remaining, every match matters more, and the bracket is starting to narrow down to the true championship contenders. This weekend featured a mix of expected wins, farm alliance matchups, and one major upset that shook up the bracket.

Server 38’s AoW defeated its farm alliance in SPS.
Server 38’s third alliance, Ascendants of Asgard, defeated Server 398’s KoV.
Server 73’s ARC defeated Server 462’s XY.
Server 530’s SJ upset Server 231’s CN in a stunning win.
Server M014’s RiP defeated Server 275’s TNG.
Server 209’s HK beat its farm alliance in O66.
Server 73’s BUNS beat Server 482’s RH.
Server 344’s HOT defeated Server 336’s CD.

Looking ahead, next weekend should be another important checkpoint in the tournament. Server 38 is expected to knock out its final farm alliance, which would leave AoW as its main representative moving forward. ARC will face the same team that its sister alliance, BUNS, demolished in the second week of the playoffs, so expectations will be high for another strong Server 73 performance. RiP will try to extend its eleven-game winning streak against HK in what should be one of the more competitive matchups of the round, while BUNS will look to continue its impressive run against HOT as the only remaining second alliance from any server. SJ is arguably the biggest wildcard after eliminating CN, and another strong performance would show that the upset was more than a one-match surprise.

💠Legion of Frostborne

The KvK season will end next week, but most of the major results are already decided. Zone 3 will open at the start of next week, though for most regions it will likely be more of a formality than a real turning point. At this stage, the most meaningful competition remaining in many brackets will be the chronicle races between allied factions, especially in regions where multiple factions are sharing control. This highlights how important the first two zones can be in Frostborne, as factions that establish a large territorial advantage early can effectively decide the competitive portion of the season before Zone 3 even opens.

In Legion 51, Zephyr is set to win the season. The faction consists of Server 38’s AoW, Server 277’s WIB, Server 267’s ID, and Server 360’s DQ. In Legion 52, the four factions appear to have agreed to split the map, leaving little meaningful conflict outside of progression and chronicle competition. In Legion 53, Zephyr, consisting of Server 73’s ARC, Server M016’s ICE, Server 159’s MDS, and Server 302’s MAD, and Terra, consisting of Server 16’s NG+, Server M010’s TBH, Server 115’s DH, and Server 136’s AWG, dominated the season against Ember, led by Server 209’s HK, and Hydro, led by Server 231’s CN. In Legion 54, none of the factions took any cities, making it the least active and least decisive region of the group. Overall, Legions 51 and 53 demonstrate how quickly superior coordination and early territorial control can snowball into an effectively decided season.

💠Alliance King

The event runs from October 1 to November 1, 2026, and is open to all players, but alliance selection is locked once a player binds to an alliance, so players should choose carefully rather than simply joining the first available option. Each alliance can bind up to 200 members, and once that limit is reached, no additional players can join that alliance for the event, making early participation particularly important for players trying to support a competitive alliance. Alliance cheering rewards are unlocked through the combined effort of bound alliance members, but those rewards must be claimed before November 30 or they will expire. The top three alliances and top three individual players will receive additional exclusive rewards, including limited city skins, personal avatar frames, official customization services, and other prizes, with staff contacting winners afterward. Players earn cheering points by cheering, and those points can be exchanged in the Points Shop for rare cosmetic items starting November 2. However, cheering points are not permanent this time and will be cleared on December 31, 2026, so players should avoid hoarding them past the event period. If two players or alliances finish with the same score, the one that reached the score first will rank higher, which gives early participation another small competitive advantage. Data processing may be delayed by up to five minutes, so gem-related tasks completed after 23:55 may not register properly, making it safer to complete those tasks after 00:00 instead. The exchange rate for purchasing Cheering Vouchers is 1 USD per voucher. For most players, the safest strategy is to bind early to an alliance they expect to remain active, collect the shared cheering rewards, and make sure all points and rewards are spent or claimed before their respective expiration dates rather than chasing leaderboard placement unless they realistically have a chance at the top rewards.

💠Summary

IBL is down to the final eight, with SJ’s upset over CN standing out as the biggest result of the round. KvK is largely decided in most regions, while Alliance King rewards early alliance participation and careful management of cheering points and expiration dates. The next week should bring more meaningful IBL action even as Frostborne begins winding down.
