CBL2025 – April 27 | EU Group Stage Match 1: WSS vs MS
Game 1 – City Siege: MS Attacks, WSS Defends
WSS opened with an unorthodox move—throwing open the gates and sending Cavalry out for early disruption. It worked. The pace of MS’s assault was slowed, forcing the first major clash to happen at the right-side breach.
But MS overlooked WSS’s artillery crew stationed deep behind. Though MS made some progress through the breach, they lacked the tools to suppress the Lionroar Crew. Under constant bombardment, their first wave was repelled, with significant troop losses.
MS regrouped for a second push at the same breach, but WSS was ready. With a reinforced lineup and explosive fire, they drove MS back once again. Then, capitalizing on the advantage, WSS sent Cavalry out for a final sweep—denying any further attempt. WSS held the line and claimed the defensive win.
Game 2 – City Siege: WSS Attacks, MS Defends
MS concentrated heavily around Point A. WSS launched a coordinated push from the right ladders directly onto the point. Though MS had the artillery advantage, they were quickly neutralized—WSS targeted them before they could even begin suppressing fire.
WSS didn’t stop there. As they captured A, a split squad flanked the rear Supply Point, stretching MS’s supply lines dangerously thin. With A lost and no secure resupply, MS withdrew to the Base Camp.
There, MS tried to counter by attacking WSS’s forward Supply, but WSS was already circling to the right, aiming for the heart. With tight formations and superior mobility, WSS broke through the Base Camp and secured a clean 2-0 victory.

CBL2025 – April 27 | EU Group Stage Match 2: WLD vs DOGS
Game 1 – City Siege: DOGS Attacks, WLD Defends
WLD took a high-risk strategy, abandoning the outer defense and opting to bunker down at the Base Camp. DOGS responded with a pincer approach—splitting forces across both staircases. A small detachment baited defenders near the main gate and right staircase, while the bulk of their troops surged up the left stairs, where terrain favored the attackers.
With Trebuchets providing consistent pressure and room to breathe, DOGS expanded their foothold. After one well-coordinated Cavalry charge, WLD’s scattered defenders were wiped out. DOGS stormed the Base Camp and claimed Game 1.
Game 2 – Sides Swapped: WLD Attacks, DOGS Defends
DOGS immediately focused on denying Siege Towers, using counter-Artillery and constant harassment to stall WLD's advance. WLD adapted—abandoning the towers and focusing their offensive on the main gate instead.
But DOGS had already set up dual artillery squads. The double-barreled firepower crushed WLD’s first gate push and forced a reset. The siege turned into a back-and-forth of tower pushes and tower denials—but time was not on WLD’s side.
Sticking to their ironclad “no towers on the wall” strategy, DOGS, supported by constant Cavalry raids beyond the walls, successfully held Point A and secured another 2-0 sweep.

CBL2025 – April 27 | EU Group Stage Match 3: DL vs AYBS
Game 1 – City Siege: AYBS Attacks, DL Defends
DL made a questionable call—choosing to defend Point A directly on the wall. AYBS capitalized immediately. With well-placed Trebuchets and a balanced unit composition, they wiped out the wall defenders in the opening clash.
Spotting the window, AYBS launched a dual push on Point B while DL’s fallen Heroes were still waiting for respawn. The match was quickly driven to the Base Camp phase. But in the final fight, AYBS overextended and left a back route exposed. DL’s Cavalry exploited it perfectly, slipping through and striking the backline. AYBS was caught off-guard. DL seized the opportunity and took Game 1.
Game 2 – Sides Swapped: DL Attacks, AYBS Defends
During the siege phase, DL’s dual artillery crew effectively denied tower progress. AYBS responded by pushing directly through the gate. DL, however, adapted well. Taking advantage of the terrain and persistent burn damage from Siphonarioi, they combined frontal pressure with flank Cavalry strikes to repel the assault.
DL then shifted tactics—securing their Supply Line while cutting AYBS off from theirs. Even with a slight troop deficit, DL controlled the tempo and pressure points. In the end, AYBS couldn’t hold B, and DL closed out the match with a 2-0 win.
 
CBL2025 – April 27 | EU Group Stage Match 4: RJ vs FOW
Game 1 – City Siege: FOW Attacks, RJ Defends
Though RJ's tower denial wasn’t perfect at the start, FOW didn’t go for a typical wall fight. Instead, they executed a surprise midgate assault, fanning out onto the wall after breaching the center gate.
But RJ was ready. With healing archers sustaining the front line and a formidable wall of heavy infantry, they crushed FOW’s first wave. FOW regrouped and tried again with a similar strategy, but RJ’s formation held strong.
All the while, FOW had yet to unleash their Trebuchets. It didn’t matter—RJ comfortably defended and took Game 1.
Game 2 – Sides Swapped: RJ Attacks, FOW Defends
FOW left Point A open. RJ seized the opportunity, charging forward with a clean troop composition. While a small team of heroes split off to secure Point B, RJ’s main force pushed through the right flank toward the Base Camp’s front Supply Point.
FOW scrambled to respond, falling back to set up defense at the Base. But RJ struck fast and wide—sending flanking troops through the rear and right-side passage.
With well-timed reinforcements and perfect pressure, RJ overwhelmed the defenders inside the Base and secured a decisive 2-0 victory.
