Match 1: YB VS LOS [Hidden City / Dasuo Fort] 3-0
Round 1 (YB attack - LOS defend, Hidden City)
LOS started off with a poor unit composition, leaving them 500 troops behind YB right from the get-go. The first clash broke out at the left supply gate, but after YB capped Point A and pushed up the left stairs, they were wiped out by LOS’s cavalry sweeping back in. No sweat—YB immediately surged through the main gate, set the left flank ablaze with Siphonarioi at the core, swiftly seized the left supply point, and forced LOS to turtle up at base. Outnumbered and outgunned, LOS just couldn’t hold the line—YB stormed the final push and took Game 1 with style.
Round 2 (LOS attack - YB defend, Hidden City)
YB came out swinging, repelling LOS’s attempt at the towers and forcing them toward the main gate. With a shorter supply line and numbers advantage, YB took small fights and then stalled on the walls. Even with LOS using trebuchets and terrain to inch up on Point A, YB’s relentless attrition wore them down. The timer expired with LOS never able to capture—the scoreboard reads 2-0 YB.
Round 3 (LOS attack - YB defend, Dasuo Fort)
The two teams locked horns at the middle gate, but YB’s artillery fire combined with tight Siphonarioi formations absolutely crushed LOS in the gate tunnel—first blood to YB. LOS regrouped and tried pushing left at the stairs, but YB split their forces to hit the flank, outnumbering them again. Time ticked away and LOS ran out of options—YB sweeps the series 3-0 and marches on!

Round 1 (HF attack - WSS defend, Hidden City)

Using Siphonarioi in the main lane and distraction tactics on the right, HF snagged the right supply point, forcing WSS back. In a brutal B point brawl, WSS fended off the initial wave, but depleted their units and couldn’t hold base. HF claims Game 1!
Round 2 (WSS attack - HF defend, Hidden City)
WSS went for B off the rip but got sandwiched by HF flanking from the rear. A quick cavalry response let WSS steal the left supply point.

Round 3 (WSS attack - HF defend, Wall Fort)
WSS made their move at the shattered wall, but then turned to climb straight to Point A.

WSS hit the defenders from behind with cavalry for the win—2-1 lead to WSS!
Round 4 (HF attack - WSS defend, Wall Fort)
A dicey start for WSS as their unit setup left them down almost 600 troops. HF massed up left of Point C, and when WSS’s forward push ignored the critical stair troops, HF steamrolled the fight, capped Point C, and surged for base. WSS tried to encircle with cav but got blocked—HF took the win and leveled it 2-2!
Round 5 (Grasslands)

With just 1:30 left on the clock, WSS flipped the capture and pulled off a stunning comeback to snatch the series and advance!
