As we enter Round 6, the battle for positions are closer than ever. Last round did nothing but aid in making this as interesting as it can be before the last two rounds.
This is how the League Table looks after Round 5:
PLATINUM LEAGUE | Grand Masters League |
Position | Player | Clan | Points | Played | Won | Drawn | Lost | Penalty | Games W-L |
1 | TyRanT | 11 | 5 | 3 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 8-2 | |
2 | TyRanT | 7 | 5 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 0 | 5-5 | |
3 | - | 6 | 5 | 1 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 5-5 | |
4 | TyRanT | 6 | 5 | 1 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 5-5 | |
5 | RVK | 6 | 5 | 1 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 5-5 | |
6 | - | 5 | 5 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 4-6 | |
7 | RVK | 5 | 5 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 4-6 | |
8 | CKF | 5 | 5 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 4-6 |
Baltic
FeAge takes Huns and Tim Mongols, and FeAge takes the sea in Feudal age. He then walls down the ends while raiding Tims base lightly. In Imperial, Tim masses Elite Mangudai but is unable to fully use them as FeAge maintains his advantage on sea, and takes down a couple Tim Castles with bombard ships from the sea. FeAge also takes control of all 5 relics in this game, giving him an extra boost. FeAge's combination of smart moves and military balance of paladin and skirmishers gives him the win
Regicide Fortress
A Mayan war that dropped at '13. Tim won the restore.
Summary: The point earned for FeAge keeps him in a tie for 2nd place, while a point for Tim keeps him out of sole possession of last place.
Jordan vs Chris 1-1
Regicide Fortress
Mayan war. Jordan reaches Imperial before Chris and begins the castle siege, taking down two of Chris' castles. Chris responds with a strong rush of siege rams, taking out Jordan's capped rams, and then his castles. Jordan makes a play for the game when he sends his plumed archer army into Chris' base and uses spies, but Chris has his king safely secured at home in his castle. Chris wins at '44
Nomad
Persian war, and a great one at that. Chris rushes Jordan's walled base and gets in, but Jordan fends him off with counter units. Most of the map gold is outside of Jordan's base walls, and under Chris' control. But Jordan fortifies the central hill with several castles, and is able to dismiss several attacks by Chris with trash units. Jordan eventually is able to regain a bit of the gold for himself and, by using trash units effectively, begins to push Chris back into his base. With consistent raids, he manages to secure the game in a 100 minute marathon.
Summary:
Each player takes a point, keeping Chris in a tie for 2nd, and Jordan 1 point back of the tie for 2nd.
Daut vs Ming 2-0
Yucatan
Mayan war. Both players drush, with Daut taking a slight advantage. Both players boom afterwars, and Daut applies strong pressure with trebs and rams uphill, as Ming puts up little resistance.
Ming selects Salt Marsh map for his home map, and it is not in his map pool. The game is awarded to Daut regardless of result.
Summary:
Daut takes a 3 point jump up in to a tie for 2nd place.
TheViper vs dogao 1-1
Arabia
Aztec war, dogao steals Viper's boar, and Viper decides not to use his re-start. dogao takes an early Castle Age advantage and doesnt give it up. Viper resigns as dogao reaches Imperial before him, beginning a flood of eagle warriors.
Gold Rush
Mayan war, Viper chooses to use crossbows in Castle Age while dogao opts for plumed archers. dogao reaches Imperial first but fails to establish a strong position to attack from vs the hill that Viper is sitting on. As Viper pushes through the middle gold dogao gives the 'gg' and 'gl' showing a nice display of sportsmanship.
Summary:
Each player takes a point, with dogao remaining 2 points out of 2nd place, while Viper maintains his 4 point lead heading in to week 6.
