Chapter 184: 11th Final of the Warstar RPG Champions League; Phoenix Rising vs Scarlet Rose [4]

[Phoenix Rising: 1 point]

[Scarlet Rose: 5 points]

The atmosphere in Wembley Stadium exploded.

Scarlet Rose won the 3 vs 3 battle rush!

No one saw this coming, not even in the wildest of dreams, not even the staunchest of Scarlet Rose believes and supporters saw it coming. In the wake of that victory, Wembley Stadium turned into a cauldron of noise.

BOOM!

Fans in red across the stadium jumped to their feet, hugging, screaming at the top of their lungs as the highlights of the battle was replayed on the 3-way holographic screen.

Watching the moment again ignited the atmosphere in this stadium, setting off sparks in the air and creating a contrasting atmosphere where fans in the red of Scarlet Rose jubilated exuberantly, while Phoenix Rising fans watched in stunned silence.

Their team lost the 3 vs 3 battle rush. It was such a shocking reality that they failed to come to terms with it.

And again, Scarlet Rose shattered another Phoenix Rising record.

Since Dain Ironvalor’s reign started, taking the helm of the Phoenix Rising ship, the club was unstoppable. In all their playoff games across the past 3 consecutive seasons, this was the first 3 vs 3 battle rush that they lost.

Not only did Scarlet Rose dominate the individual battle round due to Jonathan’s insidious strategy, taking down Dain Ironvalor, but also his radical strategy and Chris’ brilliance now won them the 3 vs 3 battle rush.

"Jonathan!" "Jonathan!" "Jonathan!"

"Chris!" "Chris!" "Chris!"

From the Crimson Saint chants, the excited Scarlet Rose fans acknowledged the performances of their 2 star players.

After the 3 vs 3 battle rush, there was a short break for the players to rest their burning fingers and also for the fans to catch their breath. During this time, both teams were also given the time to finalize their tactics for the final team battle of their respective seasons.

The arena was already decided.

[Arena Location: Frost Hell]

[Description: In an ancient era, before the dawn of Human supremacy, there lived a Frost King and his army. After his death and burial, the energy contained in his body spread, corrupting the world, turning it into a frozen hell. His minions became Frost Wraiths. His kingdom is now an uninhabitable hell.]

[Hazards: Continuous frost damage, and Frost Wraith attacks.]

The break of the final was longer than the other games of the playoff round. Also, there was a reason why the music entertainment was not scheduled for before the game like usual.

This was because tonight, it was a halftime show.

The musician in question?

Nightingale took the stage as the guest performer for the 11th final of the Warstar RPG Champions League, and he killed the show.

It was an energy-filled performance drawing at the heart strings of the players. At the end of the electric performance, the fans were rested and hyped enough for the conclusion of the final of the Warstar RPG Champions League.

And finally, the commentators started the main event.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time".

"The moment of truth".

"The final 30 minutes of the final of the Warstar RPG Champions League".

"The moment that will decide the 11th champion of the Warstar RPG Champions League".

"At the beginning, it seemed like Scarlet Rose were the underdogs but the circumstances have changed since then. Now, the men in red are leading".

"Not just leading, they’re dominating!"

"Can Scarlet Rose actually do it?"

"Is this their night or will Dain Ironvalor orchestrate a comeback for the reigning champions?"

"And that’s the thing! No one knows the answer".

"And that’s why I can’t wait to see it play out. This has the potential to become the greatest final of the decade!"

[LOADING...]

The players loaded into the arena.

For one of the 2 clubs, nothing changed. Phoenix Rising started with the same lineup, Dain Ironvalor leading his all-out offensive lineup of a Paladin, 2 Elementalists, a Combat Mage, and a Warlock.

As for Scarlet Rose, for the final, Jonathan made a change, finally calling one of the sub players in his team to the fore. The Gunner who secured the all-important victory in the 3 vs 3 battle rush was benched.

After such a grueling battle, he was yet to fully recover.

Scarlet Rose started with a starting V lineup led by Crimson Saint; comprising 2 Paladins, an Elementalist, a Launcher, and a Cleric.

It was the moment of truth.

In those few seconds before the clash started, the tension in Wembley Stadium hit a crescendo.

And then, it started.

BOOM!

Scarlet Rose’s Launcher opened the game with a devastating salvo.

The Launcher is the one class with the highest range in Warstar, alongside the Sharpshooter class. Jonathan didn’t decide to sub the Gunner for a Launcher just because the Gunner controller was tired, it was more of a tactical change.

In terms of range, other long range classes like Gunners and Elementalists simply could not compare. And when firmly entrenched, Launchers are capable of dealing truly devastating damage from a safe distance.

Frost Hell is not one of the truly big arenas in professional Warstar, it is more of a medium-sized arena.

A well-developed max level 100 Launcher’s range can cover the full arena, making a Launcher a devastating enemy in this frozen hell.

Phoenix Rising knew this perfectly. This was why as soon as they were spawned in the arena, the Phoenix Rising players scattered, following the plan of their captain as they barely managed to avoid the brunt of the damage.

{Rocket Salvo=}

A low level Launcher skill that fires a burst of rockets that explode on impact, dealing area damage.

This was the initial attack when the players scattered, but it was not the last from the Launcher before the Phoenix Rising players could close the distance to the opposition players.

With enough distance between them, the Launcher had all the time in the world to type the complicated input for an Awakened level skill and that was exactly what he did.

He went for the most direct of the Awakened level Launcher skills, the one that could not be dodged.

{Satellite Cannon=}

Also known as Satellite Beam, this is an Awakened level Launcher skill that calls in a high-powered laser from orbit, dealing continuous damage in a targeted area. It was a truly devastating skill.

Having a Launcher in this arena was truly like having a cheat, but Gabriel anticipated it all. It was why he made his team scatter.

Also, he already made peace with the fact that one of his teammates would be targeted by the Launcher after they scattered. He just hoped he was the one who was targeted.

Alas, the Launcher had eyes for someone else... the Warlock.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The frost covering the ground cracked, ice evaporating in a titanic chemical reaction triggered by the consecutive laser blasts.

The Warlock suffered.

And yet, in that little time, the first Phoenix Rising player finally arrived at the rendezvous point. Dain Ironvalor arrived first having asked his teammates to deliberately move slower.

Only him could face what would follow next in his team.

At the middle point of the arena stood the palace of the Ancient Frost King, the only place protected from the damaging cold.

As soon as Dain Ironvalor arrived, he was ambushed!

But anticipating it, the Paladin defended himself valiantly, avoiding a damaging injury immediately as he faced an all-out attack from 4 enemy Avatars led by Jonathan’s Crimson Saint himself.

Dain Ironvalor was barely good enough to hold his ground for a few seconds till his teammates arrived, and that was when all hell broke loose.

The palace of the Ancient Frost King is a strategic location. The team that secures it first would have an advantage simply because the threat of the Launcher will be nullified, and they’ll also be protected from the biting cold that deals passive damage to all Avatars exposed to it.

The Launcher’s attacks cannot penetrate the roof of the gigantic structure to the Avatars fighting to the death inside it.

This was why when the Launcher attacked, forcing their opponents to scatter, the other Scarlet Rose players went straight to the palace to secure it.

But that was also why Dain Ironvalor led his team there to meet them though the possibility of an ambush there was very high.

BOOM!

Holding their ground ground, the 4 scarlet Rose Avatars blocked the door leading inside the palace, fighting against their opponents right there at the entrance, at a place where the Launcher could still help.

In this team battle, the Launcher was the cornerstone of the battle, the main character of this deadly game.

He kept on unleashing hell from a distance.

And now, it was a race against time. Which of the 2 teams would succumb first?

Phoenix Rising relied on their numbers advantage in the tight battle for the palace, unleashing hell against the 4 defenders with 5 Avatars.

But the enemies had a Cleric.

Not just that. Scarlet Rose depended on the support of their Launcher from a distance, which was why they focused on defense and self-preservation, letting the Launcher do the bulk of the damage from a safe distance.

For a few minutes, it was a stalemate.

A brutal, intense stalemate till the first death happened.

[Warlock Avatar, DarkLord Clotti has been eliminated!]

The Warlock died first, but he already set the foundation for his team. Afterall, a Warlock’s curses and debuffs remain even after death, weakening opponents for his teammates.

Immediately after the Warlock died though, something changed.

Phoenix Rising became more reckless and aggressive with their attacks, Dain Ironvalor leading the charge.

The Elementalists turned into artillery war machines, unleashing hell on their enemies.

And in that momentary chaos, the battlefield sang a lullaby of death.
