Chapter 200: A legendary matchday [1]

---<VICTORY>---

[Phoenix Rising: 10 points]

[Stormborn Esports: 0 point]

The first game of the 12th season of the English Pro Alliance was a thriller. Phoenix Rising secured a flawless victory against Stormborn Esports.

It was the perfect debut game for the new season that the media and the league organizers could have ever wished for. A perfect thriller, an exciting game filled with dominance, skill, and finesse, all sponsored by a legendary Phoenix Rising team led by the increasingly legendary Dain Ironvalor and its controller, Gabriel Ironwall.

Gabriel Ironwall... it was not his surname and yet that was what Gabriel was called these days, and it started after Phoenix Rising’s captain led the club to a 4th consecutive RPG champions league win, right on Cyber Squad’s heels.

On matchday 1, Gabriel Ironwall led his team to another dominant win, cementing the purple reign of his club as the benchmark in the English Pro Alliance after Cyber Squad’s fall.

That was just one game in the matchday though.

Matchday 1 had more games, and the first few games fanned the flames of passion burning in the hearts of the fans.

In previous seasons of the English Pro Alliance, matchday 1 is usually stretched across days, mostly 3 days, pro clubs clashing in the first game of the season for supremacy.

But this season, the 12th season of the English Pro Alliance, the English FA tried a new format, employing the format of the last matchday on the first matchday.

This was why 4 games were scheduled to be played at the same time... 3:00pm.

2 were already played, but at the same time, 2 games were yet to be concluded, having extended to cover more time than the first 2 games.

Phoenix Rising’s game was a thriller, but the game between Cerberus Core and Avalon Sovereign was not any less high-staked and filled with tension.

Like Phoenix Rising, Avalon Sovereign was the club at home but that did not make them escape the fury of the visitors.

Avalon started on the front foot, riding the energy of their home fans who filled the stadium and sailing their passion to secure quick double wins in the individual battle round.

Even Cerberus’ captain lost against the Avalon captain in the first individual battle. And yet, they could not claim a clean wipe in the individual battle round as Cerberus’ vice-captain secured a narrow win against her opponent.

That victory broke the Avalon momentum, but only slightly.

In the 3 vs 3 battle round, Avalon came out with even more hype and energy. They won convincingly, taking their total points tally to 4 points against their opponent’s 1 point.

And yet, it was in the team battle that all hell broke loose, their momentum broken by sheer willpower of their opponents and their seamless teamwork.

Cerberus Core, a team with a core of bestial Avatars exploded when it mattered in the team battle, staying huddled and compact in enemy ground, against not just the pro players standing against them but also against the tens of thousands of fans jeering them in the stadium.

In the end, only one man was left standing... Cerberus’ vice-captain, a Combat Mage.

Cerberus Core won against all odds.

It was a battle with a crazy twist, and now, all the focus went to the last 2 battles, mostly on one club that was tipped to return to their best this season, the Caster-led Cyber Squad.

The team battle already started.

[Cyber Squad: 3 points]

[Lionheart Legacy: 2 points]

Cyber Squad claimed a clean sweep of their opponents in the individual battle round, Stinger of War leading the way with a win over the opposition to an eventual flawless 3-0 win.

That performance left the stadium in London boiling in excitement, Cyber Squad fans bellowing war chants.

"The Battle God is back!" They sang.

And yet, despite the hype and excitement in the stadium, in the 3 vs 3 battle rush, Caster, Cyber Squad’s captain made an inexplicable decision, omitting himself from the 3 vs 3 battle rush squad.

It led to protests from the home fans, booing their own players but Caster didn’t budge or make a last minute change, leading to a brutal knockout by their opponents. Lionheart Legacy won the 3 vs 3 battle rush.

It led to outrage in the stadium.

While the fans questioned their captain though, none of the Cyber Squad players protested. They understood his decision, and they believed in him.

It was a tactical decision because while the opposition captain fought with his all to secure the grueling victory, Caster kept himself fresh for the team battle. Caster aimed to create an all-time dominant performance against a famous team.

And he did.

BAM!

As soon as the game started, Stinger of War exploded, embodying the spirit of the Battle God Avatar.

That afternoon, on the big screen, Cyber Squad were driven through the memory lane. They saw the Battle God again after so long of being leashed.

The Battle God, in his full glory wreaked havoc across enemy lines, leading a changed Cyber Squad team to a dominant team victory.

Individually, Caster claimed the man of the match award as with Stinger of War, he secured a legendary 3v1, snuffing the life out of 3 different enemy Avatars on the chaotic battlefield, including the enemy captain’s Avatar.

At the end, no one remembered the 3 vs 3 battle rush.

At the end, tens of thousands of fans bellowed across the stadium.

"BATTLE GOD!"

"BATTLE GOD!"

"BATTLE GOD!"

It was a crazy one-man army performance from Caster; he put on a show for the fans. He gave them what they loved and wanted.

[Cyber Squad: 8 points]

[Lionheart Legacy: 2 points]

...

Cyber Squad’s victory was confirmed before the final 3:00pm game came to an end. Pendragon Esports vs Exo Genesis was the most conservative game of the 3:00pm games.

Both teams were even, and instead of going for a reckless all-out battle, they choose a conservative and measured battle.

In the individual battle round, after 3 grueling battles that were all pushed to the time limit, Exo Genesis secured a 2-1 advantage over the home side.

And yet, in the 3 vs 3 battle rush, Pendragon Esports made their comeback. Like in the individual battle round, Exo Genesis was initially leading again but home advantage played a more significant role this time.

"BOOOOOOO!!!"

The sound was deafening.

The boos drowning the Exo Genesis players was earsplitting. No matter how professional the players were, when faced against such a raucous atmosphere, they could not stay calm.

It was in the final clash of the 3 vs 3 battle rush that one of the players made a big blunder due to the pressure, allowing the Pendragon player to take advantage and make a stunning comeback.

The arena for the battle was a treacherous one, set on an active volcano. Due to his blunder, the Pendragon Avatar managed to push his enemy into the smoldering depths of the volcano, his Avatar suffering the fate of being burned alive.

He died in less than 5 seconds.

Just like that, Pendragon Esports started their comeback, now leading their opponents 3-2 in points.

Now, everything pointed to the team battle being the decider and both teams prepared for it with passion and determination.

In the end, none of all that mattered though, because the game was tight and even. Both teams pushed each other all the way.

An Exo Genesis player died first, but an opposition player from Pendragon died within 10 seconds to follow the first death. Their substitutes arrived at the same time, making it an even battle again.

The 2nd and 3rd deaths happened at the same time. Both Clerics were targeted, and both teams let it happen so they could deal more damage to their enemies in return using their Clerics as bait.

Both Clerics died at the same time. Once again, still no advantage.

Their 2nd substitutes entered the game at the same time. This was when Pendragon Esports finally took the lead, their captain securing a vital advantage by killing the enemy Paladin.

That opened Exo Genesis up, an advantage that spiraled into the eventual win. It was an advantage, but it didn’t make the struggle to clinch the victory any easier for the home side.

Pendragon Esports fought tooth and nail for their win, and at the end, only 2 of their Avatars were left standing, battered and both at red health.

It was a close victory, but Pendragon Esports didn’t care about the details.

What mattered is that theyw on.

[Pendragon Esports: 8 points]

[Exo Genesis: 2 points]

They secured all 3 points.

The score line at the end didn’t reflect the grueling nature of the game. Exo Genesis played a good game in enemy ground.

After that game, Warstar fans across the country had a chance to rest. A basic English Pro Alliance game lasts an hour and 20 minutes; 80 minutes. 10 minutes for each individual battle, 3 in total; 20 minutes for the 3 vs 3 battle rush, and 30 minutes for the team battle.

Most teams finish their games before time, but this is the normal timeframe, giving enough time for fans to rest before the next round of games.

The next round of games would start at 4:00pm.
