3 days later, the Promotion Tournant finally started.
The usual comntator preceded over the popular event in England.
"Ladies and gentlen, welco to the Promotion Tournant, the talent breeding ground where the best players get a chance at competing and showcasing their skills at the pro stage".
"After months since the portal was open, the registration portal finally closed and today, the first qualification round begins".
"358 teams registered for the Promotion Tournant this ti".
"Among them are well-known clubs that we know before now, and new teams that we are seeing for the first ti. Will there be an underdog this ti?"
"No one knows, but one thing is for sure".
"Warstar tournants are always exciting!"
"Now, grab your popcorns, strap your seatbelts, and enjoy the show".
"As is customary, the first 6 weeks shall be reserved for the free for all battle royale, a round where all the teams will be placed in large-scale battlefield arenas, a test to weed the pretenders away from the challengers".
"At the end of 6 weeks of bloodshed, only 8 teams shall remain to participate in the main playoffs event".
"Don’t miss a thing!"
The Promotion Tournant was just like the comntator described.
It was the ultimate battleground for rising legends, the one shot at securing a coveted spot in the Pro Alliance.
At first, it was 313 competing teams but within the last few days of registration, 55 more teams registered.
With 358 teams vying for eight available spots in the playoffs, the tournant’s opening round was nothing short of a bloodbath.
Like the comntator said, to separate contenders from pretenders, the tournant opened with a Battle Royale format.
For six weeks, teams would engage in relentless combat across a massive battlefield, a shifting warzone filled with strategic chokepoints, hidden dangers, and limited safe zones. A location where skill and teamwork could blossom.
The goal?
Survive.
By the end of the battle royale phase, only eight teams would remain.
After the format on the Battle Royale was drawn across the period of 6 weeks, for the first day battle, Club Echelon was not drafted.
For the first day battle, 10 teams out of the 358 competed.
Only the last 2 surviving would progress.
The battlefield stretched across a vast, ever-changing landscape, ranging from forests and deserts to abandoned cities and cursed ruins.
As soon as the tournant began, the warzone erupted into pure carnage.
Before the tournant, many teams had co in confident, arrogant, thinking they had what it took to claim a Pro Alliance spot.
Afterall, fighting against fellow casuals in the ga with a bit of skill had an infuriating habit of inflating ego.
For these delusional guys, they only needed 10 minutes and that illusion was brutally shattered, suddenly forced to face reality.
A team of nobodies from the lower ranks found themselves pitted against Apex Reign, a team led by two retired pro players.
They barely lasted twenty seconds.
The Kill Leaderboard updated instantly.
[Apex Reign – 4 Kills]
Not 4 players, but 4 teams.
Apex Reign wiped out 4 teams!
As the first major execution of the tournant, the first day battle set the tone. This wasn’t a casual scrimmage.
This was war.
At the end of the day, Apex Reign and one other team survived, every other team brutally demoted out of the tournant.
...
Day 2...
This ti, 13 teams competed.
Today, the location was in the Desert Plains, one of the more popular arena locations in the ga. There, a vicious skirmish unfolded between 13 teams.
Chaos Inc., a mid-tier rising guild in the Heavenly Domain created a team, and today they were the stand-out perforrs.
Having strategically positioned themselves atop the dunes, they forced most teams that ran into them into a harrowing no-win scenario.
For the next twenty minutes, they rained destruction upon any prey that dared approach them, claiming the most kills.
Atop the dunes, they were unstoppable.
Snipers picking off isolated teams, mages conjuring sandstorms to blind their enemies, traps hidden beneath the dunes, catching unsuspecting teams in explosive devastation.
They showed that they were a step above the rest of their competitors.
By the ti the dust settled, the leaderboard updated again.
[Chaos Inc – 8 Kills]
They annihilated 8 teams singlehandedly!
They may not have killed all the players of the 8 teams they annihilated themselves, but their attacks was what dealt the killing blow to the last surviving mbers of the 8 teams.
Singlehandedly, they wiped out more than half of the competing teams.
Those who underestimated them did not live to tell the tale.
The other team that qualified among them only wiped out 2 teams, but that was enough to qualify with them since 2 teams were needed to qualify.
...
Day 3...
Not all battle royales were one-sided massacres.
Unlike in Day 1 and Day 2 when Apex Reign and Chaos Inc. dominated respectively, on Day 3, the battle royale was much tighter and more exciting.
In the Ruined City, there were nurous stunning skirmishes across the location, but so stood out...
In the Ruined City, a team of no-nas, Silverfang, found themselves cornered by Iron Brigade, a team ford by a high-ranking guild known for its rciless aggression in the ga.
Outnumbered five to ten, it should’ve been an easy wipe, except...
Silverfang didn’t go down.
Rather, they fought. They fought with calculated precision, they used the environnt to their advantage, clawing themselves away from predicted defeat.
Setting explosive ambushes in abandoned buildings, forcing Iron Brigade into choke points as they cleverly used the terrain, while countering brute force with strategy, they managed to do the impossible.
One by one, Iron Brigade fell, their fans stunned in disbelief.
Other upsets like this happened on Day 3, exciting the neutral fans to no end. And when the dust settled, the leaderboard updated once more.
[Silverfang – 2 Kills]
[QuickRain – 1 Kill]
A team with only 1 team wipe managed to progress, leaving all the others. This was because among the nurous teams with 1 team wipe, they killed the most players in the battle royale.
And most shocking of all, Silverfang, the underdog team managed to wipe out 2 teams, progressing as the best team.
A nobody team had just taken down multiple higher-rated teams.
The neutral crowd watching from the virtual arenas exploded in cheers.
And then,
Day 4...
