England, London...

(English Pro Alliance:)
(Matchday 38 of 38:)
(Cyber Squad vs Phoenix Rising)
(Ti: 7:20pm)
...
[Cyber Squad: 2 points]
[Phoenix Rising: 3 points]
The ga was played in Cyber Squad’s ho stadium.
All season, in the absence of the familiar legends of the biggest Warstar pro club in England, Cyber Squad had struggled all season in the league.
At the beginning of the season, it was a total disaster as they fell agonizingly close to the relegation spots in the table.
And yet, despite how grim it beca, despite how hard the criticism ca, surprisingly, the young Caster was able to take it all.
The young teenager confessed to have t with God Noah in the ga where he received advise from the club legend. Since then, his performances improved significantly in the league.
And yet, it was still a rocky season for Cyber Squad, until this ga... tonight.
Cyber Squad reserved the best for last.
Caster reserved his best performance of the season for last.
Unlike earlier in the season when the visage of Stinger of War infused him with foolish pride, affecting his performances; these days, Caster already learned to deal with his pride and fully inherit Stinger of War, inheriting the legacy of the Battle God.
Ga after ga since his first encounter with Lord Doom in the ga, and their subsequent etings, Caster learned a lot.
And finally, his talent could blossom.
It truly blossod tonight, on the last ga of the season.
For the individual battle round, despite the fact that his pride and the pride of the club was on the line, in the first battle, Caster refused to co out as the first combatant after seeing Dain Ironvalor co out.
Caster was an extrely talented younger. And like most talented youngsters, he had pride, a lot of it but now, reason reigned over his pride.
Caster had very high APM, he was skilled, and yet tonight, he realized that even with Stinger of War, he stood no chance against the current best player of the English Pro Alliance.
This season, Gabriel was on course to winning a 2nd consecutive MVP-award as the best player of the season.
This was why Caster took the sensible decision of throwing the first individual duel against Phoenix Rising. And this was also despite playing in their ho stadium.
At first, the Cyber Squad ho fans filling the stadium didn’t like it, voicing out their discontent with views as another player entered the arena against Phoenix Rising’s Dain Ironvalor.
And like expected, Gabriel tyrannically tore his opponent apart in record ti. And yet, the fans later learned to love Caster’s seemingly cowardly decision.
Despite throwing the first fight, deliberately letting Phoenix Rising win without struggling, in the 2nd individual duel, Caster kickstarted his plan.
For the 2nd duel, he entered the arena against Phoenix Rising’s representative, another Combat Mage.
For this duel, not only was Caster’s Stinger of War Avatar a better equipped and stronger Avatar, but he also had the ho advantage.
Not just that, Caster’s determination was unstoppable.
BOOM!
The clash of Combat Mages started, lasting a significant period of ti and yet, throughout, Caster never lost the initiative once.
From beginning to end, he hunted and eventually tore his opponent apart.
And just like that, Phoenix Rising’s seemingly unstoppable montum was halted singlehanded by Caster, building the foundation for the 3rd individual duel.
For the 3rd individual duel, Caster sent his Vice Captain up to fight.
Isabelle’s Stormborn Valor, the Paladin entered the arena to welco Phoenix Rising’s Warlock.
With Caster having set the tempo already, Isabella was excited. She was ready, and she didn’t hesitate, as soon as the duel started she exploded into action.
Against an insidious class like the Warlock clash, Isabella faced a lot of treachery and hidden danger when pursuing her opponent, but in the end, her Paladin proved resilient enough against the deadly tricks of the Warlock.
She cut through all his illusions, pushed through every mirage, and erged victorious, slaying him down with the edge of her blade.
And so, Cyber Squad did it.
They won the individual battle.
BOOM!
You had to see the atmosphere in the crowd.
The crowd seethed like rippling waves in an ocean, setting off a chain reaction as Cyber Squad fans celebrated excitedly like they already won the ga.
The atmosphere in the stadium went haywire.
Caster’s radical strategy worked. Cyber Squad was on top, but not for long.
The 3 vs 3 battle rush rolled in, and in this ga, with Phoenix Rising pulling out with their captain, their Warlock, and an Elentalist, Cyber Squad’s chances were thin to begin with.
Afterall, despite the individual skill of the Phoenix Rising players, the club was better known as a well-oiled machine of slaughter led by Dain Ironvalor.
Their teamwork was seamless like parts of a machine.
And knowing this, Caster continued his scheming. He excluded himself from the 3 vs 3 battle rush entirely, sending in Isabella, his Vice Captain and Paladin, Smith, the chanic controller, and Cleon, the team’s cleric.
The 3 vs 3 battle rush’s mission was simple. By combining a Paladin, a chanic, and a Cleric in a team formation, Caster ordered them not to win, but rather to frustrate the hell out of their opponents.
His intentions were clear; he wanted to frustrate and harass the Phoenix Rising players ntally, intending to get into their head.
When Isabella realized it, she shivered.
’W-when did he suddenly beco such a frightening strategist?’
If Isabella could understand Caster’s intentions, Gabriel could too, but it didn’t matter. Understanding his intentions would not change anything.
In the end, Phoenix Rising wanted to win as fast as possible to not waste energy which played right into Caster’s plan.
3..., 2..., 1!
FIGHT!
When the clash started, Phoenix Rising went all out in attack to quickly annihilate their opponents but against a team that had a Cleric, a resourceful chanic, and a defensive Paladin, there was no chance in hell that this team would be annihilated anyti soon.
The team held against Phoenix Rising’s offensive, Isabella leading with skill and experience to frustrate their opponents.
They did everything in their power to stay alive.
In the end, despite the fact that they could not exhaust the ti allocated to the 3 vs 3 battle rush, they still did enough to frustrate their players.
Gabriel knew Caster’s intentions; he knew exactly what his opponent was planning but he still couldn’t help feeling incensed that they actually did it.
Caster’s plan worked.
Most of the ho fans didn’t like it though. It was too passive, and they didn’t understand it, but those who did understand knew that they now had a chance.
And finally, the team battle rolled in.
[Cyber Squad: 2 points]
[Phoenix Rising: 3 points]
Phoenix Rising was ahead now but the ga was up for grabs.
For the final round of this ga, the team battle, Cyber Squad would go all out. This ti, Caster was ready to embrace his Avatar’s Battle God title.
For the ho fans, finally! Their eyes ignited with excitent as they could feel the unrelenting energy now exuded by their captain.
And finally, the clash started.
BOOM!
It was intense, crazy, harrowing.
Led by a rampaging Caster who seed to have lost all reason, giving in to his rapid APM, no one seed capable of keeping up with him and yet with him this way, Isabella smoothly took command from him.
She led the team to keep up with Caster.
Cyber Squad fought tooth and nail, giving their all. It was undoubtedly the best team battle of their whole season, each player playing his role to perfection, and yet... they were up against Phoenix Rising.
They were up against Dain Ironvalor, and his team of offense zealots.
The first player to die in the clash was Phoenix Rising’s, including the 2nd and yet in one fell swoop, Dain Ironvalor slaughtered 3 players in a sequence of re seconds, chaining a perfect sequence of low-level Paladin skills.
That deviation, that oversight, that mont of individual brilliance from the MVP-candidate of the season... it decided the ga.
Cyber Squad lost.
