Imperium Tyrannus won.
[Juggernaut: 0 point]
[Imperium Tyrannus: 6 points]
It was a flawless victory.
Hours after the ga, the English Warstar community still couldn’t believe the result of the 2nd Quarterfinal ga of the Warstar RPG Champions League.
Every season, apart from the compelling gas across the 38-ga league campaign, the most exciting part of the Pro Alliance to fans was always the Warstar RPG Champions League.
Afterall, only the best teams make it there.
And the best players in the league play in the best teams.
In the playoff round, there is enough drama, enough rivalry, and enough skill in display to entertain the millions of Warstar fans that tune in to watch the clashes.
This was why the result of the 2nd Quarterfinal ga was so shocking.
All 6 pro clubs that made the top 6 did not make it there due to a fluke or sothing. Literally, they were the best 6 teams in all of England’s Warstar Pro Alliance out of a league of 20 pro clubs!
Imperium Tyrannus winning was not what shocked the Warstar fanbase in the country, rather, it was the audacious margin that they won by.
A flawless victory in the playoffs was unprecedented!
Afterall, the English Pro Alliance only employed the new point system used in the World Championship this season.
In all the 11 seasons of the English Pro Alliance, never have a team claid a flawless victory in the playoff round.
Imperium Tyrannus created history at the expense of their opponents.
Imperium played a thorough ga against their opponents, blowing them out of the water with a solid display that imdiately catapulted them to the top of the favorite rankings among the teams remaining in the playoff round.
As for Juggernaut?
They were shad in the biggest stage of England’s Warstar pro scene, and even their own fans were not lenient on the pro players.
The fans turned on their players right there at the stadium.
BOO!
Loud boos filled the stadium as they showed their dissatisfaction concerning the performance of their team. Majority of fans trudged out of the stadium imdiately after the victory screen flashed.
While Juggernaut fans showed their displeasure to their team, Imperium Tyrannus fans celebrated at the top of their lungs.
In the buildup to the ga, they had no way to know that their team could do it. Afterall, Juggernaut was also a powerhouse of the English Pro Alliance.
Not even in their wildest dreams did they expect their team to secure a flawless victory against Juggernaut.
Amid the contrasting emotions at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the conclusion of the playoff Quarterfinal round, the semifinal draw was finally complete and it was broadcasted on the gigantic 3-way holographic projection in the middle of the stadium.
[Playoff Round:]
[Quarterfinal One: Nightfall vs Oblivion Knights]
[Winner: Nightfall]
...
[Quarterfinal Two: Juggernaut vs Imperium Tyrannus]
[Winner: Imperium Tyrannus]
...
[Semifinal Seed One: Phoenix Rising vs Nightfall]
[Semifinal Seed Two: Scarlet Rose vs Imperium Tyrannus]
The semifinal round was scheduled to start in 3 days. The first semifinal ga would be played on Wednesday, while the other semifinal ga would be played the next day on Thursday.
The final of the Warstar RPG Champions League was scheduled to take place on Sunday, officially concluding the 11th season of the English Pro Alliance.
2 clubs were already eliminated from the playoff tournant, and now the best 4 were left to fight it out in the semifinals.
Like expected, Juggernaut and Oblivion Knights were forgotten in no ti as the attention focused on the last 4 teams, Phoenix Rising, Nightfall, Scarlet Rose, and Imperium Tyrannus.
The publicity on the wake of the semifinal was massive.
Not just on social dia platforms by the Pro Alliance, the fans also did their own form of publicity. In streets across England, banners and murals were made of the best players of the 4 clubs, mostly predominant in the club’s ho cities.
Among the banners and murals made in the streets, 3 Avatars stole the show.
Phoenix Rising’s Dain Ironvalor...
Scarlet Rose’s Crimson Saint...
And Imperium Tyrannus’ Aeloria Nightflare...
The popularity of Gabriel’s Dain Ironvalor and Jonathan’s Crimson Saint was no surprise, the big surprise this ti was the sudden popularity challenge posed by Imperium Tyrannus’ Aeloria Nightflare.
In the English Pro Alliance, the Mage Avatar had always been famous, one of the star Avatars with its controller, and yet its popularity was never on the level of the big guns, the true superstars, until after the Quarterfinal ga.
Imperium Tyrannus’ victory over Juggernaut was so thorough and eye-catching that the captain responsible for leading them to victory got most of the attention, shooting him to even greater popularity.
Imperium Tyrannus was now acknowledged as one of the favorites among the 4 challengers remaining in the Warstar RPG Champions League.
While the fans did all the fanfare, and the dia fanned the flas of the looming war, the 4 clubs locked themselves in their basent, training for the penultimate period of the season like their lives depended on it.
And while they trained, unknown to them, away from the spotlight, a certain Club Echelon also did its preparations, training in the dark, throwing off dust even as they prepared for the new season while predicting who would win the Warstar RPG Champions League this season.
England, London...
Club Echelon’s building.
Today, Noah decided to give the club’s chef a day off, deciding to take care of the cooking for the team.
In the immaculately assembled kitchen, Noah fiddled with the cooking utensils in wonder, most of them being new to him. He had a subtle smile on his face as he already had an idea of what food he would make.
While he enjoyed himself in the kitchen, his friends sprawled lazily in the player lounge, resting after an intense bout of PKing among themselves.
Benjamin took the remote, switching on the lounge’s virtual projector just in ti to stumble on another advert of the Warstar RPG Champions League.
Seeing the 4 club emblems that were displayed on the screen, he tsked. "Say, which of the teams do you guys think will win this ti?"
"Phoenix Rising". Aria answered without looking.
Genevieve looked at the virtual projection. "This season, Phoenix Rising are even stronger than last season after their experience in the World Championship".
"Scarlet Rose are in form, but I’ll bet my money on Phoenix Rising".
Caleb raised his head, piercing the virtual projection with an overly serious expression. "Statistically..."
Benjamin sighed, cutting him off. "Not today man, I an, co on buddy, can’t you relax sotis?"
"Must it always be statistics and numbers?" He sighed in exasperation.
"Can’t you just give a casual answer sotis?"
Caleb looked at him, slightly confused. "What is the essence of answering if my answer is not statistically correct?"
Benjamin sighed again and pald his face. "That’s the essence of answering, doofus, for the fun of it".
Caleb frowned. "You answer a question for the fun of it?"
He hesitated. "But you’ll fail the question".
Benjamin looked at his friend so more, not knowing if he should make a pun joke or not. In the end, he just waved his arms tired. "Nevermind, forget I asked".
Seeing both of them, Aria chuckled.
Benjamin trudged into the kitchen, leaning on the wall as he looked into the kitchen. Noting that Noah just started cooking, he asked. "Who do you think will win?"
Noah answered without looking up.
"I think Scarlet Rose can win".
"Oh..."
...
After 3 days of speculation, hype, and anticipation in preparation for the big day, finally, the D-day was here.
England, Manchester, Etihad Stadium...
The venue for the first semifinal ga of the Warstar RPG Pro Alliance was the Etihad Stadium in Manchester City, one of the best stadiums in England.
That night, the stadium was filled to the brim with tens of thousands of Warstar fans, either supporting Phoenix Rising or Nightfall.
When the 2 team buses drove into town, it created a frenzy on the streets.
The yellow bus was for team Phoenix Rising, while the black bus was for team Nightfall. The yellow bus arrived first and Phoenix Rising fans went haywire, flooding the streets of Manchester as they escorted their players to the stadium.
The Nightfall team bus ca soti later.
After both teams entered the stadium, a few minutes later, the music entertainnt started and like before, it was another famous artist.

The popular South Korean singer and songwriter’s identity was hidden till the last mont. And when he climbed the stage, the fans went haywire in excitent.
Jung Kook perford so of his biggest hits, exciting the fans to no end, and setting the stage for the epic video ga clash that was about to follow.
