Round 4 Sinerania Guild Battleground
This is the intro to a battleground report on the top-level GBG occuring in Sinerania over the Christmas/New Year period. This is just to spice up the game a little and get some interest. If people like it, I'll continue. Full disclosure, I am in Wolf Spirit. Thanks for reading.
Background
Everyone is still new on Sinerania and GBG is newer still so unlike other worlds, everything is up in the air. Whilst there is a clear favourite, everyone else is surely eager to make their mark and claim some serious rewards. Synergy Factor are the clear leaders in Sinerania, and at a higher class than the rest, it means each round they fight the four guilds with the next highest MMR, in this case at platinum level. All five guilds are strong competitors, but one notable missing guild is the second ranked Terrain Titans who, due to quirks in the MMR system missed out on joining this round. Wolf Spirit came second in the last top round and the others all (I believe) topped their lower ranked rounds.
The Battleground
Synergy Factor on the left, New Republic bottom left, Last Stand bottom right, The Pirate Ship upper right and Wolf Spirit at the top.
1st ring is lop-sided with one sector at 171 points and another only 107.
2nd ring is fairly evenly distributed with some low 60's and high 110's.
The Guilds
Synergy Factor
Ranked #1 in basically every category, the clear leaders of the server. 70 members and level 25. Clear winners of all GBG so far, and the only guild with Platinum status.
New Republic
Strong contenders with a long history in the other worlds. 60 members and level 18.
Last Stand
Currently 3rd for prestige in the server, they continue to prove themselves on this server. 66 members and level 20.
The Pirate Ship
Perhaps the underdog of this round, TPS focus on playing smart rather than winning by brute force. 42 members and level 17.
Wolf Spirit
Formed by a merger with 12 Monkeys, WS managed to secure 2nd place in the previous top battleground. 57 members and level 18.
First Moves
The round has only just started, but so far all but The Pirate Ship have leapt right into the middle, so we can expect to see an all out brawl, especially for A1 with its mighty 171 points on offer. Synergy Factor are the clear favourites, but it is clear that no-one will give up, no-one will hand over victory easily and no-one will earn a single sector without brutal fighting. This is sure to be an exciting battleground. Stay tuned for updates.
Half Way Point
We're now almost half way through the round and the battle is even more intense than anyone expected! Synergy Factor and Last Stand are fighting viciously for first place with barely a point between them.SF have recently switched to timing attacks together and operating out of the 1st ring instead of the typical line back to base. But it's not just those two guilds, New Republic and Wolf Spirit are still in the fray, making it hard for everyone. For a while NR and WS were also neck and neck for third place, but recently WS has pulled out a bit of a lead. The Pirate Ship made the early call to not waste too many resources when a high place was out of reach, perhaps saving for next round. On the plus side, just for being in this Platinum League BG they will receive a hefty 282,300 guild power and 68 SoH fragments each.
Please leave a comment etc. if you enjoy this. This is written in the spirit of fun, so keep everything positive please. If you want to add something such as a comment from your guild or a correction, feel free to PM me here or in the game (Antonia the Builder - Wolf Spirit). Thank you.
Edit: I forgot about the first round, this is of course round 4.
