Maginot, a high DM Troll attacker. And Jrog tried his Nox attecher from the last round again. It was a great team dynamic and everyone helped each other. Especially in the last days everyone was incredible selfless and only so we were able to secure the win<br> |

− | Realm 10 did run away while killing all their competition (sometimes the competition killed themselves for them). Early game was uneventful. Everyone was hitting bots and watching #10 get bigger and bigger by feeding on people not paying attention to their op. After 2 Weeks no one was left to threaten them in any way and they were free to 5:4 everyone who entered their range. | + | Realm 10 did run away while killing all their competition (sometimes the competition killed themselves for them).
