Each Team got points depending on the effort that they have used. The one in the lead is the Swedish National Team because of Frey\'s onslaught on all of the teams that she encounters. The second highest ones are the Russian National team that steamrolled the event with the powerful combo of Sveto and Anastacia.
The third in ranking is tied with both eight points and that is the German National Team and the Philippine National Team. For the German national team, they managed to get eight points because of the great tactics that they devised. The minds of Faust and Eis is definitely not something to scoff at and their way of handling spells is also ingenious.
The Philippine National Team ascended to this spot because of two dark horses in the game. The powerful fighter named Apolaki and the Trap Expert Dupe. Apolaki will attack bases that are available while Dupe utilized her traps to steal flags from those passing by the middle of the jungle.
The middle zone of the jungle even got called the Forbidden Zone by both players and the audience. It is Dupe that managed to get much attention as she really rose to the occasion despite being a class that did not focus on close combat. The way she laid her traps made even the tactician Faust get trapped.
She is definitely someone that needs to be watched for her great use of traps. If she is great in this vast area, then she will definitely shine on the third event that is focused on hunting monsters. Apolaki is also a scene stealer because of his masterful use of his kampilan and kris.
Apolaki and Blade even clashed a bit earlier, and they were practically matched when it comes to swordplay. Their clash only amounted to a one-minute battle because of the many enemies that arrived in their location. Blade even died once because of being ganged up while Apolaki used that chance to slip away from the fights.
The forums are raving about the matches that they have witnessed. The videos of the highlights and fights of the event are already up in the Hall of Fame for the Pandemonium streaming site. Although, some expressed their displeasure because their favorite did not do much and just protected the base.
This is especially true for Hou Yiwei and Creepysoo as the two have a steady following. Hou Yiwei is famous because he is the top ranker, but Creepysoo\'s fame came from undead players that wanted to see their prince dominate the battlefield.
The reason why the undead players are raving about Creepysoo is due to the fact that he is the most talked about individual when it comes to the undead under the banner of the Undead King. They wanted to officially see the might of the one who unlocked the undead race in the game.
The next person that has been the talk of the town is none other than Frey. Her cool and calm demeanor with the fact that she does not underestimate her opponent has garnered much attention. They thought that she wanted to win no matter what, but she is actually someone with morals and a code of conduct.
Frey never used sneak attacks in order to get the flags that she turned into points. She will appear in front of her enemies and will fight them without the aid of others. She made use of her terrain and skills in order to overpower her enemies. She fought this way because of the passive strength that Valkyries gain when enemies know that they are in battle.
The biggest talk is the being that Cersei summoned as the players of those in Pandemonium never thought that devils are actually real and not just demons. They had seen a devil before as the battle with the Blood Devil is a real thing, but she was an undead, so people never really entertained the idea that she was an actual devil.
The players actually know that undead can create fake skin for their body when they are high in mastery. This is the real encounter that the players have of a devil, and it was a god at that. Many reporters already wanted the scoop from Cersei, but they were not allowed to bother until after the second event.
Anastacia and Mariposa even congratulated Cersei for an awesome fight via their holoswatch. The number of recruits for their guild has skyrocketed which made Anastacia and Mariposa rethink if they should also go all in.
The stadium is practically almost empty as the people went out to, but they lunch. Each national team discussed their next courses of action while they were dining together. The competitive spirit of everyone became fired up due to how intense the competition really is.
For Adrian\'s group, they are having another discussion, but it is mainly Adrian, his mother and his sister. They were talking about how Apolaki fought with a sword because he has the same stances that they use when fighting. Mina is the first to notice it and he just went to tell Adrian who was glued to the screen projecting Frey\'s fight.
"This Apolaki kid is definitely from our clan. Our martial arts are not taught easily to outsiders." Adrian\'s mother stated as she could see the resemblance.. She could even say that the way Apolaki fights is also something else but the core moves is baked into his body.
