Successive to the previous week, four more matches took place over May 20th and 21st in order to finalize the standings of each group. Two battles caught the eyes of many onlookers. The Help Force were scheduled to face the Army of Club Penguin, with Special Weapons and Tactics clashing against the Water Vikings. Each army held two wins to their names, developing a high level of anticipation consequentially. Armies with two losses found themselves feuding with one another. Such battles included the People’s Imperial Confederation versing Dark Vikings, as well as a confrontation between Napalm Corps and the Penguins of Madagascar. Most of the round had conflicting predictions, resulting in outcomes that defied the expectations of some.
Napalm Corps vs. Penguins of Madagascar
The first match to take stage on Saturday was a clash between the Napalm Corps and the Penguins of Madagascar. Each army boasted similar max sizes, although the Corps were narrowly bested by two penguins. In spite of immense efforts from Napalm Corps, the Penguins managed to secure two room wins due to their impressive speed and size. Though third room resulted in a tie as a result of size drops, the battle concluded with a 2-0-1 victory for Penguins of Madagascar.
Winner – Penguins of Madagascar
Help Force vs. Army of Club Penguin
Two titans met on the battlefield to conclude Saturday, namely the Help Force and Army of Club Penguin. Both sides exerted significant strength in numbers, with Help Force outnumbering the Clovers by 10 troops. The speed, size and tactics of the Helpers culminated in a 3-0-0 victory. Despite a strong showing from the Army of Club Penguin and numerous close rooms, Help Force have managed to go undefeated within the Shadow Block.
Winner – Help Force
Dark Vikings vs. People’s Imperial Confederation
The final day of the group stage ensued with a matchup between the Dark Vikings and People’s Imperial Confederation. Though the Vikings consistently outmatched the Confederation in size, the battle lasted a challenging hour with two overtime rooms. Dark Vikings capitalized on their size and speed in the first room, with PIC later gaining an advantage in speed and tactical creativity. The Confeds managed to secure the second overtime round, culminating in a 2-1-2 win.
Winner – People’s Imperial Confederation
Water Vikings vs. Special Weapons and Tactics
Sunday came to a close with the Water Vikings taking on Special Weapons and Tactics. Battling to take the lead within the Magenta Block group, Water Vikings managed to astound spectators after amassing 38 penguins, contrasting with SWAT’s significantly smaller showing.

A 3-0-0 result has led the Water Vikings to top the Magenta Block without dropping a single room.
