Overview
Logical and Kyle initially planned to bring back the Penguins of Madagascar, but instead they chose to create a new identity by opening the Void Troops. Since their inception, the army found allies and their new identity with the Templars. Vitorwin, Aucracia, and Seila formed The Bastille Vanguard after the Elite Guardians shut down. The army was declared against the Army of Club Penguin in February.

Room 1 – Void Troops
Void Troops went first, they built size first and went into a bomb while Bastille Vanguard followed with a “@ BWB” bomb of their own. Initially, Void Troops formed a backwards L, while Bastille Vanguard formed a diagonal. Sizes were 9-4 in favor of VT. Void Troops did an emote flicker before ranking. Bastille Vanguard responded with another @ BWB. Void Troops formed a V as Bastille Vanguard tried to wipe and cover. TBV shifted into a horizontal line along the chat bar while VT remained inactive. Sizes adjusted to 12-5 for VT. TBV waterfalled, which slightly covered VT. Afterwards, VT slowly did an E9 tactic. VT followed with a rake, featuring yet another “@ BWB” that successfully covered TBV, then shifted into a messy chat bar line. Due to their significant size advantage, stronger formations, and more effective tactics, VT secured the win for Room 1.

Room 2 – TIE
TBV entered first, followed by VT, who was at an 11-5 disadvantage. The Vanguard led with a BWB tactic while VT made a UT formation. TBV attempted to use a gappy chat bar line tactic, but VT had numbers and could cover. While they could cover, the judges noted VT’s UT was messy, and sizes were 12-4. VT had many issues with executing tactics and had more AFKs, while TBV was better at utilizing formations. TBV launched a rake with another BWB, while VT launched a bomb. VT then transitioned to a UV, while TBV reused their diagonal formation. TBV bunched in the center, and the right side of VT’s form collapsed. VT renewed a format of tactic while TBV showed an original one, completing VT’s format. VT moved into an L, and TBV pursued once again using the uncreative “@” tactic. In the end, Room 2 was a tie.

Room 3 – The Bastille Vanguard
Void Troops had the lead coming in, and TBV was hot on their trail. Both armies opened with bombs, then converted into T formations. However, VT had two observable AFKs and gaps early on. VT looked like they would change to a dot at one point, while TBV bombed again, this time with an actual tactic. As VT moved to V, the judges remarked it was sloppy, as TBV went the whole top of the room with an unblemished horizontal line.
VT was slower to initiate their tactics, and they even struggled to cover TBV when they bombed. They finished the room in a horizontal line, but a lot of their troops were AFK and not engaged. Between the lagging tactic execution, disengaged VT troops, and TBV’s sharper formations, ability to be creative, and coordination for the win for Room 3.

Overtime Room – TIE
Void Troops moved first with a reused UT, TBV followed with a familiar horizontal chat bar line. VT looked energized this time with a size advantage of 9-5 and even had some humorous and creative tactics, although judges observed that they held them too long. Both armies had AFKs and n, and neither army moved for several minutes.
TBV used another “@ BWB” tactic briefly covering VT. VT changed into a UV, but the formation was very gappy. As TBV changed into their form, they got covered. TBV followed with a rake and a unique whirlpool move, while VT changed into a very disorganized X formation. TBV ended with a diagonal line and another BWB that managed to cover VT. However, with both armies executing weakly and not notable inconsistencies, Room 4 was concluded as a tie.

The matchup between the Void Troops and the Bastille Vanguard showed two very unlike performances. The Void Troops relied heavily on size and aggression, but their inconsistency, AFKs, and lack of formed discipline frequently prevented any sustained push. On the other side, TBV showed cleaner execution, more notably consistent forms, and moments of creativity that gave them the advantage despite suffering from a size disadvantage. In the end, we saw that not only did size not matter, but that discipline and adaptability were just as important. Do you feel the Void Troops underutilized their size, or did TBV outplay them with better execution?
