Since the Around the World Cup II had already kicked off on May 17, the qualified armies soon began to prepare for their battles. After the EU and US battles ended, the last chance to earn points was their AUSIA battle. One thing we can say for certain is that the final stage battles sparked competitiveness between the armies. Especially as these last battles decide which armies move on to the finals.
The first AUSIA battles took place on May 31, where the Void Troops went up against the Templars as the Army of Club Penguin battled the Doritos of Club Penguin. On the other hand, on June 1, the Aliens held their battle against the Fire Vikings, and the Scarlet Republic battled against the Water Vikings.

The first battle of the day started with VT going up against the Templars. However, it soon became clear that the Templars were not going to show up. This resulted in an automatic win for the Void Troops.

Army of Club Penguin vs. Doritos of Club Penguin
The battle began with the Doritos entering the room first, with ACP quickly following. ACP then formed an arrow as DCP took their time to move into formation. The sizes were 37 – 32 for DCP. Throughout the first room, the Doritos were seen to struggle creating formations and completing tactics. At the same time, the Clovers managed to look bigger and were faster most of the time. Therefore, it came as no surprise when ACP won the room, since they performed better. The second room was not much different, as the pattern repeated itself with moving into formations and slower troops for the Doritos. The Clovers did manage to improve from their last room; they were able to utilise their size better and kept up the pace.
The last room started with ACP entering first. Both armies formed similar forms, as the Doritos created a backwards L, and the Clovers formed an arrow. With the sizes being 39 – 34 for ACP, they held a size advantage. Despite the Doritos giving their best, their troops were not as awake. This caused ACP to dominate the room and win it eventually. Even though the Doritos gave the battle their best shot, ACP managed to win all three rooms and win the battle.

Aliens VS. Fire Vikings
As the Aliens entered the room first, the Fire Vikings soon followed. The Aliens formed an X, while the Vikings formed a diagonal. In contrast to the clean and large X, the Vikings struggled with their form and spacing. When the Vikings move, the Aliens are a tad late to defend against the movement. Overall, the Aliens were seen to be faster and had better forms. During the second room, the Aliens kept dominating and covering the Vikings. The Vikings even stayed in the same room till the five-minute mark.
When the last room started, the Vikings were unable to put up much of a fight. The Aliens utilised their size to make them look big, which became a disadvantage for the Vikings. This concluded in the Aliens winning all the rooms of the battle, not giving the Vikings a chance to redeem themselves.

Scarlet Republic VS. Water Vikings
The last AUSIA battle took place between the Republic and Water Vikings. It became clear that the Vikings had a size advantage of more than ten troops. The Vikings were able to dominate throughout the battle due to their formations and speed as well. Therefore, the battle ended with the Vikings winning all the rooms.

Despite not every battle having the same kind of action, all armies tried their best, which shows. As the final AUSIA stage concluded, the finals are fast approaching. Congratulations to ACP, Aliens, SR, and VT for advancing to the finals! How do you think the finals will go? Did you expect this outcome?
