Scarlet Republic vs. Void Troops

Void Troops in a recent event
Firstly, the Scarlet Republic and Void Troops will meet in the finals of the S/M division, both exemplifying the new wave of competitive S/M armies. Both armies have fought remarkably well and earned the right to get to this matchup. This will be a close and exciting match.
GeoIonut – Help Force: Well, here is an interesting battle between an army I fought against in MM (SR) and an army I don’t know much about (VT). Because of this, I’ll choose SR, as in the MM battle we had against them, they performed really well.
Shaan4 – Water Vikings: I believe scarlet republic will come up on top as they have momentum right now and are doing really well. I still believe that it’s going to be a close battle.
Roxy – Army of Club Penguin: think VT would win against SR since VT has more experienced leaders and experienced members.
Thuanthaijo – Associate Editor: Void Troops 3-0. Void Troops have a higher max than SR. They even beat DCP 3-0 in a recent battle, maxing highly. I just don’t see SR maxing high enough to contend
Army of Club Penguin vs. Aliens

Secondly, the Army of Club Penguin will face off against the Aliens in a battle between two noteworthy major armies. Both armies have undeniably done well throughout the tournament. Surely, this tournament battle shall be an exciting clash between two competitive and capable armies.
GeoIonut – Help Force: It will be an interesting and close battle. I know very well how well our allies can perform in battles, but my prediction is ACP due to their far superior experience in tournaments.
Dbsa – Void Troops: I’ll say Aliens.
Shaan4 – Water Vikings: ah this is a really hard question. all of these armies have momentum tactics and skills. for Aliens VS ACP I believe that its going to be a close battle. I think ACP would come up on top for this one. their tactics are really organized.
Thuanthaijo – Associate Editor: ACP 2-1. ACP and Aliens maxed similarly; However, ACP tends to perform better for their size which is why I picked them. Aliens could win if they manage to get a large size advantage
With the end game closer than ever, the excitement level is off the charts. The championship is at stake, and the reputations are up for grabs. All of the armies will leave it all on the field. Who do you think will step up and take home the championship in the Around the World Cup II Grand Finals?
