MAJOR RUNNER UPS
TEMPLARS Vs DARK WARRIORS

TCP vs DW Group Stage battle
On May 31, Templars defeated Dark Warriors in the AUSIA timezone to advance into the Grand Finals.
TEMPLARS VS SNOW WALKERS

TCP Vs SWCP
Due to the Snow Walkers not showing up to the battle, the battle concluded with TCP gaining victory here.
Army of Club Penguin Vs shadow liegionnaries

Army of Club Penguin in a Group Stage battle against Shadow Legionnaires
On May 28, in the US timezone, Aliens and Fire Vikings went through a throwback of ATWC III, going against each other, resulting in an Aliens win. An hour later, the ACP went against SL, grabbing another win.
ARMY OF CLUB PENGUIN VS ALIENS OF CLUB PENGUIN
On May 30, the Army of Club Penguin (ACP) battled the Aliens in the AUSIA timezone. ACP secured victory within half an hour, advancing to the tournament’s Majors Finals round.

ACP Vs AOCP
The Army of Club Penguin won all group stage battles to top Group A ahead of the Aliens. In Group B, the Templars secured most victories to finish first, leaving the Dark Warriors behind them in total wins.
SMALL/MEDUIM RUNNER UPS
On the Small/Medium side, the Shadow Legionnaires delivered a dominant performance to earn the highest point total in Group A. They secured their spot in the S/M finals after defeating the Fire Vikings on May 30.
Meanwhile, chaos struck the rest of the bracket an hour later when XBOX Republic and the SnowWalkers fought to a tie. Because both armies maxed out at just a single troop, the judges found it impossible to score the battle. This unexpected tie completely shook up the standings, allowing the Fire Vikings to climb into second place and secure the final spot in the championship. Now, the Fire Vikings will get a chance at redemption in a highly anticipated rematch against the Shadow Legionnaires for the S/M title.
Furthermore, Club Penguin Armies reached out to different individuals in the community to seek their predictions on the possible winners.
Fun X Time (Editor-In-Chief): Fire Vikings and Shadow Legionnaires are set to battle soon, and considering their army classification, it may be a little close. Fire Vikings are relatively newer while the Legionnaires just came out of a defacement. While both armies are trying to get rid of their struggles, it may be one close battle. However, I anticipate experience and quantity to potentially led the Legionnaires to victory.
For the second battle, where the Templars will be facing the Army of Club Penguin, I feel that ACP could steal the win. Both major armies are strong and rapidly developing, but ACP has a stronger player base with a lot of structure and organization that is fueling their recruitment operations. Templars on the other hand, had came out of defacement earlier this year, which might lead to some loss of their troops. Therefore, I believe ACP could triumph in the Grand Finals.
Best wishes to all armies participating in the tournament 🙂
Kath(CPA Senior Reporter): Big cats fight… The first place of the TT vs the 4(?) one? For sure both can pull off sizes. But, from what I saw last time, against DW, TCP had luck to pass to the final with only one room won (1-2-0). ACP almost swept Aliens out with a perfect score, but they tied it… I think, size wise and with the previous battle they had, ACP will win two rooms out of 3, if not 3. I truly think they are the army to beat and their size keep increasing, which is always surprising to see. Best of luck to all the armies for the finals!
Mz (CPA Associate Editor): Tbh its clear that SL would win against Fv but ultimately lose to SWAT. But yeah, it would be interesting to see SWAT make a comeback & claim another dub for THE SWAT GRANDFATHERS GLORY BE TO SWAT,
This would genuinely be an interesting battle, I am not sure if Sidie’s Rangers or RAPFCP man i can see the CEP go bonkers after seeing this match up like CRAZY. But it all comes down to whether Xing would attend, oh sorry i mean Xing’s would be there but yeah i feel like SWAT would win this as well. GLORY TO THE SWAT RULERSLort533(CPA Moderator/Reporter-In-Training): new mexico
Ams(CPA Moderator/Reporter/Aliens Leader): I believe Shadow Legionnaires will win the S/M category, for me they won already, as they are fighting an army they won against already ! For majors, ACP is on a pretty impressive run so i hope my allies Templars can give a good fight and maybe get the trophy, would be cute to see them have this year’s version of the trophy we got last year 🙂
Hampter(Water Vikings veteran/CPA Top Ten Committee): SM: shadow legionnaires sounds like a badass fucking name and fire vikings is just a cheap copy of THE TRUE VIKINGS RAHHHHHHH FEAR THE WAVE LET’S GO WV BABY IT’S ALL ABOUT WV. anyways 3-0-0 sl
Major: you’re telling me I have to pick between netanyahu and trump? uhhhh well acp at least isn’t shit from a butt and actually deserve major status so ig 2-1-0 acp if anything man why tf am I even answering ts I don’t even know any leaderships.Znation(biggest meme out there, CPA Reporter-In-Training): SL, ACP
Pingo (CPA Reporter-In-Training): acp will win because they max 40 min and tcp maxes 40 max sl will win unless visitors are allowed because istg the v in fv stands for visitors
With these interesting, rather big predictions. Only the best may win, and we leave that for the battle. Who do you think will win? Will an unexpected army set to overshine?
