Fire Vikings vs Snowwalkers of Club Penguin
The last battle of the Quarter-Finals took place on August 23rd, 2026, at 3:00 PM EST, with the starting room being Cove. Fire Vikings dominated the first ten minutes of the battle with a max of 7, while the Snowwalkers of Club Penguin maxed only 4. For the second room, the battle continued in the forest, with the Fire Vikings winning this room against Snowwalkers, keeping their dominance. Both armies went to Snow Forts for the third and last room of the battle. While Fire Vikings had the momentum in the first two rooms, the fire quickly extinguished when their max 7 became max 5. Surprisingly, with one less troop, the Snowwalkers won this room with their speed. After the only full battle of this round, Fire Vikings qualified for the Semi-Finals.
