Kingshot: [TSL]TheShadowlands, Kingdom #1213​

​​

Alliance Championship: 12/17/2025 match 1

​

Result: Lost 0-3: 9/20 opponent, 5/20 opponent, 15/20 opponent. 11 defeated (11 total).

Notes: Playing the most powerful opponent in the group (over 2 billion power) as our first match which gives us zero information. Great. We can only hope we are paired with APX because they have such few participants for the game to say we are "evenly matched". If that is the case, we can use what we learned from match 1 in the last group, in that the right lane was empty. That leaves us guessing between the left and middle lane, which one would be stronger. Given their strong players theoretically are stronger than our strong players, we want to pair our strong players against their weaker lane to try to win two out of three lanes.

Poll: Option 1: Left Lane 2, Middle Lane 1, Right Lane 3: This wins if their left lane is strongest, middle lane moderate, and right lane empty.

Option 2: Left Lane 1, Middle Lane 2, Right Lane 3: This wins if their middle lane is strongest, left lane moderate, and right lane empty.

Option 3: Left Lane 3, Middle Lane 1, Right Lane 2: This wins if their left lane is strongest, middle lane moderate, and right lane NOT empty.

Option 4: Left Lane 1, Middle Lane 3, Right Lane 2: This wins if their left lane is moderate, middle lane strongest, and right lane weakest but NOT empty.

Option 5: Left Lane 2, Middle Lane 3, Right Lane 1: This wins if their left lane is weakest, middle lane strongest, and right lane moderate.

Option 6: Left Lane 3, Middle Lane 2, Right Lane 1: This wins if their left lane is strongest, middle lane is weakest, and right lane is moderate.

Result: We were clearly outmatched and had zero chance in this matchup. APX appears to be a superpower similar to USA in our kingdom.
