In-depth information can be found on our match coverage page.

Loch Ness

Liereyy manages to get a quick snipe against ACCMs scout at the start of the match. Both players are instantly opening on water.

Liereyy prepares a dual-push with extreme aggression on water while also pushing the woodline of ACCM. His water opening won him the water after just 5 minutes including a fast castle age.

In return, ACCM turns towards an approach pushing into Liereyys base, almost close to an all-in move, while Liereyys goes more towards an economi-focused build after the initial agression. Minute 17 with a 25 villager difference.

Liereyy managed to push back due to the water control, slowly transitioning into Post-Imperial and using trebuchets to remove ACCMs structure. ACCM decided to go for a heavy tech switch as an answer into champions and skirmishers. ACCM tries his best, but is roughly 5000 points behind in score for the past 20 minutes. At minute 50 Liereyy managed to get rid of the whole structure of ACCM on his side of the map which resulted in ACCM calling the GG and giving Liereyy the first win for the series, leading 1 - 0.

Crownwood

Liereyy opened up with an extremely aggressive earlygame again, just while walling at home. This is something which has happened quiet a lot in Empire Wars: Being aggressive while building up your home base has almost always worked out.

By keeping that aggressiveness up and denying ACCM his main woodline, he GG'd out, resulting in a 2 - 0 for Liereyy.

Stonefront

Stonefront now got extremely important for Yo. However, it is almost a replay of the previous match, if not even faster. Just after 4 minutes ingame time the first archers have reached ACCMs base, slowly driving away villagers from ACCMs food.

Backed up by scouts, there was a small option for ACCM to take control. He managed to get this done, in result traded a lot of his food economdy though. While both players slowed down afterwards, the initial damage was enough to get a quick castle for Liereyy and push with mangonels, knights and crossbows - nailing the coffin with a convincing 3 - 0.
