THE CASTELLANS
Team Presentation
The Castellans have reformed and they are looking strong once again after their impressive LAN tournament. As with the Battle of Bucharest, they are without OGL, who remains in AE, but have Sotamursu to take over command. They have also been quite active in recruiting prior to that tournament, making them one of the most scary-looking roster of the whole competition.
With Arni, Gibby, Darklight, and Slade being their main infantry line-up, Castellans are going to look dominant in most of the infantry clashes - as all of them are not only extremely skilled, but also very experienced when it comes to tournament playoffs. They can also use Yami, Caracatus, and Nikkle if needed, even though it is unlikely any of these three play most of the match.
Castellans also have a strong cavalry line-up which consists of Nomes, Yoru, Dopey, and Watly. All of which are capable of challenging any other cavalries if given good support from the rest of their team. Last but not least, their archer department is completed by Yona, Sotamursu, Pepper, and Blade. All of them being experienced rangers, they should have no problem coming into this match.
Castellans have been together longer than recently formed Tilde Turtles which certainly give them the edge when speaking about team cohesion. Not only that but they also have very skilled players who can carry their team through rough rounds if needed.
Castellans should be confident going into this match, but despite TT’s recent performance against Unity, they shouldn't underestimate their opponents as mistakes can always happen.

Team Presentation
Tilde Turtles have recently been created by Habimana and Duck. and have made a good impression in the Warband Summer Cup so far. They were placed in group C with LL, Malta, BLD, and Unity, and were sort expected to get this second place. After 3 early wins for TT, they showed their limits facing Unity in the last week of the group-stage, being defeated 12-1.
Roster-wise Tilde Turtles is a mix between solid players capable of strong individual play whereas the rest of their squad rely on teamplay to support their teammates, and despite being newly formed, it seems to function well. Their infantry squad consists of Habi, Varadin, Zulu, Kani, and CmK which are all capable of giving other infantries a run for their money.
Their cavalry line-up is also decent, consisting of players such as Duck, Lucifer, Carpediem, and RelaksStr0nkest. They have managed to recruit Attila, Broomstick, Habrak, and Chaff which means they won’t be lacking in the ranging compartment either.
That being said, Tilde Turtles remain the heavy underdogs coming into this match. Not only do they have less experience playing together as a team, but for some of them it is also their first real native tournament, and even though they have proven that they have adapted quite well, it simply might not be enough when facing a team such as The Castellans.
Nonetheless, TT’s performance to reach the playoffs is quite admirable, and anything they can achieve from that point on is pure bonus. With that in mind, less likely upset happened in the past, so everything lays in their hands to achieve what some might see as impossible.
