European Native Pro League


⸻ Tournament Summary ⸻
The ENPL was the beginning of European Warbands competitive scene and would see the continents strongest teams to battle in a double elimination bracket. The scene was much more widely split at the time, with many of the best teams of singular nationalities and many different countries having their own, more closed scenes.

There were a few favourites going into the tournament such as Polands Refesesesesferes, CIS juggernauts Druzinha and Runaway Scorpions as well as the international teams such as 22nd Battalion, Guard of Istiniar and Court of Reveran. On their side of the bracket, Guard of Istiniar stormed to the finals, shoving aside all opposition in comfortable fashion, including powerhouse Runaway Scorpions. 22nd Battalion would meet them in equally strong style, swatting aside Refesesesesferes beforehand. After a close start to the match, 22nd Battalion would prove too strong for IG, eventually defeating them comfortably in the winners final. SCGavins IG bounced back from their defeat however, with a solid victory over REF to once more face 22nd Battalion. However, Plazeks men once more proved themselves the strongest team in Europe, securing a narrow victory in the final match of the scenes first tournament.

The European Native Pro League would soon be replaced with the European Native League by Captain Lust and proved to be the final European tournament hosted by Black Corsair, who had an important influence on the early competitive scene.​

European Native League
Season 1


⸻ Tournament Summary ⸻
After it was clear that the ENPL would not go into another season, Captain Lust finally launched the European Native League in June 2011. It was the first of many tournaments that the future TaleWorlds community manager would organize. Coming off the back of a nailbiting final in the European Native Pro League, 22nd Battalion and Guard of Istiniar were the tournament favourites in many peoples books. Joining them in Division A were a variety of other strong teams such as legendary Polish outfit Refesesesesferes and French juggernauts Défenseurs de la Flamme Doudoune.

However, it was Court of Reveran who caused the biggest upset. After a strong start to the season, Guard of Istiniar dropped out in dramatic fashion, leaving a final playoff fixture between 22nd Battalion and Court of Reveran. In arguably the most intense match of the season, Arch3rs men secured a draw which was enough to see them crowned as champions. Whilst this was considered an upset at the time, the Court of Reveran roster contained a myriad of huge names. After winning the title, however, some of them decided to move on to new teams, with Captain Lust joining German side Deutschritter and Nubijuki leaving to form Renegades. The inaugural season season of the ENL would also prove to be 22nd Battalions final Native tournament, except for a short appearence in the Warband Native Leader later on with a heavily changed roster.

Elsewhere in Division B Turkish side Rush Rush were crowned champions, with European squad Einherjar offering the only challenge and also gaining promotion alongside CIS team Vaeringjar. The two C divisions were plagued with a high dropout rate but would see teams such as Knight of Swan, SYNDICATE_BT_Invisible, Korpi, Die Bruderschaft der stählernen Faust and Kreuzritter prove successful.

Through a series of changes to the format and rules, the ENL managed to eliminate some of the weaknesses of previous tournaments, and is still considered one of the community's most important steps towards professional tournaments today. It saw a marked change in the scenes top teams with Guard of Istiniar becoming, for a while, the defacto best team in Warband. Something that was unopposed until the arrival of Renegades.​

European Native League
Season 2


⸻ Tournament Summary ⸻
The second season of the ENL began with much excitement, as Guard of Istiniar faced a new rival who had been winning every scrim they played, Renegades. Lead by Nubijuki who had left Court of Reveran after their success in the first season, Renegades was an elite French team and, noticeably for the time, had a particularly small competitive roster.

In Division A, that would see significantly less dropouts, Renegades and Guard of Istiniar swept aside all opposition without difficulty. The season would also see the decline of Refesesesesferes as an elite force, slumping to 6 defeats. After losing some of their best players, Court of Reveran remained solid though would never again make a serious challenge for a tournament title. Recently promoted Turkish side Team Rush Rush would come the closest to the two at the top, but it was the clash between Renegades and Guard of Istiniar in Week 11 that would be decisive. The match was hotly anticipated and one of the first huge matches to be properly streamed. After a close start IG proved their strength once more, gaining victory over their rivals Renegades and go on to win the second season of the European Native League. After being a top contender for such a lengthy time, gaining a tournament victory was confirmation that they were one of the greatest teams of the era and would go into the next season as favorites.

In Division B newcomers Polish Eagles would finish first on round difference, closely edging out CIS side SYNDICATE_BT_Invisible. Both of those teams would be promoted, though the former would undergo some change before joining Division A: Polish Eagles forged an alliance with two other Polish teams, Zelipapa and legendary Polish outfit Wolves to form Trinity. Closely behind them German outfit Kreuzritter came third.

Division C was hotly contested with German outfit Deutschritter surviving a late charge by Inquisition to gain the crown. It was fellow CIS juggernauts Runaway Scorpions, however, who set the cat among the pigeons. Joining late, they quickly rose up the rankings taking the scalps of many of the higher ranked teams. After they had received a default loss due to several roster mishaps, Inqusition ensured they would narrowly miss out on promotion by defeating them in Week 10.​

European Native League
Season 3


⸻ Tournament Summary ⸻
The third season of the European Native League saw tournament favourites Guard of Istiniar and Renegades joined by two more heavy hitters in Trinity and Inquisition. The Polish outfit combined the best players from legendary Polish sides Wolves, Polish Eagles and Zelipapa to form a truely fearsome team.

With strong players in all three classes and a uniquue playstyle involving extensive use of twohanded weapons on closed maps, Trinity started the tournament with a bang defeating Renegades in Week 3. Inquisition combined a deadly array of infantry talent with some of the scenes best ranged players to fearsome effect. They pulled off a famous victory over Trinity, a defeat which later would have grave consequences for the Polish team. Towards the end of the season Renegades imploded, losing many of their star players and ending the tournament with barely enough players to participate. Guard of Istiniar were on hand to take advantage of this, comfortably swatting aside RNGD to secure their second ENL championship on round difference and confirm themselves as the dominant force in Europe.

Division B was won by previously promoted Deutschritter who fielded a roster of hugely talented players. Vying at the top also were veterans Refesesesesferes and another famous German team, Kreuzritter. Division C saw newly formed Apis Europae come out as runaway winners, also beating Team Rush Rush in the promotion matches. Below them, the division was tightly contested between teams such as Einherjar, Samurai and Heroes.

Captain Lusts time as head admin for European Majors drew to a close at the end of this tournament, with only the European Native Summer Cup afterwards alongside the failed MarkMods Native Fall Cup. He left an indelible mark on competitive Warband, becoming Community Manager for many years as well as going on to stream hundreds of games with his streaming channel MB_TV.​

Warband Native League
Season 1


⸻ Tournament Summary ⸻
After it became clear that the MarkMods Native Fall Cup was not going to happen, Goliath took the opportunity to create the Warband Native League. The inaugural season would see a huge number of teams take part in a vast round robin format. Going into the tournament were three favourites: Turkish super team Union of Calaquendi and 3OA had an incredibly talented roster, French side Renegades remained an ever present threat and Apis Europae had just won the European Native Summer Cup. Beneath them teams such as Guard of Istiniar, Unvanquished and a much changed 22nd Battalion side laid in wait.

Already within the first weeks the tournament offered the spectators some spectacular matches. Apis Europae dropped to a close defeat against Union who had lost to Renegades previously, whilst Renegades slipped to an unexpected draw with Polish outfit Saracens. Guard of Istiniar finally recorded a victory over ancient rivals 22nd Battalion, though Unvanquished proved to be the best of the rest. However, over the course of the tournament some problems with the format arose due to the large number of teams. Some of the teams lost interest or some of their players and were therefore forced to leave the tournament early. After those problems became more evident, the admin team underwent some changes which culminated in the second half the season ending with a single elimination bracket.

The quarter finals saw a series of interesting results, with Guard of Istiniar proving too solid for Unvanquished and moving on to meet bitter rivals Apis Europae in the next round. Elsewhere, Union and Renegades overcame spirited opposition from 22nd Battalion and Bohemian Guard respectively, setting up a thrilling semi final. Union went in as very slight underdogs but overcame the French side to book their place in the finals. After Apis Europae secured victory against Guard of Istiniar, they would face the only team that had beaten them during the regular season in the last match of the tourmament. The match was hotly anticipated, and after a close start Apis Europae soon gained control and overcame their Turkish foes, claiming the WNL championship.

Whilst blighted with a few problem with the tourmanent format, the Warband Native League would go on to become the quintessential Warband tournament. After joining the admin team part way through the season, it was also Deacon Barrys first tournament as league admin.​

Warband Native League
Season 2


⸻ Tournament Summary ⸻
The second season of the Warband Native League came around quickly after the first. Boasting a renovated format using the same pick system as ENLs Division C, teams would fight it out in a large league format. Going into the tournament after winning the ENSC and the first season of the WNL, Apis Europae were considered favourites. Perennial contenders Renegades were also right up there, with Guard of Istiniar, a Peter & Tobi inspired Legend and a myriad of other solid teams following closely behind.

The tournament went as most expected until, in Week 3, Polish outfit Saracens pulled off an upset defeating Renegades. Despite their underdog status, matches between the two sides were often close and SRC proved too hot to handle this time beating them 11-5. Apis Europae surged into the lead and looked unbeatable until Week 6, when Renegades pulled off a victory against Apis Europae, leaving everything to play for. Turkish side Sons of the Emperor were making a late charge but were eventually overcome by a surging Legend team. A few weeks after their defeat, Apis Europae turned the tables on a weakened Renegades side to reclaim their position at the top of the table. Guard of Istiniar would secure second place, adding yet another medal to their collection. Coming in a close third were Defenders of Wonwokie. There was some drama during the tournament, with CIS team Warhammer being removed due to mass roster violations. Gaining a third tournament victory in quick succession established Apis Europae as the dominant team in the scene, though new challengers would soon be on the horizon.

The tournament was the largest in Native Warbands history, boasting an enormous 48 teams. It suffered from many dropouts as the season progressed, though the format of the tournament minimised the impact. It was also Goliaths final tournament as admin, as he relinquished responsibilities to Deacon and new admin Scar, alongside Portuguese stalwart Maynd and German server specialist ReneKB.​

European Championship Series
Season 1


⸻ Tournament Summary ⸻
The European Championship Series was created by Deacon and Scar to be a tournament which focused almost entirely on top level competitive Warband. Season two of the Warband Native League had just ended with Apis Europae eventually cantering to victory, and there were many questions about which teams may be able to challenge them. Renegades were set to provide the main opposition, with teams such as Inquisition and Guard of Istiniar posing an upset threat also.

The groups went largely as expected, with only two teams doing better than their seeding suggested. In Group C French side Legend narrowly defeated a spirited Saracens side, but it was in Group D where the real changes were taking place as KURWA, a collection of some ex TnT players led by SotaMursu, made it through the group stage. The team struggled initially, falling to a heavy defeat to Guard of Istiniar and only narrowly defeating Defenders of Wonwokie. Going into the quarter finals after they victory over Heroes, they picked up a handful of players from eliminated teams, which proved an effective tactic as they hammered Inquisition.

Elsewhere in the quarter finals, a weakened RNGD limped to a victory over a talented Teutonic side whilst Guard of Istiniar laboured to victory against Legend. Apis Europae swatted aside Court of Reveran, setting up the El Classio of Warband with long-term rivals IG for one of the semi finals. Whilst that semi final would go to form, the other side of the bracket had the more intriguing fixture, with fast rising super team KURWA going up against Renegades. KURWAs star power would prove too much as they overcame Renegades in solid fashion. The finals was set to be a sensational match, a clash of two super teams. It started in great fashion but quickly turned into disaster as in the final set an unknown player joined the server, and mid set, kicked the entirety of the Apis Europae team from the server. This was followed by much drama and disquiet which controversially ended with Apis Europae being named the champions of the inaugural season of the European Championship Series.

The tournament took place at a time when the scenes top competitive level was waxing and would lead to more tournaments of this style. The domination of super teams would continue as the importance of single nationality outfits waned. The tournament ending in such disastrous circumstance had long term effects on how finals servers are administrated and was one of the causes of the push towards admin by ID.​

Warband Native League
Season 3


⸻ Tournament Summary ⸻
By reaching its third season, the Warband Native League joined the ENL as the longest running Native tournament and for the first time in its history introduced a division system. The tournament was also remarkable because teams started to take more and more cavalry on open maps, with Apis Europae regularly running six of the class.

After they had battled each other to a standstill in the European Championship Series, KURWA and Apis Europae went into the tournament as joint favourites. With Inquisition dropping out of the tournament early on, it appeared no team would be able to challenge the two. However, in Week 5 Watlys Nameless pulled a huge surprise upset sending Apis Europae crashing to defeat in resounding fashion. KURWA would take advantage of this pulling ahead, only to be pegged back once more a week later narrowly losing to a revitalised Apis Europae. The regular season ended with both favourties heading into the knockout stage on equal points.

There, KURWA met dark horses Nameless in their quarter final. The game was incredibly tense over its entire length until KURWA finally managed to overcome their foes in the tiebreaker on Winterburg. On the other side of the bracket Apis Europae lined up against Guard of Istiniar in yet another repeat of the El Classico, overcoming them to set up the all star clash in the final. After an even first map, KURWA pulled out a winning strategy on the second map, using a huge amount of throwing weapons to nullify Apis Europae's heavy cavalry tactics. SotaMursus masterclass would prove too much as his side survived a brief rally by Apis Europae to win 10-6 and be crowned Season 3 champions of the Warband Native League.

In Division B Wolfpack fought their way to an unbeaten season, followed by Deutschritters successor team Aquilae Calradiae and Irish Rebels in third place. With the likes of OGL, Ceasar and Hives, this iteration of Wolfpack would fall apart shortly after, with many of its players moving on to create Castellans. Knights of Malta fought a competitive season to win Division C, seeing off CIS teams Veche and Old Slavian School of Slavimir as well as a late charge from legendary North American side West Knights.​

Warband Native League
Season 4


⸻ Tournament Summary ⸻
The fourth season of the Warband Native League would see three top teams and a host of other high tier teams go to war in a single swiss system ladder. Previous victors KURWA were absent, but many of their players fought under the banner of Irish Rebels, making them a truely frightening prospect. Alongside them prerennial contenders Apis Europae were looking to put their defeat of last season behind them. Joining them as tournament favourite were CIS super team Heroes & Inquisition. With an array of regions elite infantry combined with truely fearsome rangers they posed a threat to all teams. Beneath those three, teams such as Castellans, Aquilae Calradiae and Heroes of Agincourt would see some success.

Throughout the season the top teams traded victories and defeats, with a strengthened Irish Rebels defeating Heroes & Inquisition with a strong display in Week 1, only to lose to Apis Europae two weeks later. Meanwhile, the eastern Europeans managed to recover and went on to take down Apis Europae in an exhilarating match in Week 4. After another narrow defeat against Irish Rebels, however, Heroes & Inquisition saw their chances at winning the tournament fade, especially after Apis Europae gained revenge upon them in Week 7. Irish Rebels also failed to meet expectations as Funs of the Emperor pulled out an outstanding upset against them. Whilst the top teams battled it out, the format of the tournament meant that dark horses Heroes of Agincourt managed to get into a close second place behind Apis Europae without having fought one of the top teams. Because both teams were on equal points, the tournament was decided in a playoff match between the two, which Apis Europae dominated from start to finish, thus securing them their third Warband Native League championship.

Whilst containing many stacked teams and showcasing some top tier Warband, the tournament showcased many of the limitations of the format. It would be the final death sentence for full swiss system only tournaments.​

European Championship Series
Season 2


⸻ Tournament Summary ⸻
Just like the fourth season of the Warband Native League, the second iteration of the European Championship Series started with three super teams. With the lethal archers of former Turkish side Sons of the Emperor supplemented with an array of fearsome talent from across Europe, Freelancers joined KURWA and Apis Europae as the tournament favourites and overall strongest team of the era.

In Group A Freelancers made short work of their opposition, swatting aside both Heroes of Agincourt and Polish Eagles with ease. Joining them in the knockout stage was CIS outfit Alliance of Destruction, who come out on top in a close losers final. Group B started as expected, but after the first seeded KURWA received a default loss against the second seeded Legend, they had to take a detour via Heroes to book their quarter-final ticket. Group C saw Castellans survive a scare against scene pillars Defenders of Faith to secure the first spot whilst Irish Rebels would eventually see off the remaining opposition to finish in second. In Group D Apis Europae locked in their spot for the quarter finals thanks to two nearly flawless victories, one of them in the El Classico against Guard of Istiniar. SCGavins men and women managed to bounce back from that defeat the week after, defeating Wolfpack in the loser final and finishing the group in second place.

In the quarter finals the veteran team met Freelancers who in the end proved too hot to handle. Meanwhile, Irish Rebels had fully recovered from a shakey start to the tournament and overcame Legend in dominating fashion. On the other side of the bracket, Castellans had the unenviable task of fighting KURWA, as they had qualified second, and were eventually beaten decisively. Apis Europae took down Alliance of Destruction convincingly to set up yet another match against KURWA in the semi finals. After an exciting first set Apis Europae managed to build up a small lead, which KURWA almost made up for thanks to a strong start on the second map. In the end, Apis Europae prevailed and qualified for the final against Freelancers, who had won their semi-final against Irish Rebels. Freelancers were to continue demonstrating their skills in a final packed with a series of incredibly exciting moments. The two sides gave each other nothing until Freelancers were able to defend the flag in the last round with only two players still alive, winning them the game and thus the tournament.

The final game against Freelancers revealed the tactical weaknesses of the cavalry-heavy tactics of Apis Europae, which until then had been considered almost unbeatable on open maps. The second season of the European Championship Series was also the first tournament for Aeronwen as an administrator, who in the following months and years became an indespensible part of the admin team.​

Warband Native League
Season 5


⸻ Tournament Summary ⸻
The fifth season of the Warband Native League would see the rivalry Warbands Three Kings continue. Freelancers had proved their mettle, taking the championship in season two of the ECS. They would make a return alongside defeated finalist Apis Europae, who were hungry to gain revenge for their lost title in the European Championship Series. Next to them stood KURWA with a truly fearsome roster. Beneath these three top favourites, teams such as Defenders of Wonwokie, Irish Rebels and unified French giants Unity offered genuine upset potential. Renegades would also make their return with a weakened roster but still offered some threat, alongside equally the equally strong Guard of Istiniar and Aequalitas.

After the short break, some had expected Freelancers to need some time to grow into the tournament, but they send out a message by flattening Irish Rebels in Week 1. Guard of Istiniar would cause an upset with their biggest result in some time, drawing with KURWA. Apis Europae would take full advantage of these results when they defeated Freelancers in Week 3. The troubles of last tournaments champion would continue as they fell to a surprising albeit close loss to Wonwokie, potentially leaving AE and KURWA to fight it out for the top seeds. KURWA regained the ground they had previously lost by defeating bitter rivals Apis Europae in Week 4, leaving everything to play for. In the final two weeks of the ladder stage, AE and KURWA would play each other another two times, with Apis Europae winning the first comfortably and falling to a narrow loss in the second. Elsewhere Freelancers and Ferocious Trident Wielders had strong run-ins to gain the higher seeds

Going into the knockout stage, KURWA, who had finished the regular season in first place, saw themselves confronted with French juggernauts Unity. It would prove to be a fixture more difficult than many expected as Paulos talented Unity side defeated favourites KURWA. With one of the tournament favourites eliminated, the quarter final between Freelancers and Apis Europae became even more vital. It was the men in black and yellow coming out on top, succesfully taking revenge for their defeat in the ECS2 finals. In the remaining two games of the tournament, Apis Europae then showed all its class and experience. After throwing Unity out of the tournament without losing a round in what many now expected to be a close match, it was an eight cavalry strategy that caught Irish Rebels completely unprepared on the second map of the finals, thus deciding the championship.

The fifth season of the Warband Native League was considered a huge success in the eyes of the community, as it saw incredibly exciting fixtures between hugely competitive sides almost every week. Desolation Valley was heavily criticized after the one-sided final, however, and was therefore removed from the mappools of the following tournaments.​

European Championship Series
Season 3


⸻ Tournament Summary ⸻
The third and final season of the European Championship Series started in April 2016. It can be seen as a transition period for the scene in multiple ways. The ECS would be the last tournament in a long cycle that saw the WNL and ECS being hosted in turns since late 2012. Additionally, with Apis Europae taking a break from competitive play, the era of the Three King had come to an end as the ECS3 would turn out to be the last tournaments for both KURWA and Freelancers. Although large portions of their players continued playing in various other teams, neither of the two teams would return to future tournaments playing under these names.

Joining these two greats at the top as tournament favourites were Unity and New Warband Order, who formerly played under the name of Irish Rebels with a slightly varied roster. Following behind teams such as Defenders of Wonwokie, Public Enemies and Degenerated, a group of veterans led by legendary RNGD captain Nubijuki, had serious potential to cause upsets. It was those three teams causing a lot of hassle for the first seeded teams in their groups, New Warband Order, KURWA and Unity respectively, however, all of them fell short at the end. By far the biggest surprise took place in Group D when Ferocious Trident Wielders managed to take down heavy favourites Freelancers in convincing fashion.

Freelancers, who were able to shake off this defeat a week later, still qualified as second in their group, and then met New Warband Order in the quarter finals. After a tight first map, the great experience of Freelancers showed through, who thanks to a solid performance on the second map brought in a well-deserved victory. Meanwhile, Unity and KURWA won their respective matches with ease, whilst Ferocious Trident Wielders fell to Defenders of Wonwokie in an intense and hard fought game. In their semi final, Unity forced Freelancers to go the full distance before the favourite finally won in the last round on Winterburg. In the final KURWA was waiting for them, setting up the hotly anticipated final between two of the three kings of the era. However, the match would turn out to be the most onesided final every played in the history of competitive Warband, as Freelancers annihiliated KURWA in a flawless 7-0 victory, earning them the ECS championship a second time.​

Warband Masters Tour
Season 2


⸻ Tournament Summary ⸻
With the end of the third season of the European Championship Series, the scene underwent great change as both KURWA and Freelancers dissolved their rosters, with some of their players turning their back on the game completely. The remaining players from both teams would form a new team under the name of Random Force, with the aim of challenging the dominance of Apis Europae in Europe. Meanwhile, Irish Rebels ended their one-tournament-endeavour New Warband Order, and with the return of some of their veterans, went back to their old name. German outfit Aequalitas made their comeback as well, after they had taken a break during ECS3, and together with storied side Castellans joined the extended group of favourites.

But not only the teams underwent changes, also the formats of the scenes major tournaments. With the Warband Masters Tour, and shortly after the Warband Pro League, new tournament formats were established for the first time since the creation of the European Championship Series roughly three years ago. The WMT2 saw all teams start out in a bigger ladder with a map based scoring system. Over the course of the ladder stage it showed that with Fearless and Polish Eagles two more teams had serious upset potential, giving teams such as Castellans, Irish Rebels or Aequalitas a good run for their money, or even beating them. Other notable results include the extremely close highlight match between Castellans and Irish Rebels in Week 3 and Random Force taking out Apis Europae in three sets two weeks later.

With all teams of this now extended group of favourites qualifying, the tournament transitioned into a single elimination knockout bracket. All four quarter final matches would turn out to be brilliant games. Underdogs Castellans managed to take out Random Force with a stunning performance across the board, whilst Polish Eagles overcame Aequalitas in an equally tense match. On the other side of the bracket, Irish Rebels forced Apis Europae to go all the way over a tiebreaker on Winterburg, whilst Fearless defeated Wonwokie. The semi finals saw yet another upset as Polish Eagles took down now secret favourites Castellans in a rather onesided game. They would only fall short in the end against Apis Europae, who had swatted aside Fearless in their semi final, in a game that was a lot closer than the score suggests.​

Warband Pro League
Season 2


⸻ Tournament Summary ⸻
The second season of the Warband Pro League started out with a bang before any matches had been played. The announcement of a $10,000 prizepool, the largest in the history of competitive play, mobilised teams on both sides of the pond. Despite the growing prevelence of forming tournament specific teams, the European scene saw a stabilization of its teams at the top level. As such the pool of favourites pretty much stayed the same compared the previous tournament, the second season of the Warband Masters Tour. Random Force, now called Random Potatoes, and Apis Europae would once again be the two main favourites, followed by Aequalitas, Defenders of Wonwokie, and Irish Rebels. The WPL2 also saw the return of WNL4 CIS juggernauts Heroes & Inquisition as well as the creation of Geese Pack, a team of veterans led by Oliveran.

The ladder stage was marked by many surprising results: Random Force suffered a heavy defeat at the hands of Apis Europae in Week 3 in what most people expected to be a close match. In Week 4 Irish Rebels caused an upset by taking down Apis Europae, who in the following week would also be dispatched by Aequalitas. Geese Pack convinced with strong showings throughout the ladder stage, finishing in second place right behind Random Force.

With all of the tournaments favourites making it to the knockout stage, the stage was set for an exciting final showdown between the best Europe had to offer. As such the community went on to see Random Force make their way to the finals by overcoming fierece challenges from Aequalitas and Irish Rebels in convincing fashion. On the side of the bracket, Heroes & Inquisition failed to revive WNL4 memories, whilst Geese Pack took down Defenders of Wonwokie in one of the hardest fought matches of the tournament before getting stopped by Apis Europae in the semi finals. Although the prizepool had been greatly reduced due to a sponsor pulling out, the finals received some of the most extensive livestream coverage ever in the history of the game. However, the much anticipated match turned out to be rather onesided as Apis Europae defeated Random Force in just three sets, further underpinning its position as the strongest team in Europe.​

Warband Summer Cup
Season 1


⸻ Tournament Summary ⸻
After more than half a year without a team tournament due to the length of the Nations Cup 2017, the first season of the newly created Warband Summer Cup started in August 2018. After the WMT2 and the WPL2 it was the third new tournament format created within a year. Similar to the format of the European Championship Series, it saw the participating teams split into four group based on their perceived strength. Groups, however, wouldn't be played out in the dual tournament format but round robin, which allowed for more teams to participate.

Together with the new format, the last big super team of competitive Warband made its entry to the scene, Frontline Tactics. Fielding a deadly combination of experienced veterans and talented newcomers they would instantly belong to the group of top favourites. Joining them were a further improved Unity side and Apis Europae, who had lost some of their players since the WPL2. Just below the top, next to the usual suspects Aequalitas and Castellans, recently formed Tilde Turtle and Sacrosanct had the ability to cause upsets.

The groupstage saw Frontline Tactics and Unity completely run over their opponents and book their tickets for the quarter finals without any trouble. In Group A Sacrosanct gave both Apis Europae and Polish Eagles a good run for their money, but eventually saw them drop out as losing both top matches of the group meant they wouldn't have a chance at qualifying for the knockout stage anymore. In Group D, Castellans, who had just lost their long time leader OGL, still managed to finish in top position ahead of Ferocious Trident Wielders despite some shakey performances along the way.

With every team from the group of tournament favourties managing to qualify, the knockout stage started with an extremely close quarter final between Tilde Turtles and Castellans, that saw the latter come out on top in the end. However, their devastating loss in the semi finals against Frontline Tatics, who had knocked out Polish Eagles in the previous week, would turn out to have been their last competitive match. On the other side of the bracket, Apis Europae took revenge against Aequalitas for their loss in the WPL2 whilst Unity proved to be too much to handle for FTW. In the semi finals Unity went on to narrowly defeat Apis Europae, denying them a spot in a final for the first time ever since their creation in 2012. In the end they fell short against a spirited performance from Frontline Tactics, who thus managed to win the first tournament they had entered and were crowned Warband Summer Cup champions.​

Warband Native League
Season 6


⸻ Tournament Summary ⸻
After a two year hiatus the Warband Native League returned for its sixth season. Recently crowned WSC champions Frontline Tactics went into the tournament as favourites, alongside French juggernauts Unity, Freelancers spiritual successors Guess Who's Back and finally Apis Europae. Beneath this group of top contenders, teams such as Aequalitas, Geese Pack and Knights of Malta were widely considered the best of the rest.

In their first big test of the season, Apis Europae came out of the starting blocks poorly and lost in a very one-sided game against Guess Who's Back. The other contenders for the title traded wins and losses throughout the season, apart from Frontline Tactics who walked over all opposition with ease to finish the ladder stage in first place. After their early loss in the season, a restrengthened Apis Europae went on to win their remaining matches, finishing in second place right, which earned them and a bye into the semi finals alongside FT. German outfit Aequalitas pulled off an upset victory against Unity to secure third place after the ladder stage, whilst Guess Who's Back finished fourth after a particularly difficult series of matches. French side Unity and Knights of Malta managed to grap the remaining two spots for the knockout stage.

There, Guess Who's Back narrowly overcame a spirited Unity performance whilst Aequalitas easily defeated Knights of Malta. In the semi finals Guess Who's Back met Frontline Tactics for the third time during the tournament. Despite a good start into the match, Frontline Tactics proved to be too strong this time as well, and in the end deservedly booked their tickets for the finals. In the other semi final Apis Europae hammered Aequalitas without dropping a single round. Still, in the finals against Frontline Tactics they were, for the first time ever in their history, considered the underdogs. After a surprisingly clear victory on the open map, Apis Europae was satisfied with a 3-2 win in the third set to secure the championship and regain their seat at the top of the scene. It was the fifth victory in the Warband Native League for the legendary side, and the last tournament they would participate in.​

Warband Summer Cup
Season 2


⸻ Tournament Summary ⸻
The start of the second iteration of the Warband Summer Cup marked a relatively big shift at the top of the scene as both Frontline Tactics and Unity made a considerable amount of roster changes. Joining them at the top was GR, mainly made up of old KURWA players around their spiritus rector SotaMursu. Following behind were long time heavy hitters Defenders of Wonwokie and Aequalitas. Split into four groups, the favourites all secured their spot in the quarter finals early on. Frontline Tactics faced little opposition after closest rival Resurrected Knights had dropped out in Week 1. Unity, Aequalitas and GR won their groups with ease as well, with GR being the only top title contender to drop more than 10 rounds in 5 matches, all of them against Defenders of Wonwokie.

The knockout stage started with a big surprise as a spirited Defenders of Wonwokie managed to take down favourites Unity in an intense quarter final match, locking in their spot in the semis finals against Aequalitas who had overcome Knights of Malta. On the other side of the bracket and after a dispute over scheduling issues due to the BladeCast Masters, Frontline Tactics would meet GR in the semi finals in what most people now had down as the early finals of the tournament. Both teams had met just the day before in the finals of the BCM, and again gave everyone a spectacle to watch as Frontline Tactics narrowly beat GR in a hotly contested clash of titans. In the finals Aequalitas started out strong securing a 3-0 win in the first set, but later on failed to withstand Frontline Tactics who were once again crowned champions of the Warband Summer Cup.​

BladeCast Masters


⸻ Tournament Summary ⸻
The BladeCast Masters was a fast paced, two-week tournament focusing on top level Warband, organized by streaming channel BladeCast TV in the second half of 2018. Half of the places for the Main Event were awarded in a qualifying phase, the other half given out to what were currently the best four teams in the scene. The BCM was hosted alongside the second season of the Warband Summer Cup and saw the introduction of roster caps of 10 players per team. BladeCast TV themselves covered the tournament both with high quality livestreams as well as written match previews and articles on other tournament related topics.

The tournament was very well received by the community with more than 20 teams trying to grab one of the four places for the Main Event, most likely not least because of the prizes sponsored by TaleWorlds, which had delayed the tournament to the last. In the end, the most experienced teams of the qualifiers, Rising Rivals, Inversed Brains, Knights of Malta and Blackened, won their groups and thus locked in their spots for the main event. Joining them were European superteams Frontline Tactics and KROWA, French juggernauts Unity and German outfit Aequalitas.

Placed into a single elimination bracket, the quarter finals saw no big surprises as all favourites came out on top in their matches, three of them in convincing fashion. Only Blackened gave Aequalitas a good run for their money, forcing them to go all the way until Aequalitas would eventually gain the upper hand on Winterburg. In the semi finals two of the top favourites would meet in KROWA and Unity. Their match kept its promises as both teams showed brilliance throughout the match, with KROWA narrowling defeating Unity in the end. In the finals they met Frontline Tactics, who had won against Aequalitas thanks to a calm and collected performance the day before. Stacked with numerous talented and experienced players, both teams offered the spectators an absolute spectacle to watch. Frontline Tactics eventually managed to defeat KROWA on an intense second map, making them champions of the BladeCast Masters.​
