Accord Wars Trial #11 was a Friday Night Overthrow.
The Cunning Champions seized the Firmament.
Friday’s Trial wasn’t an upset, it was an overthrow. After weeks of Pathfinder dominance, the Cunning Champions stormed the arena with surgical precision and left nothing but wreckage behind them. Trial #11 will be remembered not as a close contest, but as the night the Champions seized control.
Round 1 — The Champions Detonate the Arena
The opening round set the tone instantly. Champions didn’t warm up, they detonated.
Risotto Groupon erupted in Pod B with a triple win condition, and Pickles matched it in Pod C with another triple, blowing the scoreboard open. Schumaniac kept pace in Pod D with a brutal double win condition, giving the Champions a full sweep across three pods.
Only the Sovereign Warriors broke the silence:
Raventhon secured Brawlmaster in Pod A, and MadJack scraped Shardmaster in Pod D — the only non-Champion wins of the entire round.
And the Pathfinders?
Not a single win condition.
Round 1 ended with one message: the Champions were done waiting.
Round 2 — The Chokehold Tightens
Every pod erupted in double win conditions — a rare sight — but even in the chaos, the Champions dictated the pace.
An XN of the Xandrian Handlers and ProtonPrime of the Pathfinders fought back with double win-cons of their own, trying to claw momentum back into their favor.
But the Champions slammed the door shut.
Beezneezy and Schumaniac both secured double win conditions, shutting down the comeback attempt and smothering Pathfinder momentum entirely.
Trial #11 was slipping out of the Pathfinders’ hands in real time.
Round 3 — The Collapse
The Pathfinders, backs against the wall, tried to muster whatever was left in the tank.
Luchapetal, Hixter, and Protonprime clawed out single win conditions — desperate, necessary, but not enough.
The Champions had already smelled the finish line.
Risotto Groupon and Sarise delivered devastating double win conditions, crushing any chance of a late-game resurgence and locking in the inevitable blowout.
Final Result
Cunning Champions — 2,778 points
Alusian Pathfinders — 981 points
Sovereign Warriors — 854 points
Not a win. A landslide.
A New Leaderboard, A New Reality
The top 5 standings told the real story of the night:
Risotto Groupon, Schumaniac, Beezneezy, Sarise, and Pickles — all Champions.
A total Accord sweep.
Trial #11 didn’t just shake the season, it rewrote it. The Champions didn’t edge out the Pathfinders — they dismantled them. They took the crown, the confidence, and the conversation heading into Trial #12.
The season is changing hands.
And the Champions aren’t planning to let go.
