Here are the results of the first Raven 2 skirmish in August. We are seeing a fairly even split between repeat champions and first-time winners this time around. RoyalDanaekkeo, the guild with the most victories, has reached 18 wins and is now eyeing the 20-win milestone. Meanwhile, ING secured 3 wins in the 2nd battlefield. Thanks to this victory, they have entered the TOP 5 of the victory rankings by battlefield. Hwakkaesu in Group 2 and Daily in Group 1 have each recorded 4 wins in their respective battlefields.

In Group 2, notable powerhouses like Nangman and Valentine, along with Nangmyan and ValentineG—whose names bear a striking resemblance—have sounded the drums of victory. I suspect Nangmyan might be a rebranding of Nangman, given the significant wave of server transfers that took place between July 15th and 21st.

ValentineG is a completely different entity from the Ancient Citadel powerhouse, Valentine. The 2nd battlefield in Group 2 saw Valentine and ValentineA in the match-ups, while ValentineG participated in the 2nd battlefield. Valentine is affiliated with Raon, while the other two guilds belong to the Gonggam alliance; it is possible, though, that these two alliances are currently in an alliance of their own.

Let's take a look at the victory rankings by battlefield. This week, we saw new point records set across all arenas. In the 1st battlefield, RoyalDanaekkeo pushed their high score even further, widening the gap between themselves and other top-tier guilds in the same arena. Hwakkaesu in the 3rd, and both Daily and Hwakkaesu in the 4th, also piled up points, though neither managed to climb the rankings.

Amidst all this, ING in the 2nd battlefield managed a successful chart climb, soaring from outside the TOP 5 to 3rd place. It is worth noting that ING's points come solely from their 3 wins in the 2nd battlefield. The guilds previously holding 3rd and 4th place had accumulated points from other battlefields as well, while the 5th place guild managed back-to-back wins in the 2nd battlefield. To overtake them, one needed to stack points in the 2nd battlefield—a feat ING accomplished. We shall see if they can maintain this momentum to catch up with 2nd place, Villains.
