Right, let's take a look at the all-out war results for Arthdal Chronicles. The Black Night Archipelago Masters League is currently marching towards the round of 4 matchings for week 2. From after the maintenance on September 16 until before the maintenance on September 23, battles between the round of 8 winning groups and the general groups are scheduled to take place. Since this tournament carries bigger rewards and prestige, the total war has settled into a rather quiet atmosphere one after another. This week also decided the owners region by region without any special combat. You can check the detailed results and this week's virtual matching through the main text.

Total War Brackets and Results

This week's total war results follow a similar pattern to last week. Many occupying alliances placed bids in the same places once more, and successfully occupied them just like that. The sole exception is the 'Crazy' alliance of Aramun Haesla. Having occupied the 'Great Black Wall West' last week, they instead placed a bid on the 'Sea of Tears East'. Though they changed locations, there were no bidders other than that alliance, so they succeeded in the occupation as is. For reference, the Great Black Wall West was left as an unoccupied area since not a single alliance bid on it.

Masters League semi-final favorites 'Gusok (Darkus) vs 金荷會館 (Thoros)'

The competitive heat has reached its peak, and the outline of the Masters League semi-final bracket is slowly revealing itself. Here, for the first winning group matching, the scores of Yunseul and Aramun Haesla belonging to the top 2 groups are the key. As of 12:05 PM on September 15, Yunseul is ahead by 2,560 points. If things stay this way, that server is likely to clash with group 1 Nandalsan.

The second winning group matching has an even larger score gap, giving rise to a strong prediction for the bracket. That is none other than Darkus and Thoros. Each is leading Mihaje and Siar by a massive score gap, so the outcome looks practically decided. Therefore, for this virtual matching, we have prepared the Gusok alliance representing Darkus and the '金荷會館' alliance representing Thoros.

First off, the Gusok alliance is a veteran outfit that has held Darkus's vested interests for quite some time. Mid-to-high combat power rankers seasoned in battle, such as the named ranker 'Sasum, Noru, Dokjong', are stationed here. They boast a high understanding of the battlefield thanks to their wealth of experience in tournaments and various content. In this 3rd Masters League round of 8, they widened the score gap against Siar to more than double.

The side likely to clash with them is the '金荷會館' alliance representing Thoros. Though they started on a relatively late-comer server, high combat power rankers joined following the Thoros server transfer. Spearheaded by '鬼小島彌太郎' from the Daehongma server, they are active on the battlefield. Compared to the Gusok alliance, what they lack is experience; they haven't yet achieved any notable results in total wars or integrated content. Thus, this Masters League is showing signs of becoming the cornerstone for the alliance's growth. With the upper hand secured against the 'K-Neutral' alliance they met in the round of 8, advancing to the semi-finals looks promising.

An all-out 4-way match between these mentioned alliances looks probable, but the combat power gap is fairly significant. From the average combat power of core forces to the participating headcount, Gusok is overwhelmingly stronger. Still, the grit recently shown by 金荷會館 is nothing to scoff at, and with the allied firepower within the server impossible to ignore, the possibility of a tight battle cannot be entirely ruled out.

The top combat power ranker of the Gusok alliance belonging to Darkus is the assassin Sasum (combat power 229,184). Pitting against them, the top ranker for '金荷會館' under Thoros is the assassin 鬼小島彌太郎 (combat power 232,315). Both rankers share the same class and similar combat power, hinting at a neck-and-neck showdown.

Next up, the Gusok alliance's number two in combat power is Noru (combat power 227,959), who acts as a rare Stormweaver alongside number five Rahu (combat power 184,769), making for a slightly more advantageous combination in wide-area combat. A diverse class composition, including number three assassin Dokjong (combat power 227,959) and number four brawler Gu Bong-pal (combat power 189,764), remains a distinct trait of the Gusok alliance.

On the flip side, 金荷會館 relies heavily on an assassin-centric combat strategy. From the previously introduced top three rankers down to柳生十兵衛 (combat power 183,258) and number five 細菌人 (combat power 156,375), assassins take the vanguard. Since the combat power gap is rather substantial, how they manage to steer the fight will be the ultimate deciding factor.
