On the 21st, 'Arthdal Chronicles: Three Factions' (hereinafter Arthdal Chronicles) announced the matching groups for the 2nd Black Night Archipelago Masters League. Unlike the first round, this time we are seeing a massive, record-breaking war brewing in the Masters League. So, who exactly made it into which league, and which heavy hitters are leading the charge? KookminTree has crunched the numbers for you.

A massive war erupts in the Masters League

During the first round, the 'Yunseul' coalition, led by Pae-ak-jil, applied for the Masters League, while the 'Aramunhaesla' coalition with Cheonha-cheon-geom took Platinum. The top-ranked coalition from Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau, known as 'Ha-je-san', went for Gold. Aside from the Silver League, most players walked away with rewards without much of a fuss. But this second round? It’s a different beast entirely, as almost every top-tier server decided to cram their way into the Masters League.

Just look at the lineup: we have Yunseul 2, featuring the powerhouse duo of Pae-ak-jil and Ho-it-i; Aramunhaesla 2 with Cheonha-cheon-geom, Gisa-do, and L-dae-pyo; and Yunseul 1 with Mi-chin-ja and Dokkaebi-v. Add in the top-ranked Ha-je-san 1, the notoriously overpopulated Isod-nyeong 1, and the global number one, Tagon 1, and you have a recipe for absolute chaos.

With such stellar talent in one room, it’s no surprise they’ve started forming alliances and kicking off a bloody war from the get-go. The current landscape sees a massive clash: a coalition of Yunseul and Isod-nyeong, anchored by Pae-ak-jil, Ho-it-i, and Mi-chin-ja, is squaring off against a unified front of almost every other server, spearheaded by Cheonha-cheon-geom. It’s going to be a fascinating watch to see who emerges victorious from this carnage.
