The third week of July has seen the Raven 2 conquest battles reach their conclusion. It appears to be a season of firsts, as a host of guilds finally tasted victory. Beyond the likes of RoyalDaNaeKkeo, L-Peace, and Villains, nearly every participant walked away with their maiden victory points. Meanwhile, Villains has successfully climbed to second place in the overall conquest battle victory rankings.

The bracket for the first battlegrounds in both groups was nothing short of gripping. Group 1 played host to heavyweights such as Gzone, Valentine, and Mushin-eun-mot-mal-ryeo. Valentine managed to topple Gzone, eventually clashing with RoyalDaNaeKkeo in the finals. While the championship slipped through Valentine's fingers this time, there is always another chance on the horizon.

The atmosphere in the Group 2 first battleground was arguably more ferocious. Veterans of the ancient citadels, including the Raon Alliance, Nangman, and Kal-toe-geun, all threw their hats into the ring. In a display of pure grit, Nangman and Codename fought their way to the final showdown, where Codename ultimately emerged victorious.

Moving on to the overall Raven 2 conquest victory rankings, the chart remains remarkably stable despite the influx of new winners. The only shifts of note occurred within the first and second battlegrounds. In the first, RoyalDaNaeKkeo continues its dominant run, leaving the competition trailing in its wake.

As for the 2nd battleground, Villains has made a splash, entering the top 5 and vaulting straight into second place. With a tally of '0 / 3 / 0 / 0', Villains has effectively shattered the established status quo. Previously, the benchmark for the top tier was set at 'two 2nd-battleground wins,' with other guilds jostling for position based on lower-tier points. It seems the competitive landscape of the 2nd battleground is shifting toward a new trajectory.
