K5 cannot keep hands to themselves, chokes in the end

A visual representation: K5 alliances at the endpoint of War of the Kingdoms. Also, go watch the movie from where this screenshot was taken.

From K5 correspondent Aquellia:

A little over the halfway point, ASH (Ang3licShad0w) turned up and swept most of the castles. They (K4) were ahead [by a significant margin] for maybe an hour. Then we pulled it (the gap) back and stayed neck and neck, with small gains until about three hours left, when they took [King’s Landing] again.

There were a couple [of K5] alliances more concerned with fighting each other towards the end than to keep going for the win. I think a lot of people gave up at the end, the neck and neck fight became just K4 gaining more points towards the end. There was like [less than a ten-million-point] difference until the last hour, and we ended with that 100-million-point difference.

My alliance certainly didn’t give up, but we’re not exactly strong anymore. I think 17th isn’t bad; we’re 18th on K5, and the leaderboard is shared, so it’s like placing twice as high.

Yura En Grey of K4 shared this:

K5 was winning most of the time. They [had] at least top ten alliances invading K4, playing well as a team, [and] taking most of the points by taking K4 castles. (On K4): Most of the small alliances were gathering [on] K5 – the one that gives the least points – and it’s too risky; why? You have to be aware all the time because gathering gives less points, but attacking gathering sites gives lots of points. [The] big two alliances were holding less castles, but at the last and with so much effort, they won for very less. A united kingdom is required for this [to be pulled off].

K7 makes short work of K3

K19 wins in most ‘boring’ fashion

We got this brief analysis here:

It was lame. Our (K19) guy spent probably thousands on this game [and] just soloed all of K20’s top alliances in the first three hours. Then, they (K20) all bubbled up.
