After a week of fierce castle clashes and high-pressure brawls, the Smallscale Cup has reached its conclusion. One team stood tall at the end, breaking through enemy lines and holding strong under pressure to claim the title.

Congratulations to Clean Kill, the champions of the second edition of the Smallscale Cup! Across a grueling finale, Clean Kill proved their strength in both offense and defense, swiftly adapting to every shift and securing the advantage where it mattered most. They take home 200 million Silver and 30 days of Premium per player. Ebanfall delivered an unforgettable performance of their own, putting in a strong showing throughout the tournament and earning 7 days of Premium for their efforts.

Here’s how the tournament played out:



From coordinated attacks to last-second nail-biters, this tournament showed just how far tight-knit teams can go with the right calls and synergy. Relive the best castle clashes on the Smallscale Cup channel, and keep an eye on their Discord for information on upcoming community tournaments.

If you're a fan of siege strategy at its sharpest, this is one showdown you won’t want to miss!

The AlbionTV (twitch.tv/albiononline) interview series with AOCP Ambassadors returns this Friday after a short off-season break. Kicking things off is none other than Fakturka, who joins the crew at 20:00 UTC for a live interview. We’ve put together this spotlight to give you a proper introduction before he goes live.

• Twitch: twitch.tv/fakturka
• Main Focus: Solo PvP, Corrupted Dungeons

There’s something refreshing about a channel that cuts straight to the action, and that’s exactly what you’ll find with Fakturka. His content is a throwback to classic “just play” streams: no distractions, no drama, just smart builds and sharp strategies.

Streaming daily in Albion Europe while testing weapons, climbing ranks, or kicking off another zero-to-hero run, he’s all about clean PvP fights with precision and adaptability. And if you think you’ve got the edge in a 1v1, be warned. Fakturka has a habit of turning would-be champions into highlight reel material.

A longtime fan of the original Corrupted Dungeons, Fakturka keeps that spirit alive with every duel he takes. He’s not interested in abusing metas or cheese strats, he simply shows what works when skill meets focus. Now, as a new Ambassador, he’s bringing that philosophy to a wider stage. His YouTube videos often open with brief, practical explanations of his current build, then dive straight into extended footage showing how it holds up in real combat. It’s a clear, honest, and highly watchable teaching-by-doing approach.

While Fakturka streams primarily in Russian, his content is crafted for a global audience, with English intros, subtitles, and descriptions that make it easy to follow. So if you’re into gameplay that speaks for itself, Fakturka’s channel is a must-watch. Catch him live, or tune in to AlbionTV on April 25 to meet the duelist behind the clips – and don’t miss your chance to win a Demon Hunter vanity skin during the broadcast!
