The tension is building as we approach the third Invasion Day of Season 24! New alliances and old rivalries are reshaping the landscape on every server, and no guild seems to have a lock on retaining its top spot from last season. This is where we left off:

• On Albion Europe, title holders Sex and Flex have been locked in a fierce contest with Polska Gurom, who are ramping up their attacks with the help of the BOBER alliance. By raiding the reigning champions’ territories, Polska Gurom now has a real shot at taking the throne.
• Over on Albion Asia, One Gin, as part of the season debutant Arthur's Rest coalition, has crushed Peony Flower's push for the top spot and secured a record-breaking lead that may be too much for anyone to overcome.
• In the Americas, allies IFures and D R U Y D S have held on to the top two spots, but The Lonely Men are closing the gap, making this final stretch critical for determining who comes out on top.

The ante is about to be raised with Season Points doubled from this weekend on, making this a crucial moment for guilds looking to claim the top spot.



Come and watch the conflict play out live on twitch.tv/albiononline with hosts Robinhoodrs, Shozen, Lewpac, Bogul, and Tazzik providing commentary and analysis of the carnage. With double scoring making every move count, this Invasion Day promises to be full of action and high-stakes skirmishes! Tune in at the following times to witness the key battles and the twists and turns that could change the course of the season:

• Albion Asia: September 21, 14:00 UTC
• Albion Europe: September 21, 18:00 UTC
• Albion Americas: September 22, 01:00 UTC

Invasion Day brings a full reset of all territories, giving guilds large and small a chance to claim lands and earn valuable Season Points. Check out the full Guild Season 24 schedule on our forums.
