[h3]Chinese Mainland Region[/h3]
[h3]Match: QIN VS YZY | [Heilung Fjord / White Elk Fort] | 3-0[/h3]
[h3]Round 1 (QIN Attack - YZY Defense, Heilung Fjord)[/h3]
QIN launched a full-force assault on Point A, blending a frontal infantry push with a flanking cavalry sweep. Inside the point, they steadily tightened the pressure. When both sides clashed in a cavalry duel, QIN’s anti-cav unit setup gave them the edge, gradually widening the unit loss gap. They then maneuvered to the backline Supply Point at C, seized the terrain advantage, and wore down YZY through relentless poking and zone control. Clean win for QIN in the opener.
[h3]Round 2 (YZY Attack - QIN Defense, Heilung Fjord)[/h3]
YZY went all-in on Point A with Siphonarioi at the core, scoring early damage thanks to their fire-based offense. But QIN spotted a split in their forces—countered hard on the left with heavy units, stalled them on the right using their own Siphonarioi formation, then converged for a full-on push to retake control. YZY did manage a brief back-cap of C, but QIN crushed the bait force on the left and swung back through the flank near main base, securing the win through smart composition and map control.
[h3]Round 3 (YZY Attack - QIN Defense, White Elk Fort)[/h3]
YZY breached the right wall, rotated from right supply to left, aiming to cut off QIN’s reinforcements. But QIN’s Hero led a cavalry charge straight from base into YZY’s rear, throwing their formation into chaos. With two minutes left, YZY went all-in on A from the left—but QIN struck from both flanks, collapsing YZY’s line and turning the tide. QIN locked down every point, sweeping the series 3-0 to punch their ticket to the next stage.

[h3]Match: PAE VS DOC | [Heilung Fjord] | 3-0[/h3]
[h3]Round 1 (PAE Attack - DOC Defense, Heilung Fjord)[/h3]
PAE pulled a classic bait at Point B, drawing out DOC’s main force, then snapped hard onto A in a surprise strike. Catching DOC’s Units out of position and low on stamina, they quickly secured the point and surged ahead with a 300-unit lead. In the brawl for the rear Supply Point at C, PAE steamrolled through with sheer numbers and quality, smashing DOC’s backline and locking in the first win.
[h3]Round 2 (DOC Attack - PAE Defense, Heilung Fjord)[/h3]
DOC tried a synchronized A-B double push, but PAE read the play. They gave up A without hesitation, collapsed on DOC’s mobile force at B, then pounced on their isolated core. In the skirmish to the right of B, PAE chipped away with utility Units and wiped out all of DOC’s Heroes, growing their lead and claiming another dominant round.
[h3]Round 3 (DOC Attack - PAE Defense, Heilung Fjord)[/h3]
DOC rushed A with their full squad, ignoring the trap—PAE’s shield and spear Units lying in wait near the courtyard. From the rear, PAE cut off DOC’s formation, encircled the A-point attackers, and wiped them out clean. At B, it was textbook execution—soften with functional Units, then let the cavalry sweep up the frontliners. PAE seals the sweep 3-0 and powers into the next stage.

CBL SPIRIT|LEAD: It’s not about command, it’s about leading from the front.


On CBL’s battlefield of fire and steel, true leadership isn’t about status or strategy on paper.
It’s you—the one who always charges first.
In six years, 1,116 team captains have led their troops into CBL. 4,050 House leaders have fought in Territory Wars.
They’ve shown the world: “LEAD” is not a title. It’s a choice. A responsibility. A spirit born of Conqueror’s Blade.
It’s the calm “Follow me” before the match begins.
It’s the unspoken “We can win this” in the final seconds before a charge.
You are the anchor of belief. The hand that holds the team together.
Because this is not about command, it’s about leading from the front.

CBL SPIRIT|UNITE: Believe in the power of “us”


In Conqueror’s Blade’s epic 15v15 ancient battlefields,
702 teams have flown the CBL banner across six years,
Fighting side by side in 2,221,061 Ranked Battles.
Here, no one fights alone.
This fist bump represents—
The unity between you and teammates.
The silent bond between you and unit.
Behind you are brothers who stayed up through countless nights to hold that point.
Behind you are units who’ve bled beside you for hundreds of battles.
No words are needed. A fist bump says it all.

[h3]Match 1: HBB vs OSS[/h3]
[h3]Map: Heilung Fjord[/h3]
[h3]Score: 1-2[/h3]
[h3]Round 1 (HBB Attack – OSS Defense)[/h3]
HBB kicked off with a double-pronged assault—main force drawing fire at A while a 5-man elite squad snuck through the broken wall near B. OSS split too thin, and HBB capitalized with a pincer strike to steamroll Point A, B and C in record time.
The sneaky squad pushed all the way to the Base through the left path, drawing OSS back. HBB dropped Mortars on C Supply and decimated the defenders—gaining over 200 in Unit advantage.
They closed it out with a Sunward Phalanx and Dagger-Axe Lancers combo—OSS couldn’t hold. 1-0 for HBB!
[h3]Round 2 (OSS Attack – HBB Defense)[/h3]
OSS went full force at A, with Imperial Spear Guards, Sunward Phalanx, and Siphonarioi leading the charge. Lionroar Crew and Zykalian Militia lit up the field with a deadly crossfire.
HBB split to flank but left A too thin. OSS shredded them and swept ABC. HBB fell back to defend C Supply but got hammered by Mortars before a full-on assault broke through.
Though HBB managed a surprise Cavalry raid to delay the Base push, the main force was gutted. OSS regrouped with Dagger-Axe Lancers and Camel Lancers, bulldozed the Base, and tied the series 1-1!
[h3]Round 3 (HBB Attack – OSS Defense)[/h3]
[h3]Map: Grasslands[/h3]
OSS stormed Point C early and secured A, leaving B open. HBB took B and pushed to reclaim C through a brutal brawl.
OSS then snatched B back and pressured C nonstop, locking HBB into a corner.
With 2 minutes to go, OSS launched a focused assault on C. HBB’s Heroes dropped one by one, and OSS took all three points under control, triggering a fast-point drain.
OSS completes the comeback—2-1 reverse sweep!
 
[h3]Match 2: BOD vs MMMD[/h3]
[h3]Map: Harbour City[/h3]
[h3]Score: 2-0[/h3]
[h3]Round 1 (BOD Attack – MMMD Defense)[/h3]
MMMD opened with a sneaky Companion Cavalry raid through the left gate and Hwarang bowfire from the walls.
BOD adapted fast—neutralized the Cavalry, then sent flanking squads over the right wall to seize A.
While BOD pushed for A Supply, MMMD countered with a Dagger-Axe Lancers sandwich. The brawl was brutal.
MMMD baited a retreat to the Base, but BOD’s Trebuchets rained pain and secured a narrow win. MMMD’s Heroes were nearly all dead, and the defense collapsed. 1-0 to BOD.
[h3]Round 2 (MMMD Attack – BOD Defense)[/h3]
MMMD split their forces—main push through the left gate to tie up BOD’s defenders, while a small squad went straight for A. They took A, set up Artillery, and forced BOD back to A Supply.
Going for a Base Supply and Base double push, they misfired a Trebuchet and walked into a BOD counterstrike—total wipe.
MMMD regrouped and took Base Supply again, but got overrun before they could dig in. With a nearly 400-Unit deficit, BOD went on the hunt, crushing scattered MMMD squads.
Time ran out, MMMD couldn’t recover—BOD sweeps the series 2-0!
 

[CBL Brand Vision Unveiled|LEAD, UNITE, TRIUMPH]

As the 2025 CBL Group Stage draws to a close, Conqueror’s Blade now marches into the thrilling Knockout Stage. Time flies — and with it, we realize that Warlords have stood by CBL for six incredible years.
Looking back, six years ago, there were no official tournaments in Conqueror’s Blade. CBL didn’t even exist.
In 2020, we hosted our first official event: the “Conqueror’s Aid Cup” — a name born from a global crisis we faced together.
The top 8 teams in “Conqueror’s Aid Cup” made a deeply moving decision: to donate the entire prize to the Red Cross. It was the first time that the developers and players united behind a shared cause, laying down the foundation of CBL’s core — unite and triumph.
Since then, CBL has welcomed over 700 teams and more than 12,000 participants. From the Great Wall of North China to the cathedrals of Europe, from the Rocky Mountains of North America to the golden deserts of the Middle East — our players have left their mark across the globe.
Battlefields may shift, but the blood that burns in every Warlord’s heart remains. The times change, but our belief in this journey must endure.
CBL steps into a new year, and so do the journeys of our Warlords. There are too many tales worth telling, too many spirits worth celebrating.
So today, we share this tribute—a small but sincere footnote to all the courage we’ve seen, heard, and felt. We call it — LEAD, UNITE, TRIUMPH
 
 
LEAD — It's not about command, it’s about leading from the front.
For anyone striving for victory, the worst fate is chaos — no clear orders, scattered teammates, an unresponsive rear guard. When every soldier fights alone, defeat is inevitable. No hand to lead, no path to follow.
And that’s the soul of Conqueror’s Blade. It’s never been about lone wolves charging blind. It’s about sharp calls, united will, and bold decisions that bring shared victory.
Take Legolas, a seasoned commander and CN streamer from team CNC. He made waves in CBL with his iconic tactic: opening the gates while defending and launching a surprise cavalry charge. The crowd was stunned — but behind the brilliance was endless study of unit tactics and constant coordination with his team.
Legolas met his teammates in 2019. Their synergy was forged in countless siege battles. When CBL came, he realized his squad excelled at cavalry. So he built a tactic around it, tailored precisely to their strengths.
Before every match, he assigned units and roles. Every teammate knew their mission. Once the battle started, they became his eyes—reporting enemy movements in real-time. At the perfect moment, they’d storm out together, galloping toward glory. Even when a rear guard sacrifice was needed, a single “Watch the flank!” was enough. No complaints. Only trust.
That’s what “LEAD” means in Conqueror’s Blade. And it’s not reserved for those in the spotlight.
Maybe in the real world, you’re a student, a factory worker, an office clerk just trying to make ends meet. But in Conqueror’s Blade, your troops await your command. Their steeds' hooves scrape the earth, breath steaming in the cold, yearning for your next charge.
Each time you dive into the enemy ranks, shoulder to shoulder, you are leading them forward — toward victory.
 
UNITE — Believe in the Power of “Us”
Teamwork. It’s the eternal secret to triumph in any multiplayer battlefield. In the chaos of a 15v15 battlefield, lone wolves fall fast.
But unity in Conqueror’s Blade goes beyond in-game tactics. It lives in the real bonds forged outside the screen.
We still remember the story from 2021. A 24-year-old Warlord had just graduated—only to be diagnosed with a glioma brain tumor. His friends turned to the community for help, posting on the forums. Hundreds of Warlords responded. One message read, “Helping him means more than winning any Territory War.”
Thanks to the generosity of the players, he was able to receive surgery.
Conqueror’s Blade is not just a battlefield. It’s a brotherhood. A home.
Another Warlord, [3000 songs], once wrote a long tribute to the Fire Lancers. He didn’t choose them because they were strong — he chose them because he loved them.
Even when Winged Hussars reigned supreme, he never gave up on his Lancers.
He wrote: “Do you have a Unit you truly love? One you refuse to abandon? If you always chase the meta, then it’s not you playing the Unit — it’s the Unit playing you.”
To him, the Fire Lancers weren’t just numbers—they were brothers-in-arms.
In this world without blood ties, we’ve proven what “brotherhood” really means:
Through thick and thin. Through storm and fire.
Even in hardship, we never back down —
Because we believe in the power of “Us”.
 
TRIUMPH — It’s not about victory. It’s about never backing down.
We’ve seen countless stories of winning in Conqueror’s Blade.
But true glory has never lived in the leaderboard. It lives in the moment you refuse to quit. In the back turned to retreat but never giving up.
In 2021, a team from Southeast Asia was struck by devastating floods.
They didn’t withdraw.
They paddled through submerged streets, crossing ruined districts in boats—just to find a functioning cybercafé.
They made it. They even posted a group photo: “Rowing to the tournament.”
Their faces were soaked, but their eyes were on fire.
And last year, during CBL, a Ukrainian team requested a schedule change. Based on the rules, the request was to be denied —
Until they revealed the truth: they were in a war zone. Their city suffered power outages, strict curfews, and only a narrow window during the day for stable electricity.
Every login was a race against reality.
The CBL team made an exception. The team played.
At that point, victory didn’t matter. We don’t remember if they won.We remember they showed up. That is TRIUMPH.
It belongs to those who refuse to run. To those who never log out, even when the odds are stacked.
Sometimes, glory isn’t winning.
It’s showing up when you know you might lose — and fighting anyway.
 
If these six years were a diary, it would be 2,190 pages long. It’d weigh 11 kilograms.
But even that wouldn’t hold all the stories our Warlords have lived.
So, let this serve as our humble tribute to each and every one of you: LEAD, UNITE, TRIUMPH.
