Chapter 208: The homecoming
Club Echelon secured another victory against an opponent in the English Pro Alliance, Cerberus Core this time. Another flawless performance.
And with it, they took their points tally to 12 points for the season, level on points with Cyber Squad while 3 points behind Phoenix Rising and Scarlet Rose who both won all 5 of their games at the end of matchday 5.
Club Echelon was 3 points behind because their initial matchday 4 encounter against Cyber Squad was postponed due to the emergency that happened.
Phoenix Rising and Scarlet Rose were at 15 points each.
After matchday 5, the fact that Club Echelon was keeping up with the top 3 clubs in the English Pro Alliance was not what shocked fans more, rather, it was because of the incredible record that they broke with it.
It was already more than a decade since the English Pro Alliance started, and yet, no club had been able to get more than 3 flawless victories in a row.
And yet, Club Echelon just did it, shattering the record.
They doing it was shocking, but it was not the most shocking factor. The most shocking factor was the fact that this season was Club Echelon’s inaugural season in the English Pro Alliance, their debut season, and to go on and shatter such a significant record immediately... was just crazy.
After matchday 1, Club Echelon was already highly rated and yet, after each matchday, English Warstar fans kept on realizing that they still underestimated the new London club.
After matchday 5, they no longer predicted. Club Echelon was the dark horse this season, and those guys were out to shatter some crazy records in the league.
Earlier in the season, fans acknowledged that Echelon was good, a top tier club, but not yet at the level of legendary clubs like Cyber Squad, Phoenix Rising, and Scarlet Rose this season.
