Hello again #splinterlands fans! This is star⭐ (@star-shroud) from @SHIELD-OF-GLORY back with moros👑 (@m0r0s) leader of CARDS OF FURY. We're here again with the next edition of the ⚔️ Brawls of Steel | End of Season Report ⚔️ Do you want to know who the best brawlers were this season? The best brawling guilds? There's no other place to find out than right here!

Season 96

This was yet another epic season for brawls! With TIER 3 up and running, a total of twenty (20) guilds battled it out in the Tier 3 arena. That's four (4) more guilds than last season. Even more exciting, there are twenty-six (26) guilds battling in Tier 3 arena this current brawl cycle---a total increase in participation of 62%! 📈 What seems clear is that now, finally, Tier 3 is gaining serious traction 🎉

Not only that, but the number of guilds participating in lower-tier brawls only continues to swell. As of the time this article published, there were 231 guilds fighting in TIER 2 and 536 guilds fighting in TIER 1. When SPS brawl rewards drop, watch out. The brawl ecosystem looks ready to explode 🔥🚀

Tier 3 Results

Most of the top guilds have now advanced to Tier 3. Compared to last season, the following guilds made the jump 💪

• TEAM POSSIBLE
• KNIGHTS UNITED
• ARCHMAGE ARIUS' DISCIPLES
• LEGENDARY WHELPS
• TEAM POSSIBLE TROOPS
• THE WIZARDS
• PEAKMOSTERS[VIKINGS]
• PEAKMONSTERS[ARCHON]

When it comes to the top brawling guilds, there can be no doubt though that SUMMONER'S TRIBE and THE GUILD OF NEOXIAN are the absolute best of the best. As shown below, both of these guilds utterly annihlated all competition yet again this season, coming in #1 and #2, respectively. LEGENDARY DRAGONS also turned in a solid performance to come in #3.

Looking at the top players by fray, we can see below that SUMMONER'S TRIBE and THE GUILD OF NEOXIAN covered the leaderboard again. Of all the top brawlers, @byzantinist (16-0) was the top brawler in Tier 3 for Season 96, with a perfect points-per-battle (PPB) ratio of 3.0. Congrats to byz on another flawless brawl performance! 🎉

On a separate note, not only did @xsuilx from SHIELD OF GLORY take the #1 spot in Fray 14 (Gold Foil | Bronze Summoner | Wild), he also had an incredible performance at the live tournament in Vegas last weekend at Splinterfest 🏆 congrats to a good friend and one of the game's most talented hand-pickers! 🎉

Tier 2 Results

It's been amazing to watch the developments in Tier 2 as well. With the exodus of most top guilds (advancing to Tier 3), an entire new group has not just taken over---they have taken Tier 2 to an entirely new level of competition!

In about as close of a finish as we've seen recently, LEGENDARY UNICORNS just edged out SPLINTERLANDS.RU[PRO] to take the #1 spot. LEGENDARY WIZARDS, IMMORTAL GODS 4, and LEGENDARY RAPTORS finished #3, #4 and #5 respectively.

Unlike in Tier 3, the top players in Tier 2 came from a diverse array of guilds. Of all the top brawlers, @saffisara (23-0) and @fighter4-freedom (18-0) were the best in Tier 2 for Season 96. Both achieved a perfect points-per-battle (PPB) ratio of 3.0.

Conclusion

That's the report on another amazing season! Keep and eye out as we move closer to some exciting developments including SPS brawls rewards and ... did someone say ... TIER 4? 🤯
