Group 1
Heavy Knights – Full armor, big sword and shield, not very quick. One of the pre-tournament favorites
Wild Men – Leather armor, muscles and body paint, and an axe in each hand
Persians – Pointy helmets, curved blades and beards.
Zombies – Your traditional slow-moving zombie, they have the perk that if they kill an enemy it’ll rise as a zombie.

Bookies have Heavy Knights and Zombies as the favorites to go through, but it’s a tight group with no easy opponents. Literally a group of death.

Round 1
Heavy Knights v Wild Men – It’s obvious from the start that this isn’t going well for the favorites, the Wild Men are wider so their line is wider and flanks the Heavy Knights on both sides. The knights break through the middle of the line, but by then they’re so outnumbered it’s all over. Wild Men win the match with 712 of their 2000 surviving. The tournament is underway with an upset.

Persians v Zombies – One sided and the result is never in doubt. The Zombies start with 2000 and end the match with 3200. Pretty quickly too, hopefully they’re not overpowered.

Round 2
Heavy Knights v Zombies – The seeded team came in needing a win to keep their tournament alive, and they delivered. No worries about the Zombies being overpowered now, Heavy Knights brush them aside, ending with 1600+ survivors

Wild Men v Persians – It’s not that the Zombies are overpowered: it’s that the Persians are useless. Looks like they’d have trouble beating 10000 chickens on current form. Wild Men win with no problems.

Round 3
Heavy Knights v Persians – Heavy Knights steamroller the ineffectual Persians to get to two wins. The Persians would be in for a rough welcome from the fans at home if they weren’t all dead.

Wild Men v Zombies – A Wild Men win and its them and the Heavy Knights who qualify, lose and there’s three teams on two wins and I really should have thought of tiebreakers before starting. Fortunately that’s not a problem as Wild Men handle the Zombies easily.

Standings
Wild Men 3-0
Heavy Knights 2-1
Zombies 1-2
Persians 0-3

Wild Men will face the runner up from Group 2, and Heavy Knights the winner from Group 2 in the quarter-finals.
