War for Atreia: The Captains, the Legions, the Stream Schedule and How Scoring Works

When NC first announced War for Atreia on September 19, it gave four sentences and no names. As of September 25, 2026, the gaps are mostly filled. An NC America press release dated September 21 names the captains, and the event site at warforatreia.com — linked from the official AION 2 YouTube channel — now carries the legions, a stream calendar and a rules section.

The three regions are North America, Europe and Latin America. Each region fields one Elyos legion and one Asmodian legion of ten creators, so every region has creators on both sides of the faction war. Japan, the fourth server region NC has announced for the global launch, has no legion. NC picked the six captains; per the press release, the other 54 creators went into regional draft pools of 18, and the two captains in each region took turns picking from their pool on the September 23 draft stream.

• North America: Stoopzz (Asmodian) vs SONII (Elyos)
• Europe: Wakayashi (Asmodian) vs BagginsTV (Elyos)
• Latin America: Rakin (Asmodian) vs Tixinhadois (Elyos)

Rosters as listed on warforatreia.com on September 25. The site has two apparent errors: CAHOS_GAMING appears on both Team Wakayashi and Team Rakin, and SerllinoGG is listed twice on Team Rakin. We reproduce the list as published and will correct it if the site does. The press release says each legion gets a name and sigil at the end of the draft, but the site still labels the teams by captain.

• Team Stoopzz (NA · Asmodian): Stoopzz (Captain), Suntokki, wolves, Johnpal, Duky, ArminTF, Vert, XenosysVex, mattshew, DankRNG
• Team SONII (NA · Elyos): SONII (Captain), KanonXO, SOLIDFPS, jenny, laufielol, iReviK, Narelio, Hexella, Moshi, ARROWIi
• Team Wakayashi (EU · Asmodian): Wakayashi (Captain), youmadsin, CAHOS_GAMING, Evangelion0, PvE_Zone, Smayro, Yuli, Lipej, AionJanis, Bourrinator
• Team BagginsTV (EU · Elyos): BagginsTV (Captain), SocietyOfGamin, aselon_eu, Drunge_, Entenburg, Asleyia, Cabolo, Alvaena, tamae_, Hormain
• Team Rakin (LatAm · Asmodian): Rakin (Captain), silence, CAHOS_GAMING, Trollzinha, AfricaAlbion, zPedra, SerllinoGG, SerllinoGG, MainQuestt, MochiiYuki
• Team Tixinhadois (LatAm · Elyos): Tixinhadois (Captain), OuluH, ItsMeMack, agnesmmorpg, jhoolna, Mano_Imp, ZeusGhostz, DeathweaverFT, gathano, NecroNixia

The site calls its calendar "Convergence" and describes it as the official Twitch broadcasts from the team draft to the final standings reveal. NC's September 24 YouTube post said the September 30 stream airs on both Twitch and YouTube. Update, September 28, 2026: the site's own markup carries no time value for any broadcast — a closer read shows the "10 AM PDT" times given below for October 5, 7 and 15 in our September 25 version were not sourced from the site itself, and we no longer state them as confirmed. Only two broadcasts currently have a published time: the September 23 draft, at 10 AM PT per NC America's press release, and the September 30 stream, at 11 AM PDT / 8 PM CEST / 3 PM BRT per a September 28 AION 2 YouTube community post that also renamed it "Early Access Launch Celebration" (previously "First Strike Stream"). For comparison, Steam lists the October 5 launch at 13:00 UTC, a time NC itself has not confirmed either.

• Wed Sept 23, 10 AM PDT: LIVE Team Draft Stream — done; the VOD is on the AION 2 YouTube channel
• Wed Sept 30, 11 AM PDT (18:00 UTC): LIVE Early Access Launch Celebration — "War for Atreia officially begins" — plus a Wildcard Release (renamed from "First Strike Stream"; time per a Sept 28 YouTube post, not the event site)
• Sat Oct 3, all day: Wildcard Release (moved from Fri Oct 2)
• Mon Oct 5, time unconfirmed: LIVE War Desk Stream — "a first look at the War and where the competition stands" — plus a Wildcard Release
• Wed Oct 7, time unconfirmed: LIVE War Desk Stream — "one final check-in before the finish" (moved from Mon Oct 12)
• Fri Oct 9, time unconfirmed: Wildcard Release
• Mon Oct 12, all day: Wildcard Release (no stream listed here anymore)
• Thu Oct 15, time unconfirmed: LIVE War for Atreia Championship Finals — final standings revealed, winning Legion crowned

The other days on the calendar just say "Tune in to the competition", which presumably means the creators' own streams. Nothing is scheduled after the October 15 Finals. That still answers the end-date question: the September 19 announcement's "two weeks" runs from September 30 to a finals broadcast on October 15. The site does not explain "Wildcard Release". It could be the "mid-campaign hidden bounties" from the press release or the "War Orders" in the rules, but NC has not said so.

Two other changes since September 25: the Wildcard Release originally dated Friday, October 2 now falls on Saturday, October 3, and the War Desk stream described as "one final check-in before the finish" has moved from Monday, October 12 to Wednesday, October 7 — October 12 is now a Wildcard Release with no stream attached. NC has not explained either change; we are reporting what the site currently shows against what it showed three days earlier.

The same week NC renamed the September 30 stream, it also published the first Early Access pre-download window, opening September 28, so the client can be installed before the Launch Celebration goes live.

The rules section ("Covenant") says points come from five areas, and that most of them come from playing AION 2:

• Progression — leveling, raising item level, character milestones.
• PvE — dungeons and other PvE challenges, solo and with the legion.
• PvP — fighting the opposing faction, winning Battlegrounds, defeating enemy players.
• Twitch — completing the required weekly AION 2 streaming hours on Twitch.
• War Orders — special challenges issued during the event, each with its own objective, window, required participants, proof and point value.

Points roll up from player to legion to faction. The press release calls these two races, the global Faction War (Elyos vs Asmodians) and the Top Legion. Repeatable activities have scoring caps that reset each competition week, while one-time milestones do not reset. Normal Progression, PvE and PvP scoring needs no submissions or stream monitoring. Manual checks apply only to War Orders that ask for proof, such as a Twitch VOD or clip, a timestamp, a screenshot or character information. The fair-play rule allows strategy, including targeting opponents, but bans "manufacturing" events just to farm points. The conduct rule encourages trash talk but bans harassment, doxxing and targeted dogpiling.

Update, October 1, 2026: NC's September 30 notice now lists the drops: eight watch-time tiers from September 30 to October 4 and seven from October 5 to October 16, all for "participating AION 2 Twitch streams". The notice does not mention War for Atreia or name any streamer, so whether the creator event has its own drops is still unstated. Full tables on Global Twitch Drops: every reward and watch time.

Update, October 3, 2026: NC's "Twitch Drops: War For Atreia" notice (October 2) confirms dedicated drops earned only on participating creators' channels: three campaigns (October 2-4, October 7-9, October 12-14), each with four watch-time tiers, including a pet and a Leather Crop Fit. Times are given only for the first; the point threshold that unlocks later campaigns is unpublished. Full tables on War for Atreia Twitch Drops.

Update, October 2, 2026: NC's "War For Atreia" post of September 30, mirrored on the Steam news hub, gives viewers two ways to take part: pick up a Discord role for the team you back in the official AION 2 Discord, and share top creator clips on social media with the tag #WarOfAtreia. NC says its favorite clips may be featured on official social channels, with no guarantee of selection. The post does not mention drops, giveaways or prizes.

The press release promises "exclusive rewards for watching your favorite streamers" and "exclusive follow-up Twitch drops". It also says each "viewer recruited" feeds the two races, but it does not explain how a viewer counts as recruited. No reward is named yet. NC has added a Twitch Drops page to aion2.plaync.com with a "Link Your Twitch Account" button and a Steam option for players on Steam. Its FAQ says drops go to AION 2 Global players only, not Korea or Taiwan accounts. As of September 25 it listed no campaign. That changed on September 30 (see the update below).

There is no sign-up for the event itself: the 60 creators were chosen and drafted. Separately, on September 30, 2026 NC opened applications for a general AION 2 Creator Program on Lurkit, covered on our Creator Program page; its notice does not mention War for Atreia. NC has also not said whether the creators play on ordinary Early Access and launch servers or on something set aside for the event. The site describes itself as showing "live standings", but no standings table is visible yet, which makes sense before September 30.

Creators who want in on future events can read the details in NC's September 30 Creator Program notice, summarized here.

If you are picking a faction partly to follow a creator, your first real choice comes on September 30 for Founder's Pack holders, or on October 5 for everyone else. The legions are split by region, so the creators on your side depend on which region's servers you play on.

Update, October 16, 2026: warforatreia.com now shows the event as concluded, with a "Thank you, Warriors of Atreia" message and final standings. The page lists the final faction score as Asmodian 8,781 and Elyos 8,169. The Asmodian total is broken down as Progression 2,060, PvE 2,315, PvP 712, Twitch 1,405, War Orders 1,764 and Wildcards 525. The page shows no category breakdown for Elyos. We have only the event site for these numbers; we did not find a separate NC notice or a finals recap on the official channels, so treat them as single-sourced.

• 1. Stoopzz (Asmodian, North America): 3,562
• 2. Sonii (Elyos, North America): 3,556
• 3. Wakayashi (Asmodian, Europe): 3,004
• 4. Baggins (Elyos, Europe): 2,381
• 5. Tixinha (Elyos, Latin America): 2,232
• 6. Rakin (Asmodian, Latin America): 2,215

The page also names three featured top individual players as "Heroes of Atreia": Stoopzz (482), Lipej (478) and youmadsin (408). It publishes no prizes or viewer rewards for the result. For the event's drops, see War for Atreia Twitch Drops.
