Anub1ss Masters Denounced With Hammer and Steady Nerves

Rockets set the pace, the hammer changed the texture, and composure decided a match that refused to settle early.

DM-Denounced produced the kind of Deathmatch in which the scoreboard never felt stable for long. Anub1ss struck first after only 13 seconds, using the Bio Rifle on Jano for the official first blood, but hemeroid answered quickly and turned the opening into a genuine fight for the lead. Across 1,114 seconds the players recorded 88 non-suicide kills, the lead changed four times, and the final winner was still under pressure deep into the last third. Anub1ss eventually created separation not with one miracle shot but through repeated instant revenge kills, weapon variety, and ruthless close-range work with the Impact Hammer.

First blood and the rocket-powered opening

Anub1ss opened at 0:13, killing Jano with the Bio Rifle from 3.2 meters. hemeroid replied at 0:51 with the Rocket Launcher on the same target, followed by the match's longest quiet stretch: 60 seconds without a player kill. At 1:51 hemeroid hit Jano again and took the sole lead. Anub1ss answered with rocket kills on hemeroid at 2:11 and 2:25, first tying and then reclaiming first place.

The opening became a Rocket Launcher duel. hemeroid scored efficiently against Jano, while Anub1ss repeatedly answered him head-to-head. Trajbalajka joined the scoring later and immediately interfered with both leaders. By 4:23 hemeroid had seven points to Anub1ss's six, confirming that the challenge for first place was real.

Denounced accelerates and the lead keeps moving

After the first three minutes produced 2, 1, and 2 player kills, minutes four and five jumped to seven each; minute four is marked as the busiest. hemeroid reached eight points at 4:44, but Anub1ss stayed close through the Flak Cannon, Link Gun, and Stinger. At 6:22 both leaders stood on nine, before a chaotic sequence brought rocket suicides by Jano and hemeroid plus a hemeroid kill on Anub1ss.

Anub1ss then changed his approach. A Sniper Rifle kill on hemeroid at 7:06 took him to ten, followed by another point on Jano. The Impact Hammer became his signature: Jano fell at 8:54 and 9:06, Trajbalajka at 9:50, hemeroid at 9:55, and Trajbalajka again at 10:13. Average life length also reflected the pace: hemeroid lasted 46 seconds, Anub1ss 42, Trajbalajka 36, and Jano 32; Vulgarus spent 165 seconds in the match without a recorded death.

hemeroid closes in, then Jano catches fire

The middle stretch remained open. At 11:15 hemeroid scored a Rocket Launcher Double Kill on Trajbalajka and Anub1ss. Anub1ss still led, but his rocket suicide at 11:22 dropped him from 18 to 17. At 13:48 hemeroid produced the longest kill, hitting Anub1ss with the Bio Rifle from 32.1 meters, far beyond the roughly six-meter averages of most players.

Then Jano erupted. From 14:48 his longest-spree run reached seven kills and lasted until 16:47, when his own Rocket Launcher ended it; no opponent did. He repeatedly hit Anub1ss and also removed hemeroid and Trajbalajka, including a rapid pair at 16:21. Meanwhile hemeroid dragged the main race back to 23:23 at 16:11. With less than two minutes left, everything was open again.

The final hundred seconds belong to Anub1ss

At 23:23, Anub1ss found the extra gear. At 16:50 he killed Trajbalajka with the Bio Rifle and retook sole possession of the lead. A Shock Combo on Jano at 17:29, another on Trajbalajka four seconds later for a Double Kill, then Rocket Launcher kills at 17:56 and 18:06 carried him to 28.

Jano interrupted him at 18:22 with a rocket, but Anub1ss answered in the same second with a Bio Rifle kill on Jano for point 29. Two late Rocket Launcher suicides wrecked hemeroid's chase. At 18:33 Anub1ss closed to 1.1 meters, hit Jano with the Impact Hammer, and ended the Deathmatch at 30:21.

Match moments

• Anub1ss earned first blood after 13 seconds with a Bio Rifle kill on Jano.
• The lead changed four times, with hemeroid repeatedly forcing Anub1ss to respond.
• Minute four was the busiest, producing seven player kills.
• hemeroid landed the longest kill, a 32.1-meter Bio Rifle shot on Anub1ss.
• Jano produced the longest spree with seven kills from 888 to 1007 seconds before a self-inflicted rocket death.
• From the 23:23 tie, Anub1ss scored seven more points and finished the match 30:21.

The 30:21 final score looks easier than the match was. hemeroid was still level at 23:23 at 16:11, but Anub1ss handled the decisive stretch better, mixing Bio Rifle, Shock Combo, Rocket Launcher, and Impact Hammer. His eleven immediate revenge kills show how quickly he answered after dying. Jano produced the night's strangest contrast — a seven-kill spree but only six final points — while Trajbalajka kept punishing both leaders. Denounced delivered disorder, recovery, and a finish with a clear author.
