Anub1ss Rules CageCarnage from First Shot to Finish

From first blood to point thirty, Anub1ss kept control while Smrtko and Zabijak supplied just enough resistance to keep the cage biting back.

Three minutes and forty-five seconds were enough for DM-CageCarnage-ID in UltraInstagib to produce 56 kills and a very clear pecking order. Anub1ss opened the scoring in the seventh second by dropping Zabijak, and that first blood was more than a neat start: it predicted a match in which the lead never changed hands. Smrtko and Zabijak fought each other for every point and both managed to kill the leader, but Anub1ss built separation almost immediately. In a mode where the Ultra Instagib Rifle punishes with a single hit, the decisive edge was repeatedly finding a target before the target found you.

First shot, first gap

Anub1ss struck Zabijak at 0:07 and added Smrtko eight seconds later. When Smrtko earned his first point against Zabijak at 0:20, Anub1ss answered in that very same second by killing Smrtko and moving to three. By 0:26 he already had four points while the pursuers were still looking for rhythm. Zabijak handed the leader his first death at 0:28, but it did not shake the scoreboard.

From 0:34 to 0:44 came another burst: Anub1ss killed Smrtko, then Zabijak as part of a Double Kill, and two more shots pushed him to eight. Zabijak replied at 0:46 by killing Anub1ss from 40.4 metres, only for an even longer response to arrive five seconds later. Anub1ss hit Zabijak from 49.8 metres, the longest kill of the match. The first minute finished with 14 kills overall, and the leader had already shown he was not interested in slowing the game down.

A six-kill spree, then Smrtko hits the brake

The 49.8-metre shot launched the longest spree of the match. Between 0:51 and 1:27, Anub1ss collected six kills without dying. At 1:05 he started a Double Kill on Zabijak and at 1:08 extended it to a Multi Kill; at 1:16 he added a headshot on Smrtko and by 1:23 his score was already 14. The summary data put Anub1ss at an average life of 28 seconds, compared with nine for Smrtko and eight for Zabijak, a major advantage in a mode this fast.

Smrtko stopped the spree at 1:27. It was an important hit, but not a comeback: Anub1ss was on 14 and scored on Smrtko again four seconds later. By 1:45 he had reached 17. Smrtko still showed plenty of fight, headshotting Zabijak at 1:52 and then adding Anub1ss at 1:55 as the second victim of a Double Kill. The second minute, like the first, contained 14 kills, but the key pattern remained the same: every short burst from a challenger was quickly absorbed by the leader.

Minute three becomes the firefight

The busiest stretch arrived from 2:00 through 2:59, with 17 kills in one minute. Zabijak dropped Smrtko at 2:01, Anub1ss answered with a headshot on Zabijak at 2:03, and Zabijak then hit Smrtko twice before finishing a Double Kill on Anub1ss at 2:10. At that point Zabijak had seven points, exactly level with Smrtko, so the race for second suddenly had sharp edges. The leader, however, was only inconvenienced.

At 2:15 Anub1ss killed Zabijak and Smrtko in the same second, scoring a Double Kill and reaching 20. Smrtko produced his own burst at 2:23, killing Zabijak and then Anub1ss in that same second for a Multi Kill and his tenth point; five seconds later he added Zabijak again. It still did not threaten first place. Anub1ss scored at 2:33, 2:37 and 2:42 to reach 24. Then came the strangest sound in the match: silence. Thirteen seconds passed without a kill, the longest pause, before Anub1ss restarted the counter at 2:55.

No panic at the finish: thirty at 3:44

The final minute was no longer about who led, but whether the chasers could at least shrink the gap. Zabijak killed Smrtko at 2:59 and again at 3:05 to reach ten, only one behind him. Anub1ss stopped Zabijak at 3:08 for point 26. Smrtko answered on Zabijak at 3:11, and Zabijak still managed another kill on Anub1ss at 3:16. That was Zabijak's fourth direct kill on the winner; Anub1ss suffered seven deaths in total from both opponents combined. One second later Smrtko hit Zabijak and the fight for second remained open.

Anub1ss closed without wobbling. Smrtko fell at 3:20, then again at 3:28 and 3:38. In between, Smrtko twice killed Zabijak and completed his own score at 15. The final point belonged to Anub1ss at 3:44 against Zabijak, exactly reaching the 30-point limit. The final 30-15-11 says plenty by itself: 30 kills against only seven deaths, no suicides and zero lead changes. The match ended one second after the decisive shot.

CageCarnage did not deliver a lead change this time, but it delivered constant pressure. Anub1ss turned a fast opening into a margin that grew from advantage to certainty with each passing minute. Smrtko's biggest intervention was ending the six-kill spree and later producing the Multi Kill at 2:23, while Zabijak kept the contest for second alive and finished with the highest average kill distance of the three. Even so, the last line looked like the first chapter: Anub1ss found the target sooner and closed the match at 30-15-11 in the 224th second.
