hemeroid conquers DM-Edge as Bio Rifle breaks resistance

Nine kills turned the match around, but hemeroid had to fight until 19:45 for the final point.

On September 30, 2026, DM-Edge hosted match 144, a Deathmatch in Normal mode with a straightforward target: reach thirty points. Getting there was anything but straightforward. Over nineteen minutes and forty-five seconds, the lead changed eight times, Bio Rifle challenged rockets, and self-inflicted explosions took points away when players needed them most. hemeroid, Jano, trajbalajko, freedie00 and Tarydium produced a match in which even a substantial advantage offered little peace. The eventual winner reached thirty, but that total concealed four suicides and a decidedly uncomfortable chase to the finish.

First blood, a quiet spell and three contenders

trajbalajko claimed first blood at 0:13, eliminating freedie00 with Bio Rifle from six metres. Six seconds later, the same weapon killed trajbalajko himself and removed the point. Jano answered at 0:25 with a Flak Cannon kill on hemeroid. At 0:37, freedie00 suffered a death labelled CampKiller and recorded as a suicide. His final account showed minus one point, no kills and no damage dealt; turning that record into a heroic opening would require quite an imagination.

hemeroid launched his rocket campaign at 0:49 and 0:55, killing trajbalajko and then Jano to lead 2:1. Jano equalised and moved ahead 3:2 at 1:29. The match's longest silence followed: 51 seconds without another death, ending with Tarydium's kill at 2:20. Tarydium then added a Shock Combo against hemeroid and built an offensive of his own, reaching five points at 3:16 and seven at 4:23. The fifth minute delivered eight kills, but Jano emerged from it with eight points and reached ten at 5:13 while hemeroid had five. The scoreboard looked friendlier to Jano then, although the decisive bill was still waiting to be delivered.

Nine kills and a biological turnaround

At 5:42, hemeroid killed Jano with Bio Rifle and began the longest spree of the match. By 7:25 he had recorded nine kills without a death: eight with Bio Rifle and one with Rocket Launcher. Jano and trajbalajko took turns on the receiving end. At 6:21 hemeroid matched Jano's ten points; sixteen seconds later he had eleven, and at 7:04 he reached twelve. This was a sustained passage rather than a last-second miracle, transforming a five-point deficit into a lead while the main rival found no room to score.

The spree ended at 7:25 with hemeroid's own Bio Rifle death, not a named opponent's intervention: computed lists the ending player as null. A simultaneous kill on Jano and the suicide left thirteen points in the log. trajbalajko was also losing ground: four suicides from 6:41 to 7:27 reduced his score from four to zero. hemeroid kept going, landing four kills on Jano between 9:10 and 9:45 to reach 18:10. Two seconds later Tarydium stopped him with Flak Cannon. Jano still resisted: rockets killed Tarydium at 10:14 and hemeroid three seconds later, earning the Double Kill explicitly confirmed in the log. The second kill left Jano with only fifteen health; the comeback had a spark, but a rather fragile fuse.

The gap shrinks and Bio Rifle decides

Jano gradually recovered ground, while hemeroid relied on further Bio Rifle kills. At 12:22 he used it to eliminate Tarydium from 29.7 metres, the longest recorded kill of the match. There was no fifty-metre sniper tale here: the distance record belonged to the biological weapon. The fourteenth minute matched the eight-kill peak and included mutual kills between the leading pair at 13:13. hemeroid later reached 28 points at 16:15, but his own rocket at 16:51 reduced him to 27. Jano reached 25 at 17:00, reopening the chase.

Tarydium contributed late kills with Link Gun, Sniper Rifle and Bio Rifle; trajbalajko took two quick points against him at 17:45 and 17:50, only for subsequent self-inflicted deaths to erase them. Jano reached 26 at 18:30, then fell to 25 through a rocket suicide three seconds later. The critical moment arrived at 19:13: Jano killed hemeroid with a rocket to close to 26:27. One second later, hemeroid killed Jano with Bio Rifle for 28:26. Flak Cannon added point twenty-nine at 19:29. At 19:44, both Jano and Tarydium lost a point to their own rockets; at 19:45, hemeroid finished with a Bio Rifle kill on trajbalajko. The final 30:25 looks calmer than the last half-minute, when Jano was still just one point behind the eventual winner.
