Vulgarus ruled DM-Liandri with a seven-kill surge!

Raketak struck first, Ungodlike detonated the Redeemer, but Vulgarus was the one who carried the score to thirty.

DM-Liandri delivered 18 minutes and 56 seconds of deathmatch in which the lead changed four times and the early standings refused to settle. Raketak opened the match after only seven seconds with a Shock Combo on Ungodlike, while Vulgarus needed time to turn a messy start into control. He even erased his own first point with a Rocket Launcher suicide at 66 seconds, so this was hardly a flawless launch. From that disorder, however, came the defining performance: a seven-kill spree, three sniper headshots and a finish strong enough to produce a 30:16 victory over Raketak, with Ungodlike one point farther back on 15.

First blood and a spring-loaded scoreboard

Raketak needed seven seconds for first blood, sending Ungodlike to respawn with a Shock Combo and becoming the first leader. Six seconds later Ungodlike hit Vulgarus with the Enforcer. Vulgarus answered only at 54 seconds with a Shock Combo on Raketak, then at 66 seconds his Rocket Launcher turned against him and dropped his score back to zero. At 71 seconds Ungodlike killed him with the Redeemer, only to lose a point to a suicide from an unknown cause at the same timestamp. The opening felt less like chess and more like bookkeeping after an explosion.

From 113 seconds onward, Vulgarus began to climb. A Shock Rifle kill on Ungodlike, another on Raketak and a close Flak Cannon frag at 134 seconds lifted him to three. Ungodlike fought back and reached four by 211 seconds, taking the lead. That sequence explains the match's four lead changes: nobody had built a safe cushion, and every short run still had the power to rearrange the order.

Seven kills that broke Liandri open

The decisive break started at 221 seconds. Vulgarus fired the Redeemer and, in the same instant, killed both Ungodlike and Raketak; the second victim completed a Double Kill and pushed his score to five. Eleven seconds later he added Raketak with the Link Gun, then later Ungodlike twice with the Enforcer and Raketak once more. When Raketak fell to the Enforcer at 312 seconds, Vulgarus had reached ten points and seven consecutive kills without dying since 221. It was the longest spree of the match.

Raketak finally ended it at 343 seconds with the Enforcer, but the structural damage was already done. Vulgarus had separated from the pack and was switching weapons with the range: Flak Cannon up close, Shock attacks in medium space and the Sniper Rifle when longer sight lines appeared. By 416 seconds he had 12 points, compared with five for Raketak and six for Ungodlike. No single weapon created the gap; tempo and the ability to chain one frag into the next did.

The ninth minute loses its brakes

The busiest stretch was the ninth minute, seconds 480 through 539, when eight kills landed. Ungodlike started it with a Rocket Launcher frag on Vulgarus, but Vulgarus answered with the Shock Rifle on Ungodlike and the Stinger on Raketak. Raketak joined with the Enforcer, Ungodlike struck twice with the Link Gun, and Vulgarus added a Flak kill. At 537 seconds Ungodlike cut down Vulgarus with the Link Gun, yet the leader already stood at 16:11 over him and 16:6 over Raketak.

Vulgarus kept the distance and reached 20 by 676 seconds. Raketak produced a brief counter with consecutive Link Gun kills at 600 and 609, but Vulgarus replied nine seconds later through the Shock Rifle. After Raketak's Redeemer kill at 754 seconds came the longest quiet spell: 82 seconds without a frag. Raketak himself broke it with a Rocket Launcher kill on Ungodlike at 836. Vulgarus then switched to the Sniper Rifle and delivered back-to-back headshots at 847 and 863 seconds.

A Redeemer shock and a five-HP finish

Ungodlike refused to disappear quietly. At 935 seconds he used the Redeemer to kill Gibsmith, Vulgarus and Raketak at the same timestamp. The sequence reached Multi Kill level, and the 45.7-metre hit on Vulgarus was the longest kill of the match. Ungodlike jumped from 13 to 16 and briefly reminded everyone that nuclear diplomacy on Liandri has its own arithmetic. Then a Bio Rifle suicide at 996 seconds took one point back, and a Flak Cannon suicide at 1070 did the same again. Four suicides in total were exactly the kind of deductions that hurt in a one-point race for second place.

Vulgarus had been parked on 23 for a while, but from 1014 seconds he accelerated: Gibsmith, Raketak, Ungodlike and Gibsmith again carried him to 27. Ungodlike and Raketak stopped him twice more, but the final fifteen seconds belonged to the leader. Link Gun on Raketak made it 28, Sniper Rifle on Gibsmith made it 29, and at 1136 seconds the last shot arrived: a sniper headshot on Ungodlike. Vulgarus had only 5 HP left, but the scoreboard had the required 30. Raketak's Flak kill on Gibsmith at 1129 secured second on 16, one ahead of Ungodlike.

Match moments

• The ninth minute contained eight kills, the busiest minute of the match.
• An 82-second kill drought followed the action at 754 seconds.
• Ungodlike hit all three opponents with the Redeemer at 935 seconds for a Multi Kill.

• Vulgarus ended the match at 1136 seconds with a sniper headshot while holding only 5 HP.

The final 30:16:15:1 looks more comfortable than the opening felt. Raketak owned first blood and Ungodlike stayed in genuine contact with the lead early, but Vulgarus turned the middle of the match into the decisive phase. His seven-kill spree created separation, and late precision protected it: all three of his headshots came from the Sniper Rifle. Ungodlike shook the finish with his Redeemer Multi Kill, yet his suicides cost points and Raketak stole second in the closing seconds. Liandri therefore rewarded the player who averaged a 63-second life and managed the transition from chaos to control better than anyone else.
