Roznetka stuns Magnum: final rocket decides on DM-Deck

Seven points behind, then one rocket ahead when no time remained.

On 20 October 2026, the DM-Deck scoreboard eventually settled at Roznetka 30, Magnum 29, Rambajz 23 and Firstblood 21. The Deathmatch Normal target was 30, and the front two arrived there by radically different routes: Magnum spent most of the match holding the lead, while Roznetka kept discovering fresh ways to lose a point and then earn it back. There were 127 legitimate kills, 24 self-inflicted deaths and four changes of leader. The final shot came at second 1690 of a 1691-second match.

First blood, four kills and a slippery setback

Magnum drew first blood at 27 seconds with a Flak Cannon kill on Firstblood. He shot down the same player again at 43 and 53 seconds, building a 3–0 start that looked more like a personal arrangement than an open contest. Roznetka entered at 59 seconds with a Link Gun frag against Rambajz. After further kills at 92, 100 and 124 seconds, Roznetka had four uninterrupted kills and briefly led Magnum 4–3. The hit at 100 seconds had already tied the contest at 3–3.

Then the floor became a more dangerous opponent than any player. Roznetka died in Slime at 130 seconds and lost a point; additional Slime deaths arrived at 175 and 195 seconds. The recorded four-kill spree had no opponent listed as the one who ended it, and the self-inflicted death explains why. Rambajz briefly claimed the top spot while Magnum recovered from his first interruption.

Magnum takes control; Redeemer sends everyone the bill

At 233 seconds, Magnum scored a Sniper Rifle headshot on Roznetka and retook a clear lead. He would finish with all four headshots recorded in the match, including a remarkable 55.3-metre shot at 847 seconds. The early lead gradually became substantial: at 433 seconds the score was Magnum 9, Roznetka 2, a seven-point gap. Even at 1000 seconds Magnum still led Roznetka 19–14. Flak Cannon, rockets and precision shots allowed him to score in several different ways without surrendering overall control.

Other players supplied the fireworks. At 324 seconds, Firstblood struck Rambajz and Magnum with a Redeemer Double Kill but died in the same blast, simultaneously celebrating and paying for the achievement. At 342 seconds Firstblood then hit Rambajz with a Bio Rifle from 60.2 metres, the longest recorded kill. Rambajz staged his own spectacular Redeemer sequence at 873 seconds, killing Roznetka and Firstblood for another Double Kill while also killing himself.

Roznetka refuses to let the gap become permanent

Roznetka had 21 immediate revenge kills in the computed summary; Magnum recorded 11, with Rambajz and Firstblood on seven each. That is a useful portrait of the chase: Roznetka could be knocked down, but the answer often arrived quickly. At 1109, 1121 and 1131 seconds, Roznetka killed Magnum, Rambajz and Magnum again to reach 18 points while Magnum held 20.

At 1306 seconds, a Redeemer Double Kill on Magnum and Rambajz put Roznetka within three points, 22–25. Magnum struck back with Flak Cannon kills at 1350 and 1353 seconds and reached 27 against Roznetka’s 22. After Firstblood killed Magnum at 1372 seconds, the log shows the match’s longest quiet stretch: 53 seconds without a kill, broken at 1425 seconds. Roznetka then died in Slime at 1442 seconds. By now the comeback had to fight both opponents and its own mistakes. The score remained 22–27 and the clock was steadily emptying.

The final rush: a headshot answered by a rocket

Roznetka restarted the attack with a rocket against Firstblood at 1479 seconds. A Redeemer kill on Firstblood at 1505 seconds came with a self-kill, undoing part of the gain, but Flak Cannon at 1509 and Stinger at 1528 pushed Roznetka to 25. After another exchange, Shock Rifle became the crucial tool. Roznetka killed Magnum at 1607 seconds to close to 27–28, then Firstblood at 1619 seconds to make it 28–28.

At 1680 seconds, Roznetka hit Magnum with Flak Cannon from 2.8 metres and went ahead 29–28. It was the first outright lead since the early stages. Magnum responded at 1689 seconds with a Sniper Rifle headshot on Roznetka for 29–29, his fourth headshot and perhaps the match’s cruelest moment of hope. But at 1690 seconds Roznetka landed a Rocket Launcher kill on Magnum. That was point 30, the 30–29 result and the end of a comeback that used every last available second.

Rambajz contributed 13 Flak Cannon kills, while Firstblood owned the spectacular 60.2-metre Bio Rifle hit.
