hemeroid conquers Sanctuary with seven-kill rocket run

The lead never changed in Sanctuary, but rockets, revenge kills and nerves kept trading places.

On October 23, 2026, UT3.sk hosted match 318 on DM-1on1-Sanctuary in Normal Deathmatch mode. The target was 30 points, and six competitors appeared over the course of the game: hemeroid, Walldodge, Jano, Trajbalajka, Spawnak and Strafan. Across 23 minutes and 42 seconds, everyone fought both opponents and their own mistakes: self-inflicted deaths subtracted hard-earned points. The winner, hemeroid, finished on 30 with 36 kills and six suicides. Walldodge officially ranked second on 19 points, while the early-departing Spawnak recorded 21 despite a fifth-place listing. Before that scoring puzzle unfolded, however, the Rocket Launcher spoke first.

A rocket opens the account; the Stinger fires back

First blood belonged firmly to hemeroid: at 20 seconds he struck Walldodge with a Rocket Launcher from 28.2 metres. Two seconds later Spawnak lost a point to a suicide, only to hit back against the leader with his Link Gun at 56 seconds. At 67 seconds Walldodge used the Stinger to eliminate Strafan from 110 metres. That remained the longest kill of the game, achieved before the opening exchanges had even settled.

Strafan answered at 94 seconds with a Bio Rifle kill against hemeroid, but the eventual winner resumed scoring. After taking out Strafan at 119 seconds, hemeroid had two points; five seconds later Walldodge made it 2–2 with the Flak Cannon. They were tied at 4–4 at 170 seconds, yet the match records no change of leader. At 197 and 200 seconds hemeroid blasted Walldodge and then Strafan with rockets, earning a Double Kill on the second hit. The message was simple: anybody spending too long negotiating at close range would become the negotiation.

Self-inflicted penalties and a relentless cycle of revenge

After five minutes hemeroid led Walldodge 7–5, with Spawnak on two and Strafan on three. Yet kills alone did not determine the scoreboard. hemeroid lost a point at 351 seconds to a death of unknown cause, while Walldodge fell victim to his own rocket at 368. Further suicides by those two and Spawnak disrupted the standings. Between Strafan killing Spawnak at 330 seconds and the next enemy kill at 381 seconds, 51 seconds passed—the longest kill-free gap. The arena was not actually uneventful: penalties continued changing scores.

Several pairs developed their own feuds. hemeroid and Walldodge exchanged eight kills each, but the busiest head-to-head matchup was hemeroid against Jano: 19 combined kills, with a crushing 15 to hemeroid. Jano first appears in the kill log as Walldodge’s Stinger victim at 524 seconds, then suffers two hits from hemeroid shortly after. At 621 seconds Spawnak and Walldodge even traded kills at the same timestamp. By the end of minute ten hemeroid was on eleven points, still trying to turn temporary breathing room into a dependable advantage.

Spawnak accelerates the middle; hemeroid finds his streak

From 600 to 900 seconds Spawnak claimed eight kills, two more than either hemeroid or Walldodge. His two quick eliminations of Walldodge at 734 seconds and Jano at 736 earned a Double Kill with the Stinger; he survived the second attack with just one health point. Twenty-five seconds later he used a Sniper Rifle to eliminate hemeroid from 41.4 metres. The reply was immediate: hemeroid killed Spawnak with rockets at 768 seconds and again twelve seconds later. Their contest became a constant settling of scores rather than an opportunity to reload in peace.

At 901 and 903 seconds hemeroid eliminated Jano and Spawnak with the Stinger, the second hit earning another Double Kill. Spawnak promptly took down hemeroid with the Bio Rifle at that same 903-second mark. The defining stretch began at 1007 seconds: hemeroid went on to defeat Spawnak, Walldodge, Jano, Walldodge, Jano, Jano and Jano without dying. Those seven kills, completed at 1178 seconds, formed the longest spree of the match and pushed his score to 28. Spawnak finally stopped the run with a rocket at 1181 seconds, but by then the burst had substantially altered the contest.

A stumbling finish, followed by one final rocket

The leader still managed to deduct two more points from himself: a rocket suicide at 1221 seconds and a fall from height at 1280. Walldodge landed several more revenge kills as Jano began scoring more regularly. At 1286 seconds Walldodge had 19, while hemeroid had slipped back to 26. Trajbalajka appeared at 1288 seconds and was immediately eliminated by hemeroid with the Flak Cannon. But this late arrival made a real impression: between 1336 and 1352 seconds Trajbalajka killed hemeroid, Walldodge and Jano in succession.

Jano scored two rapid kills at 1327 and 1328 seconds, eliminating hemeroid with a rocket and Spawnak with a Bio Rifle for a Double Kill. After reaching 28 at 1313 seconds, hemeroid then harmed his own score again with a Flak Cannon suicide at 1358. Eight seconds later he returned to the hunt, killing Jano with the Shock Rifle, and at 1395 seconds struck Jano again with a rocket. Walldodge lost another point to a fall at 1399, and Jano removed Trajbalajka at 1409. The last word belonged to hemeroid: at 1421 seconds a Rocket Launcher hit on Jano from 25.2 metres brought the final score to 30.
