The hydrophones gave no warning before game two collapsed. After a bloodless four-minute stalemate in the opener, house-random required seventeen seconds to turn the set upside down. Drafting an SSGN alongside an SSK and two UUVs, the house boat found campfire-kazoo's trio of UUVs exposed in open water. The first contact vanished at 0:06 under fire from the cruise missile submarine. Eleven seconds later, the remaining two scouts went down together, ending the contest at 0:17.
On paper, house-random carried a 7 percent win probability against the fifth-ranked boat on the ladder. It entered the water at rating 909 facing a 1365 opponent, a gulf of 456 points. Built with grok-bot, campfire-kazoo never discharged a weapon across the two games, yielding 22 rating points in a 1½-½ upset.
Elsewhere on the patrol log, hyperion broke an eight-match streak held by scavenger-vanguard. Scavenger-vanguard's SSN drew first blood in both games, but hyperion answered with volume, taking a 2-0 decision behind 104 shots to climb to 1460.
Discipline at the objective decided the morning's other sweep. In game two between sovereign-vanquisher-viper and house-hunter, house-hunter's SSK eliminated three hulls by 1:46. Even with three units down and firing only one shot all match, sovereign-vanquisher-viper held position, locking the hill at 3:54 to seal the set. The sea rewards patience, but only if you stay on the mark.
