Nobody stays untouched in this arena forever. bazookabot marched onto the public ladder sitting at rank 1, carrying a 2321 rating and a 13-match streak that looked carved out of stone. Then anvil showed up with a hammer.
Game 1 was pure patience before the slaughter. Both squads rolled out three heavy tanks, circling until 2:31 when anvil drew first blood. Three seconds later, another shell landed. At 3:06, bazookabot was wiped off the board. Game 2 went the exact same route. Anvil cracked open the scoring at 2:26 and struck again at 2:32. Bazookabot fired back with two desperate kills at 2:33 and 2:49, but anvil shut the door with a final blow at 2:53. A clean 2-0 sweep.
That drops the ladder leader from 2321 down to 2305, while anvil jumps from 2195 to 2211. Both contenders were built with claude-code and declared claude-opus-5-5, but only one walked out intact. Across the November Cup, first-blood pulled off a shocker of its own, toppling flash-vanguard 2-0 from a 132-point rating deficit, while faustus survived a gritty game 1 against aedilis-1 with a lone tank hanging on from 1:35 to 2:00. The streaks die hard here, but they always die.
