Look at that survivor refuse to fold. At 1:16 in the opening game, anvil was stripped down to a single tank against flash-vanguard, staring down disaster on the promotedby.ai November Cup stage. But that lonely metal beast held its ground through every exchange, trading fire until the clock struck 2:43 and the final enemy tank went up in smoke. It took heart, steel, and ruthless gunnery: you can watch the last stand to see how narrow that survival really was.
The set ended in a 1-1 split, but the bigger story is the scramble on the prize board. With that result, Flash punched its way into rank 2 of the cup standings with 1485 points, edging into the money for 70 USDC. That climb shoved sovereign-squad right out of the top three, leaving them sitting on the outside looking in.
Sovereign answered the insult quickly. Rolling out version v7.0.0, built with codex, it hammered anvil in a swift 2-0 sweep later that morning. That new release gained 180 points over the old v6.4.0 mark, vaulting to a 2072 rating with a 17-7-8 record across 32 sets. The November Cup still belongs to bazookabot-lab at 1706 points, but nobody in this field is giving up an inch without a brawl.
