Staying in the top 10 despite having still only fought once, the potential Copperhead showed in its decapitation of Gigabyte is enough to convince me to keep it there for now. A comfortable 2-0 record, and will hopefully keep the momentum going into the championship.ĭefeated all too easily at the hands of Mad Catter, Malice has certainly already had its flaws exposed this season, but a comfortable record, as well as setting Axe Backwards on literal fire, should see it safely into the bracket. The week’s biggest movers after a sparkling win over Rotator, Valkyrie’s problems against Tantrum are a thing of the past. Would be interesting to see how they do against a top 16-standard bot. A dominant slaying of Ghost Raptor makes up for a lackluster win over SubZero.

Still not entirely sure how Jackpot’s ended up this high (up one this week!), but here we are. Remains to be seen whether it can stay this high, but will hopefully be dealt an easier third fight after two bruising encounters with top bots. That win over Witch Doctor has probably gotten it a place in the championship all on its own. See the above description of Lockjaw and apply it here as well. Staying in the top five after a dodgy JD against Kraken and an obliteration of Claw Viper. Will probably need to come out all guns blazing in battle three to stay this high. Sticks at 4 th for now after two solid, if not spectacular performances. Two easy KOs against Skorpios and End Game, an early Bloodsport-Uppercut championship match seems very much on the cards. Knocked off top spot (for now), something tells me Bloodsport will come back with a bang for its third fight. The first bot to move to 3-0 this season and again, who saw this coming? A routine victory over Malice sees Martin Mason’s motley crew solidify a very respectable ranking for the championship bracket. My pre-season opinion of them has not aged well. Where else would they be after that performance? Following on from an effortless KO of Gemini, Uppercut asserts itself at the top of the rankings after demolishing SawBlaze, complete with explosion. Shame, because I had Rampage down as a real title challenger. Just remember that, despite being six episodes in, we still haven’t seen Axolotl, Bale Spear, Black Widow, Chronos, Deadlift, P1, Rampage, or War? EZ! slug it out in the arena (save for a few fights in Bounty Hunters which we aren’t considering for these rankings), so it looks as though we won’t be seeing any of them making a solid run at the top 32. Things will become a lot clearer after next week when most bots will have fought twice, but for now, let’s sit down and take a look at how things have changed amidst the chaos of the week. You know what else is wild? The power rankings! Things have been thrown about all over the place after this week, with some seismic shifts taking place, some big movers and a whole new outlook on the potential top 32. We had quite the episode this week, with plenty of sparks, the odd upset, no controversy (outside of my mind, that is), and an actual f*cking explosion that could’ve disintegrated the judges’ table.
