We've finally reached Week 5, the evil week with Despair and Morph, as well as loads of other heinous levels such as Ring Stunts, Ultimate Tree and Quaked Path. Half the competition has been knocked out now, and we're left with less than the top 10 contestants. Before I go into that, everyone needs to
BE AWARE:
There are MULTIPLE MPL/CUS levels THIS WEEK, so recorders pay attention - last week there were numerous playings of the wrong Platform Race mission. Here is what you need to do as the recorder:
On
Platform Race 2, Strategy Climb, Despair & Morph, PAY CLOSE ATTENTION!!! If the runner falls off after activating a moving platform it will be made IMPOSSIBLE to finish. Check what time they hit the startpad after respawning and round DOWN to the nearest second. These levels are marked with CYAN MPLs on the standings sheet.
On
Treacherous Path, Despair & Thief, MAKE SURE to play the NUKELESS version of the level!! This can be found under the customs tab, just like Ground Zero and Platform Race. These levels are marked with a YELLOW CUS on the standings sheet.
Also recall that 10 seconds are to be added to the clock per use of the illegal respawn button.

Now then, on to the good stuff.
Week 4 Recap
9 players are still left standing out of the original 19 - we've knocked out more than half of the beginning pool & broken the Top 10. Here's what went down this week, for all that you missed:
Rozi came out on top (again, solidifying his status as 'pack leader') with a time of
420.81, just .12 away from becoming a memefest. Rozi had a stellar run in which he AVOIDED hitting off the finish sign on Perilous Road.
Frostfire followed close behind, also with an excellent run, but sadly he did NOT AVOID hitting off the finish sign on Perilous Road, winding up with
440.56.
Xedron (471.34) made the podium for the second time in the tournament, the first being Week 1, and again kicked off the runs on Saturday. With minimal errors and two top times, he could be a dangerous contender for the title.
Regislian seems to be improving with the increase in level difficulty, presenting his best run yet this week with a time of
517.57. Despite a rather pathetic fail on Slope Madness, he used a retry to succesfully shave off more than a minute and grab a top time on the level, along with 3 others (Nukesweeper, Treachery & Lightning Ice) to get his first 4 top times of the tournament all in the same week!
J@ckRB also made a move forward, taking 5th place with a time of
546.40, and remaining unperplexed (six times!!!) by a tornado. He also snagged the top time on Gap Aimer at 9.50.
RadiantVibe came skidding in right behind Jack at
552.87, knocking down a solid total despite a slip-ups on Swivel and Slippery Steps (must be those slippery names), perhaps thanks to his 9.26 on Pink-Fold Maze, with which he became the lowest-ranked player to grab a top time this week.
Kalle slid back a little in the table, landing in 7th with
592.74. Even though he had no top times, his ranking would have been quite high if not for errors on the fold-mazes and Crash Course, as well as a combination of GM ping and failures on Beach Party, which cost him nearly two minutes (120) of time.
El Robert clocked in at
689.52.
...and
Eguy became the last man safe at
690.06. Notice the closeness of these two times. Robert was set to pull out the most clutch elimination ever until...
Tue, third-to-last runner to go, saved Eguy from a .54 defeat by scoring
754.78, falling short of Eguy's and Robert's times. Sadly, Tue will be leaving us this week, despite a valiant effort at the slow-and-steady technique, which served him well (times in the +5s range of good runs) until he hit Beach Party and Slip Up, which dismembered him for at least a minute and a half (90) of extra time, which was enough to push him past Eguy's 690.
Lee Zi Xian rounds out the week's standings, (though not far behind) with
773.83 and a good run full of perseverance. A WRR ending to Crash Course, a fall with 6/6 on NeonTech, and a failure to get the checkpoint on Beach Party proved too much, in the end, for some other solid times of his to overcome.
Week's Best: Rozi
Most Top Times: Rozi (6)
Last Man Safe: Eguy
Eliminated: Tue & Lee Zi Xian
Deadliest Level: Beach Party
Thanks to Tue & Lee for solid forgings into the final table, and congratulations to all those who survived. Good luck in Week 5!
