Ha! I distinctly remember that one @Trucriot one of my first ranked games.
Now you have me wondering what the biggest upset ever was 
A legendary victory, @Lex !
I have claimed victory in my game with @BattleBorn. They played well with a notably big invasion force across the void between our home stars that threw me for a spell, but I took control of both wings of the map early on and kept a steady star lead that was insurmountable towards the end. Thanks for the game.
Grats @Macomber!
That was @panblanco ending a 16-month win streak of the #1 @HULK back in the December 2020 tournament

I just managed to take the win against @MLaZz. It was a tough game. I managed to predict a few big attacks from @MLaZz correctly and my lead in econ helped me pull away after a pretty close game.
Good game @MLaZz

GG to Satirael, was an enjoyable match with some back and forth and appreciate his patience over the first week whilst I was away.
Satirael took first blood and got a nice star lead using his prior 1v1 experience and a pesky warp gate to good effect, I had a small infra advantage but I knew it would be lost over a few cycles unless I could level the star count up.
Fortunately, I got a chance and got some ships in behind his lines and was able to disrupt his economy and logistics pipelines and whilst he fixed that and hunted down the fleets I was able to capture a couple of strategically important stars that gave me more options in attack and defence. With the infrastructure lead it was just a case of holding on to those positions and slowly applying pressure.
Map really interesting, we both probed and prodded on both flanks. I wonder if it would have been better to prioritise one over the other.
GG thanks for the game! You did very well in countering my lead, I still need to get better at spotting open stars behind the front such that I often end up forgetting. Very interesting map, and quite small, definitely made for a fun game.And a well deserved win by to you Necria!
Thank you for the game, and I hope you understand why I didn’t want to draw just yet. Coming up with this plan was the most enjoyable moment of the match after my eco strategy started finally paying off, and I really wanted to see how it ends up. Thank you for the game.
The only thing I have to say about the game, is I should have known there was going to be an issue on Aug 1 when you commented in the Flying Swiss 1v1 FS 6/22 thread after Kwhwwymwn took the win.
Yes, when your opponent invest a lot on economy, you have to take advantage fast enough when they don’t have a lot of ships, because if you don’t you will never be able to overpower them
The other solution is to invest more than them on eco, but for a 1v1 it’s the best way to end in a stalemate
I referenced you, @Kwhwwymwn, not for the tactics, but for the other comments made by @olus2000 in the post.
It was a fun game with a few good twists. It felt quite balanced for the first few turns and then @Karmadrome managed to sneak up on one of my stars - nice move that pushed me to reorder my forces. While I managed to retake the star it slowed me just enough that @Karmadrome was able to start pulling away more steadily.
Congrats @Karmadrome!

Sounds like some good games, well played all around.
Interesting stuff - if the 1v1 World Champion title was decided similar to boxing and @Solfyre was the title holder at the beginning of the month, the title would now have wandered from him to @Lex to @Satirael to @Necria in quick succession. If I was Necria, I’d watch my back in the next 1v1 tournament game 
It was a long and hard battle indeed. @spymort managed to make some early gains, but I took some risks to even out the playing field, and they paid off. Then after about 100 ticks of nothing… I took some more risks and managed to break the stalemate line. Well played @spymort, and I hope to play with you again some time!
Grats to @Lex for becoming only the 4th Legendary 1v1 Player!
