The Season at Rankar’s Deep—Week Six

[DeJaVu]

Welcome to this week’s Rankar’s Deep Report.

After five weeks, the Class Two division has Calidia Raines and Tyler Boyer 1-2. Anna Hung has the only perfect record in the League and leads the Class Three division. David Sanada and Natalia Burns hold the top two spots in Class Four. The Class Five division sees Susan Belden being chased by Thomas Colby. The Stable Championship is between the Red Jians, the Wyren Claws and the Broken Chains.
Anna Hung and Soren Murphy are our first spotlight match. Murphy had won his last three matches and was climbing the table.
The match started with a few long-range exchanges, each feeling out the other. After that, Hung began getting the better of the combat, using the combination of her Vindicator’s PPC and LRMs to counter Murphy’s sole long-range weapon, his ER PPC. But then, Murphy got in a lucky shot that mangled Hung’s LRM launcher and swung things back to a more even keel. From there, it was fast-moving and quick-shooting until time expired, resulting in a hard-fought draw.
The second match was Wyman Mateo-Tracy Vanberchum. Last week, Vanberchum ejected from her Marauder as an ammo explosion consumed it. After time in the hospital she was back with a new ride. Speculation was rampart until she entered the Deep in a -7K Flashman.
Mateo tried staying away from Vanberchum, using his Paladin’s Mydron Tornado autocannon to chip away the Flashman’s armor. Despite being peppered, the Flashman held up well and began dealing damage in return. After ten minutes of non-stop fighting, Mateo was out of ammo and low on armor. He tried staying away from Vanberchum, but the Sun Runner had his number, crippling the Paladin and winning the match.
