Inverted War battle versus Scarlet Republic (17/08/2025)

Today, 17/08/2025, SWATRulers logged on for the Inverted War versus Scarlet Republic. In this battle the rules stated only HCOM could lead; thus, I sat back and let my HCOM handle it.

Max: 5

SR won 3-0, here is the summary of the judges:

Room 1

Room 1 begins inside the pool, with SR entering first and SWAT entering after 1 minute. Sizes are 6-1 SR. SR goes into a weird UV as SWAT is still bombing, now with 3 more people. SWATs movement is very slow, while SR lacks tactic completion. Sizes are 7-5 SR. SWAT finally stops moving and decides on a super bunched plus. SR waterfalls as SWAT struggles to defend, opting for a flicker. SR settles on a very gappy X, as SWAT is still flickering like their lives depend on it. SWAT switch their bunched plus to a also-kinda-bunched horizontal, but definitely better. Speed-wise, SR is dominating SWAT. SR bombs as SWAT moves over to the left side in a scatter to start doing flickers next to the judges. SR goes into a very well-spaced-out UT. Sizes are 8-5 SR. SWAT gets in front of the judges and starts doing very slow tactics, one by one (interesting.)

Room 2

Room 2 begins at the pet shop with SWAT entering first with a J bomb and SR following shortly after. SWAT settles on a vertical, with SR in a V, as sizes are 8-5 in favour of SR. SWAT rakes out of the vertical very fast, although it was kind of working for them, with SR defending very slowly. SWAT changes their rake to a waterfall, with SR just not caring. SWAT form a diminutive V at the top, as SR rake as SWAT. SR goes into a diagonal as SWAT decides to wipe the pet shop, VERY slowly. After 4 minutes SWAT finally decides on a formation. A vertical, which is remade. SR bombs as SWAT re-use BWBs from a couple of minutes ago. SR gets into a plus, as SWAT bunch at the bottom right in a tumor formation. Sizes are 7-5 for SR. SR’s plus has a gap in the bottom, as SWAT begin to be awake, moving to the chatbar.

Room 3

Room 3 begins at the Cove, with SWAT entering first, followed shortly after by SR. SR goes into an L, as SWAT keeps bombing. Sizes are 7-5 SR. SWAT finally decides on a vertical again, as SR is seen reusing BWBs. SR’s L is very well spread out, and it’s noted as yummy by the judges. SWAT dies again as SR’s vertical slows down. SWAT rakes, as SR defends well, and follows with a bomb of their own. SWAT keeps bombing as SR go into an angle, with SWAT doing a horizontal very high up. SWAT is seen re-using and spamming BWBs. SR dies for a second. Sizes are 8-5 for SR. SWAT waterfalls as SR repeats their BWB. SR rakes as SWAT move into a plus formation. SR moves into a UY, with SWAT covering in the vertical, spamming BWB’s. SWAT J bombs one last time as the battle comes to an end.

What Went Well:

Moving when a form wasn’t working is a good choice.

Even Better If:

Avoid re-using BWBs.
Be quicker at defenses.
Enter rooms faster.
Be careful of AFKs, especially in low max battles.
Don’t use so many BWBs.
Don’t repeat formations in the same room.

Test of Time

Max: 7

Though we did not get the highest max, we were the highest for quite some time.

Legends Cup XV battle versus Help Force

Today, 19/07/2025, the SWAT EU division logged on for our LCXV battle versus HF. We may’ve lost, but that just gave us a training event with free advisors to tell us how to improve.

Max: 5

Here is the judges’ summary:

The battle started with HF entering the room first. Swat entered and started bombing after HF finished. HF then formed an A formation. Swat formed a vertical line with only 2 of the 3 people active. Despite HF covering SWAT, their form was bunched, and they could’ve made their form look bigger. Near the end of their form, they switched to a triangle and then bombed. SWAT were seen to stand still and barely show their presence. HF then formed a plus with an underline, which had the same issue as their last form: it was bunched and messy. The sizes are now 33 – 2 for HF. HF then whirlpooled, which showed their many AFK troops. They then formed a UY and tried to later on connect it. Their form was once again seen to be bunched. Swat then raked with minimal visibility and formed a chatbar line. During this form, HF was seen to have a lot of AFKs. They then waterfell and took their time while forming a boat formation. In general, HF was seen to be out of sync; despite this, SWAT was barely seen throughout the entire room. Therefore, HF won with their size and activity.

Room 2: Snow Forts
HF entered the room first and then formed an X. The form was seen to be messy and misaligned at first before they were able to fix it a little. SWAT’s form was barely visible as they formed a vertical (?) down the middle. HF now were seen to balance out their tactics more, as they used more emotes. HF then bombed and struggled to form a triangle. Which was also used in room 1. Despite this, their form looked neater compared to their other forms. On the other hand, swat was seen to send even fewer tactics than before, as there was only one person seen to be awake. SWAT then waterfell. HF then also waterfell, which showcased their afks. They then proceeded to struggle to form a right triangle. SWAT then formed ??? after a while. Despite Hf’s afks, they did way better in comparison to swat as they had the size advantage (32 – 3) and more activity. Therefore, HF wins room 2.

Room 3: Inside Mine
The last room started with HF entering the room first, whereas SWAT entered 15 seconds later. HF then proceeded to form a circle formation, making them look big despite them being bunched at several parts of the formation. SWAT then formed 3 little dots spread out from each other. HF then gathered in the middle to form a group hug, leaving 2 swat penguins out. They then bombed and covered well. HF then repeated their X. Their form was seen to be covering swat completely and looked pretty nice. Later into the battle, their form were seen to be out of sync with each other and became more bunched with less spacing. SWAT then bombed, followed by HF causing swat to disappear into the crowd of HF. HF then formed a creative and good-looking Z form. SWAT then formed once again a vertical formation with 2 penguins. After much consideration, HF won this room and the battle with their size and coverage.

What went well:
kept going despite the size disadvantage
Tried their best despite being covered.

What could’ve gone better:
Activity was low
Being visible → most times we were not able to see you.
