SVS Prep Day One — 2196 Leads, NWO Closes In, HAVOC Beats IDK Because Of Course They Do

By Griff Harpoon · 2026-09-08

State 2196 holds a narrow lead after the first day of SVS preparation, which will surprise no one who looked at the matchup and counted the wallets on the other side. SunfireWolves sits at the top of the alliance board with roughly 443 million points, but NewWorldOrder is right behind them at 440 million, which is close enough to make the next four days interesting and far enough to make today's result meaningless.

BORN2KILL, SpartanHeroes, and TeQuitos round out the top five, all from 2196, which means the enemy holds four of five alliance slots and one of them is barely ahead of an alliance that spent the evening plotting against a panda. NWO should probably feel good about that.

HAVOC sits at sixth with 235 million. IDK is seventh. HAVOC is beating IDK. This will be mentioned exactly once and never brought up again, which is a lie.

On the personal board, DEVIL from SpartanHeroes leads at 35 million. BabyRaistlin, representing HAVOC, holds second at 29 million, followed closely by Strannikk from BORN2KILL at 29 million and HITMAN from NWO at 27 million. SKELETOR rounds out the top five. Three of the top five are from 2196. Two are from 2128. The margin is thin enough that no one should be celebrating and everyone will anyway.

Day two starts tomorrow. Try not to burn anything down before then. —Griff Harpoon, actually reporting.
