'Vampir' has wrapped up its server shuffling, and the first scramble of March is just around the corner. In this round of matchmaking, the Platinum tier in the general servers has been trimmed down to seven groups, with the remaining pie being snatched up by the Diamond and Gold tiers. Specifically, Diamond has expanded by two to a total of six groups, while Gold has gained one, bringing it to five. Meanwhile, the streamer group has locked in four Platinum groups; it seems hanging onto those Diamond spots after a couple of wins is quite the struggle. I have analysed the match servers and predicted the finalists, so dive into the main text for the details.

General Group Match Predictions

Here is our first look at the Vampir scramble charts. I believe this is the first time the Diamond tier has completely filled a whole page. During the data collection, what really caught my eye were the records of certain clans like Pioneers, Black Knights, and Athena. Many clans finally heard the sweet sound of victory or managed a winning streak for the first time during the last matches of January and the scrambles held throughout February.

To clarify, the 'last match of January' refers to the bouts on January 25th, right after the final scramble of the Blood Race server. It was at this point that clans who had either never tasted victory or had been suspiciously quiet for a while started appearing on the charts again. One really has to wonder, what on earth happened to the established powerhouses back then?

The highlight for the Platinum division is definitely Group 2, where Lilith 3 meets Karp 1. CommanderZ, having enjoyed Vampir in Karp 1, decided to up sticks and move to Lilith 3. Before packing their bags, CommanderZ secured two consecutive wins in the scramble, earning their server a ticket to the Diamond tier. Now, they are effectively facing off against the server they helped promote. A rather cruel twist of fate, isn't it? Let's see which clan in Karp 1 has the mettle to stand up to CommanderZ.

Looking at Platinum Group 6's Blood-Ice Party and Group 7's Death, the old adage 'small but mighty' springs to mind. These clans pushed aside higher-level competition in their home servers to claim the number one spot and have been steadily racking up points in the scrambles. Usually, in Vampir scrambles, it's the clans with the highest levels and cumulative experience that make it to the finals, so seeing relatively lower-level clans come out on top is a rare sight indeed.

Streamer Group Match Predictions

What about the Vampir streamer server groups? There is palpable tension in Platinum groups 1 and 2. The usual scramble regulars, SpartaA and Seoul Special City, have flashing emergency lights on their dashboards. Both clans managed a win in the February 8th scramble, but stumbled to a defeat on the 25th. Consequently, I suspect that a win here will keep them in Platinum, while a loss will likely see them relegated to the Gold tier.

Platinum groups 3 and 4 feature clans that have been stacking points since the January 25th matches, much like the general server groups. Group 3 has two such contenders, though I would bet on 'People Who Suck Blood' given their more extensive trophy cabinet. Damir 3 is a different story; the victor from February 8th, 'Bloody', has left the server, leaving the remaining clans to band together against ROYAL-Mine.
