The first 'Vampir' battle royale for July has drawn to a close. Two particular quirks caught our eye this time around: first, the servers of Nell and Duncan have collectively rung the victory bells in unison. Duncan, usually a bit of an underdog in terms of battle points, has pulled off a rather cheeky turnaround. Second, there has been some mysterious shuffling of clan names; the match-ups listed initially didn't quite line up with the final results. Let's peel back the layers of these two developments.

First, looking at the Diamond bracket for the Vampir standard servers: The Strange People in Group 1 are on a tear with a nine-game winning streak. They currently hold the titles for both the most wins and the longest winning streak among active clans on standard servers. Their closest rival is the Diamond Group 5 clan, Heaven Strike, with 16 total wins, coming off their third consecutive victory. It will be fascinating to see how their point battle unfolds.Additionally, Tangle World in Group 2 and Contamination in Group 3 have both secured three-game winning streaks.

Group 4's Battle Tribe enjoyed a bit of a lucky break. After a 1-1 record in the June battles, they were likely destined for the Platinum bracket, but were bumped up to Diamond for the matchmaking. They managed to clinch a victory here, and if they can pull off another win in the next round, one would expect them to secure a permanent spot in the Diamond bracket come August.

In the Diamond Group 2, specifically on the Kizaya 1 server, we spotted a name change. The official community match-up table teased a clash between 'Kedeheon - One District - Three District,' yet when the dust settled and the final tally came in, the Two District clan had replaced Kedeheon. It seems the clan has either rebranded or undergone a major restructuring. For context, Two District has previously clocked in three total wins and a two-game streak, so perhaps this is a revival of a long-lost name.

The second chart covers the results for Platinum groups 1 through 5. Here, Vampa in Group 3 and Romantic City in Group 4 have both reached two-game winning streaks. Thanks to their efforts, Poame 2 and Duncan 2 have earned their passage into the Diamond bracket.

The good news for the Duncan server doesn't stop there. In Platinum Group 5, Duncan 3 Sparky S, and in Gold Group 3, Duncan 1 Ambition, both rang the bells of victory, meaning all three servers enjoyed the sweet taste of success. As one of the late-blooming servers in Vampir, Duncan has often struggled in these battles, making this clean sweep quite a rare treat.

Duncan isn't the only one basking in the glow of server-wide success; the Nell server joined in the celebrations, too. Server 1 saw the aforementioned Strange People, while Server 2's Supervisor snatched up points. Finally, We clan on Nell 3 filled in the final square of the bingo card. As this is We clan's second consecutive win, both Nell 1 and Nell 3 are set to be matched into the Diamond bracket for the next Vampir battle.

We also noted a name change in the Platinum 9 bracket. The match-up table had promised a showdown between 'Death - Cold Sam - SA,' but the in-game post-match records listed 'Aqua - Cold Sam - SA.' Aqua took the win, and all signs point to Aqua being the former Death clan. With Death's previous record standing at six total wins with a five-win peak, they are now poised to start building a new legacy under a different banner.

In our last look at the battle royale, we mentioned that most clans expected to participate in the Gold bracket had no prior victory records. True to form, many such clans reached the finals, with Gold groups 1 through 3 winners—The Righteous, Scania, and Ambition—each securing their first-ever win. Gold Group 4's Sensation and Justice both came in with two prior wins, but Justice took the edge this time.

Finally, the results for the Vampir streamer group. In the Diamond bracket, Reaper and Myth emerged victorious. Reaper now sits at 17 wins, making them the most successful clan in the streamer group. While their total win count matches the Strange People from the standard servers, Reaper boasts a superior 12-game winning streak. Myth climbed to a solo second place in the streamer group with 15 wins, aided by the recent stumble of their rivals, Sparta A. In Gold Group 1, Damir 3's match-up table listed 'Gumasa - Wesley - Death Knight,' but Seoul City Hall had taken Gumasa's place by the time the results were finalized.
