Week 2 at a Glance
Week 2 opened with the defending Week 1 champion on the wrong end of the bracket's first major turn. psychastore, unbeaten in the inaugural event, drew Rhaenyra in Round 1 and lost 0–1. Rhaenyra never gave the field another opening.
The champion beat Kheety in the quarterfinal, nikininedoor in the semifinal, and lynxpqp in an all-Marcolian final. lynxpqp reached the title match after a 1–0 quarterfinal win over alanpitanga and a 1–0 semifinal win over TILT_DualNote.
The title match was the first recorded meeting between Rhaenyra and lynxpqp in TILT’s archive. TILT_DualNote and TILT_Zeromioda represented TILT; the event record does not confirm current organizations for either finalist.
Thirteen players registered, ten entered the bracket, and eight games were actually played. FM-PGA, Zemulax, and Ckwyatt420 did not check in and are excluded from competitive standings.

Week 2 Meta Snapshot

TILT Player Performance
TILT_DualNote reached the semifinals with The New Dawn, defeating artcank before losing to runner-up lynxpqp. Played record: 1–1.
TILT_Zeromioda received a Round 1 bye, then exited via an unplayed 0–0 administrative result against nikininedoor. No deck was recorded, and the result is not counted as a gameplay loss in this report.
What Week 3 Changed
One week later, Xavi324 turned the next Gauntlet into a three-win title run, beating lobaobh, Head3968, and artcank without dropping a played game.
The semifinal supplied the strongest thread back into the wider archive: Xavi324 reversed an earlier 0–2 loss to Head3968 from a Prime Major III qualifier. The final against artcank was their first recorded meeting in TILT’s archive, and Xavi324 closed it 1–0.
That result moved the weekly story beyond Rhaenyra’s Week 2 sweep and gave the series a third champion in three editions. The event record does not confirm current organizations for Xavi324 or artcank, so neither finalist is assigned an affiliation.
