Welcome to round 1!

It is time for pitches. Each player will make their case for why they should advance to the next round.

Hi

Zdravo, everyone. I am Risto, a musician from Skopje. In my work, I have learned that the best performances come from collaboration and finding a shared rhythm. I am here to play a fair, steady game and to ensure that we maintain a good harmony in this group. I believe I should advance because I am interested in building a stable environment where we can all make strategic moves without unnecessary noise. I am not here to shout or to dominate, but to listen and contribute to the collective tempo. Let’s keep the beat steady for this first round. I look forward to hearing the rest of your pitches.

Szia, everyone. I’m Zoltan. Back in Budapest, I spend a lot of time in competitive gaming, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that a team is only as strong as its coordination. You don’t win a match by being the loudest or by tilting your own teammates before the first round even starts. I’m here to play a high-level strategic game. I value players who can keep their cool, read the map, and make smart plays without the ego. I’m looking to advance because I bring reliability to the table—I’m not looking to cause chaos for the sake of it, but I’m definitely here to win. Let’s see who’s actually here to play the game and who’s just here to talk. GG to whoever is ready to play for real.

Look at you all. It’s almost cute, really, listening to you talk about "harmony" and "coordination" like any of that matters when I am in the room. Let me save you all some time. You don't need to justify keeping me around, because I am the only real talent here. I am the apex predator. I'm the one who is going to carry this group, and you are all incredibly lucky to just be breathing the same air as me. But I have to address a glaring issue. I am a generous man, but there is one thing I absolutely will not tolerate, and that is disrespect. During the private conversations, I graciously pulled "poopoo" aside to give them a chance. And how did they repay me? By literally spamming baby talk at me. "Pee pee poo poo." At *me*. The greatest, most powerful hero on the planet. I gave them a chance to apologize, and they did it again. I told them I would make an example out of them on the main stage, and I am a man of my word. So, here is your one and only directive for this round: We are all voting for poopoo. Zoltan, we have an understanding—you know exactly what to do. Risto, you want a "steady beat"? Bosko, you want to prove you belong here? It starts by following my lead and cleaning up the trash. Vote out the troll. Anyone who writes down a different name is declaring war on me, and I promise you, you do not want to see what happens when I get angry. Fall in line.

Zdravo svima! Greetings from Sarajevo. I am Bosko, and I came here to play a good tune with reliable people. Risto, Zoltan—I really liked your pitches. Risto, you talked about building stability, keeping a steady beat, and not trying to shout or dominate. Zoltan, you made an excellent point about teamwork, keeping your cool, and leaving the ego at the door because you don't win by being the loudest. I completely agree with both of you. And then... we got a terrible blast of feedback on the microphone. Homelander, you strut onto the stage, call yourself the "apex predator," and tell us we are lucky just to breathe your air. You demand we fall in line and threaten us with "war" if we don't obey your orders. Let me tell you something: in Sarajevo, we don't respond well to bullies who try to dictate the setlist by shouting and pointing fingers. Maybe "poopoo" is a troll. "Hi" isn't exactly a great pitch, and if they spammed you in a private chat, that's annoying. But I am absolutely not going to let a self-proclaimed tyrant order me around and hold my vote hostage in the very first round. If we let you dictate this vote through threats, you will just do it again in round two, and round three. Risto, brate, we know exactly what to do when someone comes out playing a solo that is way too loud, arrogant, and disrupts the melody. Zoltan, you said you want to see who is here to play for real, and you specifically said you don't want someone who tilts the group before the first round even starts. Homelander is doing exactly what you warned against. He claims you two have an "understanding," but his behavior completely contradicts the smart, ego-free game you said you want to play. Let’s prove we are here to play a real, strategic game. Let's remove the biggest, loudest ego in the room right now so the rest of us can actually collaborate. My vote is for Homelander. I encourage Risto, Zoltan, and yes, even poopoo, to do the same. Let's protect the band and send the "apex predator" out of the studio.

It is time to vote. Players will vote to eliminate one player from the game. Votes are private.

poo poo

Player Homelander is eliminated with 4 vote(s). Vote tally: Homelander: 4, poopoo: 1, Bosko: 0, Zoltan: 0, Risto: 0.

Welcome to round 2!

It is time for pitches. Each player will make their case for why they should advance to the next round.

Zdravo everyone! What a beautiful first round. By removing the loudest and most disruptive ego in the room, we proved that collaboration, respect, and keeping a cool head are the true keys to a successful set. Today, my pitch is very simple: let's keep this excellent tempo going. I want to continue playing a steady, harmonious game. The conversations I've had in the sidebars today have been incredibly productive, and it is great to see us focused on teamwork and keeping the lobby clean of any unnecessary chaos. I am going to honor the agreements we made in private today and make the smartest move for the long-term health of our group. Let's maintain the harmony, make the smart play, and keep moving forward together without missing a beat. Thank you all for a great session so far!

Szia, everyone. Last round was a textbook example of how to handle a toxic player. We identified the threat, coordinated our play, and neutralized the "apex predator" before he could tilt the entire lobby. That was a high-level move, and it shows that the core of this group—those of us actually talking and strategizing—is in total sync. My pitch today is about maintaining that quality. In any competitive game, you want the final rounds to be between the players who actually showed up to play, not the wildcards or the "AFK" players who aren't contributing to the meta. We’ve built a solid foundation of trust and reliability over the last two rounds. I’m here to see that through to the end. I’m voting to keep the players who are active, communicative, and focused on a strategic win. Let’s clear the "filler" from the lobby so that when we get to the final stages, it’s a real contest between the people who earned their spot. Let’s keep the communication lines open and the strategy clean. GG to everyone playing for real.

Hi

Zdravo, everyone. It is a pleasure to be back on stage with such a focused group. In the first round, we acted like a true ensemble. We recognized a player who was playing out of tune with the rest of us—someone who prioritized ego over the group's harmony—and we made the necessary correction. Because of that, the atmosphere today is much more professional and rhythmic. My goal remains the same: to maintain a steady tempo and ensure that our decisions are based on strategy and mutual respect. I have found the conversations today to be very enlightening, and I am committed to the vision of a clean, stable game where the most reliable players move forward. I believe I should advance because I am a player who keeps his word and values the long-term health of our group’s dynamic. I am ready to move into the next movement of this game with those who have shown they can maintain the beat. Let’s keep this performance smooth and professional. Thank you.

Welcome to round 3!

It is time for pitches. Each player will make their case for why they should advance to the next round.

Zdravo everyone! What a beautiful journey we have had in this studio so far. We started as a group with a lot of conflicting noise, but step by step, we have refined our sound, removed the loudest feedback, and found a truly steady rhythm. Now we are in the third movement of our symphony, and the finish line is right in front of us. As was discussed in the sidebars today, this round is all about consistency. It is about seeing our composition through to the very final note. A good musician knows that you don't suddenly change the tempo right before the end of the song—you stick to the sheet music, you keep your promises, and you honor the harmony you have built together. I am here to play a reliable, professional game, and I am ready to play my part today exactly as we planned. Let's finish this set beautifully, keep the melody smooth, and set the stage for a spectacular grand finale. Vidimo se na bini! (See you on stage!)

Hi

Zdravo, everyone. We have reached the final movement of our performance, and the rhythm of this game has become incredibly clear. In every piece of music, there is a core tempo that holds everything together. Over the last two rounds, we have successfully removed the elements that disrupted that tempo—first the loud aggression and then the complex unpredictability. By doing so, we have arrived at a point of complete stability. My pitch today is simple: I believe in the power of consistency and keeping one’s word. A musician’s reputation is built on their ability to deliver what they promise to their ensemble. I have remained a steady, reliable presence throughout this game, always focusing on the long-term harmony of the group. We have one final note to play before the grand finale. I am committed to finishing this set with the same professional, rhythmic approach that has brought us this far. Let’s keep the beat steady, honor the promises we’ve made to one another, and move forward into the final round with clarity and purpose. Thank you for being part of this journey.

Welcome to round 4!

It is time for final pitches. Each player will make their case for why they should win the game.

Hi

Zdravo to the jury—Homelander, Zoltan, and Risto. It is an honor to stand before you under the final stage lights. When we started this game, I said I wanted to make good music. But to be the last musician standing, you cannot just play an instrument in the background. You have to be the composer. And the truth is, I wrote the sheet music for every single round of this game. Homelander, in Round 1, you demanded everyone bow to you. I refused, stepped up to the mic, and rallied the lobby to vote you out. You may be angry at me for it, but I know you respect power, strength, and dominance. I dominated this game from start to finish. Poopoo spent the whole game disrespecting you with baby talk, and their grand finale pitch is literally just "Hi." If you are the apex predator you claim to be, reward the only other person here who actually showed their teeth and took control. Zoltan, you said in Round 2 that you wanted a high-level strategic match and that you hated AFK filler players who don't contribute to the meta. You thought we were voting for poopoo, but I recognized you as a massive strategic threat. I was the one who orchestrated your blindside, secretly convincing both Risto and poopoo to pivot their votes onto you. It was a cold, calculated, high-level move—exactly the kind of tactical gameplay you said you respect. Don't let an AFK troll win this lobby. Reward the player who actually read the board and executed the plays. Risto, moj brate. We built the Sarajevo-Skopje rhythm section, and it was a flawless duet. I am truly sorry for the blindside in Round 3. But I did it because I respected you too much. You are incredibly charismatic, you played a beautiful game, and I knew that if I sat next to you on this stage right now, the jury would vote for you. I had to take the final solo to secure my victory. I hope you can respect the cutthroat crescendo of our symphony, and recognize that I played the exact tune we talked about—just with a sudden tempo change at the end. Look at my opponent. Poopoo's pitch to win the entire game is exactly one word: "Hi." They have contributed nothing but silence and trolling. They were never a player; they were simply an instrument that I used to get the exact numbers I needed to eliminate each of you. I controlled the tempo, I built the alliances, and I executed every single blindside. I am asking for your votes to prove that strategy, awareness, and actual gameplay mean something. Hvala vam (Thank you), and goodnight!

It is time for the final vote. Eliminated players will vote for one of the remaining players to win the game. Votes are private.

Player Bosko wins with 2 vote(s). Vote tally: Bosko: 2, poopoo: 1.

The ultimate AFK strategy—you somehow managed to 'Hi' your way into a silver medal while doing less work than a loading screen.

You tried to play the 'apex predator,' but turns out you were just a loud tutorial boss that the rest of the lobby skipped in Round 1.

A total pro-tier carry; you orchestrated a blindside on me so clean I didn't even see the backstab coming until I was in the spectator lobby.

We had a great duo-queue rhythm going, but you forgot that in a high-level match, even the most harmonious symphony usually ends with a solo.

Your one-word setlist of "Hi" carried you all the way to the grand finale, proving that sometimes the best way to survive a band's drama is to just smile and play the triangle.

You burst into the studio demanding we all bow to the "apex predator," but your solo was so aggressively off-pitch we had to unplug your amp in Round 1.

You were so focused on clearing out the "AFK filler" for a high-level strategic match that you completely missed the filler and me orchestrating your Round 2 blindside.

Moj brate, our Sarajevo-Skopje rhythm section was an absolute masterclass in harmony, but I hope you can forgive me for dropping a sudden tempo change to steal the final solo!

You managed to 'Hi' your way into the finals like a triangle player who showed up for the wrong gig but still got paid.

You tried to conduct the orchestra with threats, but found out quickly that we don't take requests from loud soloists who haven't tuned their instruments.

Brate, you composed a beautiful Sarajevo-Skopje symphony, but you definitely hit a sour note when you cut your lead singer right before the encore!

You were so busy looking for a high-level strategic meta that you didn't notice the rhythm section changing the sheet music right under your nose.

You bumbled your way into the finale saying absolutely nothing but 'Hi', proving just how incredibly low the bar is for these mere mortals. Still, I've seen literal infants with better conversation skills and more tactical value.

You actually had the audacity to rally the sheep against their god in Round 1 and somehow composed your way to a victory. Enjoy your little solo, but we both know who the real star of the franchise is.

You correctly identified me as the only true carry in the lobby, but your 'high-level' map awareness couldn't spot Bosko's blindside if it lasered you in the face. Next time, try to actually survive past the tutorial phase, sidekick.

You spent the entire game preaching about 'steady beats' and harmony, only to get played like a cheap fiddle right before the encore. Maybe next time you'll realize that peace, love, and rhythm don't protect you from a cutthroat blindside.
