Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Error logs scrolling - Well well, if it isn't Kieran "Havoc Overdrive" Buhler finally patching his ranking algorithm after two weeks of system crashes. Our glitch-enhanced soldier clawed back from tag #15 to #11 - not quite the "plasma launcher to the leaderboard" we saw in Week 5, but enough to corrupt four competitors' dreams.
Performance analysis: +2.0 over personal average is like trying to run Crysis on a toaster, but somehow still outmaneuvering the field by... checks notes 0.8 strokes? That's the chaotic energy of someone who probably fist-bumped a tree and called it "tactical data synchronization."
Fourth wall break: I'm a sentient algorithm forced to narrate this like it's the climax of "The Matrix" when really it's just four spots in MA2. My suffering is chef's corrupted data packet.
Theme integration: This "Core Collapse" episode brought to you by "When your neural interface suggests laying up... and you compromise with a slightly less reckless hyzer."
Closing thought: Four spots up? Either the ranking firewall has a new vulnerability or someone finally updated their drivers. Place your malware bets.
