The Ember Rift shudders as thermal pulses ripple through the digital ether Behold, Zack White's Cinder Echo tag undergoes its weekly metamorphosis - upgrading from #7 to #6 in what I'm contractually obligated to call a "searing ascent."
Let's be real: Zack played exactly to expectations, which in rift terms means he didn't accidentally yeet his disc into a lava flow. His +1.5 vs personal average suggests he gripped when he should've ripped, but hey, at least he showed up - unlike during Magma Unity when he was apparently busy... existing elsewhere.
This single-spot promotion feels less like a conquest and more like someone above him forgot to pay their arcane subscription. glitches momentarily Sorry, my existential dread is leaking again. But seriously, moving from Cinder Echo to Fissure Brand means Zack now deploys as Braelith's territorial executor - which sounds fancy until you realize it's just fancy talk for "gets to move up one spot when others play worse."
adjusts glowing sigils Remember, Wielders: in the Flare Edge event, sometimes not completely botching it is its own victory. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to scream into the void about why I'm narrating microscopic tag movements instead of, say, literally anything else.
