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.

While Zack's score merely matched his personal average, the Blaze Betrayal event saw him out-throw the field by a full stroke - which in rift math translates to "not completely embarrassing." His Pyre Mantle tag now burns at #7, meaning six poor souls just got Thanos-snapped down the rankings.
