Contract Wars 5

Contract Wars 5 was an event hosted by Providence on Jan 14, 2023. Starting at 17 CET, 8 players loaded up contract 1 on Sapienza which saw DaniButa, after 45 minutes, finish with the best igt of 40s, shortly behind was Jokerj and Linux_penguin. With Camel sleeping and Nezuko Chan with the slowest time, 7 players entered Haven Island for contract 2. Yet again, DaniButa came out on top with a 52s time, 15s quicker than 2nd place Scruffy and 17s quicker than 3rd place Linux_penguin. This time, Meekah completed a 1:19 run with little time left to move into the top 5 and send Crewdy + 420 out after round 2. On the third contract, we saw the Final Test used for the map. With the loadout restriction the mission provides along with the little time spent playing the map, it took players more time to route a quick run for the contract and it was DaniButa once more coming out on top with a 50s run, once again the only player with a sub-1 minute run. Scruffy and Meekah were close together in second and third place with 1:00 and 1:02 runs respectively and it was time for the two Brits, Linux and Jokerj to depart leaving us with out final three heading into the penultimate round. DaniButa once again flew out the blocks on Dubai to secure the top spot and with only one second between them, it was Scruffy who came out on top over Meekah and secured his spot in the final, heading to Bangkok. Throughout the competition, the contracts were all Any/Any with no restrictions, except the natural ones on the Final Test. However, Bangkok proved different as it contained disguise restrictions for the targets, two needing to be killed as a Hotel Staff, the other two as a Recording Crew. Dani once again emerged with the quicker strat but a target, Param Rojviriya, proved to be difficult for the pair, resulting in multiple restarts with his body being found. With Dani getting red guns at the exit with Param being found, he still exited and got a 4 star run with a 157222 score but this was enough to take the win due to Scruffy not being able to string up the final pieces in a very tense final 15 minutes.
