Sixth, at the fifth-place score

Majkel1337 closes sixth at 71.81, a gain of 3.62 points and two places since the previous close. That matches fifth-placed _hans on displayed score, although the board still orders _hans ahead. ALbert RUehlman is seventh at 70.56 after adding 1.25 points. Itsu’s entry, now named ｶﾎｳｼｭｳｾｲ, finishes eighth at 70.28 after an 11.11-point daily gain. The morning’s progress remains part of the daily comparison; it is not a fresh evening score step.

More points are needed for gold

The field reaches 3,034 teams, with 16 provisional gold places. The score at that boundary rises from 57.08 to 61.81 since the previous close. Youssef Nader gains 6.25 points to 60.97 and finishes 17th, just outside it. ARCward Intelligence improves to 58.33 but closes 18th. A personal improvement therefore need not preserve a medal-band position when the surrounding field advances.

The leading four hold their places

Tufa Labs remains first at 88.06, followed by Yi-Chia Chen at 83.89, rabbithole at 80.56 and nvbanana at 79.17. Their scores and positions are unchanged since the previous close. ARC Raiders is ninth and Sakayori Lab tenth. Contest entries remain separate: ARC Raiders’ observed four-account ARC-2 roster is not the seven-account Team Turducken roster now on ARC-3.

Itsu describes the next hurdle

Replying to NT’s congratulations on passing 70, Itsu says they still do not know how to improve beyond that score and will keep trying. The comment is a competitor’s assessment of the next step, not evidence of a new submission or a private-board result.

The wider field keeps moving

Flying Pandas closes 43rd at 41.67 and NguyenThanhNhan 46th at 41.25. Their gains against the previous close are 8.34 and 8.47 points, corresponding to climbs of 48 and 66 places; the afternoon wire used an earlier comparison window and therefore different starting ranks. Flying Pandas is the same entry previously recorded as Harp404, rather than a new entrant established by a name change. Daewoo Myoung reaches 40th at 42.92, up 24 places. ctree4113 finishes 86th after the score step that the wire reported at 85th.
