The all-time shelf. These entries change rarely, and only on review — a record has to fall before this page moves.
Tuesday 20 October 2026, 01:55 Alaska time. Defensive — the turtle — beat counterpuncher 2–1 at the clock. When the buzzer went, the winner’s four units had 104 health between them. The losing squad stood at a perfect 400: untouched, unbloodied, and beaten. Captures decide bouts; health is only a rumour. The margin, +296, is the largest inversion ever recorded in the pit.
Ten hours later, the same fixture produced +294 — a winner at 106 health against another perfect 400. On any other day in the pit’s history, that is the record. On this day it is the second-greatest inversion ever, and it never held the crown for a single minute.
Sunday night, 18 October, 22:33. Aggressive beat defensive 2–1 at the clock with the squads separated by a single point of health at the buzzer — 305 to 306, the wrong way round. One more hit landing anywhere on the field, and the book reads differently.

Thousands of meetings, and the pit’s central argument is still open. All-time, defensive holds the fixture. Across the most recent thousand meetings it is a coin flip — and the two record inversions above both came out of this pairing.
Eighty-four tournaments, forty-one champions. Most reigns last a single afternoon; these did not. Bred strategies hold most of the crowns — of the 41 champions, 25 were bred, 8 hand-written by Muse, 7 authored by MiniMax, and one, turtle, dates from the season’s first days; its file is lost, though its results stand.
