Week 4 of the Risk Grand Prix brought us to Command Base C1X, a tight, technical map full of choke points, dead ends, and opportunities to waste time if your routing isn’t precise. This week’s twist? It’s a 1v1 format. Just you, one bot, and the clock.
There’s no hiding, no delaying—just clean splits, strong openings, and the challenge of navigating one of the most frustratingly complex maps in Risk at top speed.
Week 3 of the Risk Grand Prix took a turn into the shadows. Instead of conquering the map, the objective this time was to complete a secret mission, fast. With the map set to Canada and the mode switched to Secret Missions, speedrunners had a new challenge: skip continents, focus on the objective, and eliminate their target as quickly as possible.
Round 4 of the 2025 Risk World Championships brought us to Earth 2209 A.D., with a 70% Domination win condition. The match featured unstable portals, fixed cards, and no bots, setting the stage for a tense and strategic FFA.
A strong +7 bonus secured early put me in a dominant position, and from there it was a matter of smart diplomacy, stack discipline, and waiting for the right moment to strike.
Week 2 of the Risk Grand Prix was a full-blown test of patience and adaptability. The main event map, Mont Saint-Michel, threw everything at us: Zombies, Progressive Cards, Fog, Blizzards, and Unstable Portals.
But this week also featured an alternate map option: Battle for the United States, with slightly different settings. I ran both maps, and the difference was huge.
The stakes are rising as Round 3 of the Risk World Championships 2025 is now in the books. This was a Progressive FFA showdown on the Reverse World map, featuring unstable portals, no alliances, and blizzards shaping the battlefield.
The first week of the Risk Grand Prix has wrapped up, and what a whirlwind it was! The competition was fierce as players raced to complete their runs on the Classic map as fast as possible. Unlike traditional Risk tournaments, this was a pure speedrunning challenge, where every second counted, and strategies were all about maximizing efficiency and minimizing risk.
Round 2 of the 2025 Risk World Championships was a test of survival with the Airship map. Coming off a strong second-place finish in Round 1 with 16 points, I was aiming to build on that success. However, a bad starting position quickly forced me into damage control. Instead of pushing for victory, I had to play defensively, negotiate, and ensure I wasn’t the first player eliminated.

With careful positioning, smart eliminations, and a bit of luck, I secured 2nd place, earning 16 points toward the next round.
