Risk Grand Prix 2025 – Round 4 (Command Base C1X – 1v1)

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.

Final Results

🏆 Fastest Completion: @Arco – 1:26.69
🥈 Fastest to 70% Territories: @Duxaris – 1:27.13 ✅
🎉 Qualified for the Finals!

I didn’t take the fastest overall time, but I was the fastest player to reach 70 territories, which earned me the final spot in the Risk Grand Prix Finals. Just 0.44 seconds separated me from 1st place—I'll take that kind of split any day.

This round earned me a finalist spot in the Risk Grand Prix 2025!
With a 70% domination time of 1:27.13, I just edged into the final thanks to a razor-thin split and tight execution. While I didn’t post the single fastest time, I got in where it counted.
