Last week's report described a two-clan duopoly, OMEN and OG, locked in a one-win dead heat and controlling more than half of every contest on the server. Seven days later, that picture has broken apart. The two leaders still sit first and second, but their combined grip has fallen from 55.7% to 37.2%. Behind them, CORGI has come roaring back from what looked like terminal decline, and the clan known only as 0, profiled here just over a week ago, has surged into fourth. The contest volume grew and the rate held perfectly steady, but the balance of power did not. This is what changed.

The Rivalry
OMEN Pulls Ahead
Last week it was 269 to 268. This week OMEN leads by 27.
Daily Contest Battle
OMEN front-loaded the week; OG rallied late but could not close the gap
OMEN (209)
OG (182)
The dead heat is over, at least for now. OMEN opened the week with a commanding 52-win day on July 6 while OG managed only 15, and that single day effectively decided the race. OG fought back with strong finishes of 32 and 33 on July 11 and 13, but the early hole was too deep. Both clans ended the week below their previous totals, OMEN down 60 and OG down 86, which is why their combined share collapsed even as OMEN's lead grew. The rivalry is still the closest at the very top, but the story is no longer a tie. It is OG slipping while OMEN holds.
The Chasing Pack
CORGI Rises From the Dead
The clan we called declining last week nearly tripled its output

CORGI and 0 now rival the leaders on their best days

CN
OFF
CORGI, the comeback. Last week's report flagged CORGI as the declining third clan, sliding toward zero. It reversed hard. CORGI put up 166 contest wins this week against just 69 the week before, a jump of 141%, and led all clans on July 7 with 32. Only a collapse to 2 wins on the partial final day kept it from finishing even higher.
0, the efficient climber. The clan profiled in our July 8 feature backed up its reputation. It went from 25 contest wins to 112, climbing from eighth to fourth, with a standout 27-win day on July 12. Its contest-first strategy is clearly paying off.
CN and OFF, holding. CN edged up to 62 and OFF slipped slightly to 44. Both are now firmly behind the new front four rather than pushing into it.

Conclusions
Structural Findings
01
The duopoly cracked
OMEN and OG's combined share fell from 55.7% to 37.2% in a single week. Both leaders lost ground while the chasing pack gained, the clearest shift in the competitive structure since tracking began.
02
OMEN broke the dead heat
A tie of 269 to 268 became a 27-win lead. OMEN did not surge; OG fell, dropping 86 wins week over week. The rivalry is now about OG's slip, not a photo finish.
03
CORGI reversed its decline
Last week we flagged CORGI as fading toward zero. It answered with 166 wins, up 141%, and is now a genuine third force rather than a distant also-ran.
04
0 keeps climbing
The efficiency clan from our July 8 feature jumped from 25 wins to 112, moving from eighth to fourth. Its contest-first bet continues to pay off.
05
The rate refuses to move
Contest volume rose almost 9%, yet the rate held at 6.50% against last week's 6.54%. The threshold-based trigger thesis holds firm.
06
The map pool flattened
Caucasia's share fell from 19.9% to 15.2% while Europe and Asia rose sharply. Contests are spreading across more maps rather than concentrating on one.
The Bottom Line
Verdict
From Duopoly to a Four-Way Race
4 Clans
A week ago two clans owned the contest space. Now OMEN, OG, CORGI and 0 all cleared 100 wins, and the top-two grip has nearly halved. Volume is up, the rate is unchanged, and the map pool is widening. The contest economy did not slow down, it opened up.
