The final Season 15 Hellmouth Cup series between the
Ft. Worth Piano Tuners
and the
Delaware Corporate Shells
was supposed to be an easy layup for the Shells - an efficient, ruthless, and terrifyingly wealthy collective. The Shells took an early and commanding lead, 3 games to 1, and had mapped out all of the Tuners' strategies, analyzed their noise signature, and prepared the confetti.
Then came Game 6. Facing elimination, the Tuners played nasty, like a cornered rat. The game was an ugly, sprawling mess that defied all logic. As the clock hit zero, the scoreboard flickered: 166-165. The Piano Tuners had won by one single cell. A single pixel of difference between death and Game 7.
The Shells' algorithms crashed under the extreme conditions of Game 6. That left them vulnerable in the Game 7 opening, due to their logic cores rebooting, and, not being one to pass up a shortcut to victory, the Tuners stole Game 7 while the Shells were incapacitated. Their improbable Season 15 postseason run was like a bank robbery where the thieves left the guards napping, walked in the safe, walked out the front door, and left the bank with nothing but a handful of points.
