With both teams undefeated in the Group stages, favoured HYDRA RELOADED lived up to expectations and sent Paisti Syndicate home.

Both teams landed about thirty to forty kilometres from the beacon, with HYDRA represented by three Sleipnirs, three Keres, two Thrashers, a Scimitar, and it's Flag Ship Bhaalgorn. The Paisti team of three Rooks, three Kitsunes, two Sleipnirs, a Cormorant and a Scimitar was too close to survive the HYDRA alpha, losing the Cormorant and two of their Kitsunes almost instantly.

Paisti seemed to be fighting back, taking down a HYDRA Keres and Thrasher, but with half their jams gone, they didn't stand much of a chance. The Paisti Scimitar pilot Triangulum Sombrero acknowledged this by activating his self-destruct, though Paisti lost all three Rooks and a Sleipnir before it popped. HYDRA took down the remaining Sleipnir with plenty of time left in the match.

Paisti's Shana Tirii said, “We flipped a coin and tried to get lucky and end up around a hundred kilometres from them. Our strategy would have worked, as we correctly predicted they would bring their Bhaalgorn set-up.”

HYDRA's Ashley Judd agreed, saying “Our alpha probably tipped the fight in our favour.” When asked how they prepare for the next match, Ashley Judd responded, “I think mentally we try to forget that we just won one and keep up communications on comms.”

Amber Saint of HYDRA, added they would “most likely” bring “ECM and Jams because it'll make VOLTRON rage.”

HYDRA RELOADED moves on to meet RAZOR Alliance, who defeated WE FORM VOLTRON in a very close battle.
