This summary for Game One was written by TheOneAndOnlyAtesh. Many thanks for volunteering to put this report together! 
"Joe, why did the chicken cross the flood plain?"
"Why?"
"To get to the STARFISH! HA!"
"Very funny."
"Anyways, to all our wonderful viewers, WELCOME TO THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME! The starfish Championship map makes its appearance for the second season in a row, with each leader having garnered a top two finish in the playoffs and being duly rewarded with this extremely lush and rich, if somewhat controversial, map."
"Indeed, Bob, there has been much debate over these Championship maps in general. Personally, I think their mirrored nature and high quality is a great spectacle worthy of a title game and a just reward for all these leader's exhaustive efforts to make it to the big one."
"Yeah, I don't know about that Joe. Mirrored maps can introduce unexpected imbalances, and the size and lushness of this one in particular exacerbates those issues."
"It cannot be denied, however, that much great care was taken to patch over some of these issues. The capitals, for example, are surprisingly balanced for all combinations of starting techs. For example, with the dreaded Hunting/Mysticism combo there is still a Deer tile in each capital for good growth potential."
"I can certainly say that last season's Championship may have skewed the map perception. While this is still a more builder-oriented field, it is not as extreme as last year, where even the sole low peaceweight Qin was a builder through and through, not to mention having Mansa, Gandhi, and Lizzy. This one is a rather interesting mix of leaders, with less extreme peaceweights and more willingness to bash some skulls here and there."
"Agreed, and I think this is a surprisingly balanced and open-ended setup, where every leader here has a chance. Noteworthy CFCNN pundit Saxo Grammaticus categorized these leaders into "snowball" and "bloat" leaders, with the "snowball" leaders - Ramesses, Louis, Gandhi - in the Western tentacles likely leveraging an early economic shrine, widely believed to be the strongest economic engine in the starfish map, into an unstoppable tech lead, and the "bloat" leaders in the Eastern tentacles - Zara, Victoria, Joao - aiming for the crown through expansion and sheer quantity."
"Couldn't agree more with that, Bob. With the leaders, we'll start North and go clockwise from there. Directly North is... the Pharaoh RAMESSES OF EGYPT, who is beginning to establish himself as one of the best pure culturemongers in AI Survivor. While he had skated on some VERY thin ice to qualify for this game, often teetering on the edge of military disaster with some brazen cultural gambits, he ultimately ended up going uncalled and has ultimately dispelled any notion that he is a playoff choker; his Season 8 playoff embarrassment feels like an afterthought now. He has yet to convert the general audience to his cause, but the inner circles of AI Survivor have been singing his praises for quite a while. One huge advantage the Pharaoh has is the power of Industrious Stonehenge, which grants him a free Obelisk in every city which can lead to an ultra quick shrine, giving him most of the momentum for spreading his religion. Fret not about Egypt's World Cup exit, for being Ramesses feels like having AI Survivor's version of Messi on your team!"
"Yes, Ramesses looks absolutely formidable here. To his East is... ZARA YAQOB OF ETHIOPIA, making his first Championship Game appearance since his SEASON ONE SILVER MEDAL! After yet another embarrassing Season 7 exit that led to the dismissal of the mercurial Haile Sellasie as Head Coach, Ethiopia has been on the rise under the steady leadership of Ezana. We have some nice East Africa representation here, but Zara took quite a different path than Ramesses here, making the big game off of two excellent performances that happened to get overshadowed by another leader's brilliance. While Zara is a fanatic, his path to glory here seems to be predicated on expansion and size, as he does not have good starting techs or tech preferences for an early religion - Discord analyst aetryn identified him as the leader least likely to get one of the first three religions. Can a leader known for being good, not great, finally reach true greatness?"
"Next is VICTORIA OF ENGLAND, affectionately and derisively known as the Chungus. Vicky has been a fan favorite this season, having made it to the Championship Game off of two shocking upsets in games she had been totally written off of. Especially noteworthy was her playoff game, where despite being a centrally located high peaceweight leader, she absolutely shocked everyone with a Turn 270 TRIPLE KILL Domination victory, one of the most brutal games ever witnessed in AI Survivor history. Of course, Alternate Histories ended up showing that game to be a total fluke, and don't let recency bias fool you; every single one of Vicky's successes have been proven somewhat questionable when put under further scrutiny, and there have been calls to investigate England for doping. Nevertheless, her starting techs and traits look like an excellent combination for this map and this has to be a good setup for Lizzy to pass over her crown to her fellow English queen. The sun never sets, after all!"
"After Vicky is... JOAO, also known as J-Man, the Patron Saint of Mediocrities, Joao Joao, Sir Fingernail, and, after his Opening Round, Sparky Sparky Boom Man. Joao's tale this season is much like Zara's, having played two winning caliber performances, only to come up short to another leader's brilliance. Particularly tragic was his opener, where he watched as his Spaceship blew up while Vicky had leveraged the Financial/Alive cheat code to catch up and come up victorious. Gotta say though, this is a fantastic map for his traits. Can Joao take advantage of extremely favorable diplomacy to pull off a shocker?"
"Following Joao is the sole leader from last season's Championship, perhaps the most polarizing leader in Civ4... MAHATMA GANDHI! In his free time, Gandhi is our loyal cameraman, but in AI Survivor, Gandhi is perhaps the biggest culturephile in the game, and, much like Ramesses, he won through two uncalled cultural gambits and should be a favorite due to his propensity towards an early religion."
"You know, Gandhi is why we have advanced security for this game, as one wrong move and you would have a massive riot between his supporters and haters. He's lucky that the last leader in the field exists to draw some attention, as his diplomatic situation is tenuous. Rounding out the field is... THE SUN KING, Louis XIV of France, and the sole hope for a multi-champion in AI Survivor. The Season 7 champion had pulled a cultural win out of thin air in his opener, but he is only here as he was lucky enough to be the only leader not steamrolled by a very angry Chungus in his playoff game. The similarities to Qin are uncanny: backdooring off of an English leader's snowball, the sole low peaceweight, and a strategy more oriented towards building, even if he's a lot more aggressive. Can this guy pull off an upset from a sketchy diplomatic position?"
"Here is Dianna with an overview!"
"Thanks, Bob. Due to recency and Financial bias, Vicky is a strong picking contest favorite to take home the title, taking home nearly half of the vote. The only other leaders with any sort of relevant support are Gandhi and Ramesses. As is often the case in these mirrored map setups, 2nd place looks like a total tossup, while Louis and Gandhi unsurprisingly have most of the share of the First To Die vote. Fantasy wise, while ABC170, or he who possesses one thousand nicknames, had cemented his victory after the third playoff game, there is a neck-and-neck race for second place between Lobster667 and Vincarius, who carry Vicky and Joao in the Championship respectively. Lobster currently has a one point lead for the Fantasy Silver Medal."
"Well, the English crowd is not too happy. Mike from AI-BC Sports just picked Victoria as the winner. Considering the picking contest also favors her, that's two curses she has to contend with!"
"Oh dear, the WANKER WANKER WANKER chants are booming. After the break, we will kick off with the Season 9 AI Survivor Championship! This is Joe and Bob at AISPN!"
(Gordon Ramsey knocks on your door. The AI Survivor Season 9 Championship is about to start and you are cooking steak. What are you thinking? Brought to you by Uber Eats!)
"Looks like Gandhi is the only leader pursuing religion out the gate, with the other five putting more emphasis on the food techs they'll need. It's a lot, actually, Hunting, Fishing, Agriculture, and Animal Husbandry are pretty essential for these starts."
"Sounds a bit slower for Gandhi and his Mining/Myst combo."
"True, but at least he'll have good hammers for settlers. Every capital has hill sheep, and many potential second cities have hill pigs."
"You know what they say about having all that pig iron."
"Well, sheep iron in this case. Don't pull wool over my eyes! In all seriousness, this is especially good for Joao and Vicky, who have Mining/Fishing starting techs and have immediate Imperialistic hammers to work with. It's a major reason why many favor Vicky and/or see Joao as a dark horse."
"Well, Gandhi founds Hinduism in Bombay, and with Ramesses and Louis opting for Animal Husbandry, the second religion is up for grabs!"
"Good spot for a holy city, especially if Gandhi goes Sailing or uses a Philosophical Stonehenge Great Prophet for an early shrine."
"Heh, everyone wants Animal Husbandry."
"Well, we have major news! RAMESSES has followed up Animal Husbandry with a Meditation beeline! The Egyptian fans are liking that. Will the French contest that elusive second religion?"
"ARCHERY? Are we sure we did not accidentally put Ragnar in?"
"Well, that seals it, Ramesses is going to get the second religion, and he's possibly the worst rival for Gandhi."
"Woah, the barbs are early and active here. Cherokee has already sprouted between Zara and Ramesses, and it's only Turn 26."
"I'd certainly like to see this map with Raging Barbarians. We all remember what the barbs did to Mansa Musa last season."
"And Ramesses chooses... Judaism! Good choice, due to programming quirks Judaism is the best spreading religion. Ramesses is really letting his people go, there will be no plagues of Egypt this time!"
"Wow, he's nabbing an ULTRA early Stonehenge too! Ramesses is doing precisely what the pundits said he needed to do."
"Judaism even hit the one in four chance to sprout in Heliopolis, closer to the center of the map. Do the AI Survivor gods want Ramesses to win?"
"Elsewhere, Joao and Vicky seem to be having similar games, leveraging Imperialistic to have the fastest expansion rates. On a map filled with high quality city locations, that is a good thing."
"Lucky Vicky, nearly losing Hastings to the barbarians."
"Barbs are no joke here. In fact the map is so large, we might see barb Spearmen become relevant."
"Don't forget Louis either. Gandhi has been favoring safe backline settles, and the French are more than happy to take advantage, going towards the center. If India is not careful they will get boxed in by Creative culture."
"JOAO? WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
"I'm right here next to you, Bob!"
"No, Joe, look at the Portuguese leader, he just beelined Iron Working, and now is stuck on a 21 turn research without any economic techs! He lacks Mysticism, The Wheel, AND Sailing! That is an epic disaster, you cannot afford such a slow early game on this map."
"Just like in the World Cup, Portugal always disappoints. Joao's game has blown up more than a spaceship ever could."
"And look at the graphs, he's at Observer civ levels."
"You know, Gandhi's had an atrocious opening."
"Couldn't agree more. He's playing like the haters are getting to him, not expanding particularly well, and having difficulty balancing growth and teching. That Temple of Artemis build in the coastal backwater town of Vijayanagara is BRUTAL too, that's 25% of his empire not contributing meaningfully to his game."
"Oh no, Gandhi's gotten an awful peaceweight roll for this game! Ramesses, at merely -2, is already Annoyed with him."
"With that, here's a general overview from Dianna!"
"Thanks Bob. Sources are already declaring that Ramesses has won, and it is not difficult to see why, as he has gotten a best case scenario opening while his competition has looked extremely sluggish to start. Victoria, the community favorite, has been particularly disappointing, as she has not been leveraging her Imperialistic trait to the full extent she needs to. While Louis has been a lot better from an expansion point, it doesn't look like enough to overcome his sketchy diplomatic position. Meanwhile, Zara Yaqob just looks happy to be in this game. At least they are not Gandhi and Joao, who evidently are having the worst openings, Joao from an economic standpoint and Gandhi from a development one. Joao's 21 turn Iron Working research has indeed ruined his game, while Gandhi has had difficulty connecting his food resources, expanding, and even teching, and his diplomatic situation is extremely precarious. The crowd, mostly anti-Gandhi, is loving this."
"And now a Turn 55 Shrine from Ramesses. This world is going kosher very quickly."
"In other news, Vicky is playing with serious fire, sending out her settler to the unknown with just a Warrior as an escort. Those are some high quality cities, especially longterm, but oof, despite it being so early I'm having a hard time imagining anyone other than Egypt winning. The English have also avoided Mysticism, affecting their city quality."
"Louis has been a pleasant surprise, actually. He's doing the best he can to remind everyone that he's a former champion. I legitimately think he's having the best opening of every non-Egyptian leader."
"Great time for a commercial break! This is Joe and Bob at AI-SPN!"
(Trailer for a behind the scenes documentary about ABC170's Fantasy journey)
"This is the AI Survivor Season 9 Championship Game at AI-SPN!"
"Judaism spreads to Louis. Yet another huge break for the Egyptians, and a disaster for the Indians."
"Ramesses is also going to bury Monotheism. That's a solid move for him, ideally he squashes any shot of having another religious rival. The template is clear: let the rest of the world gang up on India while he runs away in tech, precisely the same way he won his playoff game."
"Barb spears are starting to show up. Looks like our cameraman doesn't need Bronze Working for us to start seeing them."
"Bob, did you know, when he is not pulling beating hearts out of virgins, Monty likes to pursue amateur videography - does not need Bronze Working for us to start seeing them."
"He's been a fine cameraman, with both our normal ones - Mahatma and Zara - currently in the starfish."
"Gandhi's just cursed this game, that barb spear sprouted near his lands and is now causing trouble, pillaging his improvements and further hampering his expansion."
"And it was one turn from taking one of his cities!"
"Thankfully, Gandhi was about to finish an Archer and should ward it off. But man, nothing is going his way at all."
"Joe, your namesake is finally on the Wheel. It's Turn 75 - too little, too late."
"He's expanding well, I suppose. But his slider has been running at 20%. It's just not happening."
"Well, we have a race for the Great Lighthouse, which many believe to be a strong wonder here due to the high number of potential coastal cities on this map! It's Louis and Vicky competing for it. Vicky has been recovering nicely from her slow start, and the Great Lighthouse will certainly bring her back into the game. Don't count out Louis either, he currently has the score lead by a good margin, higher than even Ramesses, and the Great Lighthouse would be instrumental in giving us our first ever repeat champion."
"Not so sure about that, Louis actually only has one coastal city outside his capital. In fact, I would say the Great Lighthouse overall is pretty overvalued on this map, I think, for example, getting to Monarchy for Hereditary Rule is a lot more impactful. And look, the Egyptians get the Great Lighthouse."
"Wow, this has been a theme this season, everyone is so focused on the rest of the world, then Ramesses swoops in and rugpulls everyone. The rich get richer. He already has twice the research rate of the next best leader and is also going Monarchy next. Legendary beat writer Eaxups I. Fourgott explicitly identified Monarchy as the biggest powerspiking tech in a large and rich map such as this one."
"Good timing! Look at this Real Poverty Point from Fourgott:"
Eauxps_I_Fourgott: Ramesses going Monarchy already is a big deal. Based on my AH runs last season, early Hereditary Rule happiness matters a LOT on this map.
"Well, Buddhism is the Monotheism religion of this game, and it sprouts up in Byblos, Ramesses' easternmost city. The one risk for Ramesses is if it spreads to -"
"Vicky! She has already converted to Buddhism!"
"Wow! Time will tell which leader got unlucky as a result. Probably Vicky, I think Sulla has really cursed her this time. She has been boxed out of the jungle by Zara and is one of the lowest leaders in score."
"At least she's not Joao, who is taking 17 turns to research Pottery on Turn 87 and is breaking even at a paltry three beakers!"
"The Portuguese really should not have brought Ronaldo to this game."
"Vicky going Buddhism looks like a potential disaster waiting to happen. Both Zara and Joao have gone kosher, and she, like Gandhi, is now religiously isolated from the rest of the world."
"Well, it is no longer all quiet on the Western front. If you thought this was going to be the peaceful lovefest that was Season 8, you were wrong. We have just received word that the Sun King has declared war on Gandhi, sending a large force of Axes and Swords to seize the jungle city of Bangalore!"
"Turn 105! Quite early, especially for this map! This is a high risk, high reward move for Louis, who has a large army but no Catapults. And stalemated early wars are particularly disastrous on this map."
"Bangalore immediately falls. And with that, I think it's a good time for a commercial break? This is Joe and Bob at AI-SPN!"
(Trailer for the documentary "The Making of Smart Random.Org: The Mechanical Turk of AI Survivor")
"After the cutoff Bangalore falls, Louis proceeded on to Madras, and now the French and Indian War has stalemated. Pretty bad for both sides. If you are not rooting for the Egyptians, the English, who have recovered nicely to claw to 3rd place, are your best hope now."
"Yes I think Vicky is looking very strong, and can certainly challenge Ramesses, barring, say, something like Zara and Joao deciding to tag team her."
"Well, Joe..."
"Wow. That random Monotheism religion spread really was a poison pill. Poor Mike, he is just raising his hands in exasperation now. Based on the voices of the crowd, I'm not so sure he can step foot in England right now."
"So you think Ramesses will win by Culture now?"
"Not necessarily. The large nature of this map means even cultural leaders might prefer to win by spaceship. The religions are also somewhat split, for example Vicky took the Code of Laws religion away."
"Well, maybe a Ramesses Domination win is in the cards. He's marching a gigantic Elepult army past Louis' territory!"
"This is no Egypt tech in a corner game, Ramesses is out for blood, ready to yeet Gandhi from this game and become the true people's champion!"
"Madras falls to the Egyptians, and that should be the first domino, just as Ramesses has a 30 GPT shrine, the Parthenon and Sistine. The Ramesses Champion hats are already in production."
"Louis not helping his case at all, completely avoiding Catapults and doing nothing save for dutifully softening up Indian cities for Egyptian troops to just walk into. Particularly tragic is Varanasi, which Louis captured TWICE, only for the Indians to recapture their city both times. Ultimately, Ramesses secures Varanasi, and Louis is effectively locked out of the territory he had torpedoed his own game to take. He's finally teching Construction, but it's too little, too late."
"In the East, wow is Vicky doing an admirable job defending herself in the two front war!"
"It helps that Joao is pretty useless, without Catapults he's essentially a non-factor. For now, Canterbury has fallen to the Ethiopians, and Zara certainly is the leading favorite for his second ever silver medal, but Vicky has Longbows, Statue of Zeus, and Chichen Itza. She is not at all an easy out."
"You might be speaking too soon, Bob. Joao has been quite useful as a decoy, as Zara is also about to punch through Liverpool. If things keep going the way they are, Zara is going to conquer England and be the only hope of stopping the Egyptian menace."
"And, Joao is useless once again, peacing out of England. We will see if Vicky can hold out with just one front."
"Her teching is much better. Zara's teching has been shockingly slow, he's still stuck in the Elepult era when Vicky has Knights. I think England holds."
"Wow, you are right, he's completely unable to break through! Numbers do not matter when it's Horse Archers charging at Castles."
"Wow, Vicky managed to get peace! She survives, greatly hobbled, but intact. Her chances at a podium spot are very low barring a miracle, but they are there."
"Meanwhile, Ramesses has taken Astronomy with Liberalism, has more than twice everybody else's research, plus Taj, and is seizing most of India for himself. Louis finally takes Patilaputra, but he has not gotten remotely enough to benefit. It looks like the game will end as Egypt 1st, Ethiopia 2nd."
"That is the end of India, as Gandhi is FIRST TO TIE ON TURN 182! Two championship appearances in a row, and while the first one ended in a Runner Up trophy, the second one is a failure for the guy. Ramesses lands the final killing blow, his first kill of the season surprisingly, and the cherry on top of what is going to be Egypt's first banner."
"It's a bummer the rest of Maniamuse's Fantasy team ended up busting, as Ramesses was an incredible pickup for him. ABC170 of course extends his already uncatchable lead, you know, he has gotten a lot of First To Die value in the playoffs, three of his four playoff guys eventually getting that distinction. Those points really add up."
"Uh oh, there is multi-faceted rioting in the stadium between Gandhi supporters and Gandhi haters, and between supporters and detractors of the starfish, and we need to cut to the commercial break while we wait for order to be restored. This is Joe and Bob at AI-SPN!"
(Tonight, at ABC Sports, 8 PM Eastern, stay tuned for the game How Many Civilization 7 Viewers Are There?)
"The anarchy has ended, and we can now return to the game at hand."
"Do you think Ramesses will go for Culture?"
"Probably not, this map seems to cause even cultural leaders to lean towards spaceship. The Egyptians are absolutely zooming through the techs, and honestly they should go for Space, it probably beats Culture. They don't even have any real cultural cities, and the one way we might see a different champion is if Ramesses makes the ill-advised move to put up the culture slider."
"You know, Bob, Louis is only Pleased with Ramesses and has an insane amount of border tension. The Egyptians are not Willeming this game away, going Rifling immediately after killing Gandhi, but let's just say they could easily come to blows with the French. The Sun King is not going to implode into a White Dwarf, is he?"
"Joe, are you secretly a Ramesses supporter? That's the second time you've spoken something into existence. Don't tell me you've bet on a Ramesses Victory. As a reminder, please do not gamble. Brought to you by CivDuel Casinos."
"Just like that, the French stack gets pulverized in Indian Egypt. As Mike was saying, godspeed, Louis!"
"There were 115 French units near Lahore, and then there were no French units near Lahore. Louis has gone from the 2nd strongest to the weakest leader!"
"Infantry against Muskets is not much of a contest."
"I blinked, and it is Mechs against Rifles."
"That's a second kill for Ramesses, on Louis! Good effort by the French, but it was always win big or go home for them anyways. And, the camera pans to Louis, brandishing his Season 7 ring while being dragged away by security."
"You know, Ramesses was the first leader ever eliminated in AI Survivor history. Gotta hand it to him, it's been quite the journey from zero to hero."
"Meanwhile, a Diplomatic victory is unlikely to take place. Joao likes Ramesses a lot, but he likes Zara more. There of course is a good chance Ramesses has too much pop at some point and cannot vote himself the winner."
"Fun fact, they removed that stipulation because of that damn Apostalic Palace, that horrible wonder that we got rid of after Season 4."
"Domination is off the cards too, Ramesses is unlikely to get into the war he needs to hit that limit."
"Over in the East, Bob, we have a real competition for 2nd place! JOAO has somehow roared back from irrelevance, grown his cities, and is now less than a hundred score points away from Zara for the silver medal!"
"Wow, Zara is a leader known for being asleep at the wheel, and while Joao did not have any wheels to be asleep in for a long time, he's really making a push for some Portuguese glory! Zara has been plotting on Vicky for a long time, but wow is he biding his time. He needs to act as soon as possible to secure 2nd place for himself."
"This has HUGE Fantasy implications as well! Lobster667 needs Zara to hold on for her to keep second place in Fantasy, as Vincarius, only behind by one point, holds Joao on his Fantasy team!"
"While recovering from his start, Joao was able to backfill a lot of cities and grow them well. He just has more cities, and his Expansive trait makes a bit difference health wise. For now though, Zara and Joao are continuing to tech at around the same rate, and Zara seems to be maintaining a 50 point lead!"
"And Ramesses launches his spaceship! Zara and Joao have till Turn 275 to decide second place."
"Joao makes a civic switch, bringing him into anarchy! That cannot help. But he's now only a dozen points behind, and is about to research the expensive Advanced Flight tech!"
"HE JUMPS AHEAD IN SCORE! 3188 TO 3143! THE PORTUGUESE FANS ARE SCREAMING!"
"AND PLASTICS IS NOT ENOUGH TO OVERCOME!"
"Bob, did you notice that Zara and Ramesses signed a Defensive Pact? Imagine if Vicky were to try and attack Zara, dragging the future-looking Ramesses into the war!"
"WHAT? YOU DID IT AGAIN, JOE! Zara has three turns to take an English city, and possibly second place, and he will have the benefit of Egyptian Modern Armor to help him out!"
"Vicky's stack is destroyed, but you can barely see the sharkfin because of how ridiculous Ramesses' army is."
"Will Zara take Newcastle? Joao is only SEVEN POINTS ahead for the silver medal!"
"It is official: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, RAMESSIS II OF THE EGYPTIAN CIVILIZATION IS YOUR SEASON 9 CHAMPION, COMING HOME WITH A TURN 275 SPACESHIP VICTORY!"
"You know, there was much criticism of Ramesses before this game by many analysts and pundits, with many claiming he got extraordinarily lucky to even make it here! This dominant performance should quiet any naysayers. Ramesses can put his Season 7 and 8 failures behind him: he is a champion, and his name will be etched in history books for all of eternity!
"JOAO II OF THE PORTUGUESE CIVILIZATION IS YOUR SEASON 9 RUNNER UP, EDGING OUT ZARA YACOB OF THE ETHIOPIAN CIVILIZATION BY TEN SCORE POINTS!"
"You know, in a celebratory gesture, Joao attacked Vicky on the last interturn of the game. I have to hand it to him, that was an impressive comeback from irrelevancy, and a well deserved 2nd place for a leader who has cemented a King of 2nd Place title for this season at least."
"And Zara goes home without shaking any hands in a poor display of sportsmanship. He could have attacked Vicky and secured the Runner Up trophy at any time, but instead he needed Vicky to do her best to hand it to him when it was too little, too late. Zara's entire career has been waiting for others to take action for him, and he gets burned once again as a result."
"What a heartbreaker for Vicky, who had leveraged two upset wins to the big game and was a favorite. She stood strong and tall, however, and proved she at least belonged."
"And that is Season 9 for you! Unbelievably, AI Survivor has reached new heights never before seen, and we would like to thank our viewers and contributors for everything they have done to make this season possible. While Season 9 is over, that does not mean we do not have more content coming up! Please check out the Alternate Histories for every game, where our analysts rerun games on the same maps to see which scenarios could have also taken place!"
"And special thanks to Mike at AI-BC Sports, the brains behind the entire operation, who continues to host what is a treasured event for all Civilization fans."
