BoBA Predictions: ISML 2008 Tiara Loser's Bracket Round 3

BoBA Predictions:

ISML 2008 Tiara Loser's Bracket Round 3
The Cleansing of the Erupting Volcanoes

In the last round, the Bedlam was right on the money with its predictions, with Fate and Kagami slated to fight in the Winner's Bracket Final on October 24. After this round, the field will be down to six.

#2 Tomoyo Sakagami vs. #12 Konata Izumi

Tomoyo and Konata are slated for another Thrilla in Manila, not unlike the epic Ali-Frazier match. For Konata, she is riding on the coattails of what is arguably her best victory of the entire season. To defeat her mentor, her role model, Haruhi Suzumiya, by one vote...that isn't an easy thing to do. But then again, things don't get any easier.

She faces Tomoyo Sakagami, one of the more well-rounded competitors of this tournament. Sure, she has no necklaces to her credit. But she has an impressive track record of victories, including a win over Konata. A proud competitor and active leader in student government blessed with sassy feet, she is looking to keep her ISML Tiara dream alive. Also, she was able to defeat Konata in their third round 2chan Saimoe match held earlier this month.

And while she was humbled by Kagami in the Winner's Bracket, she should have no issue against Konata. For the Legendary Girl A, her run stops here. At least this is what the Bedlam predicts.

BoBA Predicts: Tomoyo by less than 100 votes.

#11 C.C. vs. #8 Kotomi Ichinose

In Jakarta, Indonesia, where Krakatoa lies in wait, C.C. pulled off a shocker upset of her own, defeating Kyou Fujibayashi, avenging her previous defeat in the round robin stages. The question of C.C. being able to count higher than 20 was answered in her meeting with Hinagiku in the roundf robins, and it was answered again in the second upset of the Loser's Bracket.

For Kotomi Ichinose, this is, without question, a bit of surprise. Perhaps even she thought she was going to meet her execution against Kyou. But it turns out to be a free pass. Armed with her violin and sound wave arsenal, she is looking to make it two straight against the Pizza Girl. And thus, the Bedlam will call for it to happen.

BoBA Predicts: Kotomi by less than 100 votes.
