ISML 2009: Tomoyo Sakagami shuts out SOS Brigade, Kurimu makes her mark




October 27, 2009


Tomoyo Sakagami has secured a date with Shana for a spot in the 2009 International Saimoe League Tiara final. She defeated Yuki Nagato, 1156-1034, in a bitter contest on the surface of the Big Dog, the Star of Sirius.


"I am honored to be in the top three," said Sakagami, who ironically is seeded third in the Tiara, "but as we all should know, the job's far from done. Shana want another crack at Hinagiku Katsura. I've had success against her before, so the way I approached the last contest will have to be built on."


Meanwhile, another new face arrived on the fray at the Madrid ISML Exhibition Arena. Kurimu Sakurano, from Seitokai no Ichizon, thumped Kampfer's Natsuru Seno 1268-709. "I have the utmost respect for those battling for the Tiara," said Sakurano after the contest. "I would love to take part in next year's content, if I am given the opportunity."
