ISML 2010: Shana takes command of Emerald phase




June 17, 2010


It seems like Shana wants to add to her burgeoning necklace collection. And while it is too early to say, the Flame Haze is coming out with guns blazing.

Shana torched Louise Francoise Le Blanc De La Valliere 3180-1056 to rise to first in the 2010 International Saimoe League Emerald phase.

Defending ISML champion Hinagiku Katsura recorded an easy 3027-1196 rout of winless Hanyuu Furude, while Mio Akiyama stayed undefeated with a 3037-1344 annihilation of Konjiki no Yami (Golden Darkness).

Team Nanoha-TSAB picked up another rare sweep. In a match that was all too predictable to call, Nanoha Takamachi was the next to add to Nodoka Haramura's disappointing performance, blasting her 2648-959. Fate Testarossa kept her chances of gaining one of the last spots in the 2010 International Saimoe League Tiara phases alive with a 2222-1775 triumph over Isumi Saginomiya.

Bakemonogatari also claimed a clean sheet. Hitagi Senjougahara tore down Minori Kushieda 2335-1644 while Nadeko Sengoku edged Konata Izumi 2186-2007.

In the special match, a close contest saw Mion Sonozaki score a thrilling 1874-1862 victory. This is the closest special match result so far in the ISML regular season-a winning margin of just 12 votes!
