The Bedlam on Baltic Avenue

November 4, 2020

Five celebrated boy/girl pairings will highlight the battle for the 2020 International Saimoe League Sapphire Necklace and Pendant Matches but it is not either from these five that will come in as favorites in these matches by the Bedlam on Baltic Avenue. Yukino Yukinoshita has been labeled as the favorite to win the Sapphire Necklace while Lancer is labeled as the favorite to win the Sapphire Pendant. Unlike the current IRL Presidential Race in America, no recounts and no delays are expected in the vote tally, nor are the results expected to be contested here.
