ISML 2020: A Wide Open Sapphire Showdown Awaits
By Jo-Ryan Salazar
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. In the upcoming selection round for the Summer Seasonal, Hana Uzaki has been tipped as the odds-on favorite to win the Diadem but will be facing stern opposition from established names like Suguha Kirigaya and newer up and comers like Chizuru Ichinose.
