Isayama prevailed over Suiseiseki 2087-2004 and Sawako Kuronuma 2087-1454.

Erio Towa was projected by the Bedlam to win Nova Group 6, and it happened. Touwa routed Haqua du Lot Herminium 2550-2222 and Madoka Kaname 2550-1643. Ayase Shinomiya and Airi Sena also scored wins. Shinomiya took down Kirika Ueno 2575-1726 and Akari Akaza 2575-1601. Sena was all business against Nako Oshimizu 2824-1429 and Nano Shinonome 2824-1413.

Illyasviel von Einzbern was projected by BoBA to win Stella Group 7, and she got the job done with victories over Ikaros 2407-2327 and Ui Hirasawa 2407-1832. Kurimu Sakurano and Kazari Uiharu also finished their Stella 7 run on a winning note. Uiharu defeated Ai Enma 2411-1678 and Shinku 2411-1556. Sakurano rolled past Sakura Kinomoto 2266-1989 and Rika Furude 2266-1989.

Illyasviel's mother, Irisviel, will also be in the regular season, after cruising past Kanon Nakagawa 2226-2138 and Kanade Suzutsuki 2226-1924. Sayaki Miki and Houki Shinonono also came away victorious. Miki slashed past Naruko Anjou 2162-2013 and Haruka Amami 2162-1472. Shinonono rolled past Ohana Matsumae 2355-1997 and Kyouko Toshinou 2355-1618.

In the first of two surprise results, according to BoBA, Holo upset Kyou Fujibayashi 2278-2266 in Stella Group 8. Mafuyu Shiina was a distant third with 1764 votes. Mai Kawasumi and Fate Testarossa also finished the group with wins. Testarossa slammed Kaori Kanzaki 2471-2037 and Shiki Ryougi 2471-1427. Kawasumi, a mainstay in Kanon, prevailed over Kobato Hanato 2479-1965 and Hinata Hyuuga 2479-1165.

In Nova Group 8, Mayo Chiki's hopes for breaking through to the regular season have hit a speed bump in Nova Group 8 after the most unexpected of characters from The World God Only Knows became the first to fly the flag for the series. Shiori Shiomiya stunned Subaru Konoe 2169-1997 while putting the clamps on Fear Kubrick 2169-1997. Shirayuki Hotogi and Horizon Ariadust also finished Preliminaries Phase II with victories. Hotogi slashed past Mayuri SHiina 2457-2070 and Miu Amaha 2457-1505. Ariadust dusted off Miki Hoshii 2418-1853 and Himari Takakura 2418-1086.

March 23, 2012

Match Day 6 of the 2012 International Saimoe League Preliminaries Phase II is in the books, and we can indeed say that the stage is set for Super Sunday and Super Tuesday to determine the next 16 regular season contestants in both the Nova and Stella Divisions.

In Stella Group 5, Hecate, Kagami Hiiragi and Yui Hirasawa are expected to contend for the ticket. Hecate defeated Lala Satalin Deviluke 2887-2171 and Rukia Kuchiki 2887-1054. Hiiragi dominated Minori Kushieda 2981-2284 and Kagura 2981-1060. Hirasawa, tabbed by the Bedlam on Baltic Avenue as the group winner here, rocked Ruiko Saten 3260-1712 and Rena Ryuuguu 3260-1422.

Yuno Gasai, Asami Iwasawa and Inori Yuzuriha will duke it out for Nova Group 5 honors. Gasai slashed past Reki 2626-1316 and CHihaya Kisaragi 2626-1316. Asami Iwasawa blew past Wendy Marvell 3053-1633 and Rin Kaga 3053-1507. Yuzuriha, the face of Guilty Crown, rolled past Mami Tomoe 2896-2072 and Haruka Morishima 2896-1304.

Watch for a huge turnout on Tuesday between Mikuru Asahina, Konjiki no Yami and Last Order in Stella Group 6. Asahina whipped past Maria 2937-1861 and Yomi Isayama 2937-1418. Konjiki no Yami, the perennial breadwinner for To-Love-Ru, earned victories over Tsubasa Hanekawa 3024-2021 and Sawako Kuronuma 3024-1006. Last Order, picked by BoBA to win this group, defeated Ushio Okazaki 2944-2153 and Suiseiseki 2944-1178.

The Goddess, Madoka Kaname, was all business in her Nova Group 6 victories over Akari Akaza 2784-1797 and Nako Oshimizu 2784-1254. However, this will go down to either Haqua du Lot Herminium and the BoBA-tabbed Erio Touwa. Haqua cruised past Kirika Ueno 2962-1717 and Nano Shinonome 2962-1204. Touwa dominated Ayase Shinomiya 2880-1845 and Airi Sena 2880-1196.

Ikaros, Ui Hirasawa and Illyasviel von Einzbern will settle Stella Group 7. Ikaros flew past Sakura Kinomoto 3304-1785 and Ai Enma 3304-1030. Hirasawa trounced Rika Furude 3203-1999 and Shinku 3203-893. Illyasviel, projected by BoBA to win this group, defeated Kurimu Sakurano 3200-1810 and Kazari Uiharu 3200-1173.

Kanon Nakagawa, Irisviel von Einzbern and Kanade Suzutsuki have an equal chance of winning Nova Group 7. Nakagawa wiped out Kyouko Toshino 3194-1662 and Haruka Amami 3194-747. Irisviel scored victories over Ohana Matsumae 2947-2046 and Naruko Anjou 2947-989. Suzutsuki took down Houki Shinonono 2531-1942 and Sayaka Miki 2531-1683.

Holo, Kyou Fujibayashi and Mafuyu Shiina are ready to settle Stella Group 8. Holo chomped up Fate Testarossa 2622-2084 and Kobato Hanato 2622-1241. Fujibayashi laid the book on Shiki Ryogi 3106-1511 and Mai Kawasumi 3106-1213. Shiina outlasted Kaori Kanzaki 2983-2024 and Hinata Hyuuga 2983-933.

Subaru Konoe is the favorite by BoBA to win Nova Group 8, after scoring victories over Shirayuki Hotogi 2462-2135 and Horizon Ariadust 2462-1137. However, she will face still competition from Shiori Shiomiya and Fear Kubrick. Shiomiya scored victories over Mio Amaha 2993-1870 and Himari Takakura 2993-817. Kubrick took down Mayuri Shiina 2780-1847 and Miki Hoshii 2780-1230.

ISML 2012: Prelims II continue on and on and on...

March 21, 2012

The 2012 International Saimoe League Preliminaries rolled on with Day 6 of Phase II, or Match Day 11 of the entire Preliminary Period.

In Nova Group 1, Elucia de Lute Irma defeated Yuuko Shionji 3070-2167 and Astarotte Ygvar 3070-1022. Misaki Ayuzawa defeated Sana Inui 2474-1872 and Poplar Taneshima 2474-1812. De Lute Irma will have a hard time figuring out Aria Holmes Kanzaki, who blew past Sora Kasugano 3031-2102 and Aoi Kunieda 3031-1212.

Stella Group 1 favorite Louise Francoise Le Blanc De La Valliere scored victories over Fuuko Ibuki 3039-2164 and Chii 3039-1268. Nymph took out Tsukasa Hiiragi 2912-2340 and Evangeline A.K. McDowell 2912-1150. Tsumugi Kotobuki, meanwhile, recorded wins over Lucy Heartfilia 3240-1848 and Suigintou 3240-1322.

Meiko Honma rolled past Sen Yarizui 2798-1862 and Ai Nanasaki 2798-1862. However, Honma is likely to wait until Phase III to have a shot at punching her ticket. Kurisu Makise, one of the two favorites in this group, took down Minami Shimada 2931-2305 and Tsurara Oikawa 2931-1189. The other favorite is Riko Mine, who shot down Aoi Yamada 3197-1820 and Yune 3197-1096.

Tipped by BoBA as the winner of Stella Group 2, Shinobu Oshino swallowed up Ami Kawashima 3348-1852 and Alice 3348-1241. Nagisa Furukawa scored victories over Yui Kotegawa 2985-2279 and Kallen Kozuki Stadtfeld 2985-1104. Kuroko Shirai wasted no time in dismantling Isumi Saginomiya 2920-2131 and Amu Hinamori 2920-1253.

Nova Group 3 is going to most likely come down to one of three candidates: Ayase Aragaki, Shouko Kirishima, and Yozora Mikazuki. Aragaki took down Dalian 3166-2046 and Mahiru Inami 3166-1014. Kirishima whipped past Laura Bodewig 2896-1937 and Minko Tsurugi 2896-1452. Mikazuki rolled past Tomoka Minato 3149-1989 and Minene Uryuu 3149-1140.

Nagi Sanzen'in was all business in Stella Group 3, crushing Erza Scarlet 3231-2050 and Ai Haibara 3231-957. Index L. Prohibitorum rolled past Yin 3298-1596 and Misuzu Kamio 3298-1335. Group favorite Tomoyo Sakagami cruised past Mikan Yuuki 3087-1944 and Asuka Langley Soryuu 3087-1373.

There are three candidates in Nova Group 4 that have an excellent shot at winning it all and sealing a spot in the show. Haruna knocked down Tsugumi 3278-1910 and Chihaya Ayase 3278-849. Mizuki Himeji leveled Ayumi Takahara 2743-1748 and Hinata Hakamada 2743-1636. Kyouko Sakura speared past Ika-Musume 2820-2222 and Hakase Shinonome 2820-2222.

In Stella Group 4, Kotomi Ichinose rocked Rei Ayanami 3304-1637 and Utau Hoshina 3304-1637. C.C. outlasted Ritsu Tainaka 2880-2435 and Chrome Dokuro 2880-1185. Konata Izumi, picked by BoBA to win Stella 4, curbstomped Nanoha Takamachi 2913-2203 and Ayu Tsukimiya 2913-1177.
