Chibasa, exec, and Woody are auto-qualified for this year, being last year's semifinalists.
3 auto qualified + 25 nominated contestants + 4 playoff contestants for a total of 32 contestants.

Tomorrow the Playoff match will be held at 12:00pm GMT -6 (3 hrs after voting starts) between members having 1 nomination.
Nominated and auto-qualified contestants may not drop out from this point onward.

oh dear, a Maglor Second Coming indeed~ >;p

or is it Madlor now...

[Chibasa]

Interesting, we're following a way more linear result than last year.

Choco, houreki and Toady are still near the top and maglor took the 1st spot this time for some really mad time. Nice.
It seems like Homura found his way to be close to houreki, the ship goes on... I'm glad to see Regal back on top after last year in play-off !

We have enough newcomers in the edition, pretty nice. I look forward this playoff which looks very different from last year (11/20 <-> 4/5).

One of the result annoys me a lot however... Someone will be spanked for not getting enough votes !

[Toady]

Wooooooow! 33 nominated and 32 qualified for the main phase haha!
I'm glad all my nominations made it and being Tier 2 despite not being very active recently is cool too! Looking forward to being in a bad group in Round 1 already lol

[Homura]

I appreciate a lot the nominations. I didn't expect to have that many, given I act worse or less diplomatically than I do in life haha. Thank you!

[Karob]

I will hunt down everyone who nominated me, after I finish hunting those that didn't nominate for me.

[Kiwigiwi]

Maglor shall rise again. There is no stopping him.

[houreki]

Group stage will consist of 8 groups with 4 members each. To determine the groupings, I will be holding a drawing on ISML's Discord server on 21 September, 10 pm UTC -6.
Contestants are seeded into 4 pots based on nomination results, playoff votes, and user activity. Each group will contain 1 contestant from each pot.
The drawing will be held on the #bot-palace channel. If you don't have access to the ISML Discord server, This is the invite link
