(A)-Wins block and will advance to Semifinals
(*)-Will finish 2nd or 3rd in block and advance to Quarterfinals
The top 3 in each block advance.
In Red A, Kamitani wins the block and will advance to the Semifinals. Priestley will finish 2nd and is through to the Quarterfinals but will still try to spoil Kamitani’s unbeaten run tomorrow. 3rd depends on Hanan, if she wins her final match tomorrow or goes to a time limit draw (Mizumori), she finishes 3rd and advances. If Mizumori wins or it’s a no point scenario for both, there probably will have to be a tiebreaker match between Hanan & Seira because their head-to-head result was a time limit draw.
In Red B, it’s 4 fighting for 3-AZM has the lead ahead of her final match tomorrow (Kurara) and a win puts her through. The Kid-Natsupoi winner, if there is one, also advances and that also means Rina advances. If it’s a time limit draw, it’s complicated because of tiebreakers. Rina has no tiebreakers because she lost to AZM and Natsupoi plus went to a time limit draw with Kid today. AZM has tiebreaker over Natsupoi & Rina but went to a draw with Kid. Kid’s only loss so far is to Inaba but has the 2 draws. But multi-way ties likely mean the odd one out is Rina.
In Blue A, Anou advanced with her win today and Bozilla is also advancing. Who wins the block will be determined tomorrow when Bozilla faces Sohrei-if Bozilla wins, she goes to the Semifinals. If Sohrei wins, Anou goes to the Semifinals and Sohrei also advances. If a time limit draw, they may need a tiebreaker match because Bozilla-Anou was a draw but Sohrei will advance in 3rd. Also, if Bozilla wins, both Amasaki & Iida have a chance to advance but it can get complicated. The simple ways: On tiebreakers Sohrei beats Iida but Amasaki beats Sohrei. In a 3-way tie, same but Iida beat Amasaki today, so…yeah.
In Blue B it’s also wide open but I’m marking Sareee as advancing because it appears she has all the tiebreakers-her only loss is to Konami and her draw is against Suzuki. Yagami is mathematically alive but has an extremely narrow path in-she must beat Suzuki to have any chance. However, tiebreakers do not favor her so in all straight-up scenarios she is out. After her epic collapse and finishing with 3 straight losses, Watanabe is on the hotseat but can still advance, for that to happen HANAKO must lose her final match (Hina) or Yagami must beat Suzuki and then Watanabe has tiebreakers. HANAKO advances with a win. Suzuki must beat Yagami or have Hina beat HANAKO.
The final day of the preliminary rounds is tomorrow at Act City Hamamatsu Exhibition Event Hall Block 2 in Shizuoka. Live streaming on Stardom World will begin TONIGHT at 9 PM PT/midnight ET.
