The top 3 in each block advance with the winners of each block going to the Semifinals and the other 2 teams facing off for the second Semifinals spot. In the Red Block, Maika/HANAKO clinched the second top 3 spot and will advance but for now they aren’t in the free pass spot because Hazuki/Koguma have the tiebreaker. Everyone else mathematically still has a chance except Inaba/Yagami who are done (no matches left) but Iwatani/Kohgo are technically out because their only hope would be if the tiebreaker was against only Tora/Ruaka or AZM/Amasaki. The path for Tora/Ruaka is similarly very narrow and they only have hope because they beat Kamitani/Konami.
In the Blue Block, Anou/Natsopoi have now mathematically advanced. Rina/Inaba are now out despite being in 4th because today was their final match so Kid/Suzuki took the top 3 spot from them. The bottom 3 are now out of contention as well so it’s down to 5. Anou/Natsupoi still lead but it’s worth noting the one tiebreaker they lose now is to Watanabe/Thekla, and with Rina/Inaba out of it the former now hold all tiebreakers except Kid/Suzuki (draw) and their 2 remaining opponents (Seira/Cohaku then Hanan/Iida). Kid/Suzuki are hurt by having 3 draws including against both Anou/Natsuipoi & Watanabe/Thekla. The most important stat here-Watanabe/Thekla have one extra match left so they are in control with regards to who has the advantage for the top spot.
The next event is Saturday at Ishibashi Sports Center in Tochigi, which will also be a hometown event for the Stardom sisters-Hanan, Hina & Rina. Live streaming on Stardom World will begin Friday at 8 PM PT/11 PM ET.
