The top 2 in each block advance to the Quarterfinals. In Block A, Maika has clinched one of the top 2 spots and advances no matter what. The Natsupoi-Hazuki winner on the final day will also advance, but Natsupoi also advances with a draw. In Block B the top 4 are still alive but a 4-way tie is almost certainly not going to happen. First the easy scenarios for the last day-the Iwatani-Inaba winner advances and AZM advances with a win or draw (Iida). If all 3 wind up tied due to draws, tiebreakers suggest the one out is Iwatani because she lost to AZM. Seira mathematically has a chance but needs a lot of help because she has no tiebreakers-she lost to Iwatani and had draws against AZM & Inaba.
The next event which it today at Parse Izaka in Fukushima is just underway as of this post with Blue Block action (they finished up a pre-show dark match). It is live and on demand on Stardom World and the first match (Hanan-Ranna Yagami) will be available FOR FREE on YouTube. (Also the show began with Lady C coming out to greet the crowd briefly. She was walking with a crutch but didn’t seem to hindered but this suggests she’s going to be out months)
