The top 3 in each block advance to the playoffs, with the winners going to the Quarterfinals. In Red A, nobody is out yet because Aoki has now lost 2 in a row even though she still leads, but the advantage went to AZM today as she now holds the tiebreaker over Aoki. Aoki’s last opponent is Maika. Although not in last, Kurara is now eliminated because she loses all tiebreakers to those who can get to 6+ points except Rina and has only one match left (Tora). Kurogame is on life support because of the point today but still has the thinnest possible chance. In Red B, Iida leads with Yamashita as her final opponent for the tiebreaker but Konami is in the advantage position with 3 matches left. For tiebreaker purposes, Iida currently beats Konami and Itoh and currently loses to Hayashishita. Yamashita went to draws with Itoh & Hayashishita so there could very well have to be a tiebreaker match, but the second tiebreaker after head-to-head result is wins. Yamashita-Konami upcoming will settle that. Hopefully. C is now eliminated due to losing all tiebreakers. In Blue A, Suzuki is in control as the last unbeaten left, with Hart now having the tiebreaker over Ruaka due to winning their match. The only tiebreaker Suzuki does not have right now is Sakura because their match hasn’t happened yet. She also hasn’t faced Ruaka and Hart yet. Sakura is basically on life support because the only tiebreakers she wins are HANAKO & Ruaka. Amasaki & Hina also only beat Sakura. Rian of course is now out. In Blue B, Watanabe maintains the lead and currently would have the tiebreaker over Kamitani because of wins, but Kamitani has a match in hand. Neither has faced Hanan yet though. Hanan only loses tiebreaker right now to Sohrei. Kid also is in good shape having beaten Watanabe but went to a draw with Kamitani and her loss is to Hanan. Mizumori & Koguma are still in it but with slim hopes as Mizumori still has Hanan & Kamitani and Koguma still faces Kid & Watanabe but lost to Hanan & Kamitani. Sohrei has a chance with 3 matches left and she beat Hanan. Furusawa is out.
The next event is Saturday at Gateaux Kingdom Sapporo in Hokkaido for a doubleheader with only the Red blocks for both events. Live streaming on Stardom World for event 1 will begin at midnight PT/3 AM ET and 9 PM PT/midnight ET for event 2.
