ISML 2009 ends today (at least the main tournament). Hinagiku has beaten Shana by 11 points once again upsetting the top seed. With that, Hinagiku is crowned the champion of ISML 2009. Congratulation Hinagiku! Shana had a good run here with this being her third loss for the entire year, but she couldn’t win where it mattered most.

Shana’s winning streak has ended at 57. Hinagiku upsets Shana sending her to the loser’s bracket. I’m disappointed, but I gotta hand it to Hinagiku who ranks 11th. Hinagiku may be favored to take the tiara now that she secured her spot in the finals. I think the only way for her to lose is for her to lose the championship match twice.

However, Shana’s not out yet. If she can win in the loser’s bracket against Yuki or Tomoyo (the only other character to beat her in the entire tournament), she can earn a rematch against Hinagiku. Shana is my favorite to win by the way. She has also been sparked just now because of the recent OVA.

As of now, there are only 4 characters left fighting for the tiara with Hina most favored. How will this finish?

Picks: Shana > Hinagiku > Tomoyo > Yuki (sorry.)

Predictions: Hinagiku > Shana > Yuki > Tomoyo

Haruhi takes 9th place as she defeats Rin by a large amount. Go Haruhi! So Rin takes 10th, Mikuru takes 11th, and Suigintou takes 12th.

Finally, Kobato wins the exhibition matchup. That’s all good. I originally voted for Kuroko, but recently I started watching Kobato, and I liked what I saw. Actually, I would have voted for Kobato if I watched earlier.

Next up: Yuki vs. Tomoyo in elimination, Taiga vs. Kagami for 7th (rematch of Best Moe finals?), and others

BREAKING: Fate is eliminated from the tournament. Yuki defeats Fate this time around, and now it is guaranteed that there will be a new champion this year. The best Fate can do now is get 5th place.

Also, Tomoyo advances after eliminating Kyou who will be fighting Fate for 5th. In the 9th place match, I’ll just say that it is going as expected, unfortunately.

Don’t have much to say about the later rounds. This exhibition match wasn’t interesting to me at all, although Sango lost. She may be my favorite Inuyasha female character, but she pales in comparison to a lot of characters.

Congratulations to all the winners that advanced. Those eliminated include Haruhi (Surprisingly), Mikuru, Suigintou, and Rin. Yes! Rin is out of the tournament! Eliminated by Taiga! (All that’s left for her is the match to determine where she stands) Taiga is awesome! I’m pretty satisfied with today’s results overall. Maybe Taiga could go for the top…wait, she’s against Fate next.

Also, Utau managed to pull off a win against Alice. I don’t remember how Utau was not able to get in (or how Amu did). Or maybe Alice is not that good.

Next up: Winner’s Bracket (Round 2), 13th place match (part 1), and Relegation (round 5).

Congratulations to Shana beating Rin. Now if Rin can get eliminated.

Also, congratulations to Kyou, Hinagiku, and Yuki for beating their respective opponents. Most notably, Yuki defeats Haruhi this time around.

Next up, the first set of characters will get eliminated from the tournament. I’ll post the matchups as the match rolls around Monday.

ISML Double Elimination- 1st Round of Revelation

ISML Double Elimination- Preliminary Round of Judgement

Below are my picks for this round. I’m not sure about what the matches are for in arenas 9-15. According to the ISML website, this is a regulation tournament for the characters below .500. I think the top 5 will be in the ISML 2010. Again, I’m not sure. See the website for more info. Link is provided at the bottom.
