=================================================
MATCH #1: 1. MEGUMIN VS. 32. AYUMU "OSAKA" KASUGA
Let's try that again
Here we are Fediverse. We have finally arrived to main tournament, and with that, the very first match of the main tournament.
Let the games begin!
** 1. Megumin / Konosuba **
Of all the girls, many have speculated either Holo or Megumin would win this tournament, before it even officially began. Of all the girls nominated, Megumin is the one to reach beyond the 30's in total weighted points. She also had the most nominations, with the only one having double digits. Posted constantly on the Fediverse, as both a meme and as a cute and funny anime girl, taken as waifu by several Fediverse users, and from a consistently great series, we have high expectations for this tiny isekai witch.
Megumin is the great witch of explosive powers and chief member of the Crimson Demon. A massive chuuni, she fits perfectly with her misfit party of Kazuma, Aqua, and Darkness, always trying to one-up everyone in spectacle and achievement, but often her attempts end in hilarious Though she is immature, she does care for her family; and despite her mistakes and failures, she is still a very powerful girl. If you can I M A G I N E and love cunny witches, vote for Megumin.
** WCTB 32. Ayumu "Osaka" Kasuga / Azumanga Daioh **
Osaka barely made it to the main tournament. She only won by a few points for a wild card tie breaker again Miia that itself was only conducted due to a coin flip. It would be a lie to say Osaka has anything more than a miracle of a chance to beat the number one seed today. But stranger things have happened on the Fediverse.
From her Royal Rumble match:
"Ayuma Kasuga, nicknamed Osaka from her town name, is opposite of the Osakan loud-mouth and lively attitudes. Kasuga is a spacey, slow, and quiet girl who takes it easy with life, including hanging out with her high school friends. She always states the obvious even if the obvious is stupidly simple. Always sleeping, she still knows how handle the toughest challenges well, like the English class mid-term or the school's sports festival. Even if she is not the brightest, Osaka still knows how to be a good girl and helps her friends in all their crazy school antics. Vote for her if you love lovable ahos."

Apologies for the delay! I am watching the first episodes of the new season.
Shocking everyone, Osaka had a lead the first hour of the match. It seemed lolibros overestimated her appeal and slept for the match. At the end of the first hour, Graf himself came and promoted the matched and asked Poast to vote for Megumin, boosting her past Osaka. Some could say he "fortified the election". Whether you think that should be legal or illegal, Megumin got the lead she needed.
Still, she doesn't have the heavy lead many were expecting, so this match is still in play.
I'm curious what you guys' predictions are for the tournament. Christi shared his thoughts a few days ago. Here is the tourney bracket in PDF form. Share your own filled brackets here and let's so who can get it right.
No, there won't be any prize or anything else special for getting predictions right to ensure there's no incentive to cheat and ruin the tourney. This is purely for fun.
Hey guys!
I've been felling better today. If that trend continues tomorrow, I'm gonna write all the info for the main tournament tomorrow and other stuff. The new plan is to start the first match either Thursday or Friday.
