Well, I do hope you vote in KBM, because you can vote there easily, unlike Jsaimoe and KBM results do have some implications for ISML 2011

I have seen too much to rage about this now.

It gives me another opportunity to keep personal voting statistics, too.

Similar to the Space Opera and J-saimoe visualizations, I've created a visualization of the DE bracket.

http://www.internationalsaimoe.com/s...ics/viewer/DE/

Instructions are included. The main feature of this is the ability to shift the whole bracket and make it 'wrap around' the edges, demonstrating how a DE bracket, with the Winner's Bracket and Loser's Bracket both branching out from the same source and ending in the same place, is in effect like a 'closed loop', and the toggling of lines showing where the losers in the Winner's bracket end up in the Loser's bracket.

This is the original of the DE bracket graphics seen on the main ISML page, as they are output from this.

[Ithekro]

Nice feature.

If you guys are bored until DE, then you can vote in forum exhibition matches in the ISML Forums.

Registration required, or not to vote in those?

It's more like pre-match voting/discussion similar to polls you would see in certain threads. Unless I'm wrong, registration is required for these polls/voting.

Edit: Looks like there is an option to vote in the poll without registering for the forum.

PV for Double Elimination is now available on the website.

Or here -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gd9DbMBBjWU

I personally love it. Thank you, KholdStare! A fine job once again~

[Ahasuerus]

Wow, great job on the PV Kholdstare

[Kotohono]

Agreed the PV is very nice, good work Kholdstare.

[Shiroth]

Kisaragi maybe, though probably CAPTAIN.

Athena is tempting, though will probably go with Celty. Would be Hiro, though i like the new characters to have a go.

[Sphire]

Wrong thread maybe Shiroth?

As for the PV, cool video. Big props for the music choice, I was almost hoping Mikoto would appear last just because of it. Too bad it's short.

I know it's still early, but what are peoples predictions? It seems to me the winners bracket is pretty much predictable all the way until the first final. The losers bracket seems to me like where all the fun action will be.

I had actually not yet checked the video. But now that I did, I see what you meant. I can't expect a short video to determine a winner, but if any of the characters (one in particular) got a boost, I would know why.

Spoiler for My predictions on the winners side:

Shana/Hitagi - Haruhi/Saber - Mikoto/Nadeko - Taiga/Nagi
Shana/Saber - Mikoto/Taiga
Shana/Mikoto

Hinagiku/Kagami - Azusa/Tomoyo - Yuki/Kyou - Mio/Yui
Hinagiku/Azusa - Yuki/Mio
Hinagiku/Mio
I give Mio the advantage over Shana (first match).

I find it interesting you think Hina will beat Azusa in the winners bracket, but lose to her in the losers bracket. I'm kinda predicting the opposite will happen.

Spoiler for winners prediction:

I see winners side something like this:
Shana/Haruhi, Taiga/Mikoto
Shana/Taiga
Shana

Mio/Yuki, Hina/Azusa
Mio/Azusa
Mio

And Mio for the first final match

I have predictions for losers side, but it'll probably look messy typing it up.

Yeah. My predictions were based on what happened in Korea Best Moe 2008 - both Shana and Hinagiku were such a popular choice that they made semi-finals easily, prompting many neutral voters to vote against them in the semi-finals in order to avoid a repeat final match from 2007. Seeing how we had a Hinagiku/Shana final last year, I'm kind of thinking the same thing will happen here, except China's part in the voting demographic will protect Shana against that problem.
