Can sweep. That means fill all slots, as in have enough people that are still in the tournament at all to actually fill all 3.

okay, thanks, sorry for misunderstanding then :P it just seemed like he/she underestimates others :P

Exactly. The best any other nation can do, simply by how the brackets worked out, is taking two of the three slots.

Switzerland, Japan, Finland, USSR, Mexico, Australia, Austria, Czech Republic, Netherlands, and Poland only have one or two entrants each, so it's impossible for any one of them to take all three finals slots.

Hungary has no editors in Bracket 2, Italy and France both have none in Bracket 1, and Sweden is short Bracket 3. Germany had an editor in all three brackets, but their only entrant in Bracket 1 didn't advance, so taking all three slots is now impossible.

I try not to underestimate anyone; I've seen editors of all nationalities go very deep into the previous tournaments. I just like figuring out patterns and possibilities (World Cup qualifying is one of my favorite things to follow for the same reason). I should have been clearer on my phrasing on that one, and I apologize for causing the misunderstanding. I tend to fall into using odd idioms when I talk about sports and competitions (a bad habit from hanging around with TV and radio commentators) and forget that other people might not recognize the phrases.

Well, finally got the last vote from last night's match! It was another close one.

Match 6: DaCoolGohan vs. MoonlightSoldier
DaCoolGohan's Source: Trigun 22-26
Moonlight Soldier's Source: KaleidoStar New Wings 6-10
Song: Maritime - The Window Is The Door
WINNER: DaCoolGohan

Today's matches are still being voted on, so hopefully we'll hear about those sometime tonight or early tomorrow.

As far as matches go tomorrow, there was some weird mix-ups with source selection, with people not showing up or showing up late, so right now, the only matches where both people have their sources are: TrinityDown vs. Copycat Revolver & Lapskaus vs. Unlimited Rice. So there's 3 other matches where I really don't know what's happening right now... o_o

So, a BIG REMINDER TO THOSE OF YOU WITH MATCHES THIS WEEKEND! YOU HAVE TO BE ONLINE AT SOME POINT ROUGHLY 24 HOURS BEFORE YOUR MATCH. PREFERABLY BOTH YOU AND YOUR OPPONENT. THE BEST PLACE TO FIND ME IS ON IRC AT #AMV ON SYNIRC.

Was definitely a good one, I feel like we were pretty evenly matched. In any event here's mine.

Re: Mewn vs. DCG
wow, that's two really different videos that came out of this. That's a heck of a hard song to work with. Not in terms of structure, but just... it's one of those songs that's really hard to work with in 2 hours, because you can't get away with random action and there's a lot of subtle stuff you need to consider carefully. So when all's said and done, I think both of you did a good job.

I slightly prefer Mewn's but that's just me. Maybe a source thing for me >__>
