Learning to Live was risking big time, but came back and won over Six Degrees.

Finally Free took over once again from Fatal Tragedy a place in the top 10, the switch had just happened last week.

Disappear finally gets a win!!! against nothing else than DT's greatest hit, Pull Me Under! this does not bring it outside the relegation zone, but still there's a fighting chance.

6:00 also is at the bottom and, while I have nothing against the song, in such an impossible and heavyweights list I'd daresay it's kinda espexted for it to be last.

Still, that song won at least a match - which leaves only Illumination Theory, a big epic, with incredibily ZERO victories, only two draws!

I'm utterly baffled that 6:00 has fared so poorly and that Disappear beat PMU.

D'UH. A Better Life and Ravenskill are matched together, so at least one song would win.... and OBVIOUSLY they draw. Meh.

At this point, a victory would have benefitted A Better Life 'cause the previous only victory it had would give her a fighting chance, but a draw serves absolutely nothing to either songs - not a very helpful second win for A Better Life, nor a consolation victory for Ravenskill to scroll off that "0" in the table.

If I'm not mistaken, Ravenskill has clinched banishment.  With two weeks remaining, the best it can do is 2-17-1 (or 2.5-17.5).  A Life Left Behind currently occupies the final "safe" spot, and the worst it can do is 2-16-2 (or 3-17).  Therefore, it's off to the salt mines with Ravenskill.

The other three of the bottom four songs still have a sliver of hope.

"My personal tastes are right" moment: pity to see These Walls and Lie so low, I would probably have them actually promoted, or at the very least in the top 16 in place of The Great Debate, This Dying Soul or Hell's Kitchen.

Let's also see if there will be a joint victory at the top, or the SDV duo will stumble at the very end!

"My personal tastes are right" moment

This is probably the division with what are, to me, the most baffling results.  Space-Dye Vest with a perfect record??  Wait for Sleep is a fine little intro to Learning to Leave.  By itself, however, there's no way it should have a 13-5 record while Outcry is 3-15.  And don't even get me started on The Great Debate.

I can see what you're saying - am especially surprised at how well TGD has been doing - not that I'm complaining as I really like the song. If these contests were to run so that every single song would be compared to every other song, maybe things might balance out a bit more. But then again, maybe not. Keep in mind that there's not that many who are actually participating, so it's probably not all that accurate according to the fanbase as a whole, or even everyone who's a regular part of this forum in general.
As a basic rule, if you hate it, you must solely blame Portnoy. If it's good, then you must downplay MP's contribution to the band as not being important anyway, or claim he's just lying. It's the DTF way.

Minor change at the top, with Voices gaining a position over Home. Stunning how we have to drop until the 19th position to find a SECOND change!

A major change also happens at the bottom, with Disappear finally dragging itself out of the relegation zone, which is good. However now Bridges in the Sky is in danger, which is bad.

I believe the bottom four here have clinched banishment.  Even if BMUBMD wins and A Life Left Behind loses in the final week, they'd be tied, but the vote differential gap is too much for BMUBMD to overcome.

The last three songs are doomed. Now there's gonna be a three way fight for salvation.

The SDV duo secured the two top spots with one turn left, now it's just a matter of who ends up first.

Given the 71 vote edge that Strange Deja Vu has in vote differential, it has 1st place sewn up.

Unless it loses.... which given the perfect score so far, it won't probably happen, unless the very last match is the SDV derby!

True...maybe those songs will face off against each other.  That vote wouldn't even be a question for me, but I've been surprised at how well some of what I consider to be "lesser" songs from I&W and Awake have been performing.

And we have the four songs doomed to relegation.

Now I hope with the next turn that The Mirror will snatch away Lines in the Sand's 16th position!

Nah - better that TM and LitS both win, and BtL loses!   ;)

Well, nobody ever said that you're right pg!   :biggrin:
(I love both of those tracks - glad to see Disappear finally getting some wins)
As a basic rule, if you hate it, you must solely blame Portnoy. If it's good, then you must downplay MP's contribution to the band as not being important anyway, or claim he's just lying. It's the DTF way.

So Only a Matter of Time wins because of the direct matches! do I totally misremember this song being one of the upcoming from the void, alongside Raise the Knife (that ended fifth) and Hollow Years?

Pity that A Better Life and Ravenskill got no love at all, I consider them both far sperior to A Life Left Behind, if The Path that Divides got 8 victories, at least four wins here and there could have been gathered by two of the best Astonishing songs... uh well, I have something to vote for during the next promotion preliinary round!

No dramatic last minute upset! SDV wins the division, and there's no need to specify which songs since both songs were leaders of the entire division from beginning to the end! congrats however to Strange Deja Vu for properly winning, with its sister song (overture 1928) coming fourth, after Hell's Kitchen which to me has no business of being on the podium, just like The Great Debate should be much lower than #7, maybe in favor of Lie and These Walls which won't take part in the championship tournament, what a pity!

No hope left also for the four songs at the bottom, Surrender to Reason saves itself and the songs that were fourth last time go down (also because only Outcry had still a chance).

Also, all the instrumentals qualified for the tournament.
I use my sig to pimp some bands from Italy! Check out Elvenking (Power / Folk metal), Folkstone (Rock / Medieval metal), Arcana Opera (Gothic/Noir/Heavy metal) and the beautiful voice of Elisa!

Here instead we have the big final match, which consecrates A Change of Seasons as the undefeated division champion!!!

The defeat robs Learning to Live of a victory, or at least a co-victory, but not of the second place, with Metropolis arriving third because of a worse differential.

The Glass Prison defeats my boy The Mirror, keeping both outside of the final tournament... damn!
