UTC 2025-07-12 23:00:00 Due to unstable server status, the voting phase for the ongoing Elimination Round 4 will be extended by 4 hours. The round will end at 16:00 UTC.

UTC 2025-07-12 12:30:00 Staff has detected a failure to load contestant images on the voting page due to short bursts of heavy access traffic. This issue should not affect your ability to submit your ballot. You can vote for the contestant of your choice based on the character name displayed on the voting page, or wait until off-peak hours to try voting again. If you experience any other difficulties, please contact a staff member or ask the community for help.

UTC 2025-07-12 12:00:00 New feature: Live Voting Statistics Effective immediately, ISML will conduct a public beta test of the Live Voting Statistics feature during matchdays. After submitting your vote, visit your Voter ID page to view the current vote count for each contestant. Data refreshes every 30 minutes. To ensure fairness, votes flagged for potential irregularities are excluded from live counts pending manual review. The total number of "votes waiting for review" will be displayed. Valid votes of them will be counted no later than the official results announcement. Malicious voters may exploit this feature to attempt breaching our vote-counting systems. Due to persistent server attacks, ISML may immediately suspend live statistics (partially or fully) without prior notice if suspicious activity is detected. Service resumes once threats are neutralized. Critical Reminder: Live data is provisional. Always refer to the final official results published after the match. This is a brave attempt by ISML to balance fairness and transparency. We thank you for your ongoing support and understanding. Note: The Main Tournament (except Consolation matches) are not involved in early testing of this feature. The date to enable the feature for the Main Tournament will be determined by staff based on the testing process.
