Louise Francoise Le Blanc De La Valliere advances to the Saimoe 2007 quarterfinals


Analysis:





This has to be another huge blow for the Rozen Maiden cause. I thought that Suigintou was going to be a huge threat to Suiseiseki, but it's clear that the voters were keen to avoid giving a victory to Mercury Lampe. This was another surprising result, and the closest of the group finals.

In the waning hours of the vote, Suigintou was actually leading Louise, but when you have strong separation early, you will have to make up the margin very quickly. Here, Louise just had enough to win this group. By 25 votes. If this were a match of The Contender, we're looking at a narrow split decision.

It's onward to the Saimoe 2007 quarterfinals! Keep tuning in to BoBA for continuing coverage of this event.
