Match Day 9 of the 2015 International Saimoe League Preliminaries has concluded, and we now have our field. In Nova Group 1, Umi Sonoda (2793 votes), Origami Tobiichi (2640 votes) and Satone Shichimiya (2612 votes) are through. In Nova Group 2, Eli Ayase (2707 votes), Yukina Himeragi (2387 votes) and Terminus Est (2307 votes) have punched their tickets.

As second-year Nova qualifiers, Origami Tobiichi, Yukina Himeragi, Azusa Azuki and Misaki Shokuhou are eligible for the Stella Division next year.

In Stella Group 1, Kirino Kousaka (2568 votes), Mikan Yuuki (3074 votes) and Haruhi Suzumiya (3116 votes) are through. In Stella Group 2, Holo (3094 votes), Yuki Nagato (2940 votes) and Nyarlathotep (2595 votes) return to the main draw.

In Stella Group 3, C.C. (2631 votes), Momo Velia Deviluke (2803 votes) and Yui Hirasawa (2712 votes) have qualified, while in Stella Group 4, Kobato Hasegawa (2985 votes), Nadeko Sengoku (2556 votes) and Charlotte Dunois (2673 votes) are back.

In Male Group 2, L Lawliet (2217 votes), Yato (2402 votes) and Izaya Orihara (2468 votes) are in. In Male Group 3, Shidou Itsuka (2396 votes), Ayumu Aikawa (2115 votes) and Rentarou Satomi (2646 votes) are through to the main draw, while in Male Group 4, Ryuunosuke Akasaka (2237 votes), Raku Ichijou (2495 votes) and Shirou Emiya (2755 votes) round out the Male Division draw.

In Winter Seasonal action, Megumi Katou thrashed Lilith Bristol 4242-2427, Yuudachi defeated Eriri Sawamura Spencer 3806-3230, Kongou flattered Julie Sigtuna 4525-2355 and in the Upset of the Round, Utaha Kasumigaoka stunned Shimakaze 3813-3225. All signs point to a battle between Saekano and KanColle for that championship.

Match Day 10 of the 2015 International Saimoe League Preliminaries, which actually is the Winter Season Semis and Seeded but is named as Preliminaries 10 for simplicity purposes, is scheduled for May 12, 2015. Vote for your favorites at InternationalSaimoe.com and join the ongoing debate.
