We conclude the Saucy 16 today with the BOLTMAN Region, which, fun (not really fun) fact, has the lowest combined seeds of the four regions, which sounds like the chaos that BOLTMAN would have. The other three regions had the 1 or the 2 seed still in it as of this round (with the SHAN’KHOR Regional being the only one with the 1 & 2), but the highest seed remaining here is the 3 seed. I don’t know if it means anything (other the committee did a shitty job in this region) but it seems like the thing analysts would rant about and spend way too many words on, so I figure I can do the same thing and pretend that there’s correlation or causation even though there’s only maybe correlation and definitely not causation. Stats!

To those polls!

The Ice Milk Eight will run starting tomorrow and please note that polls may run at a different time, most notably they may end a little earlier so write-ups can actually be done in time. ALTERNATELY, the Penultimate Four will run the afternoon of the 29th. This will all lead to the championship match being featured on the Saturday night evening thread, followed by the revealing of the champion and the full list of comments with corresponding authors.
