well

okay, I mean

I really thought for certain Sealed Vessel would be stronger than Greenpath, and it seemed* like Hollow Knight in general would be stronger this year than last time, so I genuinely thought SV was the favourite for this division, and I had extremely limited hope in a "compromised" version of a vocaloid song (with not enough vocaloid to appeal to fans, and too much association with vocaloid and generally niche song appeal to appeal to anybody else) garnering wide support in its match, so I really didn't see a result like this coming. When I checked bracket supports too, they were evenly split at 12 brackets each, and while that did lift my spirits about it not getting like, totally blown out, I thought for sure that IroniA would still be too niche to appeal to really any of the wider voter base and was convinced that it would be at best on the receiving end of a result like this (truthfully, I was more guessing a score like 22 to somewhere in the 40 to 50 range). So um, yeah, I really am sorry for whining about this match in advance. I like Hollow Knight's soundtrack too as well as the songs selected this time, and didn't mean to punch down on its own limited chances like I did.

*Based on how comfortably Hollow Knight got representation this year, which I hadn't actually realised until yesterday was caused by only a very small set of nominators.
