Rules:

- Listen to both of the songs. Links have conveniently been provided for both songs. Even if Song A is your favorite of all-time and Song B is from a series you hate... Listen. To. Both. (If I have suspicions your vote is not based on a fair and impartial preference, it will be disqualified.)
- Obvious contest rules apply (no alts, one vote per person, no rallying, etc.).
- Please make your voting options clear, rather than burying them in text.
- Each set of matches lasts 24 hours, even if the new one isnt up by then.
- Always vote on the versions of the song provided, not versions from different sources.
- If you know ahead of time that you're not going to be around and you want to vote in advance, post your choices in the discussion/bracket topic.
- Please do NOT post tallies/score updates in the middle of the match, as this has a tendency to directly influence matches.
- You don't have to vote in all the matches, but it'd be cool if you did!

weird musing: there are exactly three retirees in today's matches, and that is probably very uncommon

anyway easy matches but the other two songs are fine

I-really-hope-this-ends-up-well day.

-First match is like a football match between Mexico (LgDM) and Argentina (RitD): Laguerra is the underdog here and has to prove itself that it can beat a favorite to win, because then it will probably win against everyone in its path. But Rivers is a roadblock... a giant, fearsome behemoth who has to be taken down. The chances for victory here are slim, but there they are. It's now or it's never.

-Second match is one of the toughest matches I've faced on the whole contest. Both songs are amazing; that's a given to Preserved Valkyria due to its rock abilities, but it has uninteresting parts to it and it's too short, while TQoS is constant in quality and has a catchy beat. Having a consistent song vs. an inconsistent one around the same level is always going to be problematic, and this is no exception (the worst part is, that is a pretty common situation).
