a_bit_of_wit_2Day 23/24 of CB12:
Round 2 is over, but not without some turmoil amongst the ranks. The Quarterfinal field is now set, and as I've already mentioned, the points are doubled again. Each battle is now worth 100 points.
To this point, every favorite (except for 2 upsets and a battle where there was no favorite) has advanced, which will make the remaining 16 battles interesting. What favorites will make it out of the Quarters and into the Semis?
Of the 19 potential champions, two possible characters have been eliminated; I won't say who they are until the contest is over, when I reveal who chose who. Even if your champion is eliminated, it may still be mathematically possible to win it all, so keep voting--just ask Alberto Contador, who just won this year's Tour de France without winning a single stage.
However, the biggest piece of news is that at the end of Round 2, we have our first lead change of the contest. After a 23-day run at the top, Eyes yielded first place after the two below her nailed the last 4 battles. Well done, Eyes--but keep at it. You're certainly not out.
