Registration : From 1/04 to 04/04 (23:59 CEST)
Entry confirmation : From 05/04 to 10/04

And the complete voting table

[Edweis]

Okay now I want to say a big thank you for all those who voted for Pyreica. You brought my best result since I joined the WL in December, with one of my favorite songs ever that I certainly wasn't confident about.






Tcher-Racoi



Love you guys
(The others too ofc. Maybe.)

 

[Morty]

Ok, first of all, now that I have calmed down a bit, I want to thank everyone for the points. Started off with individual thanks, because I didn't really expect THAT many points, so:

Especially big thanks to for the only 12 , massive thanks to the R nations and for the 10s, to neighbor and for the 8s , to for the 7 that kicked everything off, for 6, Tcher-Racoi and (finally learned the code now) for 5, Tamausia & Deltannor and for 4, for 3, and , Arkodrë, and for 1. Every point counts, so thank you so much to everyone for this.

And thank you to Roman Messer and Cari for making this beautiful piece of music.

And finally, thanks to @Edweis for a great spinoff.

First spinoff win!

And that final almost got Moisantia back to the Top 10 but I'm very happy with our result - seems that quite a few people loved our song

Arkodrë, Balearica Island, Pyreica, Tamausia & Deltannor

[Rmetr0]

Woooooooooo! Congrats, !
I'm so glad for you, Morty, first of all! And for the song as well. It was my , which is not bad at all because all of my top-10 here were 6-12 quality

And omg that top-5 I can't
Thank you all the beautiful guys who enjoyed PVRIS


Tamausia & Deltannor
Pyreica
Tcher-Racoi


Thank you Edweis for the great hosting!

 

[Morty]

Oh, gotta mention that there were actually only 3 songs I didn't like in this spinoff, it was a tough battle for the points. But, my to was one of the easiest decisions ever. Love that remix!

 

[Edweis]

There was actually no song that I disliked, but my was pretty clear once I heard it

 

[doctormalisimo]

Congrats !

 

[Leydan]

wow congrats on our first victory! Great winner for sure. Also thank you for the points to Solentoya everyone.

Great spin off hosting, Edweis You've done a wonderful job and congrats on your own result

 

[Ana Raquel]

whoa from top 3 to bottom 3 hopefully this pattern continues for the next spin offs

thanks for the points ( showing taste as usual ). the moment I got the J I knew Jolin would have been the one. despite having much better songs or at least songs that would get a better result, I decided to make a tribute to my 11~12 y/o self who was just starting to dig into the DDR/PIU world - which both took great part into developing my current music taste. The amount of times I failed the cover of this song.

Jolin might appear on the main contest with a more Tanoiro-ish entry, by the way.

And congrats on your first win, Morty! you're a legend and deserved it

Ed legend thanks for hosting!

 

[berlyda]

Gotta agree with @Morty and @Edweis, it was hard to find a bad song in this spinoff! I'd say the song quality was significantly better than the NSC 180 semis

I said the same during the LL.

 

[Veronika]

Oh wow congrats Balearica Island on your first spinoff win! This is such a nice song, and the artist from my real-life country I didn't know about. I really enjoyed it!

Happy to see Tcher-Racoi and its masterpiece in the top-2. Great debut!

Thanks everyone who voted for Rahasia-Diati, especially Halito and Tcher-Racoi for 12 points.
10th is a nice result.

And of course big thank you Edweis for your nice high-quality hosting!

 

[ferret]

Many thanks to the Ukrainian KAZKA, Khayat, KАZAKY, Kira Mazur, KOZAK SYSTEM, KADNAY etc., that allowed me to send this song to Kaleo!
Thanks for all your votes, especially
Congratulations with a victory and thanks for the suddenly excellent hosting!

 

[Zonne147]

Wow guys, thank you very much I wasn't really expecting this. Couldn't ask for a better debut at a NSC-related contest + I never did better than 7th in other forum contests (and related events too) so :O I'm obviously very happy.

As I have previously stated this was also a song I have listened to for the first time in the forum (I checked, and it was you @AshleyWright - so thank you ) and the I especially stan the "very Greek" instrumental "Siga" has - I'm even more delighted with this top 3 result because of being a Balkan ethnobop

Arkodrë
3rd/74 points





Tamausia & Deltannor

Pyreica




Congrats on your win, I'm really happy for you, especially since you are winning a spinoff for the first time!!

I have to reiterate something that was said here - I haven't disliked a single song, so I'm sorry for the songs that didn't manage to get points from me - almost every song I gave no points tbh. Really. Bigicia took my 12, gorgeous song.

Special mention to @Edweis, wonderful job hosting everything looked amazing

 

[zechhh]

Nice winner, grats to Balearica Island. And thx to Edweis for the great hosting.
