It's a good night for trance as Ben's Sanctuary join Jupiterdonia in the final tonight. Meanwhile for Ennea's first attempt they have a decent showing for such a competitive semi-final but ultimately fall just short of a final placement.

It's good news tonight for our top rewarded nation and graphics wizard Aeroche however it's an unfortunate streak end for one of the big BJSC players in Kathaldazia whose score tonight is largely made up of two top-supporters in Farc and Nelly O'Nwa.

Cow's K-pop offering unfortunately didn't win over enough of the pop base and ends their streak tonight. We also aren't waving any pom-poms for Aelandor tonight who can't join their sister nation in the final. 27th :: A-Konohagakure :: CHANMINA - TEST ME34 points: +8 Mothertopia +5 Hushkanukia +4 Lotunia +4 Ben's Sanctuary +4 Ajanaeda +3 Freidland +3 East Rukahavian +3 Juranabaijan 27th :: Aelandor :: Pom Pom Squad - Villain35 points: +12 Taahino +8 Seyetana +5 Macromia +5 Thelonia +4 Sovarasma +1 Eledan As that is half of the NQ's revealed we will now go back to revealing some good news.

Unfortunately no luck for our returning entrant in D'yermak'er, whose representative TĀLĀ had made the final on her three previous occasions. Meanwhile sadly we also don't have enough room for Flynnonda once more. 28th :: Flynnonda :: crushed - silene33 points: +12 Sandenia +8 Pagasa +4 Mothertopia +4 Hushkanukia +3 Pestolia +1 N DNTN +1 Cumulonimbia 28th :: D'yermak'er :: TĀLĀ - Ghosts34 points: +10 Republique d'Askorza +6 New Lexico +5 Yehesi +5 Altyr Muunilinst +4 Scotland 2 +4 Ojnoj

Sadly for Harmonica, entering a Dan to a Dan contest hadn't worked out. No such luck for Danaeviia's biggest supporters in East Rukahavian either. 31st :: East Rukahavian :: The Hidden Cameras - Undertow18 points: +10 Bronzil +4 FARC +2 N DNTN +2 Aeroche 31st :: Harmonica :: Dan Black - Wonder27 points: +8 Niceland +6 Dobago +4 The Spodic Empire +4 Fljotavik +3 Aelandor +1 Republique d'Askorza

Our unfortunate last placers come from Pagasa whose late votes just prevented a 33% deduction into single digit points, otherwise our prior contest runner-up hadn't such a good time finishing right at the other end with the least number of supporters across the whole contest. 32nd :: Pagasa :: Cameron Winter - Nausicaä (Love Will Be Revealed)11 points: +7 Cumulonimbia +3 Hushkanukia +1 Herbilore 32nd :: Lentyll :: Hiro Shinosawa - SUNFADED16 points: +10 Persephonia +6 Trifoski
