Fun fact: 20.83% of the music we'll hear throughout this competition is POTO

Great

Phantom empower Asian skaters for some reason... blame on Patrick Powerrrrr of the music of the nighttttt....

I think 12th is good enough. Canada and Korea ended up 11th and 12th in Ladies and will send 2 skaters next year, so the same logic applies here (unless there is something I am not aware of).

iirc if a country has only one skater, he needs to get top ten to earn another spot. If there are two or more then the top two need to have placements that add up to <13

You know, maybe there's something to skating to Phantom. Everyone who is seems to be doing quite well tonight.

Ronald Lam :shocked:

 

[Sugarpova]

Next season ISU will probably make it an official requirement to have one either in SP or FS.

If I could get my custom title to change I'd totally make it "Go Phantom, or Go Home"

I do like this guy's costume though, it's got a bit of colour in it.

I guess the most colorful will be Yuzu's :think:

 

[HanDomi]

ok, only one POTO left, and we can take a big breath before it happens

Actually a pretty good skate for Lam. Too bad can't concentrate because of the music.

 

[treeloving]

Lam had a great skate though, despite POTO.

Ok, I get it now.

That is why, I was surprised about KR getting two spots for next year, especially because the other skater bombed.

iirc if a country has only one skater, he needs to get top ten to earn another spot. If there are two or more then the top two need to have placements that add up to <13

That reminds me, what about countries that don't have enough good skaters to use two or three spots? Like I'm pretty sure Misha's the only Uzbekistani skater so what happens if he gets in the top ten?

This was a nice skate, Ronald Lam! I think he'll break the finishing at the bottom of the scoreboard voodoo.

 

[Alchamei]

Great, done with POTO for now! The only one left is Yuzuru's one and that will give me headache for different reasons.

 

[evangeline]

Great skate for Lam!

His coach seems even more excited about the skate than him, though

 

[skira1717]

Wait what?
Also do you have a Japanese stream?

I only have my own stream on Slingbox.
I can make it for you guys but I don't know how to...

 

[ruffledgrouse]

I do too but it should be kinda balanced
For such an unprofessional as me its great help to hear the comments about elements

I like them to identify the elements, note any special features or mistakes, and then shut up and save the analysis for the replays. The BESP guys are good at that.
