Thank you everyone for that 3rd place! I'm fairly new still but already got two podium finishes, that's great.

Congrats to Halito and thank you @Territrius for hosting.

 

[Karhu]

I was definitely surprised to see being predicted as an NQ in the semi pregomesh and then again out of the top 10 in the final one. It stood out massively to me from the first listen with its powerful melody and storytelling. Congratulations berlyda!

And thank you for all the points for !

 

[takeru]

Yessss I knew it! Congrats Halito, the perfect comeback!

Wonderful hosting @Territrius . Thank you so much for all the customised NSC Only Connect rounds; they must have taken a lot of effort

 

[theditz83]

Congrats - totally didn't get that entry, or predict it to win, but seems like a convincing victory for sure!

Thanks for 13th place with darling Erika - hopefully she can return to UMK next year and romp to victory to get the ESC starring role that she deserves

Full vote of thanks when the voting breakdown is available - lovely hosting @Territrius, pulled it off in style

[Rmetr0]

Omg what an AMAZING winner!
My sincerest congrats to Like I said, both of my top-2 deserved , so mentally I gave you as well

My full points were:

Basta - Cut, Copy & Paste -- WHAT A ROBBERY, but at least won the semi
mehro - exploding
Agent Fresco - See Hell
Dero Goi - Clickbait -- those predictions were unexpectedly low, but congrats on your deserved top-10!
Kiki Rockwell - Cup Runneth Over -- expected way higher...
Sinkane feat. Tru Osborne - Everything Is Everything
Hollow Coves - On the Way -- didn't expect that high
Pendulum - Anti-Hero
Dora Jar - Bump
Madilyn Mei - Partners in Crime

Can't wait to see full semi results lol, forgot to send the message yesterday

Thank you so much @Territrius for the edition, great hosting with great interactive idea of presenting results!

 

[Rmetr0]

And additionally, thank you so much for the semi points, I love you

P.S. I feel like my next most possible entry may be percieved as cringey and I really have no good expectations about it now, despite good first impression when I found it and a strong desire to send it... Not in the best mood now to look for something else to try to be more competitive due to real life worries... But I'll participate anyway and I'll see what turns out of it I'm writing this primarily for myself, so if I feel bad about the result or about how the song is percieved, I remember that I just sent what felt most right to me at the moment and that I had my personal reasons to send exactly that. Thanks for understanding

 

[Rmetr0]

I didn't give 12 to Calypso

Must be Papendink which is next to you in the scoreboard, in the excel it's correct if you gave to Adamsburg

 

[berlyda]

Wow, I thought mehro had a chance of a good placing, but I didn't imagine winning again, especially so soon after the last time Thank you all so much, it was so great to wake up to this

Amazing hosting by @Territrius btw, I really loved the Only Connect style puzzles. Even though I couldn't watch the final results live (my parents are visiting this weekend), I was still following along this morning as I caught up, trying to guess the answers It was a very fun way to reveal the results.

Thank you everyone for your overwhelming support! When I saw that Szimbaya and myself were both in the top 3, I thought for sure my 12 to Ich Kündige would put them above me, but I'm pleasantly surprised to see it wasn't even close

Thanks specifically to:

12 - Doire, Fervorosia, Griffin Empire, Tcher-Racoi, Xochimilia, Yaponesia
10 - Redwood Republic, Serenes, Svobodnia, Szimbaya Kingdom, Tír an Abhainn, Waiting List
8 - Adamsburg, Öösingimäed
7 - Calypso, Ugaly
6 - Orangualia, Roseland
5 - Illumia, Tamausia & Deltannor
4 - New Acadia
3 - Konthena, Rahasia-Diati, Slagensala, Zombira
2 - Effiland, Kordavian Islands, Papendink
1 - Belvist, Cherniya, Comino, MatiMati, New Bander State, Vylkuzeme, Xhuxhmaxhuxh

I've never turned down a hosting opportunity after winning, but unfortunately I will have to break that streak this time. I'm not really in a position to host right now (I've been working pretty much 24/7), and even though the automation tools made it a bit easier last time, it was still pretty time-consuming.

So I guess the question is: will NSC 226 be in Szimbaya Kingdom @marc ?

 

[Veronika]

Congratulations on the convincing win once again!
Definitely a great winner (really sad you won't host!)

Thanks everyone who supported and Dero Goi!
This 8th place is definitely way above my expectations and I'm really happy.

Respect @Territrius for this great creative hosting. These riddles were fun!

 

[Milos-BC]

Congratulations Halito, well deserved victory The song was definitely among the 10 best ones . I am sorry I didn't give more points in the final (compared to the semi), but the final was overwhelmingly strong. Congratulations once again

Congratulations @Territrius as well for the amazing job you did as a host


Thank you everyone who voted for Belvist. This edition we were in chill mode. This is a song that I promised to send when I am PQ, and I knew from the get go that last place is very possible and realistic....but nonetheless I wanted to fulfill the promise and I am glad that some people still loved it. Thank you for all your points On the next edition, a different song will come from Belvist, that is for sure.

And last (but not least ) - Congratulations @Veronika on your amazing result I am proud of you
