The more I look at the cup the more it looks like a tapeworm's head or some antediluvian bust depicting the Great Race of Yith. A damnable relic. Can its owner truly be proclaimed victorious?

[碇 シンジン 27,432]

This is looking good. Well done!

[Hierok 11,832]

It's getting better with the second. 

[Toastypk 923]

Looks good! Though I think it would help if it would show which two the winner would be joining in the image.

I was thinking about that too as it might influence who voters want to see on a team together.

I took the liberty of creating two possible layouts if we wanted to account for them:

POSSIBLE OPTION 1

The first one being a simple insertion in the top corners, not much explanation but there shouldn't need to be I trust those that see it will understand that the top two are not part of the picks for this round.  Possibly move the "Group 1" up after "Wild Card Round" to show who is already in group one.

POSSIBLE OPTION 2

This option is a little busier but it flat out says who is going to be in Group 2 and who you are choosing to join with those already in it.  Granted like I said it is a little busier and could create some confusion of who is actually "VS" here.

These were just the two options I came up with if we wanted to account for those already in each group which we don't even have to in the first place.

When does the voting start @Jeric? 

[Hierok 11,832]

@ShootingStar159 Nice. All our votes are the same. 

[The Kaeya Simp 13,989]

SWEET CELESTIA, ALL OF OUR VOTES ARE THE SAME, MABEY ALL OF THE VOTERS WERE PART OF THE DELICIOUS LEGION

SERIOUSLY EVERYPONY, GET OUTA MA MIND, IT'S NOT BEEN CLEANED IN YEARS

[Oleks 1,993]

Well, another proof that Royal Guards are laughably weak - even a little toothless gator beats them.

[Prospekt 11,018]

I voted for...

Gummy! Because honestly, he's the only sane character in the entire show.

Sonata Dusk! Because I like the idea of a Dazzling/Siren on the same team as Octavia. Also, Sonata is cute.

Captain Celaeno! Because it's time to be awesome.

And... Little Strongheart! Because let's be honest, she's a character with great potential that wasn't really explored again... :/

[Totally Nyx 36,086]

Let's see. Voting for my favorite of the four as well as the one from the other set who will obtain the least support. What, no, this is legit. 

Anyway, as such my true votes are going for Sonata and the captain.

[Toastypk 923]

I like Celeano but I picked Flash Magnus, he cool.

Something tells me he doesn't get too much love.

[cmarston1 5,959]

After Captain Celaeno lost last time, even after a tiebreaker, I am glad that it looks like she is finally getting some justice in the MLPF world cup.

[Jeric 46,854]

Ooooh. Got a close one here.

Indeed! Actually, it's time to push for a character who made Rainbow Dash look like a chump! GO LITTLE STRONGHEART!!!

[Mirage 24,771]

I aer little strongheart.

[Frostgage 7,975]

As expected both 4 vs. 5 matchups are very close. Mare-Do-Well vs. Little Strongheart has been back and forth all day, while Sonata has kept Igneous Pie at arm's (hoof's?) length but now holds just a two vote lead.

I've always loved how Sonata seemed wholly uninterested the Dazzlings' plans (or anything else for that matter) half the time xD

Wow! Look at Strongheart go! That actually surprised me. Only a few minutes remaining before poll closes and we finally decide on a team roster for Team Everfree and Team Maretonia

I'm tempted to make an MLB reference, but I'll resist.
