4 girls have come to take the most coveted prize in the ISML which is the heavenly tiara. All 4 of them have gone through matches in which what made them the champion.
2008 - Fate Testarossa (won tiara as the 1st seed after the Regular Season)
2009 - Katsura Hinagiku (won tiara as the 11th seed after the Regular Season)
2010 - Akiyama Mio (won tiara as the 3rd seed after the Regular Season)
2011 - Misaka Mikoto (won tiara as the 2nd seed after the Regular Season, 1st time in Single Elimination Format)
Nominations have taken place last January and this season will feature 2 divisions - Stella and Nova.
Nova Division features new characters within the last two years, plus some exceptions.
All the rest would belong to Stella Division.
84 girls from each division are now qualified for the Preliminary Round.
The time has come again to start the season for International Saimoe League. This year will be pretty much different as we will see more contestants vying up for spots for the regular season.
After 4 years of tough grinding in the preliminaries to be in the top 50 or 72 in the regular season, the need to separate the divisions is a must because there are characters that do well year after year and it seems that they just won't bow out of competition because they just dominate the competition. Also, to give the relatively newer characters a chance to make a run for the big prize - the heavenly tiara, it was needed to give them a slight advantage by not being thrown into the den of the Stella Division.
Now on it's 5th year, it wishes to level up the competition on a whole new level so there are just some things to be excited about. A lot have tried but only 1 will emerge as the victor. Big things are coming, so many stories to be told. Which story will have a happy ending?
