Welcome to the Final Round of the 2021 NewGrounds Audio DeathMatch!
This year's artwork done by the amazing @travsaus - go check out the page for this art and follow him for his future works!
This is it - the round where the best of the best compete for the top spot! For one last time, every one of our four finalists will be making a piece in two weeks to face off in a four-person free-for-all - no brackets, no walls, no worries!
As before, all members who participated in the previous round will be getting reviews by judges. We will be making sure to catch up on those if we haven't gotten to them already, but for the previous round every piece should have at least three reviews on them.
Before we get into scores, if you had a piece from this round that was your favorite, drop it in the Fan Favorites thread! There's prizes for the top songs in each round, so if there's something you liked the most, give it a shout! If it's hard to decide, or you wanna give something specifically to the winners, you can also donate to the prize pool! More info on that in the rules thread.
Now, without further delay...
Moving on first to the Final Round, beating out their fellow competitor with a total score of 430 to 401.5, @GameBoyFireworks has successfully defeated @satanicpotatoe !
In the second corner of the arena, having won another battle with a total score of 433.5 to 375.5, @LD-W has taken the throne above @DawMii and is moving on!
Our third competitor for the final round fought a hard and well-won battle in the last round, emerging with a total score of 440 over 419. @TheVodouQueen is moving on over @eliasalija !
Last, but certainly not least, of the competitors to enter the final round entered with a score of 391.5 to 365. @SenseiTree has fallen in the wake of our final competitor, @MaldivirDragonwitch !
For all of the competitors who did not make it into this round, you all are part of the backup pool. In the case that any one of the four finalists have to drop for whatever reason, you have the option of filling in for them, and I encourage you to create a song alongside them if that is your intent. To the main competitors, keep an eye out in the next couple of weeks, as you'll be notified of details involving a collaboration episode with @TheNewgroundsPodcast where we will reveal the final results live.
The time is neigh for the final round. For one last time this year... COMPETITORS, BEGIN!
EDIT: To clarify, the songs for the Final Round are due by 11:59 pm EST on October 17. Judging will take place in the week following.
