On the second day, the real battle was started fiercely between 16 teams
and 6 N1 Adjudicators. The participant had to do four times battle in the first
preliminary to go to the Octofinal. The first battle of the first preliminary
started in the very morning since there would be three more battle and it would
be really exhausting. But, the a-core made interesting motion so the participant looked so excited to break
them all. After all of those exhausting battles, the acore finally announced 8
teams that can continue to the octofinal and one best N1 Adjudicator of the
day. Those great 8 teams were Destiny’s Child with four victory points which
means they won all the battles. And then ln t, UPIL, Okky Jelly Drink, and Tim
Kita Optimis 2.0 which won three times. And the last were Remah Khong Guan,
Smanisda B and Interracial who won twice. And also for the best N1 goes to Imam
Fahreza. But unfortunately, Interracial did’nt want to continue their journey and resigned. So, team smanisda A who were ranked at 9 directly

teams that got into the octofinal round battled for a round and then selected
to 4 teams only to do the semi final. The semifinalist were Destiny’s Child,
UPIL, ln t, and Okky Jelly drink. Those who made it to the semifinal round was
