The Vessel: 300MB
It is said that before computers were created in Alola, 300MB appeared to the Alolans as a gift from the gods. In the present day, The Aether Foundation has researched that 300MB can cause stable wormholes to appear. Gone from the grasps of Lusamine and now in the hands of Colress, 300MB serves as what is now dubbed as The Vessel. A vessel that connects Alola to silence,dreams,sounds,and moods. The unknown and Alola have been unwillingly connected and 300MB is responsible.
300MB'S SOURCELIST:
>>_Music sampled in Neil’s Mouth Albums<<
>>_Artists primarily sampled in Mouth Moods<<
>>_Music used in “Cursed” Advertisements<<

Characters: The LR1 Bracket Contestants
Art donated by their respective creators. Please reference earlier tracks, there are too many names and not enough space in this description for them all. Bracket design made by San_KA#9984.

Once again, the beginning of a round has come! Unfortunately, we arrive at the first round of the Losers' Bracket, meaning that there is no more safety net for these eight contestants. One more loss and the loser is knocked out of bracket and is no longer in the running for their own exhibit. An unfortunate consequence of the bracket format, but one that we must ultimately step through.

NEON J. VS. THE NUMBER ONES
DELILAH "MOM" DETAILS VS. PROFESSOR HENRY HIDGENS
COPY THAT, COPYCATS! VS. PEARL HOUZUKI
EDDY, THE ULTIMATE SCAM ARTIST VS. HALF OF A LIFETIME

Only four can move on to Losers' Round 2. Choose wisely.

On the other hand, for the sake of clarification, whether of definition or intent, some contestants are getting their sources tweaked! These are not buffs or nerfs, moreso what we originally intended that got lost in translation.

-Neon J. now gets all media featuring NSR musicians alongside their projects and not just games. Also we're removing stating hybrid rhythm games in the sourcelist because of redundancy- they already fall under non-traditional rhythm games and it's going to make the source way easier to read.
-CTC's vocoded vocals source has been simplified to synthesized vocals, and their "Earthbound-inspired games" source is now just Postmodern RPGs.
-Half of a Lifetime's "Original YouTube Animation" source is now "Indie YouTube Animation", because pulling Rare Americans and stuff made it janky as hell.
