81 votes! Less than last time, but still a great turn out! We got a closer match than last time, but the winner still has a pretty damn commanding lead. Early on the match tied, but then the winner broke the tie and never let up. Hopefully, they don't get run over next round. As for fans of the loser, you got another shot against Clover in Losers Round 1!

So, it's been one whole ass year of Mean Bean Bracket. Look how far we've come! Almost done with Round 1, completely rebranded, it's honestly amazing. Thank you all for this, the amazing artists, musicians, and writers in backroom, we couldn't have done anything without you. The audience, who's been loyal to the project since Day 1, thank you. This was the original track that started it all, back when the tournament was known as Heart of the Cards. Dreem worked really fuckin' hard on this, so I thought it'd only be fair to reupload it for this special occasion! 

Now for the backroom, I'd like to give personal thank yous to our musicians: dreem!, Carmel, Salem!, David0Mario, uhhh iris lol, Swonky, CK1, weh, BlueThunder, and Limi

As well as our artists: december, Pun, dreem!, mweee, Din, Skydiving, Swonky, Moonior, Prince46, weh, Mini, Moony, and Tiny Ninja

And our writers: NatGeo, RnDm (who also voices Eggman!), Din, and gss

There's also many other team members who have yet to contribute or are simply friends I invited into backroom, as well as team members who left backroom along the way. Thank you to all of you as well!

And finally, thank you to the audience who's supported this project since the beginning!!
