Hey, everyone! I finally had the motivation to complete everything I needed for this project to start.

KEEP YOUR EARS OPEN is a spiritual sequel to EYES ON THE PRIZE, a minitourney I ran in Coded Collisions and other such servers. However, I had more ideas that I wanted to work with, and wanted to flex my creative muscles even more... so, with sixteen new competitors, and an aesthetic LOOSELY based on the MILGRAM series on YouTube, here we are.

I'm excited to show off what I have in store, more than you could EVER imagine, so here's a sneak peak at ROUND 1 of the tournament. Enjoy!

Oh, and for those of you already following the tournament, I've made a few alterations and buffs to the characters:

Future minitourney tracks will be uploaded here: @spring-souls-alt

WIN THE RACE!

A jury of twenty-three. A much better outcome than prior. Two last-minute arrivals, but were they enough to sway votes? Will Krab Borg's overdone sourcelist be his downfall? Or will the original character curse carry through to the ULTIMATE ANNIHILATOR?

One stands, one falls to losers with their first guilty verdict. Only one can remain in winners, and that honour falls to...

Holo-Hip-Hop Out of Context Compilation

And thus, losers round two comes to an end, and with twenty-five jurors to boot. I must admit, it's a shame to have reached the halfway point-

[ TRANSMISSION LOST. ASPECT LOCATED. DATA RETRIEVAL IN PROGRESS. ]

...Oh dear. It seems it's time for our last host to do his job.
...Some of you will recognize him from somewhere else, I'm sure.
...But rest assured, he has promised total separation from his origin point.
...Let's see how our two-striked performers deal with his... eccentricities.

One stands, one falls. Only one can remain in losers, and that honour falls to...
