ISML 2020 was the 13th edition of the International Saimoe League contest. The competition began in July 1st 2020, and ended in the midnight of Chinese New Year, February 12th 2021, in Beijing time.

The staff yet again made significant changes to this year's Main Tournament, bringing the number of participants up to 120, down from last year's 72. The preliminary period was re-implemented, with a completely different format compared to its last usage in 2015. The regular season also changed as well -- it's now split into three group stages, with the latter two each lasting for three periods and consisting of 15 matches.

Jewelry exhibitions return since their last awarding in 2014. These awards were given to males for the first time. The jewelries format was changed into instant-runoff voting, similar to necklaces and pendants. Likewise, the accessory names were also changed; a single type is now awarded for each gender: bracelets for females, and rings for males.

ISML 2011 winner Mikoto Misaka, the returning female champion, immediately became one of the tournament favorites thanks to her active fanbase and Railgun T's broadcast during the contest. Proving her claim as ISML's "Greatest of All Time", Mikoto lost only two regular season matches and reached the grand final of the playoffs, but she ultimately lost the Tiara to Oregairu's Yukino Yukinoshita.

In the male division, Kaguya-sama lead male Miyuki Shirogane won this year's Scepter after defeating two-time finalist Sakuta Azusagawa in the title match. Shirogane dominated throughout all stages of the tournament, having secured first place in nominations and seedings, and leading the male division in wins, voting numbers, and percentages. He also finished the tournament undefeated and untied, making him the third male champion to complete a perfect season, and becoming the first-ever debutant to achieve such a feat (regardless of sex).

Lelouch vi Britannia, the first returning male champion, made his regular season debut this year. He was eliminated in the second wildcard round.

Major Format Changes

Pre-season

Qualified nominees increased from 72 to 120. However, the presence of direct invites means that only 64 females and 72 males will qualify directly to the regular season.
Preliminary period and seeding rounds return this year, their last appearance being in 2015.

Regular season

Participants increased from last year's 72 to this year's 96.
The regular season format is changed; it is now split into 3 group stages.
- Split 1: 96 participants; Aquamarine
- Split 2: 64 participants; Topaz, Amethyst, Sapphire
- Split 3: 32 participants; Emerald, Ruby, Diamond.
Wildcard rounds this year will now be held after the end of the first two group stages, namely: after Aquamarine and Sapphire.

Exhibition awards

Jewelry exhibitions (aka consolation gems) return after their last appearance in 2014. The award will also be given to males for the first time. The award's format is now similar to the necklace / pendant rounds: decided through Instant-runoff voting.

Details of each stage's format will be shown in their respective sections.

Nomination Results

NOMINATION RULES

IMPORTANT CONDITIONS:
- Minimum 2 male and 2 female
- Maximum of 4 persons per franchise
- At least of 5 shows/franchises must be represented
- Any violation of these conditions will render your entire ballot VOID.
Invalid entries are discarded independently, and will not void your ballot unless it results in a violation of the conditions mentioned above.
All nominations have equal weight and have no ranking.
Nominations must be unique. E.g. don't try listing Shinobu Oshino, Oshino Shinobu, and Kiss-Shot as three separate entries; It will only count as one nomination for Shinobu, and the latter two entries are discarded.
You can only submit the ballot once, so you gotta take your sweet time on who to nominate as there's no second chances. It's the reason why this phase lasts 7 days.
EVERY. SINGLE. NOMINATION. COUNTS. Your waifu got 107th or below in the nominations? Tough luck for ya, you're gonna carry that salt through the entire year 'cause your waifu's gonna sit the entire year out.

Nomination period lasts seven days.
Only 106 (female) and 114 (male) characters with the highest nominations will make it in the Preliminary rounds. If multiple nominees are tied for last place, then those tied contestants will advance to Preliminaries regardless of the nomination limit.
Nominating Direct Invites and the 8 most recent champions are NOT ALLOWED.
If a female does not qualify for the main tournament, but has enough nominations necessary to qualify for the Winter or Spring seasonal contest, she will compete there instead.

^RD ^{- This year will be their Regular season debut (first appearance).}
^OLD ^{(Old Debutant) - Character's anime series is at least two years old at the time of their qualification. This means that the character has had chances to get past ISML nominations, but failed.}
^{[Note 1] Although Waver Velvet originally appeared in Fate/Zero, he recieved many nominations largely because of his eponymous role in the 2019 anime Lord El-Melloi Case Files, an anime which also had that year's Summer seasonal winner.}
^{[Note 2]}^{Enkidu (Fate/Grand Order) is genderless, but is entered under the male division because the mythological figure it is based on is male. In the Aquamarine period, their ISML name was changed following complaints from a Tieba thread. More details can be found here. Since this wiki does not outright reveal spoilers, it will use the name "Enkidu" instead (quotes included).}
^{[Note 3] ISML name: Senku Ishigami (family name included).}
^{[Note 4] A three-way tie happened between Sasuke Uchiha, Inosuke Hashibira, and Dio Brando for the last 2 direct qualification spots for the regular season. Since Sasuke has won an ISML match and the other two don't, the last spot was resolved using the recent anime release rule: Inosuke (Demon Slayer) 2019, Dio (JJBA Part 3) 2015.}
^{[Note 5] ISML name: Satoshi (original Japanese name; named after Pokemon creator Satoshi Tajiri.)}

Inosuke had already qualified for the regular season in a tiebreaker rule against Dio, due to having a more recent anime release (2019 > 2015).}

Gem and Wildcard Rounds

Format

After every period, the top 8 players based on necklace / pendant crietria will qualify for the necklace / pendant round. These criteria only applies to that particular period only.

Qualification Criteria:

Period Wins (if tied, draws will be counted)
CVPt.D (Cumulative vote points difference)
CVPts (Cumulative vote points)
Staff selection

Gem Rounds format:

Instant-runoff vote (IRV) format. Rank your favorites in order of preference.
The winner receives the Necklace (females) or Pendant (males) of the respective period, plus a Shiny New Poster™ made by the staff themselves. They will also receive a Direct Invite on next year's tournament should they fail to win it all this year.
Each contestant can only win a necklace/pendant once per year. Once they win this award, they will be banned from participating in further gem rounds on that year.
On the other hand, jewelry winners are allowed to participate (and possibly win) a necklace / pendant match, since jewelry awards are practically worthless outside of cosmetics.

Instant-runoff voting (IRV) format explained

VOTING METHOD: Voters rank the contestants in order of preference, from 1st to 8th.

All ranked contestants will receive your vote in the entire counting process, but priority will be given to the one who has the first choice (or second, or third, and so on).
Alternatively, a voter may choose to abstain voting for a contestant. Abstained contestants will not receive your vote during the entire counting process.

VOTE COUNTING PROCESS:

Results start by counting the first-choice votes in the first round. If someone earns a majority (more than 50% of all votes), that player wins and the counting ends. If there is no majority, then the contestant with the least amount of votes is eliminated. The counting process then continues for another round.
The eliminated contestant's votes are transferred to their voters' respective second choices for the next round, and that vote will stick to them until the contestant is eliminated.
If their second choice is eliminated, their vote will be transferred to the next highest contestant. (Third, fourth, and so on.)
When a voter's choices are eliminated before the final round, their vote will be exhausted, meaning their vote will no longer count for the remaining contestants.
This cycle of transferring and eliminating repeats until a majority vote is declared, or there are only two contestants left, in which case the contestant with the higher votes wins.

EXAMPLE: Suppose a necklace match happens between Saber, Rem, Megumin, Holo, Emilia, Shiro, Tohru, and C.C.

Our example voter chooses Saber as his 1st choice, Rem 2nd, Megumin 3rd, and Holo 4th, and ABSTAIN for the other girls.
Saber is eliminated in Round 1, so in Round 2, his vote is added to Rem's tally instead.
Megumin loses in Round 2, and those who voted her as first choice will have their votes transferred to their next highest choices. Our example voter is unaffected.
Surprise! Rem goes out in Round 3! Because Megumin (3rd choice) is already out, his vote will be transferred to Holo (4th choice) instead.
Round 4 eliminates C.C.
Round 5 eliminates Tohru.
Round 6 unfortunately spells the end of the road for Holo, leaving only Shiro and Emilia to contend for the necklace.
Since our voter abstained for the remaining contestants, his vote will not count towards either of them, i.e. exhausted. If we consider their interests, the result will not matter to them because all of their choices are out.

Wildcard format:

2020's wildcard rounds will only occur two times: after Aquamarine (24 players) and Sapphire (20 players).
Selected players will be placed into an approval voting match. Top 8 players will survive for the next stage, and the rest will say goodbye to this contest.

Jewelry exhibitions

Consolation Gems, known officially as "Jewelry Exhibitions", are secondary gem awards which are held alongside the main gem rounds under the Exhibition title. The awards are purely cosmetic; they have no effect on a contestant's season standings or future qualifications.

This year, the consolation gems will be contested between eight next-best performers of each period who have never won any ISML award before. The gems are named bracelets for females, and rings for males.

Jewelry winners are banned from partcipating in this year's further rounds. However, they can still qualify and contend for necklaces and pendants.

Format

Qualification Criteria:

Fewer ISML awards. (Any award that puts them in a poster counts.)
Older year of first ISML award win
Wins (period only)
Older ISML main tournament debut appearance, including preliminaries. Male Exhibitions from 2011-2014 do NOT count.
'Necklace/Pendant Ranking' (Wins ---> CVPt.D in practice)

Characters already qualified for the period's necklace/pendant round are not allowed.
In this wiki, contestants who have won an ISML award before (Seasonal, Exhibition, Necklace/Pendant, Consolation Gems, Divine Circlet/Crown, Tiara/Scepter) will only appear in later periods.

Format:

Instant runoff voting (IRV) format. Rank contestants in order of preference from 1st to 8th. The character with the highest choice is given the vote; if that character is eliminated, your vote will be transferred to your next highest choice.
Alternatively, a voter may choose to abstain voting for a contestant. Abstained contestants will not receive your vote during the entire counting process.

IRV Vote Counting explained

VOTE COUNTING PROCESS:

Results start by counting the first-choice votes in the first round. If someone earns a majority (more than 50% of all votes), that contestant outright wins and the counting ends. If there is no majority, then the contestant with the least amount of votes is eliminated. The counting process then continues for another round.
The eliminated contestant's votes are transferred to their voters' respective next-highest choices for the next round, and that vote will stick to them until their chosen contestant is eliminated.
When all of a voter's choices have been eliminated before the final round, their vote will be exhausted --- meaning that their vote will no longer be counted for the remaining contestants.
This cycle of transferring and eliminating repeats until a majority vote is declared, or there are only two contestants left, in which case the contestant with the higher votes wins.

Consolation Matches

Whatever the fuck they decided; idk how this works but one thing's for sure: a character's final ranking DOES NOT NECCESSARILY INDICATE what stage they were eliminated from. Expect someone not appearing in this year's playoffs finish somewhere around 8th to 16th.

written by starryrainynight

1. Create a ranking based on contestant's number of wins during Aquamarine to Diamond period, and their CVP. Obviously those who made it to split 3 will likely have more wins than those who only made it to split 3. This rank will be called Regular Season Rank and serve as the primary tie breaker for the entire Consolation period.

2. Generate Initial Seed value by avaeraging Regular Season Rank with the finish rank for the Diamond Necklace Match day's consolation match.

3. The two contestants with the worst Initial Seed values will meet each other for the 41-42 place match on Elimination day 1. The above match will be worth 1 consolation victory point ( or simply point ). The points will be used to keep track of value of each consolation match, and updating of the seed values. The contestants in a match will split points between each other according to their VF%. Call the points above as ECP, short for elimination consolation points.

4. Seed 17 to 24 will undergo 1vs 1 match against each other during Elimination day 1. These matches will be worth 2 points. The match will be arranged to (1) first minimize rematches, (2) If rematch is unavoidable, have the rematches be as distant in the past as possible, and (3) if rematch isn't a concern, let there be the greatest difference possible for the Regular season Rank. Seed 9 to 16 will undergo 1 vs 1 match against each other during Elimination day 1. These matches will be worth 3 points. Seed 1 to 8 will undergo 1 vs 1 match against each other during Elimination day 2. These matches will be worth 4 points.

5. 4 losers of 2 point matches in step 4 will meet each other on Elimination day 3. These matches are worth 2 points. 4 winners of 2 point matches in step 4 and 4 losers of 3 point matches will meet each other on Elimination day 3. These matches are worth 3 points.

6. The 4 winners in 4 point match in step 4 will meet each other on Elimination day 4. These matches are worth 5 points The match arrangement will be same as step 5. 4 losers in the 4 point matches in step 4 and 4 winners of 3 point matches in step 4 will meet each other in Elimination day 4. These matches are worth 4 points.

7. Calculate ECP for the 8 contestants who lost in the round of 16. Assume Round of 16 is worth 10 points.

8. Generate ECP rank for everyone in the consolidation matches

9. On 1st day of quarterfinal, Have the 8 contestants from step 7 go against 4 characters that were in the 5 point match in step 6, and 4 winners of the 4 point matches in step 6. These matches are worth 10 points.

10. On 2nd day of quarterfinal, have the 8 winners from step 9 go against each other. This match is worth 11 points. Also have the 8 losers from step 9 go against each other. These matches are worth 10 points.

11. Calculuate ECP for the 4 contestants who lost in the quarterfinal. Assume quarterfinal is worth 22 points. These 4 should have ECP from the round of 16 and quarterfinal.

12. On the Semifinal day, have the 4 who lost the quarterfinal go against the 4 who won the step 10. This match is worth 22 points. Also, have the 8 characters who have 1 win and 1 loss from step 9 and 10 go against each other, This match is worth 11 points.

13. Also on the Semifinal day, have the 4 who lost twice in step 9 amd 10 go against each other. Rematch avoidance is prioritized, as always. This match is worth 10 points.

14. On the Finals day, have the semifinal winners meet for the 3 - 4th place match.

15. Calculate ECP for everyone and create ECP rank. Average it with Regular season rank to create final average rank.

17. Have the top 2 in average ranks from the 4 winners of 22 point match in step 12 meet each other for the 5 - 6 th place match. The other 2 winners of 8 point match will meet for 7 - 8 th place match.

18. Have the 4 losers of the 11 point match, and 4 winners of 10 point match in step 12 be split up by the final average rank. Top 2 will meet for 9 - 10th, others will meet for 11 - 20th.

Incidents

Enkidu name change

This section contains SPOILERS for Fate/Grand Order and its anime adaptations.

Enkidu isml — Enkidu / Kingu / Green Lancer's ISML icon.

During the Aquamarine period, the name of Enkidu (Fate/Grand Order) was changed to "Kingu (Enkidu)" after a thread posted in the ISML Tieba claimed that the character displayed in the icon isn't really Enkidu, but a different character with an identical appearance named Kingu. The claim was primarily based on the differing eye colors between the two characters: in the official art, Enkidu is depicted with green eyes, while Kingu's eyes are purple.

SPOILER WARNING: Fate lore explanation (What's the difference?)

TL;DR: The "Enkidu" that we see in the anime is actually NOT them, but is controlled by a different entity named Kingu, who has its own thoughts, personality, and motives. It's spoiler information, but ISML doesn't care.

Enkidu (False Lancer) originally appeared in the spin-off light novel Fate/strange fake, authored by Ryohgo Narita and illustrated by Morii Shizuki. However, this installment has no anime adaptations to date.

Enkidu made his animated debut in the 2019 TV series "Fate/Grand Order: Absolute Demonic Front - Babylonia", an adaptation of the Babylon chapter. However, this version of Enkidu has purple eyes, and markedly displays aspects of a different personality that is noticed by several characters. It is later revealed in the story that his true name is Kingu, the son and husband of the goddess Tiamat. He is actually a soul who was inserted into the green-haired Servant's body, thereby gaining its appearance, powers, abilities, and its voice actress Yuu Kobayashi. Unlike the genderless Enkidu, who is referred to using gender-neutral pronouns, Kingu is called by the other characters using male pronouns after his identity was revealed, and has actually called himself the "son of Tiamat" at one point in the story.

Kingu acts as one of the chapter's main antagonists, and is NOT related to the actual Babylonian mythological figure.

(I need to find sources. I will put them when i do, but it will take a looong time.)

ISML's explanation for the name change to "Kingu (Enkidu)" (by starryrainynight)

"We received appeals from both Chinese Enkidu fans and Kingu fans that time, saying that we used Enkidu name but Kingu avatar. Then staff did researched several websites and the F/GO anime, discussed for several days.

The conclusions are: Enkidu and Kingu are two characters. Kingu is eligible for 2020 Main event, but Enkidu is not. Enkidu will be eligible for 2021. Both Enkidu and Kingu received enough nomination votes, Enkidu more. Because of some reasons, even Enkidu and Kingu fans were not sure about them, did not know which name they should write in nomination period. And we did receive reports that some Kingu fans nominated Enkidu because they did not know whether Kingu is eligible. Several anime sites only listed Enkidu's name, which means most of the casual anime fans were not aware how serious the difference between Kingu (who is definitely male by his own admission) and Enkidu (genderless, but we should default to male since the claimant to the body of Enkidu, Kingu, claimed to be male).

So, our decision is: Because it was too late to do rematch (Aquamarine 1 already finished that time), we keep Kingu avatar and change the name to Kingu (Enkidu), as an interim solution for 2020. Since we now realize the serious of distinction, in 2021 we will strictly differentiate Kingu and Enkidu."

Changed Poster

2020 amet conso N — The former Amethyst exhibition gem poster.

During the playoffs, the poster for the Amethyst bracelet was changed due to copyright concerns. The former image used a fan art of Yui Yuigahama made by the user @yamazacky (やまざき) , and originally posted on Twitter. The original lmage can be found here. It was changed to another Yuigahama picture from the official Oregairu materials.
