The MEGAMICLICK contest is moving into its late-stage bracket play this weekend, shifting from the earlier all-play round setup to the knockouts. Ahead of the main final phase, the event also includes a tiebreak to determine the final spot in the round that follows.

How the bracket phase works and what’s different this time

The knockout portion resumes with a tennis-style bracket structure and continues through to the end alongside the main competition featuring head-to-head matchups (1 vs 1). The contest also features an additional tiebreak match to set the last placement in the subsequent round.

• The contest runs polls for match voting during the bracket phase.
• A “bonus waifu” system is in effect, giving extra weight to votes from the male audience.
• Because the competition is already well underway, the organizers introduce a minimum points threshold required to vote, prioritizing the most committed part of the community.
• The match count referenced corresponds to the full bracket number shown in the contest’s dedicated blog.
• Voting results are revealed after the relevant poll deadline, with timing noted as earlier in the blog.
• Beyond voting numbers, comments and statements of support are open as usual.
