>>34949274NTA but white's grouping could be seen as kinda Marine-centric. It doesn't have as defined as units as red team, but Marine, Lamy & Kanata are a common trio. She's also close with Koyori & Chloe. Then it just kinda feels like yellow team was rejects + the Disney trio.
It just feels incredibly difficult to believe it was formed naturally given red team's composition. I don't think it's as simple as "She wants Red to win this year" like the other anon said, but I do think they prioritized grouping friends > balance and didn't actually go full random. Sora & Azki being split is the only really odd one.
>>34950538ENs mentioned last year the time was pretty bad for them. It was a long stream that started in the middle of the night so it was difficult and many didn't really want to attend.
