'''Laqy's "Shinji Award Averted!" Rankings'''

3rd Place: Erwin and Michiel - These two have some excellent offensive capabilities, and along with Michiel's strategic approach, it's what has kept them alive for this long. But now that the gung-ho fighters are all out of the way, Erwin's lack of formal training, Michiel's lackluster strategic abilities when compared to the two other participants, and a shortage of strong defensive abilities secure their place in third.

2nd Place: Tanis and Cao Cao - With the obvious choice out of the way, the final decision becomes much more difficult. But everything considered, I have to put Tanis and Cao Cao in second place. A lot of other votes have emphasized their intelligence and planning abilities, but I don't think only three days of prep time will be nearly enough for them to utilize those abilities in a way that creates a foolproof strategy for them to achieve victory. Having Hector on their side would be a help with his binding magic, but I doubt it'll be enough to deal with someone as mobile as Marshall is, and he'll also have to expose himself to Odysseus in the process. A scenario in which they win will be too circumstantial, and I just can't see it happening. If given more time and knowledge, then they would stand much better chance at winning, but that's not case.

1st Place: Marshall and Odysseus - The final pair will have a hard fought battle in front of them, but I am confident that they're capable of it. Marshall and Odysseus have the raw offensive and versatile abilities to pull off a win without relying too much on planning that, considering the time frame, will be pretty shaky. Odysseus is no slouch when it comes to planning either, thanks to Athena's blessing, and I just don't think that Tanis and Cao Cao are capable of coming up with a strategy that'll overcome two foes who outmatch in any normal scenario in such a timeframe. They're plenty prepared to take Tanis and Cao Cao down in a straight-up fight, and when these two pairs are all that are left, I think that that will be inevitable.
