Team Performances

Team 1 (Rishabh Tiwari): Known for their victory with ace superhero Super Commando Dhruv, earning a bonus point. However, unfavorable results in a couple of close matches led to their elimination.

Team 2 (Prakash Sharma): Managed a significant win with Nagraj but were already out of contention for the next round by their last match.

Team 3 (Mohit Trendster): Consistently strong with multiple wins and a record-setting four bonus points in a single season, marking a Comics Character League milestone.

Team 4 (Khushi K.): Achieved a dominant victory with Inspector Steel and narrowly missed qualification, finishing with 9 points in 7 matches.

Team 5 (Smit Singh): Had a dismal performance, facing strong opponents in the initial stages.

Team 6 (Manoj Kumar Garg): Notable for their win with Ram-Raheem and a couple of close victories.

Team 7 (Mohan Lal Mourya): Achieved a record victory with Bankelal, earning a bonus point, and had to use their other trump card, Bhokal, in Round 1.

Tie-Breaker after Round 2 - Comics Character League S2

The second round of Comics Character League Season 2 is nearing its conclusion, with the final battle of this round still ongoing. One team, Team 3 (Mohit Trendster), has already secured its place in the finals. The second finalist will be determined based on the outcome of the last battle (Chacha Chaudhary vs. Lomdi). If Team 7 wins this battle (which seems unlikely), they will qualify for the finals. However, if Team 7 does not win, the remaining three teams from Round 2 will have equal points, and there isn't a significant difference in their vote shares.

Team 6 (Manoj Kumar Garg)

Team 7 (Mohan Lal Mourya)

Team 8 (Ravi Yadav)

Therefore, the CCL organizers have decided to give these three teams one more opportunity to secure a place in the finals. To determine which team among them will advance, a Tie-Breaker Battle will be held among the three teams. In this Tie-Breaker, one character from each of the three teams will be put into the battle. The team whose character receives the most votes will earn a spot in the finals.

The Tie-Breaker Battle will take place after the results of the final battle of Round 2 are announced, which means it will occur tomorrow, and the schedule for the finals will be adjusted accordingly.

To ensure fairness in the Tie-Breaker, the decision has been made that only villain characters will be used. Each team has two villain characters, and they can choose one of these for the battle. If a team feels that their current villain character isn't strong enough, they can swap it for another villain character, even from a different publication, for this round. There will be no toss for this Tie-Breaker; each team should decide on their villain character based on their own and their opponents' characters.
