I was pretty certain that Murasaki would win so the manga could have more mirror matches. Lyudmila is definitely the cooler character, but her power is kinda lame, so this came as a bit of a surprise.
Thank you for the upload, I'm glad she was able to have a final conversation with her oshi while Lyudmila clarified things for her. I'm glad that also didn't shake her admiration for her oshi. Its somewhat of a shame that Lyudmila didn't get to keep her fanfiction in the end. Though I do think the wrong analogy is being used here while yes sniping was involved as well as changing the arena to be more advantageous for one of the competitors I think the more appropriate example would be is this is a much better version of ROR round 10 with a fan taking on the one they admire and the constant oshi glaze as well as the mirror match "expert" vs expert perspective and theme of the round rather then illusions vs WW2 sniper theme of ROR round 11.
Also history repeats itself with Lyudmila losing another fan this time via her own hands.
I also get the feeling from her stance at the end but if she wasn't missing an arm she would have saluted the fangirl's passing.
