ESC Random Cup Results

In the tightest match-up of this contest Bur Man Laimi wins against Ulveham 169-167. They were tied until the last minutes when Bur Man Laimi took the upper hand and won ESC Random Cup.

In the images above you will see the full 80 songs ranking of the contest. Any results that surprised you? I'm a bit sad that recency bias was a main factor in this, considering all 8 Quarterfinalists were from the 2020's when there were less than half from those years overall.

Thank you everyone who voted in this, i truly appreciate it. This contest achieved the goal of making Eurovision 2026 come faster, the 1st semi is in 3 hours and I'm glad i finished just in time.

ESC Random Cup Grand Final

The last match-up is here and I can't tell who will win. I absolutely love Ulveham but I'll be happy if Bur Man Laimi wins. The songs are quite similar with fairytale vibes so ig this is what the sub likes. The songs are Norway 2024 and Latvia 2025

In the 2nd Semifinal Bur Man Laimi beat Jako 139-92. I didnt really expect Jako to get this far but deserved nonetheless.

Tomorrow, after the poll ends I'll post the results and the full ranking of the contests (80th-1st)

ESC Random Cup 1st Semifinal

The songs from this match are Norway 2024 and Czechia 2023 which means the other match-up is Bur Man Laimi - Jako. I have no idea who will advance for the final, my favorite here is Ulveham but can go either way.

In the previous game Jako beat Growing Up Is Getting Old 176-71. GUIGO didnt stand a chance but a very good run for a slow ballad in a fancontest like this.

Looking at the 4 semifinalists there is a clear type of song fans on reddit like. I like them too but I wish a ballad would have snucked in here.

In the comments there are the results of the Quarterfinals.

ESC Random Cup Quarterfinals Game 4

The songs from this match are Bulgaria 2021 and Armenia 2024. I think the favorite of this one is Jako tho I'd love GUIGO to go through.

In the previous game Ulveham beat Volevo Essere Un Duro 169-148 in the highest voting match-up (317) and the first one with over 300 votes. It was a very exciting game but Volevo Essere Un Duro is eliminated.

The songs from this match are Italy 2025 and Norway 2024. This looks like an even match-up or Ulveham wins by a huge margin again either one might be tbh.

In the previous game Bur Man Laimi beat Répondez-moi 112-93 and qualified for the Semifinals. Sadly my favorite is out :( but it had a very good run overall

The songs from this match are Portugal 2023 and Czechia 2023. A 2023 match-up, I'm pretty sure Czechia is the favorite in this game but maybe Ai Coraçao makes a surprise.

In the previous game Répondez-moi beat Trenulețul 151-115 in the highest voting match-up yet: 266 votes. Very happy about this.

In the comments you will find the results of the 3rd round and the match-ups of the Quarterfinals.

The songs from this match are Moldova 2013 and Italy 2025. As always recency bias will probably be the winning factor in this

In the previous game Ai Coraçao beat Warrior 120-72 and qualified for the Quarterfinals. I didnt expect for Ai Coraçao to go this far but facing much older songs might have played a big role in it. Warrior is unfortunately eliminated

The songs from this match are Portugal 2023 and Georgia 2015. There is a lot of recency bias so ig the winner is very likely to be Portugal.

In the previous games My Sister's Crown beat Voyage 123-115 :( this was the match-up with the most votes so far: 238. Sad that Voyage is out but it put a good fight. This was very close, for a good amount of time they were tied and each took turns in leading but Czechia came on top.

The songs from this match are Czechia 2023 and Switzerland 2025. I think this match-up is the most interesting of this round, both did very well in the first 2 rounds so who wins here is a good contender for the whole contest.

In the previous games Ulveham beat All Of My Love 151-47 while Jako beat Fulenn 118-103 in the la-la-la duel. Ulveham was expected but I wish Fulenn qualified in the other game, at least it was a close one.

The songs from this match are Norway 2024 and Malta 2020. This one is kinda obvious who will win.

Because I want to finish this on the day of the 1st semifinal of Eurovision today there will be 2 match-ups. The other one will be posted in about 30 minutes when the poll of the last game ends. This is the only time with 2 match-ups in one day.
