After the seven boy groups' Aces have performed, each boy group would send five of their members to each vote for three aces except their team's ace. The team that got 1st place for the public pre-vote in the predicted ranking, Cravity, gets the right to arrange the cue sheet for the Ace battle.

The team of the first placed Ace gets the right to arrange the cue sheet for the Team Battle, while the boy group with the last placed Ace would not be able to take part in the Team Battle.[19][20]

Team Battle

[edit]

Each boy group performs a 100-second performance. After the six boy groups have performed, all the teams would each send five of their members to each vote for three boy groups excluding their own respective boy groups.[22]

Out of the total score of 1,000, 30% would be based on the self-evaluation aforementioned, while 70% would be based on evaluation from a 280-strong streaming audience, with each boy group gathering 40, and each of the streaming audience also voting for three boy groups excluding their own representative boy groups.[1] As Hwanwoong won the Ace Battle, Oneus gets the right to arrange the cue sheet for the Team Battle.

Round 1: VS (Episode 2–3)

[edit]

The seven boy groups each perform one song from the five representative boy groups that sold over one million albums in 2023, and is rearranged into a different style. The seven groups were divided into three matchups: two one-on-one matches (Stray Kids, and Enhypen songs), and one triple match (NCT, The Boyz and Tomorrow X Together songs).[23][24]

The Team Ranking and Ace Ranking each has a total score of 10,000. The score system will be based on:

  • Self-Evaluation – 3,000 points
  • On-Site Audience Vote – 7,000 points

For the Self-Evaluation, each boy group would send five members to each vote for three aces and three teams, excluding their team's Ace and their own teams, respectively.

For the On-Site Audience Vote, 300 on-site audience must vote for their more preferred team in each VS battle, and also vote for three aces (for the Ace Ranking) and three boy groups out of all seven teams (for the Team Ranking). A benefit of 1,000 points will be given to each of the teams who won in their respective VS battles.[24]

For each score category, the team with the most amount of votes shall receive the maximum amount of points (i.e., 3,000 for Self-Evaluation and 7,000 for Video Evaluation), while the remaining teams obtains the score in proportion from their vote count to the first-placed team's vote count.

1-on-1 Ace Battle

[edit]

If a team places first on both the Ace Ranking and Team Ranking, then that team automatically gets the right to arrange the cue sheet for the next round. However, if the first placed group in the Team Ranking and the group with the first-place Ace are not the same, a one-on-one Ace Battle would be done between the two teams to own the right to cue sheet arrangement. The voting shall be done via self-evaluation — with each team sending the number of members equivalent to the least number of members among the five remaining teams. Since The New Six and Tempest have the least number of members among the remaining five, having 6 members, six members will vote from each team, making a total of 30 voters for the Ace Battle.[25]

Therefore, Oneus gets the right to arrange the cue sheet for the next round.

Round 2: Identity (Episode 4–5)

[edit]

Each team must show their color and identity by performing their representative hit songs that is rearranged and different from their usual stages of the song. For this round, there would be two Aces per team. The score system for the Team Ranking and Ace Ranking will be similar as that of Round 1:

  • Self-Evaluation – 3,000 points
  • On-Site Audience Vote – 7,000 points

After the second round, one team would be eliminated. The candidates for elimination will be the seventh-place team in the Team Ranking and the seventh-place ace in the Ace Ranking on the cumulative scores and ranking from Rounds 1 to 2. The team to be eliminated will be determined by an Ace Battle between the two teams. If a team places seventh both in the cumulative Ace Ranking and Team Ranking, then they would be eliminated immediately without holding an Ace Battle.[26]
