That night, the tournament committee issued an announcement stating that the truth had been determined—it was a problem with the stage's array that had caused a leak of the XX potion, which was originally meant to stabilize contestants' emotions, resulting in all participants being affected as soon as they used magic power.
As for why Northern Alliance contestants weren't affected, it was because they were already used to this kind of potion, so it didn't impact them.
As for yesterday morning's match, a rematch has been confirmed, but considering that a rematch would be "unfair" to the Northern Alliance contestants, their win will still count as +1.
This behavior triggered quite a few protests from participating teams, but the protests were useless.
The tournament committee said you could file a complaint, and that they'd take it seriously.
Of course, taking it seriously doesn't mean they'd change anything.
