Hej venner! This is Karma, official European correspondent for The Daily Demba here once again to spread the word of what is going on in CBL lately. It has been a relatively uncharacteristically quiet week but the news cycle never stops. Here are a few matters of intrigue, including at least one story that is still developing.

Our top story, and one very close to my own heart, is the User Tournament quickly nearing its final result. What started as 40 names was whittled down to 16 names to be included in the database, and we now have two battling it out for the ultimate winner.

As of the publishing of this news roundup, we are still awaiting the results of the finale between Debby Ryan and Olivia Rodrigo. It's perhaps not a great surprise to those who followed the tournament that this is the grand final, as they both established themselves as heavy favorites from the get-go. Nobody else really came close when it comes to vote differential, and this clash had a feel of inevitability. As an extra bonus, we are being treated to a third place bout between Olivia Culpo and Daniela Melchior, and it's rumored that glambling may be involved in this tilt. Those of you with a hub, remember to check your SpecialVote tab for an additional voice.

We here at The Daily Demba wish to extend congratulations to everyone who found success in this tournament, and may the champion be a deserving one. Here is a small sample of the cards we have already seen introduced as a result of this UT.

In other tournament news, the National League voting keeps rolling. Recently the Denmark results came in, crowning Caroline Wozniacki (which couldn't have surprised anyone, given her name recognition advantage.) As of the time of this writing, the Mexico Finals are being voted on between Neeko Lul and Martha Higareda.

This reporter has been able to confirm that we still have Japan and Portugal to look forward to, and to round it out will be France, which I am personally heavily intrigued to see the results of. Remember to vote, and maybe discover some new names that may make your radar.

And finally, just a little bit of card news you may have missed if you are not on Discord with us. People have been asking for True Blood C cards for a very, very long time and they have finally arrived.

Deborah Ann Woll, Anna Paquin, and Evan Rachel Wood with well deserved C cards. I myself have already claimed one and hope to complete the set in time.

Additionally, this reporter used a MONO Commission prize acquired in the last raffle and opted to create my own for it. Officially revealed for the first time:
