Following the quarterfinals at Shinjuku FACE, the field for the semi-final competitors in STARDOM’s 5 Star Grand Prix are now set. The quarterfinals marked the 5 Star Grand Prix’s transition from a round robin to a single elimination format featuring the top two competitors per block. Qualifying matches also took place prior to the quarterfinals to break ties within blocks.
The full results of the 5 Star Grand Prix quarterfinals are as follows:

With that, Maika, Mayu Iwatani, Hanan, and Saya Kamitani are now headed into the semi-finals of this year’s tournament. Out of the four semi-finalists, Mayu Iwatani is the only competitor to have won the tournament back in 2018. Maika, however, also looks to redeem herself after coming up short against last year’s winner Suzu Suzuki in the finals. The “Phenex Queen” Saya Kamitani, on the other hand, aims to bounce back after suffering an injury in last year’s 5 Star opening night which took her out of the competition. Hanan also previously won the Cinderella Tournament earlier this March and has been on a roll throughout this year. She picked up a big upset win over former World of Stardom Champion Syuri in the tournament.
