Welcome to ✨Battle of the Scenes✨ — a bracket-style competition where the most memorable moments from the ACOTAR series will face off for the ultimate crown 👑

The bracket is back! But this time, instead of characters facing off against one another, we’re pitting scene against scene to determine once and for all which pivotal moment in the ACOTAR series reigns supreme.

From Calanmai to Starfall, the snowball fight to the Blood Rite, these 64 unforgettable scenes will battle it out for your votes until only one is left standing.

Will your favorite make it all the way? Cast your votes and follow along to find out!

Here’s how it works…

Throughout the month, scenes will be matched in head-to-head competitions. Vote for your favorites here on Maasversity, and I will announce the results on my ACOTAR Fandom Facebook Page at the end of each voting period.

The winners of each round will continue to progress until only one remains standing—the undisputed best ACOTAR scene of all time 🏆

The rounds will be broken down and scheduled as follows:

First Round: Thursday, April 9th
*Second Round: Wednesday, April 15th*
Sweet Sixteen: Sunday, April 19th
Elite Eight: Thursday, April 23rd
Final Four: Tuesday, April 28th
Championship Round: Friday, May 1st

The winner will be announced on Tuesday, May 5th (the 11th anniversary of ACOTAR!)
