The top ten showdown is an even more brutal and bloody series of head-to-head PK eliminations. The draw placed Chaomu Band and Shenkong Fenlie, Heige Paradox and Kuangzuo together, leading to the emergence of the two dark horses of the competition, challenging two established powerhouses, which sparked intense public interest. When the news was released, it instantly trended online for two days.
Each PK match consists of two rounds, recorded over two consecutive days. In each round, both participants sing one song, with professional judges scoring on the first day and a panel of musicians scoring on the second day. The total scores from both matches determine the top five. Finally, one more team is revived to make up the final six.
