I doubt Crom will beat Ddraig cause that would equal Issei losing. That being said I am starting to think it might be possible for Issei to unlock true DxD G. Since Paiphone can work through a rating game then Issei's team doesn't need Ingvild to Join, just stand outside and sing. Since TDDG wont appear until Lilith and Ophis resonate I get the feeling Ingvild singing will make that happen. As far as match ups go I hope Issei doesn't fight Kiba because it just seems unnessicary to me, Kiba would get demolished, it would be better to put in a fight he'd have a chance in. I see them going like Crom v Issei (undetermined) Rias v Grayfia (undertermined) Akeno v Roygun (Roygun wins) Strada v Xenovia and Rossweisse (X and R win or undetermined) Shirone v Ravel and Elmenhilde (R and E win) Gasper v Ouryuu (Gasper wins) Yuuto and Lint v Bova, Irina, Asia and Fafnir (B,I,A and F win) Gasper and Rias v Grayfia and Roygun (G and R win) Crom v Ddraig (undertermined or Ddraig wins) Gasper and Rias v Issei (Issei wins) The only person who I cant figure out would be Valerie, she was with Rias in her match against Vali so maybe with her still but even if she was she wouldn't be a combatant.
