Taeyeon also revealed that not all hope is gone for those who are in the low tiers, since the first initial tier placement would be irrelevant once the competition starts. After the Up-Down Battle, their placement would be adjusted based on their individual results from the first clash.

In the first battle, each contender performed their covers on stage, while the other 27 contestants were given the chance to vote "Up" if they found the performer was better than them, or "Down" if the performer was worse.
