Choose the Superstar XII: Liberation

Choose the Superstar XII: Liberation (often abbreviated to CTS XII) is the twelfth game in the Choose the Superstar franchise. This game of CTS took place throughout 2021 and brought together 20 returning SCAW hopefuls from the eleven previous games (including those that took part in games four and eight) in a competition to determine SCAW's next breakout star. The winner will be awarded with a one year contract with the promotion, where in order to stay past the one year, will have to win a championship. Due to the longer season, the "Special Rounds" of Entrance Week, Moves Week and Story Week would move from Week 11, Week 12 and Week 13 from the previous season and instead take place from Week 15 through to Week 17. This season was won by "The Crow" Eric Draven.

Results
Both teams would run polls at the same time, and then whomever was in last place would face off in a Sudden Death round, where the winner would rejoin their team, and the loser would be eliminated from the game. After week three's Sudden Death once again resulted in a tie, it was extended an extra day, however any ties in Sudden Death afterwards, would result in a Double Elimination.
