Murasagi Mini Duet Gala 2014

Murasagi Mini Duet Gala 2014 (also known as MMDG14) is a YouTube duet battle event that ran from October 26, 2014 to February 22, 2015. The gala consisted of 3 rounds and encompasses participants from idol, vocaloid and jpop communities. Groups of 2 vocalists and an optional mixer were the basis of each team and a guest was allowed during the second round. 
The focus of the gala was on audio so the judging criteria did not include animation/video aspects in the main score. Four categories were scored: Vocals (30%), mixing (30%), code/casting (20%), and song interpretation/overall impact (20%). 3 bonus points for the video was also awarded in addition to theme-based bonus points that differed each round. 
The judging panel consisted of Renna (code/cast), ikon (song interpretation), Usachii (overall impact), Reba (vocals), SquaDus (vocals), Krovi (mixing), Jess (mixing), Jeii (video BP), Kappa (code/cast), and the guest judge, Kurosagi (song interpretation/impact). The event is hosted on the MurasagiYT channel run by Renna, k and Jeii.
Prizes were awarded to the overall first place winning group and a runner-up group. The awards are an option of either a choice of gift cards or a mystery themed giftbox to all members of the winning groups.

==Trivia==
* The Murasagi channel was planned around the time of the first KCE duet battle. In 2014, no duet battle was held so the gala was made and held in place of it.
* Renna and Kappa were previously organizers of the DUBattle Royale held in 2011. They also competed in YTChorus' chorus battle in a group called HANAbira-gumi.
* Renna was also a guest judge for KCEDB1 and subsequently entered KCEDB2 as a participant with k.
