==At ISC==
Lost Islands were looking for graphical sponsors of the edition, and this was the rightest time when Grolskiric IBU members applied for the logo competition, and ended up winning it anyway because Ruthsina called it quits. Grolskiric logo designers decided to associate the logo to the already picked slogan for the edition, which was "Get Lost in...". So they had to create a quirky combination of circles for the contest. Not only they did the logo, but, as appointed by KPR, they helped out with final and semifinal 1 recaps, but due to technical difficulties, they came later than in time. Also, they were allowed to make scoreboards, thus accessing exclusive backstage access to ISC 37 semifinal both regular and IJ results, to see how everyone qualified, and be one of three/four broadcasters (along with the host nation's KPR and Tikata's RTRT) to know the winner of ISC 37 and where ISC 39 will move. For GLTV and GrolSat, this really looked like the best ISC related experience ever.
At first, the Holy Ruler of Grolskira asked others whether this song would be a qualifier, and Alteus responded negatively. So their qualification came out as a surprise to the nation, although at the same time it was rather heart-attacking during semifinal results show until the nation qualified during the very last envelope, considering the semifinal announcement of qualifiers switched. In the end, they got a satisfying 4th place, which really helped Grolskira's situation out during the depressing July time.
Also, the semi results show has undergone some drama, when Irdminia and Tashkveny qualified to the final thanks to IJ votes getting added as independent voter. When gotten removed, Spitzenbergen and Bubblique took their spots. Sadly, they did not do any better.
