Not surprised they sent Yang to the singles rounds. Weiss is probably still recovering a bit from that lava plume, and Blake and Ruby aren't the optimal fighters. Well, they each have their strengths, but Yang is arguably the best to send forward from an in-character point of view.

That look Qrow and Ozpin shared though, that's a bit worrying and I don't know why.
