The conclusion of HotS means the conclusion of an era! (Okay, not really but it was a pretty awesome 3 years) Seeing as how this was the final HotS LB season, I think it's only right that we give it the proper tribute it deserves:
WCS: This particular season of LB gave WCS a lot of points for the FOREIGN HOPE BELIEVERS! Lilbow and MaNa going against all odds and getting to the finals of Season 3 and Lilbow actually winning Season 3 was a pretty darn big victory for the foreign scene.
SPL: Proleague headed off into the post-season playoffs and the grand finals and SK Telecom T1/Jin Air Green Wings believers won a crapton of points off of that one. As much as KT Rolster fans and CJ fans would hate to admit this, sOs reverse all-killing KT and JAGW killing CJ even before the third match meant JAGW LB fans just took off with points because of how many points were award during the post-season playoffs. We also did something unique because for the first time ever, LB points were distributed by each matchup by players instead of just one team match.
GSL and SSL: If you're a believer in ByuL and CJ, then you probably won a bunch of points off of his back-to-back finals appearance. Also, herO got you some mad points as well. But let's not forget that if you were a believer in SKT and INnoVation, you got some serious points thanks to GSL.
WCS Global Finals: And of course, who could forget the most prestigious tournament that takes place annually? Were you a Zealously and thought Life had what it took to become a back-to-back BlizzCon champion? Well... You were only one game short of that happening so don't feel bad. Life really proved himself this time around again. Unfortunately, sOs fans had a different opinion at the last second. 9 points worth of different opinions to be exact. Not to mention JAGW fans once again made some big points off of Rogue also (but you got squat from Maru, sorry... :/)
Anyways, with all that was said and done (and believe me, this season was purely epic because of all the SC2 privileges we were exposed to), that indeed does wrap up the HotS era for TL LB. Thank you HotS for all the great memories. Now let's go ahead and look at our Top 10 for this season:
It's been a really long time since we've seen a LB season where someone has dominated this heavily. I mean, seriously, 15 POINT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 1 AND 2?! Greenei, I have no idea who you are and what you do, but I do know that TL writers could use you. You've got some serious mad predicting skills. To the rest of the 9: Good job and be proud of yourselves. You fought through tooth and nail to get into the Top 10. This is an achievement you nor anyone else should take lightly. But unfortunately, there can ever only be one winner (well, this time around at least)
So without further ado, CONGRATULATIONS to Greenei!!!
Thank you very much to everyone who participated for Season 12 (last HotS season). Season 13 (THE FIRST LOTV SEASON!) should be starting up soon so stay tuned and get those bets ready!

End of the season was wacky. I was two votes from second place, but unfortunately I misplaced my faith in Life (25th).
Still, I was barely top 900 at one point, so this isn't too bad.

Congratulations Greenei ! I got #12, my best score yet Hopefully SKT does well next season as well, so I can get free points
|
Thats crazy, someone should check if Greenei is not involved in match fixing. Gratz!

Any chance to have the fantasy final recap as well?

#296. A very bad season, where I bet more with heart than with brain. Going for top150 next season.

4th, which is better than Flash ever did in a SC2 Korean individual league
