Season 17

Let's get one thing straight: In the world of SC2, absolutely NOTHING is for certain. Right at the start of this new season, did anyone actually think to themselves:

  • INnoVation is going to win 2 more tournaments before the WCS Global Finals
  • sOs will fail to win a GSL title again because of a terran
  • Stats and Dark are going to face off against each other in another SSL Finals
  • herO is going to make back-to-back GSL Super Tournament Finals
  • herO and Rogue are going to face off against each other in two finals
  • Rogue is going to win Super Tournament, gain just enough points to knock sOs out of the WCS Global Finals running and take his teammate's 8th spot
  • SpeCial will be the only foreigner remaining in the Ro4 of the WCS Global Finals
  • Neeb, after winning 3 WCS championships this year, will not even make it past the Ro16 of the WCS Global Finals
  • soO, the King of Silver, is going to add another "accomplishment" to his unparalleled record
  • Rogue, after just barely making it to the WCS Global Finals, is going to become the WCS Global Finals champion
  • INnoVation, with the greatest hype anyone has ever gotten for the title of GOAT, will fall in the Ro8 of the WCS Global Finals again

If you can honestly look me in the eyes and tell me that you predicted every single one of those outcomes, then... YOU ARE A LIAR!!! Either that or you really need to be working in the professional world of clairvoyants and psychics...

Speaking of clairvoyants and psychics, that's pretty much the position you're put into when you participate in Liquibets. You are actively trying to look into the future and predict the outcome of each and every match so that you can score enough points to win the season. Well, let's look at our Top 10 clairvoyants/psychics for this season then:

    1       155       Cricketer12
    2       144       H.R.Giger
    3       141       OminouS
    4       141       hUed
    5       139       SetGuitarsToKill
    6       138       JudeauTV
    7       137       jy_9876543210
    8       136       Yhamm
    9       135       KappaKingPrime
    10       134       Olli

    Link to SC2 Liquibets Season 17 Rankings

Wow... An 11 point difference between #1 and #2? It's been a while since I've seen that much of a gap. I'm not sure what voodoo magic Cricketer pulled or what kind of ritual he conducted, but whatever it was, it sure as hell worked. For the final month of liquibets, I don't think Cricketer was ever really in danger of losing his #1 spot. What domination...

P.S. The return of Olli in the Top 10 Oo;;

So without further ado, CONGRATULATIONS to Cricketer12!!!

Thank you very much to everyone who participated for Season 17. Season 18 should be starting up soon so stay tuned and get those bets ready!

I have to say Blizzcon made the end of this season incredibly swingy for everyone (except for literal liquibet god Cricketer ofc). I think I dropped 100 spots from getting the quarter-finals all wrong and then swung back up 150 spots from getting the semis and the finals right.

I was in the top ten for a long time this season. and then Rogue won the super tournament and the entire train came off the tracks to finish out the season for me.

edit: maybe earlier. Whichever thing I thought that dark would win that he didn't. GSL finals probably. Either way I was derailed by a zerg upsetting me somehow.

Damn! Had I not followed my heart by betting on soO in the WCS Finals I would have gotten 9 points more and finished in second place Congrats to Cricketer12.
People thinking they knew exactly what they want, most of the time have no idea what they can get.
