Just over two weeks ago another epic Liquibet season came to a close. After the addition of the NASL and TSL3 to the pool of bets, the competition was sure to be as fierce and grueling as ever. Kicking off in March with the start of the TSL3 and concluding in mid-June with the GSL Super Tournament Grand Finals, the season spanned 420 different bets and over 500 possible points.
In the end it would be Almisael who would run away with the prize, finishing a full 10 points ahead of the nearest challenger, Harem. Almisael would finish with 363 total points, grabbing over 68% of the possible points. How did he pull it off? While he didn't excel in GSL betting, he took first in NASL betting and placed with a top-5 finish in TSL3 betting.
So without further adieu, congratulations Almisael!

Almisael so good at foreigner liquibet ~.~
|
Der Ösi wieder, die Schluchtenscheißer sind doch alles Cheater.
|
Grats, always so hard to keep up and get every single bet in, especially with like 25 games a week off NASL only
|
Not bad. I actually should do liquibet one of these days.
"I need to do liquibet" "I forgot to do liquibet" "Oh well, I'm out of the running. Will no longer liquibet"

Congrats to all top finishers, and a happy new betting season to everyone. Special congratulations to Antoine
|
someday ill end up on one of those lists
|
Is it possible to check ones stats now?
|
damn. 3rd place is still good. this season on the other hand.... its going like shit
|
Damn that is impressive, I hovered around 60% correct all season.
But my TSL3 bets got f-ed over by Thorzain. Not that it wasn't completely awesome seeing him beat the best players in the world.

You can visit previous seasons of liquibet by going to http://www.teamliquid.net/liquibet2_3/index.php and substituting 1/2/3 in where the 3 is in that url for the various seasons.

10th T.T
I was 0/16 on points in the last three votes. I wanted the icon 
This season is off to a bad start already. JUST got back to above 50% voting percentage last night. Then again, last season started poorly for me, too. I got almost every single TSL Liquibet wrong until the quarters/semis.
|
|
I was ahead of Harem by a point for so long... then I got 1 eight-point bet wrong and it was all downhill from there... Didn't even finish in the top 10 
edit: Huh... had I gotten that 1 bet right, I would have been in third overall. Ouch. re-edit: Congrats guys. Was a fun fight for second place the whole time Very well done by Almisael in particular.

for a long time i feared donaldlee would take away my liquibet-points (*tasteless voice*) but suddenly he disappeared and gave me some breathing room. now i need a break from watching replays...
ps: yay!

Congrats to you, sir! =D

says i missed 120 votes 0_o how long do the votes stay 'open' for. Im on tl pretty much every day and i always notice when theres one there to be done 
anyway, thats a nice record you got tere Almisael. JJH777 getting 30/31 GSL world championship finishers pretty sweet too
how much work do you put into getting these bets right? i thought it was just guess work or which player you liked :D

Congratulations Almisael; ever since i discovered what liquibet was i have sucked at it haha! Maybe i should ask around before betting :p
|
I got 18th place, I voted for MMA in Supertourny and GSTL wrong and it screwed me over
|
congratulations i'm bad at betting ):
|
Woot 1st in the tsl3 bets :D
|
I will never be anywhere near the top 5 of anything =/ MUST IMPROVE!
|
can someone post the player names of the winners? apparentley "almisael" competed in nasl and the tsl3, but i haven't an idea who he is! edit op if possible, thanks.
|
Is this the For the Horde Almisael?

Those categories are for the people who did the best liquibetting on those tourneys, not the best playing in them.
|
I used to take LB pretty serious, but now I find myself fanboy voting and voting blindly... not doing too well. Heres to more random LBs. :D
|
|
well done, i didnt do to bad, 1000th cant complain
|
congratz! I was ranked 2855
|
Woah at WCs top 5. :D
I did pretty mediocre overall though. I also didn't do the first 27 points worth of betting.
|
Poor harem, only 10 points away D:
Congrats to 1st place winner!

so ppl bet for like a few months(a season), not seeing their stats or other people stats. what a terrible system imo if u cant ever see any stats, I wonder who even bets there
|
Congrats to Almisael for winning! So gosu
|
I got rank 883. Not good, but pleasantly surprised with that.

PoltPrime screwed me 
Voting for him against Alicia leapfrogged me up to 3rd overall, but voting against him twice cost me 12 points. I didn't have faith in his TvT.
|
I had fun going back to season 1 of sc2 liquibets and looking through the comments on the votes and how many voted on who.
The way MKP and Kyrix rised along with Nestea who "upset" the wind 
Like a lot other i struggle a lot with this seasons votes as i'm suddenly at 4-50% corect votes while i have been at above 60 and closer to 70 most of the other seasons.
Thanks for the roundup.

Wow, I'm so far off the winner that I think a better strategy is to pick my LB randomly LOL
