Hey guys, this is Seeker. After speaking with Plexa, here are the new updates regarding liquibets:
All liquibets will be created with at least 24 hours in advance. Any liquibet created with less than 24 hours notice (with the exception of give or take a few hours because of WCS schedules) will automatically be set to 0.
I will no longer be doing liquibets for Up/Downs. It is a lot of work for everyone to keep track of 50(+) Up/Down liquibets in 1 week Oo;; The reason I do individual liquibets for all 10 - 15 matches for Up/Downs rather than make 1 liquibet with 5 - 6 players as an option is because the current liquibets system has been formatted to allow only a maximum of 4 players per vote. Now I've spoken to R1CH about this and he said that there is a possibility of updating the liquibet system to allow more than 4 players per vote in the future. However, there is no set date for the release of this new liquibet voting system and R1CH is a very busy man so don't expect it to be implemented anytime soon.
Liquibet seasons will last for an entire duration of a WCS season:
- WCS Korea (Challenger League + Premier League)
- WCS Europe (Challenger League + Premier League)
- WCS America (Challenger League + Premier League)
- WCS Season Finals
- GSTL
- Proleague
Obviously GSTL and Proleague will most likely still be going on when a liquibets season concludes, so watch out and stay alert for those.
Also, I sincerely apologize for this current season of liquibets going on for way too long. Normally liquibets don't go on this long but there were some issues to work out. But everything is now back on track 
![[image loading]](/staff/shiroiusagi/liquibettop10.jpg)
Last but not least, here are the current top 10 people for this season's liquibets ranking:
1. 640 thebike
2. 627 TheThunder
3. 625 Asha`
4. 625 Kerence
5. 624 Jaramir
6. 624 Vireo
7. 624 RedPx
8. 623 ejac
9. 621 Arnstein
10. 619 N.geNuity
TheThunder, Asha`, Kerence, Jaramir, Vireo, RedPx, ejac, Arnstein, and N.geNuity all have one last chance to try to overthrow thebike with the upcoming 2013 WCS Season 2 Finals. Wish them luck!
See you all next season

Who was the last person to receive a Liquibet icon for sc2 Liquibets? I feel like the Liquibet season went on for forever, like over a year.
I personally stopped doing them a while ago because it seemed pointless, and there were way too many of them.
|
good luck with ya'll bets.
|
I stopped doing Liquibets since WCS, sometimes it just felt endless.
|
Changes sound good. I will definitely try to keep up with this season.
|
Man I haven't followed SC2 for a year now but I still keep doing these without putting any thought into it and I'm rank 28 even though I've missed votes.
What always bothered me was that although I'm sure I log on TL daily I still missed out on some votes but sounds like that might get sorted now.

Is there some sort of separate Proleague betting one that I am not aware of? How do you know this?
|
Hooray for new season, I was demotivated after some terrible streaks. Whats really funny tho is that I'm doing far better at BW liquibet and I don't follow BW anymore. Gotta have that luck to do well I guess
|
I would won the shit out of this if Proleague wasn't included. T_T

I'm still missing 11 points. This doesn't matter for me because I'm nowhere near the top positions but is this resolved? I never saw anything official about it.
Not gonna miss any votes ever again. I want that icon!

thebike is kicking some butt.

i'm still moving up the ranks! rank 357

We never figured out those missing points 
However, once the new season starts, everything will be back to square 1, and I'm going to take extra precautions to make sure there are no screw-ups so you should be good to go.

I'm so happy we'll finally have actual LB seasons instead of having to only reset it once a year
Thanks for keeping on this SeeKeR!

Liquidbet seasons are way too long, when was the last reset ?
Well perhaps it was reset recently, I stopped LB'ing because the seasons seems to never end. But it'll change soon so I'll be back !
PS : Asha imba :O

Oh, I am not the only one then. I have 633 in my stats displayed, but I miss 7 points in ranking (626)...would be top 5 perhaps. T.T
Well, can't wait for next season.
@Seeker (and all the others involved in the Liquibet system): Thanks for your hard work!!!

The last reset was in December last year I believe right before the Sniper vs Ryung and HyuN vs Bogus semis cause I was in 1st place for like a week since the tiebreaker is post count
|
Any chance there will be an update soon that will make the stats link for each player go to the HotS stat page instead of the WoL one?
|
Great. Thanks for the update!
|
Twas a good season for me. I worked my way from 600 the season before to 224 currently at 584 points.

How/what is the icon associated with LiquiBets?

Oh this is nice, I've kept doing Liquibets as soon as I see them pop up anyway just for the fun of it

Check Thebike's icon next to his name, his post is just a few above yours

yeah I just checked mine and the My Stats page says I should have 613 and the Ranking page only shows me with 607. I guess it probably wont matter at the top since thebike is pretty far ahead but it could shift the rankings around a little since not everyone is missing the same number of points
|
29...
So close, and still so far
Congratz to the winners.
|
gg @thebike
But guys please for the new season be aware of problems, of points disappearing, and such. Personally I missed 11 points as many others did missed some as well. Nevertheless great job, great stuff, great games! All the best!
|
Ahhhh I got so close to top 10. Made it all the way up to rank 7 at one point even....1 finals I got wrong at the end and the 8 points of votes that I "missed" at the very beginning of the season
and I think EVERYONE has missing points from the rankings vs their stats page so it evens out

So there are new bets for new Liquibet season but I've clicked on bets out of curiosity and I saw that there are new bets added but the 0/0 near the open liquibets were not highlighted with yellow font as they tend to be.
Any fix ?

I can't ever vote liquibets with heart anymore D:
|
At least with this season we had WCS Europe and America. Before that it was a Korean tournament betting so it wasn't really interresting for me.
