Alright. Here we go. Like I said during last season's recap, I'm changing how I do recaps from now on. I kept track of the Top 10 after every single bet results were inputted, so now we can see just how fierce the competition truly was. I hope you all enjoy going on this journey as much as I did while making it.
NationWars 2019 Grand Finals + Show Spoiler + At the conclusion of NW 2019, our LB #1 was Shellshock.
2020 AfreecaTV GSL Super Tournament 1 Ro16 Match 1 + Show Spoiler + Unfortunately, Shellshock wasn't able to enjoy that 1st place spot for very long. After the 2020 AfreecaTV GSL Super Tournament 1 Ro16 Match 1 in which TY overcame Zest, Elentos swooped in and stole the spot from him!
2020 AfreecaTV GSL Super Tournament 1 Ro16 Match 5 + Show Spoiler + Elentos enjoyed that 1st place spot for a while, but he was overtaken by OsaX Nymloth at the conclusion of Stats vs Maru. Looks like Elentos believe in the wrong player :/
2020 AfreecaTV GSL Super Tournament 1 Ro8 Match 4 + Show Spoiler + It wasn't until the 2020 AfreecaTV GSL Super Tournament 1 Ro8 Match 4 that OsaX Nymloth finally gave up that #1 spot. True to his ID, invisigoat came out of nowhere, and just took the lead away from them! Thanks for losing to Solar, Cure... ><
2020 GSL Season 1 Code S Ro16 Group A + Show Spoiler + The 2020 GSL Season 1 Code S Ro16 Group A is what finally allowed our previous leader to come back to their glorious spot in the rankings. Tied at #1 with invisigoat, OsaX Nymloth made the right call and gained enough points thanks to Dark and Dear triumphing over TaeJa and Scarlett!
2020 GSL Season 1 Code S Ro4 Match 1 + Show Spoiler + Alas... The true test of the LB hero lies within GSL's high points once you reach the playoffs... The 2020 GSL Season 1 Code S Ro4 Match 1 pitted TY against PartinG. OsaX Nymloth voted correctly, and sadly, invisigoat did not... There goes our tie...
2020 GSL Season 1 Code S Ro4 Match 2 + Show Spoiler + But the story line just keeps getting better! OsaX Nymloth was completely blindsided when happykrogan just took the lead with one single vote! The 2020 GSL Season 1 Code S Ro4 Match 2 had Cure going up against INnoVation. And like any sane person, OsaX voted for the machine, because... Well... Did anyone REALLY expect Cure to win over INno? The answer is yes ><
2020 GSL Season 1 Code S Grand Finals + Show Spoiler + So here is where things get REALLY interesting. After falling out of the #1 spot because he failed to believe in Cure, the 2020 GSL Season 1 Code S Grand Finals gave us TY vs Cure. Now, obviously, happykrogan voted for Cure, because if it ain't broke, then don't fix it~! But OsaX Nymloth? Yeah... He decided to vote against Cure one more time because he chose to believe in THE SUN!
2020 GSL Season 2 Code S Ro8 Match 1 + Show Spoiler + I honestly though that OsaX Nymloth was going to ride this wave all the way to the finish line. They gained so many points from that TY championship win, that I didn't think it was possible anymore for someone to catch up. But if you click on that spoiler, you'll see that someone tied with OsaX. Do you recognize them? You should, because that's our last season's champion! Oo;;
The 2020 GSL Season 2 Code S Ro8 Match 1 had DongRaeGu going up against INnoVation. Not only did INno embarrass himself by going out 0-3, but he also pissed off OsaX because his elimination ended up allowing AIMBORG to catch up to the #1 spot!
2020 GSL Season 2 Code S Ro4 Match 1 + Show Spoiler + It honestly looked like we were about to have another season with two tied winners. But unfortunately, the world is a much crueler place than you want to believe... DongRaeGu had an insane amount of momentum going for him as he entered into the 2020 GSL Season 2 Code S Ro4 Match 1 against Rogue. Many people believed in DRG, including AIMBORG, but OsaX Nymloth didn't fall victim to DRG's miracle. They knew that former world champion Rogue still had it in him... And boy were they right about that!
After that big win, it was a smooth sailing from there all the way to the top. Let's check out our final Top 10 first before we congratulate our newest champion!

I got to say... That was a pretty damn intense journey. However, despite everyone's efforts, no one was lucky enough to overthrow our champion off of their crown. While it's true that they lost the #1 spot several times, they never gave up and just kept on climbing their way to the top. And now that they're there, they will forever be remembered on TL as a champion.
So without further ado, CONGRATULATIONS to OSAX NYMLOTH!!!
Thank you very much to everyone who participated for Season 22. Season 23 has already started, so get those votes in people!

Nice recap. Seeing the progression really builds up the story. Though the story only really starts after supertournament imo. That shellbot was 1st initially doesn't mean so much when 1st is a twenty-way tie.
|
I was 4th oh so briefly.
Edit: I didn't even get top 100 this time.
|
So close to a mention so many times :D All betters voted hard, GGs!
|
Nice recap.
By far the worst season I've had in a while. Consistently voting against TY in bets really pays off badly when he goes on championship runs.
|
Wow 19th, so close to top 10!
By the way, do most people on top of the ranking have 100% of voting or almost?
|
Oh damn, just yesterday I was wondering who won that season when I was placing some bets :D Pretty fun recap, thanks for writing and hope it's not the last you see of me

GG! I missed 8 points I think, could have been close for #1!

nice read. thanks for spacing it chronologically to develop some drama :D are there a lot of consistent top 10 placers? even top 25 placers? i would love to hear their rationalizations for their bets
edit: when is the winner's interview?? ^^

This is my second second in a row My rule of thumb is "don't count on protoss winning anything" - seems to be working pretty well x]

Let me rephrase then, what's your voting percentage everyone? Or can I see this myself?
