Season 23

Alright, here we go! Just like last season's recap, 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.

Nope. Spoke too soon. A new #1 has arrived! ZigguratOfUr believed in

Reynor over

Dark and their belief paid off big time!

+ Show Spoiler +

Welcome back mderg!

PartinG defeated

TY and allowed mderg to take back that coveted #1 spot!

2021 IEM Katowice Grand Finals
+ Show Spoiler +

There's a reason as to why liquibets are known as incredibly unforgiving. Just one wrong vote can cost you the championship... Unfortunately, for mderg, they made the wrong vote during the grand finals and voted for

Zest instead of

Reynor. Meanwhile, ZigguratOfUr made the right call, voted for Reynor, and ended up winning the whole thing at the very last minute with their final vote!

Wooooooooow!!! That was a long ass journey... And I'm exhausted... So let's check out our final Top 10 first before we congratulate our champion!

Link to SC2 Liquibets Season 23 Rankings

Guess what everyone? For the first time ever in liquibet history, we have a repeat champion! ZigguratOfUr is not just our Season 23 champion, because they previously won Season 16 as well! What a hard fought and well deserved victory. And what a history in the making season!

So without further ado, CONGRATULATIONS to ZIGGURATOFUR!!!

Thank you very much to everyone who participated for Season 23. Season 24 has already started, so get those votes in people!

Never believe in a Protoss's PvZ when it matters.

Pretty stoked to be the winner again--I really didn't expect it given that normally I do good but not great at Liquibet (I've only been top 50 once other than these two wins).

GG all, and thanks Seeker for organizing/admin-ing Liquibets as always.

I pulled out a great comeback but it wasn't enough in the end, Katowice was amazing for me but Super Tournament II was terrible. That seer from Iraq is just too solid, gj to him!
