Congratulations, Round 4 winner doubleupgradeobbies!
You are truly a fantasy master, because you finished #2 in Round 2 as well. You crushed every human player by 10+ points, with your closest competition being the joke SK Telecom Team that wasn't supposed to do as well as it did. If this round proved anything, it was that Fantasy StarCraft is a game of skill. Former Top 10 owners finished very high in the ranking, as did TeamLiquid Staff. But then again, #2 was a random SK Telecom T1 that was supposed to lose but lucked tremendously.

Owner Awards
The "Boxer" Award for best Repeat Performance
Goes to Pizzown, for finishing #12 in Round 3 and #3 in Round 2. You are truly an asset to the Former Top 10 Group.
The "Savior" Award for Best Slump Predictor
Goes to Velr, whose Casy, Mind, and Firefist (trading away iloveoov and Jangbi) anti-team scored a league-low 18 points all season. Velr finished at #80.
The "Wall Street" Award for Best Trader
Goes to hWan_Pil, who made twelve total trades during the season and saw ten of them give positive returns for a total of plus-67 trade gain, almost half his total score. hWan_Pil finished at #15, but had he not traded, he would have finished at #584. His best trades were Week 2 Tempest-for-Horang2 (+16) and Week 3 hyvaa-for-Iris (anti, +16).
The "KTF" Award for Worst Trader
Goes to Phelix, whose Week 1 July-for-Leta (anti, -30) and Week 4 Stork-for-Hwasin (-15) trades propelled him to a horrific minus-56 point trade gain after 8 total trades. Plenty of teams did "worse" trading, but those teams were actually trying to lose points. Don't be discouraged Phelix, you'll do better next round.
The "Nal_Rock" Award for Refusing to Change Anything
Goes to baubo, who finished at #15 despite making 0 trades all season. Technically, SK Telecom T1 finished at #2 with no trades, but it wasn't a "real" team.
The "Hite Sparkyz" Award for Biggest Surprise Team
Goes to Liquid`Zephyr, who finished #3 despite admitting that he doesn't watch PL often and only entered because he and Nazgul had a bet. Liquid`Nazgul finished at #193.
The "LeBron" Award for Best Rookie
Goes to Solidus_315, who was a first time participant but finished #8. Also, huge props to him for having Savior as captain and having OversKy on his team.
The "Manifesto7" Award for Best Staff Performance
Goes to pachi, who through a combination of smart trading and excellent anti-team choices, finished #26. Liquid`Zephyr is technically staff and finished higher, but he already received an award.
The "Last Romantic" Award for Worst Staff Performance
This was named after Last Romantic due to his epic failure in the showmatch against GG.net, and hilariously it goes to Last Romantic, who finished #873 with his team of KTF players and washed up Ace guys. He gets some credit for being a consistent fan, but as we all know from this round, going KTF did not work out.
