For months the best minds in the world of non-money, 100% pride-based StarCraft betting have squared off to determine who can most accurately predict OSL, MSL, Proleague, GSL, and NASL matches. Finally these seasons have come to an end and it is my pleasure to make this post to congratulate the newest winners. Its been an especially long season this time around on both fronts, so lets waste no more time and get right on to it!
After more than six months of betting pinball777 edged out the field by the narrowest of margins, taking first by a mere one point and capturing just over 66% of the total points available this season. Though he didn't take the top places in any particular league, his consistency in each of them paid off, as his Top 100 finishes in Proleague, OSL, and MSL eventually amounted to an overall championship. Congratulations pinball777!
For all of you who reside in this Top 10 and picked fantasy, my condolences and better luck next season! GTR don't get too cocky!

After registering in April, this season was Lord_J's first, and he made the most of it by pulling away from the field by a sizable margin of seven points to take the trophy. While winning 66% of the total points available he proved most adept within the realm of GSL events, finishing in the Top 5 for Code-A and the Top 100 for both Code-S and Up-Down matches. Along with a respectable NASL effort, these performances carried him to victory. So, the next time you see this guy post his opinion in the nightly GSL live report thread, pay attention folks! Congratulations Lord_J!
Now for some minute bragging rights, lets pause to recognize those who came oh so close to winning, as well as our top finishers in each league and among staff:
