HOT OR NOT -- FINALS

[ogron]

These are the host numbers. A big thanks to all of them, especially Wicket who managed to host 7x3 games during regular season. That's the maximum amount, 1 game in each time slot.
Also a thank you to Board and M_M God who organized staff side of things both for multiple weeks in a row.

While it seems there's a lot of staffers in this list that hosted, understand that it's difficult to get anyone to commit to a schedule before time. It was very hectic during regular season with 4 hosts needed for each time slot, while most played in at least 1 league.

Some great work by mods. Hopefully we get the same dedication this season!

yup, staff definitely deserves a shout-out as well. i'm sure most players realize this, but the players volunteering as staff members are an integral part of all our leagues, and without the help of our brilliant developers and competent hosts we would be in deep trouble.

thanks.

Closing Comments


Thanks to everyone for participating in TWDT this season, and congratulations to Dreamwin's Terrorist, Tiny's Paddington, and Stannis's Baratheon on winning TWDT-J, TWDT-D, and TWDT-B, respectively. Terrorist had the best season out of all eight teams, winning the regular season, reaching all three finals, and taking home a championship. Paddington was a close second, finishing third during the regular season, reaching two finals, and winning a title, while Baratheon finished fifth, making one final, and winning a championship.

Commodo's Silence, along with Terrorist, was one of the two best squads all year across all three leagues, earning a bye into the Semi-Finals after a second-place finish during the regular season. A series of unfortunate events caused them to lose their #1 seed and created some tough Semis matchups, and that bye can sometimes be a curse with that two-week hiatus, and they surprisingly failed to reach the Finals despite a terrific season and Commodo winning two of the three titles last year.

Mean Gene's Stark had a strong finish to the season, climbing back to fourth, but were eliminated in the Quarter-Finals. Despite some drama they reached the playoffs with ease, and had a very strong season in javelin and some success in base as well. Maketso's Blooms had terrible luck all season, but they kept at it, and grinded out some wins in warbird and base, but where they really shined was jav, where they were serious contenders for the title, narrowly losing to Paddington, ending their only realistic path to a title.

Cres's Fire duked it out with Blooms for the final playoff spots for several weeks near the end of the season, but a brutal TWDT-B schedule did them in, despite having a very good basing line. They had some strong pieces in warbird, but Raazi's inactivity and inconsistent play held them back from really flourishing.

Skatarius's Kamikaze was an unmitigated disaster, and finished dead last by a significant margin.

The race for the final playoff spot was exciting, the Paddington/Blooms TWDT-J quarter-final match was amazing, Cripple broke the record for most kills in a TWDT-B game Week 3, Shadowmere hit 20 and 19 kills in several games, the jav Final between Paddington and Terrorist was epic, Dreamwin demolished the league in javelin to the point where normalizing his rating to 100 means no one else hits 70, Paddington had three 50-49 warbird games that had audiences mesmerized, the basing final between Baratheon and Terrorist was awesome and the audio commentary even better, and a bunch of newer players like Kado and Mr. Homo had breakout seasons, putting them on the radar for TWL, among many other great moments.

Hopefully most of you had fun and enjoyed the competition and the Hot or Nots.
