It's been a few months since we began, and after lots of good music and a whole lot of rounds, we have finally reached the end of the tournament. The quality of the tracklists was evident in just how nailbitingly close the final stages were, and with the final result still up for dispute, the tournament has been called and the most equitable outcome sought.
And the winner is ...
More to the point, the winners are:
LemonMacPhisto and U2VertigoFly!
Congratulations to both of our winners! The result of the final round was LemonMacPhisto and U2VertigoFly tied on 20-20, followed by Axver in second on 17. This means that although Lancemc missed out on a shot at the third place play-off, he nonetheless receives third place. So let's give out some imaginary medals.
1. GOLD: LemonMacPhisto and U2VertigoFly
2. SILVER: Axver
3. BRONZE: Lancemc
Congratulations to our medal winners!
And now that we've had the popular winner, here are the critics!
