Hats off to you forgrim, for being a humble winner and not gloating. ...and also acknowleging there is a real problem... For those of us that did put in a ton on hours only to get nothing in the end, it's frustrating to say the least... So whats the lesson here for future events? ...to NOT play, and just wait until the last minute and let rubberbanding slingshot you to the top in only a few battles?
