A little late, but congratulations to FA on winning, and in grand fashion with both first and second place. It's too bad I couldn't keep that record, but hey, I guess I'll always be the first. Jarad's a worthy winner, definitely the set I wanted to win the most.
Likewise, massive congratulations to Joe on third, his highest ever placing and with all the work that went into ATJ, it's a reward well deserved. I'm not actually a big fan of the set, but I was happy for your success.
I was surprised and humbled to place twice in the top five again and with two sets from the same movement. Despite the huge delays, I'm happy that Illbleed seems to have met everyone's expectations. I thought Reynolds would place over Cashman, but I can understand the preference for one over the other.
It's great to see Big Mac place so well in his debut contest, you're truly one of the best newcomers ever and I love Deathborn.
Koala Kong was a great swan song for the departed Warlord. I pray to Mighty Rooligan you'll be unbanned soon.
I don't care for Dawson especially at its placing. However, it was still my favourite Junahu set of the contest, so if we're fortunate, maybe it's a sign of things to come.
Very pleased that Skull Kid placed high and that Roy again got into the top ten, another great set and a style that I want to see you return. Fascinating ideas, augmented by your speciality in-smash, attention to detail.
I was totally shocked by Soldier's top ten placing. I'm even more humbled by this, I had absolutely no idea how that set would be received as I've never made a set like that before. It took a long time, but it was well worth it in the end. You guys are awesome for giving it a chance, despite it being a late entry into a movement and for a mode that's not exactly liked.
Though no top ten placing, BubbleMan.EXE is a deserved high placing for Nick. It's not my favourite of yours, that still goes to Galaxy Man, but this was definitely a well-constructed, thoughtful submission.
Sakuya may not be my bag, though it's a freaking Merge set at this height in the top fifty, that can't be bad.
Huge congratulations to Majora, Plorf, Smashbot, Warlord, Kat and Big Mac on their top twenty placing. I adore the sets for Trent, Atmey and certainly enjoyed S&S, Dark Metaknight, Sauron and even Zak Gramayre was a fun experiment. Thanks also to all the other submitters who placed and all the voters - lets get a bigger amount next time! In fact, lets make the contest better next time as well, I know we can do it.
As a side not to Khold's post, this is the perfect time for you all to delve into the critically-acclaimed
