This year's "game" is a job, not a game

This predictability actually takes some of the fun out of the for me.

I still enjoyed this year, but just not spectating this year as much as last year or 2012 or other years.

6th seed alliance beat the #1 seed alliance in KC. 1st and 2nd seed after quals were on #1 seed. No one on the 6th seed was ranked higher than 8th (1710 was 43rd).

IMO rank doesn't mean much this year, resulting in scouting becoming an even more important element of the game.
