ATD2012 Final: Ak Bars Kazan vs. Inglewood Jacks

[seventieslord]

Votes still keep coming in, so until they stop, I guess voting is still open.

I haven't been keeping score, but I have 15 votes right now.

[seventieslord]

Voting has finally slowed down. We have a winner, and I'll announce it later today, for suspense purposes.

I had Kazan in 6, but congratulations to arrbez nonetheless! Both of you built awesome teams!

[MadArcand]

So did I, but I think both teams were excellent. I had both winning their divisions from the start, actually.

Congrats, arrbez. EB called this before the playoffs started.

[seventieslord]

IIRC, I voted for both these teams all the way through.

I ended up not voting against either, as I didn't vote in the finals. (it was more than a vote apart, so I wasn't going to be a difference maker)

[arrbez]

Congrats on a great team Nik, and thanks to everyone who participated.

I'm happy to finally win this thing. Thanks guys!

[Bring Back Scuderi]

I had a very difficult time voting here, both built very strong clubs. Congrats to Arrbez on the win, and is this Gretzky's first championship in the ATD?

[Hobnobs]

Congratz to both teams! Very difficult desicion for me.

[TheDevilMadeMe]

Congrats arrbez, the right team won in the end.

[Nalyd Psycho]

Congrats Arrbez. You made a great team.

[Hedberg]

Congratulations Arrbez

[Velociraptor]

And Gretzky loses his virginity to Milt Dunnell

Congrats arrbez, you built a fine team. nik jr also had a very strong contender which made this series agonizing to pick a winner. Another great year, fellas!

[Jafar]

congrats

It's interesting that arrbez' Watson/Gretzky/Kurri line has 2 of the top 4 in the list below. Obviously Gretzky and Kurri played on the same line for the Oilers, but those are not the only playoff games played in their careers.
