The final just concluded. Congratulations to Australia, who defeated hosts India by 6 wickets and, in doing so, avenged both group stage losses over the course of the knockout stage. The total number of runs was 481 (so special mentions to Deadpocketss (9) and hockeyD13 (Ozark) (19), who were both very close to the correct run total).

Here is how everyone did (juleandor's pick was excluded because it came after the game had started):

Ruler \ Team	India	Australia
Deadpocketss
juleandor
Firkinvald
Xineoph

hockeyD13 (Ozark)

king qaz

And here are the final standings:

Ruler	Prev. Total	Final	Total	Tiebreaker Diff	Picks
hockeyD13 (Ozark)	5	4	9	19	5
king qaz	4	4	8	208	3
Deadpocketss	6	0	6	9	4
Firkinvald	6	0	6	219	4
happy5214	5	0	5	119	4
juleandor	3	0	3	#N/A	2
jacka	2	0	2	299	1
Xineoph	2	0	2	#N/A	2

For a comparison, juleandor would have finished third had his pick been on-time, so he lost 5 Legion Cup points and a Global Cup point.

As for who actually earned the cup points, here is the Legion Cup point distribution (hockeyD13 (Ozark) received a bonus point for making the most correct picks):

Ruler	Points
hockeyD13 (Ozark)	11
king qaz	7
Deadpocketss	5
Firkinvald	3
happy5214	1

Here is the Global Cup points distribution:

Ruler	Points
hockeyD13 (Ozark)	5
king qaz	3
Deadpocketss	1

hockeyD13 (Ozark) is the winner of the contest, and will receive 2 slots of tech.
