This was a pretty intense Mixr Legions test. For almost the entire match, the top three teams were all within a 100 point spread of each other. This was definitely one marathon of a test, but Team Red was the only team with any stamina left for the last 100 yard dash of this Legion race. Red got nearly 100 points more than Team Pink in the last 3 days and 200 more than Team Violet. Those teams finished second and third respectively. Team Green and Team Orange were neck and neck for most of this race as well, but Green ever so slowly pulled away during the final week becoming the last one in the winner circle.

I know the KPOP Idol Off 2 is a super exciting event. For that, Ningin is guilty as charged. I mean 81 prizes including Super Junior and SNSD autographs…fighting for your favorite KPOP Idol. It’s enough to make a KPOP fan go into an adrenaline-fueled rage. But here’s the thing. Stop spamming the entries. Really, only one entry is needed. Any more just makes you seem spastic. Save that energy for the matches themselves. You’re going to need it with all these close matches lately. Besides, you don’t want to get banned. I had to ban about 2 dozen people today and deleted about 2000 entries. One person actually commented 474 times. I kid you not. So yea, that’s all…that’s all. More »
