Shoutouts and Special Thanks:

- God. I believe in Him, He's my Lord and Savior and I've been enormously blessed by Him.
- My brother and mother, for their endless support in everything I do and care about.
- Kamikaze Potato, because without his contest analysis, my bracket would have gone an entirely different way (you should pay closer attention to his analysis next time!).
- @Ngamer64, for hosting the Guru; @NowItsAngeTime for co-hosting it, as well as everyone involved in the process.
- @Team_Rocket_Elite for hosting the Oracle, participating in the Stats and Discussion topics and being an overall awesome authority here.
- @Steiner, for hosting the Battle Challenge, in which I also participated in.
- @hylianknight3, for never letting me catch up to him in the Oracle Challenge, and both @tennisboy213 and @LusterSoldier for reinforcing that barrier.
- @ZenOfThunder for making me laugh continuously with his great GIFs and memes.
- Luster, TRE and @LeonhartFour, for contributing nice info and updates in the Stats topics, as well as everyone who also contributed to it.
- @charmander6000, for his pre-matches' analysis, which I also took into account to make my own predictions.
- And everyone who makes their own projects, write-ups, etc., and that overall make this board a really cool place to hang out (and that I may have forgotten to mention).

The Guru Champ Dilemma...

Due to the financial situation I've been in since I was a pre-teen, being a relatively young gamer, as well as having only become a "true" gamer until around 2009 (that is, actively looking to play critically acclaimed games, classics, and wanting to learn more about the industry in general), I haven't had much recent gaming experience. To be more precise, I haven't gone past the 6th Gen. Yes, that's right; I haven't really gone past the PS2 era. It's pretty hard to say it, honestly.

"But... What does that mean?"

It means that if GotD 2 was our next contest, I wouldn't have a thing to say, and I wouldn't want to do things like nominating Xenoblade Chronicles just because I love Shulk and mained him from the little time I played Smash 4. And do you know what game I'm playing right now? Surprise surprise, Undertale! That would be a really cruel thing to do (and besides, it will probably get in and perform realtively well anyway).

If we somehow had something like another Character Battle, another Best Game Ever (which is not happening soon), Best Item, or another Rivalry Rumble (which is probably never going to happen anyway), another story could be told.

"So, what's your plan?"

I guess I could wait until there is another contest that fits my own situation (sort of what happened in BYIG where DpObliVion had to wait for the next contest to make his nomination valid). I wouldn't feel good by relegating my nomination to someone else, but if I have to do it and you consider it fair, I'd be willing to do it.

What do you guys think?

Again, thanks to all of you. Love you guys so much.
