It's been an interesting season. I ended the last season 5th, but had only 650k total steps. This time I will finish with 100k steps more, but it's only enough for 8th place.
Last season, despite a good place, I had wasted at least 9-12 points, by not paying attention who my rivals had been. This season, I played carefully and all lost matches were when I couldn't do anything more.
So what I am saying is, that this passing season has been far more competitive that the previous one.
Congrats to @new.things !
