Hey all!
This contest we sadly didn't find a good enough guide to pick as our new guide winner for the Support category. Instead, we've decided to pick another updated guide to keep the number of winners the same, and to make sure the prize is awarded to an author that deserves it.
Special thanks to everyone who took part and see you in the next one! 😁

Congratulations to all the winners and a huge thank you to all the judges. I possibly cannot imagine how much work you must have put in to read through all guides!
Thank you for picking my Yuumi guide, I can barely realize it just yet but it's a huge honor for me.

O.O Wait my guide won... twice? :D <33
Not gonna lie I didn't doubt that I'll place well in the off-meta category. But the fabulous category??? :D
You guys have no idea how much that means to me. Ever since I created my first award-winning guide I always felt kind of... behind, in terms of style, presentation and fabulous-ness. As if I only kept winning because I am a solid writer instead of being a good "guide artist". This trend followed even through my AP Miss Fortune guide days. Everyone was using these pretty tables and responsive formatting stuff while I still struggled with the-most-basic columns >.< . After releasing my Anivia guide I knew I slightly improved, but I still felt kind of like a loser visually-wise. So winning in a category purely based on style, colors, formatting, and aesthetic means the world to me <3
Okay okay my story aside, I would like to give a special shoutout to all the judges <3
Not only for the hard work they did reviewing all these guides but also because we all know they would probably easily win in their respective categories if they wouldn't be part of the jury :D
"I guide others to a treasure I cannot possess." ~ The whole jury team, probably
A bonus shoutout to @ Aerenax - I knew you've got it in you! You absolutely deserved this one <3
Thank you so much <333

Anivia guide!Thank you so much <333
The comment section here looks like the Oscar Award speeches - that shows how much appreciation members of mobafire have for the judges and this site as a whole. In a game that can be as toxic as acid, this community sure isn't. Congratulations to all the winners, may they continue to do their awesome work and may the rest of us have more luck, skill and passion for writing guides in the next one !
Wait... I am actually super surprised... I didn't even expect a honourable mention not to mention a win
Reason is I wanted to put a lot more time into the guide adding a lot of things over the break, but I couldnt actually do much and added only a bit during the judging peroid. As well as me accidentally replacing my early game section with a copy of my item section in my guide for 1.5 weeks during the judging peroid.
But thanks a lot! It means a lot to me. And congrats to all other winners =)
(Also why is Fruxo, the adc judge, not in between the mid and support judge rather than the very end.)(This is at the bottom)

After judging our guide contests since Season 8, I Am Goliath decided to step down and participate instead. His guide for Urgot is still legendary after all these years, and it's finally on the podium as one of the winners of this guide contest.

Nothing better than a short and sweet guide to quickly grasp the ins and outs of a champion. Larkana_'s guide for Bel'Veth is just that, and it's the ideal resource to check before the match starts.

Learn how to play Poppy from a Diamond Poppy main! Kocykek has two amazing guides for Poppy but we could only pick one. If having two guides for the same champion doesn't prove the author is passionate about their champion, then we don't know what does!

It's been a while, but LordGrox is back on the podium thanks to their amazing guide for Rek'Sai! The guide goes over various common topics but also more advanced ones such as the correct mindset and Rek'Sai's micro and macro aspects.

Shark of Void has joined our community not even a year ago and has recently created a wonderful learning resource for Ziggs.

If you're looking to learn more about how to properly itemize Samira or how to best combo her abilities, make sure to check their corresponding chapters.

Aerenax scores their first guide contest win for their amazing Rakan guide! Find all the info you need on abilities, items, runes and more advanced topics such as positioning and warding, and play Rakan like never before. Sadly the guide doesn't teach you how to find the perfect Xayah for you, but we're sure you've got this handled! 😁
<Wingman>
Wicked Cherry is a name most of us know so it won't be a surprise to finally see them as one of the winners. Their guide for Yuumi caught our attention this contest and it's a must read for all Yuumi fans! Learn how to best support your team and carry them through victory by effectively using your abilities and efficiently placing your wards!

It's not the first time Tauricus2017 proves their Off-Meta knowledge in the guide contests. This is their third victory in this category, once again with their amazing guide for Anivia! A very in-depth guide that covers absolutely everything you could be looking for when learning how to play Anivia. Even though the guide is lengthy, it's easy to find out what you're looking for, and going through the information feels like a breeze thanks to the guide's beautiful formatting.
<Fabulous>
Tauricus' guide introduces an intriguing red-blue color theme. This stays present throughout the entire guide, and is showcased through code and art. The guide itself is formatted very well, and every section offers new details to admire, while sticking to the central theme. This theme and the accompanying art are what makes this guide stand out and combined with its consistency and well-executed code are what makes this guide the winner of the fabulous category!
Thanks to all the authors for writing all these awesome guides, and to the judges for spending the time to go through thousands of candidates. I hope everyone enjoyed the contest and may these guides help you with your ranked journey this season!
If you are a winner you will be contacted this week via email to coordinate prizing, check your email!
