Spoiler
    The True Blues are QB (427 lifetime pts #1 overall), Ngamer (286 #2), Infil (163 #7), Jimbo (111 #11),    
    octo (53 #16), and surprisingly drag (38 #20).    
    #3 Come misses because he never scored in a kbot KotH last year, while Neo and Boss could still make the list if they score TONIGHT! *cough*
