I’m so glad to see D5 win best editing!! The whole time I was watching it, I kept thinking: Dear lord, I wish I could vote for this for editing!

[Sayoria]

Yeah, D5 was amazing. I have a knack of just pinning out Best in Show when I see it. The fact I got that feeling just 10 videos into the contest with this one and not seeing the rest was pretty telling of how good it was.

All in all, amazing job everyone. Great showing as always!

Does anyone know where I can find U4 video, "Raid Shadow Legend" by Pants? It was one of my favorites and it seems to literally be the only video not on Youtube or at least somewhere lol.

While YouTube is the most popular video-sharing platform, there are other platforms like Vimeo, Dailymotion, or specialized gaming video sites where the video might be available.
