Auron had been long since written off as a weak heavy, before smashing four tough foes, and taking a heavy crown.. to everyone's surprise.

It's not unusual for the runner up to upgrade. However the odds have always been heavily stacked towards the division champion in the upgrade pools. But for the first time this season the champ failed to upgrade, while the runner up graces the leagues of Godlike.

Some call it the best bonus match we've ever run. Some try to block out its existence entirely and pretend it never happened. Google returns the RPGDL as the top result for Depp vs Bowie. Trainwreck or smashing success? You decide!

Roger Bacon, lauded as Godlike for his ability to status playable characters, was often mocked for his lack of boss killing powers. Yet in season 12 he managed to prove the naysayers wrong by beating another boss.

While the RPGDL has hosted the FE stat FAQ at www.rpgdl.com/FE.php for months, the Fire Emblem characters have not been competing in the RPGDL proper...until now thanks to being ranked with 100% approval in season 12.

Having lost to Fou-Lu in the past, Myria proves that times can change in the RPGDL by beating him to take a championship, becoming the second female Godlike champion (or first according to the people who pretend that Season 2 never happened).

After barely avoiding her entire game getting axed, Maya managed to secure a middle title in a very tough field.

FF8 characters traditionally struggle to get wins, but this season Irvine singlehandedly took down a final boss with massive HP. Evil Gaia must simply reserve his demonstration of real ultimate power for next season, it would seem.

Ronfar, not expected to do well in Light, managed to blow away spectators as he not only made it to the finals, but earned an upgrade to Middle.
