Each week during the 2012 season, the MLSsoccer.com editors shared their picks ahead of the league matches. Here are the final results from this year's slate of games.
How did you do? Check out MLSsoccer.com's newest fantasy game – MLS Fantasy: Pick 'Em.
MLSsoccer.com's inaugural editor's Pick 'Em came down to the wire, only the two at the top couldn't quite separate from each other.
Matt Doyle, known around these parts as "The Armchair Analyst," and director of video Jason Saghini barely edged out senior editor and ExtraTime Radio host Nick Firchau by correctly predicting 148 of 323 games during the regular season, finishing on a rough note to limp into the MLS Cup Playoffs at the top of the heap.
And although those three led the pack for most of the second half of the season, there wasn't a huge gap between the frontrunners and managing editor Jonah Freedman and editor-and-chief Greg Lalas. The difference between the top and bottom was just 13 games and four percent.
The editors' final results are below, as well as the top 10 overall leaderboard for MLS Fantasy: Pick 'Em.
