Now for the fun part:
(Note: there’s two charts that came out weird. We’ll just have to live with their imperfections.)
Original Chart Code from Alan aka loserpoints formerly of Raw Charge. All weirdness is me force feeding it data in a new format this year.
The Community Vote final summary is coming up soon, so watch for that, and until next year, this has been your Top 25 Under 25.
