My favourite from each album has won every tournament so far :D With WDADU I struggle to separate my top 3, but early live versions of TKH elevate it above the others. Coincidentally, they are all the longest tracks on each album  :\
Whoaaaahh, ohhh, ohhhhh. Whoaaaahh, ohhhhh, ohhhhhh. Waaah, ahhh, haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaowwwwww

Metropolis vs. Learning to Live was the only final contended until the last vote! anything can happen if they'll meet again...
I use my sig to pimp some bands from Italy! Check out Elvenking (Power / Folk metal), Folkstone (Rock / Medieval metal), Arcana Opera (Gothic/Noir/Heavy metal) and the beautiful voice of Elisa!

Learning to Live was the only non-No. 1 seed to win its album tournament, and even that was just by 1 vote. The SFAM Championship went a similar way, but even with that the losing song was the No. 3 seed.

Looking forward to the upcoming playoffs!

Can I suggest placing an asterisk next to match results where the host breaks the tie? Just to indicate on the records that that was how the match was decided, rather than a regular 1-vote win.

I think if if 8VM replaced 6DOIT this would be the top 4 everyone expects. Am I wrong in saying 6DOIT is (generally) one of the less liked epics?

I’m okay with this final four.  Octavarium isn’t in my top 50 of DT songs let alone top four.

I like 6DOIT, but I am disappointed Breaking All Illusions didn't get through. I can take a small crumb of solace in the fact that 6DOIT vs BAI was the closest of the matchups.

A surprisingly quick and successful forum search has produced something I've been longing for for ages, an archive of previous winners of the Dream Theater Survivors prior to the start of the League format in 2013. So we are able to effectively produce a DTF Wall of Honour.

https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=3364.0

The only slight problem is, 2012's results are not included. However, I definitely remember the 2012 Survivor happening, and I'm 95% certain that Learning to Live was the champion that year. If someone else could possibly confirm that, that would be awesome. Meanwhile, just ahead of the official crowning of 2019's DTF Champion, and for ease of reference, the DTF Wall of Honour:

All are Survivor tournaments, unless stated.

2005:
1. A Change of Seasons
2. Learning to Live
3. Octavarium

2006:
1. A Change of Seasons
2. Learning to Live
3. Metropolis Pt. 1

2007:
1. A Change of Seasons
2. Octavarium
3. Metropolis Pt. 1

2008:
1. Octavarium
2. A Change of Seasons
3. Learning to Live

2009:
1. Octavarium
2. Metropolis Pt. 1
3. A Change of Seasons

2010:
1. Learning to Live
2. A Change of Seasons
3. Metropolis Pt. 1

2012:
1. Learning to Live (?)
2. ???
3. ???

2013 (League):
1. A Change of Seasons
2. Learning to Live
3. In the Name of God / Octavarium (No 3rd place match this year)

2014 (League):
1. Octavarium
2. A Change of Seasons
3. Learning to Live

2015 (League, Division 1)
1. Octavarium
2. Breaking All Illusions
3. A Change of Seasons

2016 (League, Division 1)
1. Octavarium
2. A Change of Seasons
3. Metropolis

2017:
1. Octavarium
2. A Change of Seasons
3. Metropolis

Well, it's basically like real life sports matches between heavyweights of their respective sports. The strongest teams always reach the end, and the actual winner is determined by luck, coincidence or the exceptional performance of the top player. Here I guess it depends on how many people actually vote on the given day of the poll.

A Change of Seasons is the 2019 League Champion!

Finishing a combined 41-0 and beating Octavarium, Learning to Live & Metropolis on the way to the championship makes for one of the most impressive performances we've ever seen!

Thank you to EVERYONE who played along all year. Special thanks to those of you who left comments in the polls and in this thread. Ya'll make this a worthwhile endeavor.

I won't be running a DT League in 2020.....perhaps in 2021. If someone wants to run a DT Survivor, feel free. In the meantime, I'll be running leagues for Haken & Metallica. Should be fun.

A Change of Seasons returns to the top step of the DTF podium for the first time in 6 years, adding a fifth title to its championships of 2005, '06, '07 and 2013.

Congratulations and thank you to DoC for hosting this wonderful forum tradition, and to everyone who's posted to the discussion.

Time to update the total records. In 2016, I calculated that season's top 8's combined regular season records from every iteration of DT the League. Something fascinating from the update is that we now have a joint-leader on the all-time table, Octavarium's 2 losses this season bringing it level with ACOS.

A Change of Seasons - 113-2
Octavarium - 113-2
Breaking All Illusions - 109-6
Learning to Live - 109-6
Metropolis - 108-6-1
Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence - 105-9-1
Scarred - 98-14-3
Home - 96-16-3
