2018
For Eurovision Prediction 2018, the game had a brand new home here on ESCXTRA.com. An (at the time) unprecedented 218 players took part which more than doubled the previous record of 82 players achieved back in 2016. In addition, it was more than triple the 58 players that took part last year.
In an extremely close competition in which the top 10 were separated by just seven points, it was ESCXTRA.com’s Ryan that took victory but do not worry, his predictions were all validated by fellow team members! Nevertheless, it was all about the grand prize which went to the highest placed finisher not affiliated with ESCXTRA.com.
Therefore it was Alex S. that won the 2018 grand prize, narrowly holding off Emily. A special well done to Johanna S. who secured a third consecutive top ten finish… surely a win is around the corner?
