McBura emerged victorious in season 192, marking their fourth championship title. This is shaping up to be a career that few others can boast about. The last time McBura won the first division was just two seasons ago.

McBura had a superb season, crushing Saimit in second place by a whopping four points. McBura was promoted from the second division in season 163 and has since completed 29 seasons at this level. In the last ten seasons, their rankings have been 1, 3, 1, 2, 6, 6, 2, 2, 4, and 4. The triumph was not entirely unexpected, as Sessebot had predicted McBura as a clear podium contender before the season began. On the official rankings, the player was ranked seventh.
