I thought this thread is for posters that actually follow progaming and don't need basic and obvious things explained. You didn't even post a damn list and you complain about others, what a douchebag... | ||

The 'Garimto' Award for Player of the Year Bisu. Ok, I said I was going to give a different view on things, but I don't think you can contest this. Right now he's looking a little shaky but for most of the year he was the scariest player around. The 'Mumyung' Award for Worst Player The Reach/rA duo. It's been painful to watch their games lately, seeing Reach getting 0-2'd out of his OSC group and rA losing to everybody in proleague. rA has had some success in the MSL, but he's had pretty easy groups and forGG got disqualified (if he hadn't been such an idiot he would have easily won with his MnM rush vs. FE). As legends of the game, their play has been extremely disappointing lately. The 'Boxer' Creativity/Inspiration Award How about Jaedong? From EE HAN TIMING to infolings, it looks like the play for ZvP will be different from here on out. Also, his heavy reliance on Lair tech is something I haven't seen before. The 'Chojja' Missing in Action Award [NC]Yellow. Where the heck are you? The Team of the Year Award ACE. Get together a bunch of old favorites with BoxeR at the helm, and what do you get? A huge fanbase (especially for a last place team) and free advertising. Did you hear the girls screaming after ACE 3-0'd STX? The 'WTF!' Moment of the Year Award forGG, why, why are you so stupid? Game of the Year We've seen a lot of great games this year, but I think the most intense that I've watched (despite what people might say about whether or not it was close) is sAviOr vs. Bisu on Katrina in the OSL Ro8. The 'Sea' Best Newcomer Award Kal. I really don't like the guy, but he's 26-16 in 2007 with a 67% winrate since June, and he looked quite confident in his 2-0 of his MSL survivor group The 'rA' Award for Proleague Performances Anytime. 'nuff said The Most Improved Hwasin, looks like he's matured a lot recently | ||

MSL champion The 'rA' Award for Proleague Performances Anytime. He's availalbe for Lecaf, anytime of the year The Most Improved Jaedong.

Bisu - Hands down this guy has been literally owning starleagues. The 'Mumyung' Award for Worst Player Justin aka Bifrost aka Whatever - This guy just sucks. If it weren't for his 2v2 play, he'd be known as the most pathetic 1v1 player ever. Seriously this guy sucks. The 'Boxer' Creativity/Inspiration Award Silver - Innovative ZvT on Monty Hall. GGPlay should be thanking him for his OSL win. The 'Chojja' Missing in Action Award GoodFrienD - Oh Where Art Thou? The Team of the Year Award Lecaf - On a tear recently with Anytime and Jaedong. We know that they lack depth, but when your 1-2 punch produces these results, who needs depth? The 'WTF!' Moment of the Year Award Chrh > Bisu. Lawl That or FBH being a usual faggot. Game of the Year Iris vs Savior Game 5 Arkanoid - Hands down the most intense game this year. The 'Sea' Best Newcomer Award What qualifies as Newcomer? If Debut this year, then Flash, as he's the only thing keeping KTF up these days. The 'rA' Award for Proleague Performances Anytime - This guy literally owns Proleague. The Most Improved Stork - Don't like him, but you gotta say he's been getting it done lately. | ||

Bisu - Won GOMTV 1(Beat god-mode Savior 3-0), GOMTV 2(Arguably the best PvP), and a 2nd place running in GOMTV3. The 'Mumyung' Award for Worst Player Clon - Watching his games makes me sad. He screws up the best games. The 'Boxer' Creativity/Inspiration Award Silver - Innovative ZvT on Monty Hall, changed the way Zergs played there. The 'Chojja' Missing in Action Award Silver - After introducing that sexy Monty build and placing 2nd in last year's MSL, where are you? The Team of the Year Award Lecaf - The big 3:Jaedong, ForGG, Anytime. They've been doing good and Jaedong just tore it up in indiv. leagues too  The 'WTF!' Moment of the Year Award Bisu beating Savior 3-0. Who expected that? Game of the Year Iris vs Savior Game 5 @ Neo Arkanoid - So sick. The 'Sea' Best Newcomer Award Mind or JD, but i think JD was tearing it up '06 as well? - Mind 3-1's Bisu, beats Savior, rapes everyone afterwards. The 'rA' Award for Proleague Performances Stork - PL beast, check the records The Most Improved Jaedong - This guy went from pretty good to the top 3 players. Best ZvT and ZvZ in the world and proved his ZvP to beat Stork 3-1. Pretty good IMO | ||

Two MSL wins, an MSL second place, and an OSL third place? In a single year? Come on. The 'Mumyung' Award for Worst Player Clon's actually a better player than the statistics make him out to be. No, the real candidate for this award is Justin, with his 9-22 record in 2007 and current 13-game losing streak. The 'Boxer' Creativity/Inspiration Award As much as I hate his play, Silver's ZvT build on Monty Hall was a stroke of genius, especially given how many crybaby Zergs were bitching about the map's TvZ balance. The 'Chojja' Missing in Action Award How about GoodFriend? GF went from a perennial Starleague participant to missing the major leagues entirely AND getting booted from KTF. He hasn't even played a game since August. The Team of the Year Award I don't really care who wins this; the Proleague is boring. Khan or HERO probably deserves it. SKT1, KTF, eSTRO, Ace, FOX, Soul, and Hanbit are clearly out of the running, anyway. The 'WTF!' Moment of the Year Award KTF demoting GoodFriend, Chojja, and Aqua. Game of the Year Game 5 of the OSL final between Iris and GGPlay. Just... wow. I may be forgetting a few games, but that's the one that really sticks out in my mind. The 'Sea' Best Newcomer Award You can make a case for Mind, Jaedong, or Flash. Flash debuted in 2007, so he's a good candidate. Mind and Jaedong's first televised games were in early 2006. You could argue that they're not newcomers, but I wouldn't; they didn't come into their own until 2007. The 'rA' Award for Proleague Performances Stork or Sea. The Most Improved DarkElf. The guy went from punching bag to legitimate player. Despite debuting in late 2005, DarkElf had only played 12 televised games before 2007, earning a 3-9 record in that span of time. In 2007, DarkElf went 29-20 and made the OSL twice. Then he got stuck with two of the hardest groups in the history of the sport. In Daum, DE's group consisted of him, Nada, Bisu, and Hwasin. In EVER 2007, it was him, Jaedong, Stork, and Nada. He's been a consistent Proleague performer for CJ, and getting play in the PL means that a player is doing well in the in-team tournaments, as well.  the only thing I think it's different would beWTF MOMENT OF THE YEAR! would go to Bisu 3-0 Savior or maybe lilsusie's appearance in the OSL Final "Are you watching Teamliquid.net? <3<3" | ||

The 'Garimto' Award for Player of the Year Bisu The 'Mumyung' Award for Worst Player Casy (This chappie actually got somewhere, then fell. Hard.)

Bisu. There is a reason why the term "bonjwa" was thrown around a lot this year. He just accomplished more in the starleagues this year than any other player. The 'Mumyung' Award for Worst Player Hazin[sam]. I was about to choose someone from ACE, but then I noticed that Mumyung beat this guy. Then I noticed that this guy didn't win a single game this year. The 'Boxer' Creativity/Inspiration Award Casy. I'm making this pick solely because of the fake fast expansion move against July in an OSL game early this year. The 'Chojja' Missing in Action Award Yellow. He's only played six games this year, and he might have the second-most famous name in the history of professional Starcraft. The Team of the Year Award CJ Entus. Although Lecaf had an amazing year, CJ has more players that are doing well and hence, a deeper roster. Also, I was impressed by Much and Xellos' request to be demoted to practice partners. If I knew the team chemistry of each team better, I would make a more educated guess, but right now, CJ just has a bunch of strong players on one team. The 'WTF!' Moment of the Year Award Bisu defeating Savior 3-0 in the MSL. No one expected Savior to lose in such a spectacular fashion to a Protoss player. This was more suprising than Mind's defeat of Bisu because Bisu's PvT was not his best matchup, and Savior's dominance lasted a significantly longer period of time. Game of the Year Bisu vs Savior (game 2, round of 8, EVER OSL on Katrina). I consider these two to be the best players in the world right now. This game was exciting to watch and struck me with awe. The Savior and Iris game (game 5, semifinals, Shinhan 3 OSL on Neo Arkanoid) was also epic, but I don't think Iris would have been considered the second-best player at that time. The 'Sea' Best Newcomer Award Mind. He came out of relative obscurity, and went on to win the MSL. I think that's a pretty good accomplishment for a newcomer. The 'rA' Award for Proleague Performances Sea. Although Anytime had more wins, Sea had less losses. Also, I think Sea would beat Anytime if they played. The Most Improved Mind. Again, he came out of relative obscurity and went on to win the MSL. I don't know how much more improvement you can have than that. | ||
