The Garimto award - Who ever wins the finals .
The Boxer award - Probably Best . For his games on troy but don't know , there were little creative games , or i don't remember .
The Mumyung award - Probably BackHO
The Chojja award - Jaedong definitely .Althought there are a lot more for this .
The Sync award - maybe The Rock
The Bifrost award - Troy or Hwarango
Game of the tournament maybe Bisu vs Mind , but it wasn't impressive i can't remember all the games , maybe Best vs Nada .
The WTF moment i don't think there is probably July's golden mouse <3 .
Player most likely to Win the next starleague - Jaedong , maps will play a roll here .

The 'Garimto' Award for Player of the Tournament
Best. I don't know if I'd change this even if July were to win, unless July wins 3-0, which I don't think is likely. I think Best has been lights-out this OSL.
The 'Mumyung' Award for Worst Player
go.go, and he deservedly was wiped out in the first round. Other than upmagic the least deserving player in the OSL this season, I think.
The 'Boxer' Creativity/Inspiration Award
Luxury. Even though he lost out in the end to Best's superior macro, he pounded through the OSL with the most ingenuity, I think, and was reminiscent of Yellow of old. The ZvT on Troy vs Flash was wonderful.
The 'Chojja' Missing in Action Award
Wow there are so many. Perhaps it is Jaedong, since he's the biggest upset of the tournament. But he lost to a Boxer-esque gem by Casy. Personally I wonder if it isn't Mind, who was considered the premier TvP at the time, but somehow managed to go 1-2 in a pure protoss group.
The 'Sync' One Hit Wonder Award
Backho.
The 'Bifrost' Map of the Tournament Award
Hwarangdo. Troy was nice for ZvT and ZvP but TvP was such a bore.

Jaedong. He's got that fire again.

Go with your gut feeling. Which player showed the greatest creativity or brightened the tournament with his flair and inspiration?
It’d have to go to lux, not many inspired builds in this osl could come close to the build he did on troy, it was pure rape

The 'Garimto' Award for Player of the Tournament
Best. He's improved dramatically after that tragic loss to stork last OSL, and he's showing how bloodthirsty he's been for an OSL title since then. He's upped his game, and he's in the finals of the most prestigious starleague in the world. What else is there to say?
The 'Mumyung' Award for Worst Player:
Rock. I love him and his antics, but.. yeah. he can't get over that wall called PvZ.
The 'Boxer' Creativity/Inspiration Award
Flair and inspiration? Julyzerg. He's been an amazing force and watching him play in this OSL's been amazing. I missed his era of dominance, but I've always liked him from the VOD's that I've watched. Seeing him run for the golden mouse this OSL's showing me what it was like to watch July play during his prime.
The 'Chojja' Missing in Action Award
Nada. I want to see him do more in the OSL. I hope he can up his game once again and dominate once more.
The 'Sync' One Hit Wonder Award
Backho. I just...... don't like that kid and I hope he never makes it this far again.
The 'Bifrost' Map of the Tournament Award
Hwarangdo. makes me have Nostalgia. Could be a little better balanced though =( protosses forgot how to play with 1 gas which is why i believe it seems like Z>>>>P on that map.
Game of the Tournament:
Finals. Game 5.

Backho making it to the semifinals of the tournament. wtf?

The 'Garimto' Award for Player of the Tournament
Best - Even if he loses to July, he still gets it for achieving so much owning people left and right in this OSL (is this his first OSL run?). Truely the Devil Toss incarnation.
The 'Mumyung' Award for Worst Player
Backho - You 3-0 your group then get raped by July. Like how Mumyung started out owning with a high % then later on people wondered "wheres Mumyung? I havent seen him the Individual league after he busted into the scene", this is how Backho will end up. He busts into the scene owning our favorite players left and right but he just doesnt have that spark that makes him the outright winner. Sure he'll take a game or two from good players but in the end, hes going to end up like Mumyung...
The 'Boxer' Creativity/Inspiration Award
Luxury - after watching his games against Flash. Mind games > anything else. 2-0 Flash surely deserves the Boxer award
The 'Chojja' Missing in Action Award
So many contenders, but i'll go with Mind. Ever since he won last years MSL against Bisu. I didn't seen him go very far in either leagues and losing quite a few games in proleague (even though he beat Best and Jaedong but lost to Sea, Kal, FBH, Flash and....Hiya[wtf])
The 'Sync' One Hit Wonder Award
Was going to say Backho but since the title says "one hit wonder", Backho doesnt qualify since he hasn't hit anything so far. This goes to Hwasin (don't hate me). Hes a good player but.. hes already fading, hopefully I see him win at least 1 OSL - [As far as i know, this award predicts the next '1 hit wonder for the next OSL? correct me if im wrong please]
The 'Bifrost' Map of the Tournament Award
Hwarangdo - One of the few maps that gives Zergs some justice.
Game of the Tournament
I just watched the Lux vs Flash games and i must admit, it was very good. Any of the games qualifies for this.
The 'WTF!' Moment of the Tournament Award
BackHo beats Jaedong and Jaedong is eliminatied... enuff said.
Player Most Likely to Win the Next Starleague
Jaedong - For his preformance against Much in the MSL. It was Jaedong on crack, even after the brutal 3-0 he still looked focused in the game. Truely a champion if he keeps it up he'll own the next OSL.
This is only my OPINION. If you disagree with me, please PM me and say why (Don't hate me). If you really what to flame me, again, just PM me so I can at least get my flame-suit ready...
EDIT: changed a few things, I got mixed up in the games  . And i watched the lux vs flash series.. :D

first time post, long time reader of the site...
here's my tentative vote for each, finals pending.
The 'Garimto' Award for Player of the Tournament
Best: 3-0'ed his group, bulldozed Much, and won 3 in a row vs. Luxury in clutch fashion (despite Lux's epic choke). This could change if he gets stomped in the finals.
The 'Mumyung' Award for Worst Player
NOT backho - even though July crushed him with his enormous fists, backho's journey to the semifinals deserves some respect - it's not all a fluke. I'd go with Stork here for choosing his teammate as his easy win and promptly losing.
The 'Boxer' Creativity/Inspiration Award
Luxury for winning the mind games vs. Flash.
The 'Chojja' Missing in Action Award
Agree with Victor for Mind. Considered the best tvp, he went 1-2 in a group consisting of a gimp, a geriatric, and a backho.
The 'Sync' One Hit Wonder Award
Backho.
The 'Bifrost' Map of the Tournament Award
Troy. See Lux vs. Flash or Best vs. Lux.
Game of the Tournament
All of July's wins make me feel warm and fuzzy.
The 'WTF!' Moment of the Tournament Award
Backho > Bisu. Backho > Jaedong qualifies too, but they ARE teammates and know each others styles (ahem shower), while Bisu was coming off an impressive victory over Mind.
Player Most Likely to Win the Next Starleague
Jaedong, he seems to have mental toughness and was able to overcome a (arguably) minor slump.

Jaedong gets the Chojja award no questions asked. No 1 PR doesn't make it through the groups.
I think BackHo deserves the Boxer award for creativity simply because he is, if nothing else, creative and unpredictable. He does things that would never occur to others (except on a what not to do).

Depends. If July takes it 5 games, win or lose, hes my POT, if BeSt sweeps or 3-1's him, its BeSt

July for sure in his series vs BackHo and BeSt . Everything from fake hatcherys to draw backhos army away, to 5 pools, to drone drills, to great macro play in the finals game 3. By far the most entertaining player

Definitely Jaedong getting knocked out so early. Maybe Flash losing to Lux was surprising to some, but honestly I've always known Lux can elevate his ZvT so not a huge surprise to me
Player Most Likely to Win the Next Starleague
Luxury is my first choice. After his loss to BeSt he will be practicing his ZvP like no other... and he already has ZvZ and ZvT covered, so I would say Lux. My second choice would be Flash who in my eyes is still the best player in the world ATM.

My votes
Garimto Player of the Tournament: July
-Hard to argue against the guy who utterly dominated the finals 3-0 against the best protoss in the world to become the first zerg and second player ever to win the golden mouse
Mumyung Worst Player: BackHo
For cheesing his teammate Jaedong out of the tournament and taking up spaces that could have been filled by mind bisu or casy, all to throw it all away vs july in one of the most pathetic match performances in the tournament. Sure he was more successful than some, but that doesnt make up for what he deprived us of.
Boxer award for Creativity/Inspiration: July
Not only did he win the finals with a 5 pool (from x positions and despite best losing very few workers to it), an absolutely outstanding and gutsy drone drill, and a clinching match in which we saw guardians, he also successfully perfomed a proxy hatch zvz strat, added to the flair and intrigue of the tournament by pairing the brothers in the same group and advancing out of a group he was put in to be an easy win, and perhaps most of all covers the "inspiration" part by proving that his "generation" of starcraft players can still win, and even achieve the golden mouse.
Chojja MIA award:Jaedong/Rock/Backho
Jaedong was probably a lot of peoples favorite to win the tournament and yet failed to even make the group stages which obviously puts him here. However as far as "not living up to his billing" i think most people would have trouble finding less impressive quarter and semifinal performances than what the other 2 named gave.
Sync One-hit-wonder: BackHo
There is no way this is NOT by far the best he will ever do in a starleague.
Bifrost "Map of the tournament": Troy
Best vs Nada
July vs Best
Luxury vs Flash
Much vs Bisu
Game of the Tournament: Best vs Nada at troy
-I personally thought this was a really really impressive win that Best pulled off, though many other games were very good. Luxury vs Flash at troy was good, July vs Best at Andromeda was very good as well.

-July coming out of nowhere to win it all, Backho making it to the semis, and flash not making the semis are up there also.
Most likely to win next OSL: Best
He 3-0'd the best round 2 group, showed brilliance and grittiness in his wins over luxury and nada, displayed complete domination vs Much, made it to the finals where he lost because of what appeared to be a lack of preparation; something this experience should fix.

The 'Garimto' Award for Player of the Tournament:
July, without a doubt. He was slumping for a long time, got shuffled from team to team, and despite it all, blasted his way through this OSL in convincingly strong fashion.
The 'Mumyung' Award for Worst Player:
Even though I'm a sort of fan of, Rock.
The 'Boxer' Creativity/Inspiration Award:
Luxury was going to be my choice until the finals happened, during which July varied his play to such a wonderful degree that, alongside the rest of his tourney play, he wins this for me.
The 'Chojja' Missing in Action Award:
Flash, definitely. It's invariably going to be the current dominant player that, even if he fails at the semis, something feels wrong about him going out.
The 'Sync' One Hit Wonder Award:
Dunno. I'll pick Rumble.
The 'Bifrost' Map of the Tournament Award:
I guess I'll pick Andromeda, though I didn't really feel that one map stood far above any others this OSL.
Game of the Tournament:
Without hesitation, July vs Best, Game 3.
The 'WTF!' Moment of the Tournament Award:
Personally, Luxury taking out Flash.
Player Most Likely to Win the Next Starleague:
Speaking realistically, it's a toss-up between several different strong players at the moment. 'Since that is too hard to choose, I'll just go with the less realistic, more heart driven choice.

I can't believe that BeSt is going to win the GARIMTO award, are you fucking kidding me? What a bunch of sore losing fan boys; hell half of the votes were made before the finals took place, give me a break.

The 'Garimto' Award for Player of the Tournament:
July. E-Z question.
The 'Mumyung' Award for Worst Player:
Rock.
The 'Boxer' Creativity/Inspiration Award:
July. If hes not allowed, then Luxury, because his build on Troy was something magical.
The 'Chojja' Missing in Action Award:
Jaedong, obviously. Hottest zerg in the world loses in group stages to BackHo?
The 'Sync' One Hit Wonder Award:
Haha, July. The OSL curse will hit him and he will do very poorly next OSL.
The 'Bifrost' Map of the Tournament Award:
Troy, obv. even though its a gay imbal map.
Game of the Tournament:
July vs Best Game 3, secondary pick: Luxury vs Flash Game 1.
The 'WTF!' Moment of the Tournament Award:
Uh, everything? Jaedong gets knocked out in group stages, the round of 8 consists of mostly Protoss and people that have no chance to win, namely BackHo, Jangbi, July, Rock (oh how wrong I was about one of those four!), then to top it all off July comes from a nonfactor to win the whole tournament 3-0 against BeSt!. Jesus what wasnt unexpected. But I will say Luxury > Flash, because it wasnt that I didnt think Lux could do it, its that I didnt think he could do it so convincingly. I mean he crushed Flash, and that was WTF.
Player Most Likely to Win the Next Starleague:
Uh, isnt it obvious?

The 'Garimto' Award for Player of the Tournament
July. His Z v P looked sharper than ever before, and he proved that an old timer is never down for the count, that it's always possible to come back from a slump. His bravado in cheesing twice in a row in the final showed that he is an early game threat, and he beat BeSt straight up in a macro game. Everything he touched turned to gold, and he's got a mouse to prove it.
The 'Mumyung' Award for Worst Player
BackHo. Every match involving this player was a disappointment, and as far as he got, all his matches were a reminder that one player didn't seem to belong (yet he won anyway. Grrr.)
The 'Boxer' Creativity/Inspiration Award
I can't decide. Casy's build vs Jaedong stuck out as a very innovative strategy and perfect abuse of a map. Luxury's guardian build against flash also had the touch of brilliance. I can't forget also July's boldness in double cheese in the finals. So I abstain here.
The 'Chojja' Missing in Action Award
Jaedong. Falling out in group stages was completely unexpected, especially with the fire he's been playing in the other tournaments. His absence is sad really.
The 'Sync' One Hit Wonder Award
BackHo. He's not going anywhere ever again.
The 'Bifrost' Map of the Tournament Award
Abstain.
Game of the Tournament
Finals Game 1. 5 pooling is massively ballsy on the grand stage, and July did it with gusto. It takes serious balls to take such a gamble with everything on the line, and this game sticks out in my mind more than any of the others.
The 'WTF!' Moment of the Tournament Award
July's 5pool. It really set the tone for the last match and had the fans sitting on the edge of their seats.
Player Most Likely to Win the Next Starleague
BeSt. Don't think we've seen the last of this new DevilToss. I think he's going to comeback with an absolute passion and destroy the field in the next tournament (unless he runs into Jaedong).

my votes:
The 'Garimto' Award for Player of the Tournament
Julyzerg- You can't achieve more than winning the whole thing. BeSt no doubtedly had a harder road, but losing 3-0 was just too much to call him the strongest in the tourney.
The 'Mumyung' Award for Worst Player
Rock- Reavers... seriously...
The 'Boxer' Creativity/Inspiration Award
Luxury- His game against Flash on Andromeda was the only moment I could think of. Flash walls of his nat with the normal rax and 2supply depots and expos. Lux 3 hatch mutas and couldn't do any damage. Time passes and Flash is moving out for his midgame push made of 3tanks, vessel, and a massive mnm army. Lux throws down two lurkers to harass the two supply depots at Flash's nat. Flash responds by putting his tanks out front to kill the lurks without taking any damage. Luxury knows Flash's army is totally bunched up at this point, so he uses his mutas to kill two of Flash's tanks. Lux then proceeds to rape the hell out of Flash's army with a flank and wins the game soon after.
The 'Chojja' Missing in Action Award
Mind- You got three protoss in your group and you still couldn't advance... dude come on.
The 'Sync' One Hit Wonder Award
Backho- No explanation needed.
The 'Bifrost' Map of the Tournament Award
Andromeda- I just happened to like lux vs best and july vs best on this map.
Game of the Tournament
BeSt vs Luxury Game 4 @ Othello. Really nice straight up game that showcased BeSt's superiority.
The 'WTF!' Moment of the Tournament Award
Rock's reavers attempting to stop mutas by killing the eggs.....hahahahaha
Player Most Likely to Win the Next Starleague
BeSt- Either find a counter for early agression PvZ or pray for a no Zerg line next season. You have Bisu on your team, so shaping up PvZ shouldn't be too hard. BeSt will come back with an improved PvZ and he will own it up next season.

In light of recent events, I'm going to have to change my vote for the WTF Moment of the tournament.
+ Show Spoiler +I think I have Bisu's vote :-)

Honestly, I hoped that if NaDa didn't make it that July would get another. Great outcome!

Luxury, I loved his builds against Flash.

Flash, but this outcome pleases me so much :D.

Best, I don't have a great basis for this but I think especially so if the maps are altered.

Too many to pick a particular one, but to continue on my Luxury spree I'd say Luxury demolishing Flash. I expected this but I was still surprised(iknoritelolol).
