The 'Garimto' Award for Player of the Tournament
Fantasy

The 'Mumyung' Award for Worst Player
Rock

The 'Boxer' Creativity/Inspiration Award
Fantasy

The 'Chojja' Missing in Action Award
Jaedong - It just sucks having GGPlay be the last hope for zerg in the round of 8.

The 'Sync' One Hit Wonder Award
GGPlay

The 'Bifrost' Map of the Tournament Award
Medusa - Fuck plasma

Game of the Tournament
Game 2 Fantasy vs GGPlay

The 'WTF!' Moment of the Tournament Award
Game 3 Flash/GGPlay - How...

Player Most Likely to Win the Next Starleague
Effort - Just like oov's protege was in this final, savior is coaching this kid to the top, until savior rapes him in the finals.

The 'Garimto' Award for Player of the Tournament
Stork - He finally won gold, showed us some entertaining games, and probably broke his "finalphobia."

The 'Mumyung' Award for Worst Player
Rock - SUP GUYZ I WENT 0-3 IN MY GROUP (and I'm not as cool as Backho)

The 'Boxer' Creativity/Inspiration Award
Stork - His PvP series vs. Best was simply inspiring. He predicted the correct build in game 2 and countered it, did awesome speed shuttle timing attacks on games 2 & 3, and did a double proxy gate inside his opponents main.

The 'Chojja' Missing in Action Award
Jaedong - The Jaedong? Eliminated in the preliminaries? WHAT?

The 'Sync' One Hit Wonder Award
Fantasy - I don't see him coming back to the Semis anytime soon.

The 'Bifrost' Map of the Tournament Award
Chupung-Ryeong - Macro games as well as cheese games are extremely fun to watch on this map. In particular, the "backdoor" on the nat also created some insane situations.

Game of the Tournament
Fantasy vs. Nada, Game 2 - The most ridiculous late-game TvT I have ever seen.

The 'WTF!' Moment of the Tournament Award
Stork VS. Best Semifinals, Game 4 - Stork looked like he was going for a manner pylon, but instead he did a double proxy gate INSIDE HIS OPPONENT'S MAIN. That takes BALLS.

Player Most Likely to Win the Next Starleague
Zero - GGPlay is back on Woongjin, and is hopefully giving this guy some proper zerg training.
<Wolfpox> i remember when MVP beat that one guy, and everyone was like 'whoa' except that penguin dude.

The 'Garimto' Award for Player of the Tournament
Stork, no more monkey on his back.

The 'Mumyung' Award for Worst Player
I GUESS this has to be Rock, but there was some really uninspired play in the early stages of the OSL.

The 'Boxer' Creativity/Inspiration Award
Much, and this isn't even close in my opinion. Much had the most entertaining and creative games of this OSL by far. The fantasy build is less amazing than people think imo, but Much was straight up fun to watch.

The 'Chojja' Missing in Action Award
Jaedong wasn't even in the tournament, but July was almost a non-factor in another perfect group for him. Disappointing.

The 'Sync' One Hit Wonder Award
The fantasy build.

The 'Bifrost' Map of the Tournament Award
Plasma by far, it's a bit quirky and maybe a bit imba, but it produced some exciting/different games instead of 200/200 macrofests.

Game of the Tournament
5set of the finals, of course!

The 'WTF!' Moment of the Tournament Award
Game 3 Flash/GGPlay, unbelievable.

Player Most Likely to Win the Next Starleague
Stork!

The 'Garimto' Award for Player of the Tournament
Stork- He played well this tournament and finally won one.

The 'Mumyung' Award for Worst Player
None. I cant think of anyone

The 'Boxer' Creativity/Inspiration Award
Fantasy with his mech play , plasma build, and anti-reaver micro

The 'Chojja' Missing in Action Award
Kal lost to effort 2-0. He is much better then that
He's doing in well in MSL, but getting kicked out here so early sucked

The 'Sync' One Hit Wonder Award
I think GGPlay won't be coming back.

The 'Garimto' Award for Player of the Tournament:
Stork. Stork sucks. But he won.

The 'Mumyung' Award for Worst Player: Rock

The 'Boxer' Creativity/Inspiration Award
Fantasy. If GGplay made it to the finals, Stork probably would have gotten second. Fantasy was able to irk a win out of GGplay in a series for a legit spot in the finals.

The 'Chojja' Missing in Action Award
Flash. If we're allowed to dig into the prelims, Jaedong.

The 'Sync' One Hit Wonder Award:
Stork. Hopefully the OSL curse will make it so we don't have to see anymore of him.

The 'Bifrost' Map of the Tournament Award
Medusa

Game of the Tournament:
GGplay versus Fantasy, Game 3. Sick, sick mirco.

The 'WTF!' Moment of the Tournament Award
Stork versus Best @ Plasma. Seriously, it was in plain sight and everything.

Player Most Likely to Win the Next Starleague:
I don't know, but an SKT1 player will get second.

lol its kinda obvious whos gonna win it.

Even more surprising, I'm wondering why many people keep Backho as the worst player rather than Rock I mean, Backho lost 0-3 to Sea, Stork, and Fantasy. I wonder how much you must suck to lose to those 3 eh?

why is that such a lol? because stork won the tournament? Why not just call it, "The player who won the OSL award"

Before this osl started, if u had to chose to bet on either fantasy to come second, or stork to win, what do u think people whould have said?

And fantasy did good in all MU, stork did not face any real zergzzzz..

The 'Garimto' Award for Player of the Tournament
stork

The 'Mumyung' Award for Worst Player
Rock

The 'Boxer' Creativity/Inspiration Award
Stork (he changed his style / builds so much throughout this entire tournament. Yes he didn't do anything truly revolutionary but for someone that was held as a really boring / 1 build per map type of player. He truly shined and it made for really entertaining games / he won because of it.

The 'Chojja' Missing in Action Award
Jaedong

The 'Sync' One Hit Wonder Award
no 1. really tough / solid OSL.

The 'Bifrost' Map of the Tournament Award
Autumn Wind

Game of the Tournament
Stork vs Fantasy Game 5. How can the 1 game that decides the entire tournament not be the Game of the Tournament.

The 'WTF!' Moment of the Tournament Award
Fantasy coming back 2-0 after being down 2-0 to Stork. I thought it was completely over at that point.

Player Most Likely to Win the Next Starleague
Depends on the maps. I would go with Jaedong but he doesn't get seeding. So I will go with Stork.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Stork for the Chojja award considering he failed to meet everyone's expectations of coming second.

Midas... second and third would be thezerg and backho

All three of them are worse than Jaedong.
All of them made OSL.

This. its a voting award for a reason. For a kid who played less then 40 games prior to entering the OSL, I have to hand it to him. I think Stork was the expected winner regardless, so let people vote.

You could laugh at all the people calling Fantasy 'the one hit wonder' too but you aren't, so I'm assuming some bias.
