The 'Garimto' Award for Player of the Tournament
Stork - Strongest player all round, knocked out the world's best PvP player (arguable), 3-0'd his group which included strong players. Beat bisu in a close bo3. No brainer IMO.

The 'Mumyung' Award for Worst Player
Rock - Why won't you stop qualifying for leagues.... He knocked han out, who looked really promising as well.

The 'Boxer' Creativity/Inspiration Award
Tied Much and Fantasy. Much's innovation was awesome, he did everything and anything, and although he didn't make it out of groups, his games were amazing to watch. Fantasy's mech build vs GGplay (his execution is the unique part) and his game 4 vs Stork were brilliant.

The 'Chojja' Missing in Action Award
Tied July and Flash. July, the reigning OSL champ, can't make it out of a group with 2 Tosses. Flash 3-0's the same group of death, then has a rush of blood to lose to GGplay in the biggest WTF moment I have ever witnessed.

The 'Sync' One Hit Wonder Award
GGplay, he won't be coming back.

The 'Bifrost' Map of the Tournament Award
Plasma + Medusa, insane games in general.

Game of the Tournament
Bisu vs. Stork game 3, Stork vs. Fantasy games 4 and 5.

The 'WTF!' Moment of the Tournament Award
Flash's last minute brain explosion vs GGplay for sure. Cost him an already won series.

Player Most Likely to Win the Next Starleague
Stork or BeSt.

i don't know why you guys think a cannon rush and 1 base carrier on what is essentially an island map is inspirational or creative

i mean i love much and i think he played great during OSL but you can't compare that shit at all to the immense preparation, the mindgame, and the flawless execution of fantasy's build against ggplay. especially not using the build in game 1, and using it a second time in game 4

much's builds were entertaining and he played well, but they are nothing new, a hundred other protoss players have done both of those things. fantasy's method of beating a zerg he was completely outclassed by is much more inspirational and i'm very surprised anyone would think otherwise

and jesus didnt anyone see games 3 and 4 of the final? the savage beatdown fantasy gave the best protoss in the world?

What was inspirational and creative in game 3 i just recall Stork loseing to much reavers and missing a pylon ? Game 4 was ok .
Much's builds were fun and creative because the maps were played for the first time and he first saw a chance for innovation i don't know about inspiration . Fantasy's build did inspired a big number of people in TL and a lot of half - assed mech builds on iccup thought .

Another wtf moment would be stork winning the OSL..

It just saddens me because he didn't face any single zerg. Oh well, he still won the OSL and that's the bottom line.

if you think the magnitude of fantasy's play can be measured by how many D+ newbies copy his build on iccup, i don't know what to tell you cuz anything i say will go over your head
