Team Liquid Progaming Awards 2007

During the 2007 year he was the closest to the bonjwa title. He won GomTV 1 and 2 and was the runner up in season 3. In his first MSL win, he dismantled the strongest ZvP player in the world and in his second final appearance, he beat Stork in an epic bo5 series. He revolutionized PvZ by making FE sair builds popular and shows consistent play in starleagues. During this year, all is losses were considered upsets therefore showing the reputation he has gained as best player of 2007.

There just can't be any debate on this one: Bisu was the best player of 2007. Two MSL wins, an MSL second place, and an OSL third place? In a single year? Come on.

After his 3-2 loss to Nada in the Shinhan 3 OSL, he has amassed a grand total of 5 wins and 19 losses, and is currently on a 9-game losing streak.

while you could go out naming shitty A level gamers (hello pokju?) you jsut cant ignore this former OSL champ preforming so badly this year (bar a semi-final)

Upmagic, for his unique approach and non-standard play. For a player who does not rely on standard builds, he is able to blend non standard game options and turn them into more standard builds at just the right time in games. He gets further into starleagues this year than other creative players and is one of eStro's Aces to boot. The only other player I would honestly consider this for would be Boxer, but UpMagic has shown better results.

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.

He has a total of six televised matches this year. He has not qualified for a starleague, only gotten out of preliminaries once, and is a rare appearance for SKT in Proleague. People who are suggesting players like Goodfriend, Yellow and Chojja forget that these players all had many appearances in the first round of proleague this year and it wasn't until the second part of the year that they disappeared. Kingdom has been missing in action the whole year with only a few appearances and none of them near to each other.

constantly turning out great individual league performances(4 of top 8 in gom2?) as well as solid proleague records. unlike samsung and lecaf they dont rely on 2 players to carry them through proleague, which works but doesnt make for an overall best team.
Plexa
not that they were a dominant force in PL rnd 1, but they are doing so well this season and they have a plethora of players soaking both leagues

No question it is Bisu 3-0 over sAviOr. Some protoss kid makes it to the finals of a starleague and is up against the freaking maestro of zerg. sAviOr is the freaking king of ZvP and this kid annihilates him 3-0!? Wow is all anybody could say
semioldguy
Savior was an extreme favorite, having stamped out every other protoss opposition in the past and this (at the time) nobody Bisu comes out of nowhere to snatch a Starleague title right from under Savior's nose. Everyone was surprised at the result of those finals; and if you say you aren't you are either lying or at the time you were mentally insane.

semioldguy
With nearly everything on the line, a finals appearance that would likely have been a win for either player, both Savior and Iris played at top form. Not only was this one of the most exciting games of the year, it was between two high-profile teammates, it was in a match with high stakes, the finals of a best of five match, and had the audience on their toes nearly the entire time. Nothing about this game is anything but spectacular.

non-stop TvZ action, pressure from terran, defense from zerg, scv drop

Flash, in his debut OSL he gets to the semis, and after that is able to qualify for OSL again. He is practically the only reason why KTF isn't at the bottom of the proleague rankings. (and a 61.90% win rate with no weak match-up!)
semioldguy
Flash. he qualified for four starleagues this year, and made it to the quarterfinals of his first OSL. In addition he has been a solid performer in Proleague and looks to have a lot of promise in the future. He literally had not played televised before this year and has shown that he can be a force to be reckoned with.

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.
