Welcome everyone to Season 4 of the TL Community Member Awesomeness Tournament!

Rules:
This is a popularity contest, so the community will be voting. All voting will be done through TL Polls, because TL is #1 and everyone freaking knows it.

NOTE: As the supervisor of this tournament my word is final. If you have a problem with that then click on the spoiler to see what your options are.

Who said life was fair?

Nomination Rules:
All participants must be nominated into the tournament. Let's get some awesome nominations going for the people who do something for the esports community and deserve to be recognized!

As this is a community event, we will be excluding pro gamers, casters, and famous esports personalities from GOM/SPOTV/IEM/DH/Blizzard, etc. etc.

As a form of seeding, some community members need less nominations in order to join the main tournament:
http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/TeamLiquid.net_Staff
Reds - 2 Nominations
Blues - 3 Nominations
All other TL Staff/Forum Stars - 4 Nominations
Trial Staff/Non Staff Contributors (People who do LR threads a lot, or translate, or do Live Reports, manage fan clubs, etc) - 5 Nominations
Forum Users (basically everyone else) - 6 Nominations

Each user can only nominate a maximum of 5 people. If you nominate more than that I won't count it/them.

This thread will serve as the Nomination Thread. Nominations will end exactly 1 week later. The first 64 to get nominated into the tournament are in. If we don't get to 64, then we will have a reduced number of participants for the first round.

How Do I Nominate?
Please follow this format!!!

##Nominating: (provide link to TL ID)
Reason: (Why should people care about this individual?)
Examples of Works: (Examples do not have to be specifically TL threads)
Extra Supporting Details: (Anything else that you feel will strengthen the individual's chances of getting in)

If you see that a user that you like has been already nominated, please post ##Second: (insert name here). You do not need to provide the necessary information if someone already posted it before you. But if that person left something out, then by all means, feel free to add in some details yourself!

##Seconds:
Everyone gets a maximum of 10 ##Seconds to use. You CANNOT vote for the same person more than once!
You do NOT need to provide a reason when you ##Second someone.

Format:
The tournament will follow GSL format but there will be three group stages instead of two. The Ro8 and onward will be knockout rounds.

Ro64 – GSL Style Groups
Ro32 – GSL Style Groups
Ro16 – GSL Style Groups
Ro8 – Single Elimination
Ro4 – Single Elimination
Finals / Third Place Match – Single Elimination

*Group Selections:
Just like GSL, I will make a Group Selections thread for ONLY the Ro16 of the tournament. The thread will show the order of how people are supposed to select a person of their choice. All other rounds will be done through randomization.

Prize Pool:
A whole bunch of meaningless yet very sexy esports dollars that you can use to buy yourself a house or a car. + Show Spoiler +

In magical esports world where there is no more pain and suffering.

Reason: The WoW wiki was his idea and he managed to get the ball rolling on it despite us not getting adequate sign-ups. I know it's weird that it's had such an impact (without knowing me well, anyway) but I cannot fully articulate what the WoW wiki has meant for my life. I'm not generally comfortable talking about feelings and stuff, but I will say that contributing to the wiki has helped me insurmountably. These days I'm doing so many things I never thought I could do, and definitely wouldn't be doing if Dmachine hadn't had the idea to get the wiki started. Other than being the one who rallied the troops, he has been a huge supporter of the WoW wiki on social media, posting links on reddit and twitter frequently. His support has really helped the wiki move forward and I'm so grateful for all of that. I guess this is more of a personal one, but that's not against the rules!

Awesome to see the 4th edition of this prestigious competition take place.
Here are my nominations:

##Nominating: Topin
Reason: LATAM SC2 biggest fan, writer, and someone who spends a lot of time here if the over 7 thousands post are accurate.

##Nominating: TempIrius
Reason: The reason why we have a League of Legends alpha wiki, and still the person that I think put the most work on it.

##Nominating: Razarza
Reason: One of the site's more silent heroes. While he has barely any post on the forums, he does a shit tons of edits.

##Nominating: lichter
Reason: I lost to lichter in the previous season of TLCMAT. I want revenge.

##Nominating: Seeker
Reason: One of the most helpful and versatile people on the site, from liquipedia to translations, to podcast co-host to helping me with lickypiddy when we played last season. He also organizes this contest, and this nomination is in no way me trying to get to his good side and get easier groups.

Here are some of my seconds:

##Second: salle
Reason: boss of liquipedia. If something goes wrong with this contest we can always #blamesalle

##Second: FO-nTTaX

##Second: SNSeigifried

##Seconds: Bisudagger
Reason: Carrying the BW community on his back with all the casts and effort he puts in to connect the Korean and TL scenes.
Examples of Works: TL Fight Club, various other casts for ASL and FATvAJAE
Extra Supporting Details: He's helped up and coming BW staffers like myself and EsportsJohn really make a name for themselves and has bestowed upon us many opportunities.

##Nominating: EsportsJohn
Reason: While a newer member to the BW staff, John has been excellent in fitting in and giving his all in making articles and casts. His work ethic shows in his casting and he has rapidly improved from his first duo with me in ASL3 after Bisudagger left to becoming almost a seasoned caster.
Examples of Works: ASL3 Cast, Ginyu Winner's League casts, various articles he's written
Extra Supporting Details: Few are cut from the "same fabric" of try harders. John is one of them.

I wrote a lot because I am tired.

##Second: FO-nTTaX
Reason: FO-nTTaX is friendly and helpful. He is always willing to explain code things to people who have no idea what they're doing (e.g. me). His assistance has brought me out of many wiki-related states of distress, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Supporting anecdote: I was struggling to turn a 32 DE Bracket into 64 DE Bracket. I spent two days trying to figure out how to solve a specific issue. I asked him about it and it took him about three minutes to figure it out and fix it. That was pretty impressive.
Examples of Works: Liquipedia in general

##Second: salle
Reason: Despite seemingly being the proverbial punching bag of the wiki (#blamesalle), he is always friendly and willing to help. He is constantly looking for ways to help Liquipedia become even better, and has been encouraging of those with (perhaps naive) enthusiasm towards things like a Liquipedia podcast or a Liquipedia merch shop. He is also very respectful of other people. Not only that, but he provides the best stats, and everyone loves stats!
Examples of Works: Liquipedia

##Second: razarza
Reason: Well firstly, #straya. Secondly, he always seems to be prompt in directing traffic on the discord and is proactive in assisting people with their enquiries. He also advocated for me getting to make a decision about the WoW wiki one time, which I appreciated.
Examples of Works: Discord

##Second: TempIrius
Reason: There's a reason I check the LoL wiki when I need to motivate myself. The LoL wiki started at the same time that the WoW wiki did and although it does have more contributors, TempIrius seems to be the main one responsible for boosting its progress ahead of the WoW wiki. He does a truly impressive amount of work.
Examples of Works: LoL wiki (and others)

##Nominating: Dmachine
Reason: The WoW wiki was his idea and he managed to get the ball rolling on it despite us not getting adequate sign-ups. I know it's weird that it's had such an impact (without knowing me well, anyway) but I cannot fully articulate what the WoW wiki has meant for my life. I'm not generally comfortable talking about feelings and stuff, but I will say that contributing to the wiki has helped me insurmountably. These days I'm doing so many things I never thought I could do, and definitely wouldn't be doing if Dmachine hadn't had the idea to get the wiki started. Other than being the one who rallied the troops, he has been a huge supporter of the WoW wiki on social media, posting links on reddit and twitter frequently. His support has really helped the wiki move forward and I'm so grateful for all of that. I guess this is more of a personal one, but that's not against the rules!
Examples of Works: The WoW wiki's existence

##Nominating: Muriloricci
Reason: He has worked on pages on the WoW wiki despite not playing the game, which is very kind. I think it's very much in the spirit of Liquipedia.
Examples of Works: Any Copa América pages on the WoW wiki

##Nominating: bleghfarec
Reason: Top memer. Memes are a crucial part of esports. Is overall good value in the Discord.
Examples of Works: :liquithink:

##Nominating: spazer
Reason: Spazer is always eager to help, and people like this make editing the wiki seem less daunting to new people. He often helps people with template issues and general questions. I always appreciate that help, because I am still completely lost most of the time.
Examples of Works: Discord

Struggling to decide on a last one, but I'll probably come back and add one later.
