"wtf" moment could go to hwasin for the other day where he defense matrixed one of Savior's Ultra's
why? : wtf??
|
At this time I can only think of one
The 'WTF!' Moment of the Year Award goes to:
Firebathero - for his ceremony when he took off his shirt and danced with a floatation ring around him 
|
-For Garimto's player of the year award I think it should be Savior. Recently he hasn't been utterly dominating like he was but I think overall on the year he has done better than Bisu and Stork even though they are the two ahead of him on Kespa. He has been the most consistant all year. I think the reason it seems like he doesn't deserve it is because he stopped dominating as hard as he was so it seems like he isn't the top player this year... but he is.
-For Chojja's missing in action award, I think it should be Goodfriend because wtf happened to him?
-The most improved should go to Bisu because it is obvious that he has gone from an 'OK' pro gamer to an elite pro gamer.

the Boxer award should go to OverSky for his proxy hatch or UpMagiC for being UpMagiC :p
|
The 'Garimto' Award for Player of the Year:
Bisu, even a Savior fanboy has to concede that
The 'Mumyung' Award for Worst Player:
so many really, but pretty much most of ACE, including Mumyung lol
The 'Boxer' Creativity/Inspiration Award:
Not too many innovations this year, mostly refinements of previous strategies, though Oversky's proxy hatch was hax
The 'Chojja' Missing in Action Award:
Chojja is certainly still MIA, as is most of the KTF lineup
The Team of the Year Award:
uh... CJ just because
The 'WTF!' Moment of the Year Award:
Mind winning the MSL
Game of the Year:
someone come up with a list and I'll pick one
The 'Sea' Best Newcomer Award:
JAEDONG, though not really a newcomer, Mind is only other new player in the PR
The 'rA' Award for Proleague Performances:
I'm sure the stat department can tell you, though I do know the worst is rA
The Most Improved:
no clue

The Goodfriend question has been answered many times (infact again like an hour ago).....search 20Nation.
Garimto - Bisu. He has just been stellar overall completely taking MSL by storm with that 3-0 and displaying his skill all over the board. You could argue Savior too but if i would still pick Bisu over him.
Mumyung - PokJu[S.G] That game vs Bisu where bisu proxy 2 gates behind Mujjuks mineral line...Mujjuk starts attackign the pylon with like 4 probes...doesn't go after the nme probe and gets raped -_-. Plus his stats are terrible.
BOxer - Oversky. Previously mentioned the proxy hatch vs Freedom.
Chojja award - Silver....MSL finals to huh?
Team of the Year - CJ Entus. THey have shown good performance all round and developed some new great players like Kwanro to take over the next generation. I refuse to vote for Lecaf or Khan...They use the same players and get their wins that way...little development of their lesser players. (sorry for carlo style ...s)
WTF Moment - Tasteless going to Korea lol. Does that count? It totally should.
Sea Award - edit: changed my mind. Mind. Been destroying in PL and individual leagues,....i hope he keeps it up.
rA award - No real pick...probably Jaedong/Mind
Most Improved - Xellos. Im not really sure if he should count or not but he has had such marked improvement recently and is really showing his perfect terran style again.
Game of the Year - i cant make an informed choice
edit: thanks Kizz

The new Sea comer should be that 12 year old kid/
The ra Proleague performances should be Sea
The Garimto award should be boxer because like Garimto, he's old but hes not done yet!

The 'Garimto' Award for Player of the Year
Bisu. As much as I hate to say it, he's been putting up good results in every single individual league.
The 'Mumyung' Award for Worst Player
I have two nominations:
1. Clon. A wonderful 5-16 record for 2007, including a 9-game losing streak. Why does Ace keep putting him in 1v1s? No one knows.
But at least Clon has the excuse of being an old-schooler, out of practice, in the military, etc. Not this next guy though...
2. Casy: 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.
The 'Boxer' Creativity/Inspiration Award
Upmagic... for being himself.
The 'Chojja' Missing in Action Award
Goodfriend...
The Team of the Year Award
Lecaf. 2nd place in proleague during the 1st round of 2007, and now in the 2nd round they've secured their spot in the finals
The 'WTF!' Moment of the Year Award
Two nominations:
1. FBH running around Savior after beating him in the RO8 in MSL.
2. Chrh beating Bisu in proleague on Monty Hall
Game of the Year
No clue, too many to choose from.
The 'Sea' Best Newcomer Award
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!)
The 'rA' Award for Proleague Performances
Anytime. He has 30 or something wins this year in proleague alone. Insane.
The Most Improved
Stork. He went from a failed prodigy to actually coming to potential, being his team's ace for proleague and getting to the finals of multiple starleagues.
|
Team of the Year:
Hanbit.
They were doing quite bad and none of their players seem to show any dominance. Now GGPlay won last OSL and has a pretty okay Proleague record. Free is also doing pretty exceptional. The team was looking to have a good chance a the finals also, but that didnt happen. I still think they should get this award.
Game of the Year:
Bisu vs. Savior Game 2 @ EVER OSL , nuff said. I have never been that into a game of SC in my life. Even yelling at the screen telling the observer to go to cover the game better.
|
Boxer had some awesome and creative wins in proleague, could boxer win his own award?

edited Sea award
Garimto Award-
+ Show Spoiler +Bisu- 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.
Mumyung Award-
+ Show Spoiler +Casy- He started the year off by getting to the OSL semi-final then just dies off after that. He losses to NaDa, 3-0 to Iris right after, and then 3-1 to a falling sAviOr. He has lost a massive amount of games and is on a 9game losing streak. Half of his wins came in the first 2 months of the year. In 2006, Casy won a Starleague because of his strong TvT and TvZ yet he can barely even make the proleague roster now.
Boxer Award-
+ Show Spoiler +Silver- I haven't seen him play much at all during this year, but when I thought of creativity, I thought of Silver on Monty Hall. He was able to dominate two Terran opponents using the same build and it helped GGplay even the score out in the OSL Final. Silver was able to effectively control the type of map he was playing on. Early game, he easily secured 3 undisturbed gas geysers by cutting off Terran's lane for harrassment. Late game he breaks out with hydra guards and dominates his opponent. A simple yet extremely effective build that deserves the boxer-esque creativity award
Chojja Award
+ Show Spoiler +Kingdom- TLPD shows you had 6 games in 2007... wtf?
Team of the Year Award
+ Show Spoiler +Lecaf OZ- Proleague round 1, they were the top team in the regular season only losing to Khan in the finals. Khan has been losing quite a bit in round 2 while Oz is the number 1 team again.
The WTF moment
+ Show Spoiler +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
Game of the Year
+ Show Spoiler +sAviOr vs Iris Shinhan 3 OSL Semi-Final Game 5 @ Arkanoid- This game is freaking insane. Iris is constantly pressuring and harrasing while sAviOr shows god-like defense.
Sea Award
+ Show Spoiler +Mind- Cuz of his impressive MSL run and eventual win. Original pick in the spoiler + Show Spoiler +Hwasin- Mind won a starleague but didn't have many games other than the ones in the MSL. I heard of Jaedong early 2006 because he won proleague r1's rookie MVP so he wasn't really unknown at the start of 2007. Hwasin caught some attention when he beat sAviOr in proleague but he wasn't really known until this year. He made a crap load of starleagues and went pretty far in a few of them. He has played almost 100 games this year and has a win percentage of about 60. He is strong in all 3 matchups and was considered to be the strongest Terran mid-late year. I still think Hwasin is the strongest Terran even though Mind has an MSL under his belt.
rA Award-
+ Show Spoiler +Stork- I can't really judge by quality of play in games because I haven't watched all the games of Sea, Stork, Free, and Anytime. I do know though that Stork won proleague mvp for round 1 so I will go with him.
The Most Improved
+ Show Spoiler +Rock- Rock showed some semi-decent play this year. Many people are probably thinking wtf, but when I think about Rock's past accomplishments, he has improved alot. This year I remember him winning the OSC. Before this year I knew him as, the guy who got completely raped by July, the guy who lost to Boxer's bunker rush, and the guy who got outmicroed by Reach. When you look at it that way, he has improved alot

The 'Garimto' Award for Player of the Year;
Bisu, just because. His individual league performance speaks for itself.
The 'Mumyung' Award for Worst Player
Someone from Ace. I'll give it to Clon.
The 'Boxer' Creativity/Inspiration Award
If Silver's Monty Hall prox-hatch build is 2007, that. If not, Upmagic I guess.
The 'Chojja' Missing in Action Award
KTF in general. Goodfriend?
The Team of the Year Award
Lecaf.
The 'WTF!' Moment of the Year Award
Most things involving FBH and Savior. Either the dance, or Savior ragequitting. I give it to the dance.
Game of the Year
Bisu vs Savior on Katrina in OSL game 2. That shit was intense.
and the new ones are....
The 'Sea' Best Newcomer Award;
Flash. Solid PL performance, probably the only person KTF can rely on right now.
The 'rA' Award for Proleague Performances
Anytime for good, rA for bad.
The Most Improved
Stork I guess.
|
The 'Garimto' Award for Player of the Year
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.
The 'Mumyung' Award for Worst Player
Clon's actually a better player than the statistics make him out to be. No, the real candidate for this award is Justin, with his 9-22 record in 2007 and current 13-game losing streak.
The 'Boxer' Creativity/Inspiration Award
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.
The 'Chojja' Missing in Action Award
How about GoodFriend? GF went from a perennial Starleague participant to missing the major leagues entirely AND getting booted from KTF. He hasn't even played a game since August.
The Team of the Year Award
I don't really care who wins this; the Proleague is boring. Khan or HERO probably deserves it. SKT1, KTF, eSTRO, Ace, FOX, Soul, and Hanbit are clearly out of the running, anyway.
The 'WTF!' Moment of the Year Award
KTF demoting GoodFriend, Chojja, and Aqua.
Game of the Year
Game 5 of the OSL final between Iris and GGPlay. Just... wow. I may be forgetting a few games, but that's the one that really sticks out in my mind.
The 'Sea' Best Newcomer Award
You can make a case for Mind, Jaedong, or Flash. Flash debuted in 2007, so he's a good candidate. Mind and Jaedong's first televised games were in early 2006. You could argue that they're not newcomers, but I wouldn't; they didn't come into their own until 2007.
The 'rA' Award for Proleague Performances
Stork or Sea.
The Most Improved
DarkElf. 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.

The 'Garimto' Award for Player of the Year;
+ Show Spoiler +When you look at the contenders (Bisu/Savior/Stork) it can only go to Bisu; Bisu won two MSLs to Saviors OSL, Storks two second places and a WCG - if stork had won himself the OSL then i think the award wouldve gone to him desptie the fanboys

The 'WTF!' Moment of the Year Award
+ Show Spoiler +ChRh defeating bisu in proleague (and then bisu losing to boxer) - while not as extravagant as bisu defeating savior, but this was ChRh's first victory in 1402 days against the new bonjwa else the new protoss god. No one in their right mind predicted this to happen - atleast rekrul, FA (amongst others) voted for bisu against savior - no one gave ChRh a chance.

+ Show Spoiler +Sea vs Reach on hitchhiker - if not, deserves comeback of the year
The 'Sea' Best Newcomer Award;
