AWARDS
As announced at the beginning of the season, awards will be given to players who fulfill special criteria set out by the Clan Art staff.
Top 3-Rated Players
This one is a no-brainer! As everyone who can read can no doubt see, the winners of this award are Art.DukE_s, Art.OneOther and Art.KarMa!
![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/images/common/gold.png)
Art.DukE_s, our overall champion and valiant representative of the Zerg Swarm, sports an impressive record of 80W-10L, that's an 89% win rate, which was good enough to land him a rating of 873 and the highest rank out of the entire ladder, clocking in at .![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/images/common/silver.png)
Art.OneOther, a fearsome defender of all that is Protoss, brought home a 780 rating and an overall ranking, but he was only getting started. With a JAW-DROPPING record of 50W-1L, leaving him with a win percentage higher than Jaedong's APM, and with his domination of the Clan Art Seed Creation Tournament, Art.OneOther takes second place for this season of CAL!![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/images/common/bronze.png)
Art.KarMa, also known as Art.Hermes, or that-Protoss-who-raped-my-wife-and-pillaged-my-village to his enemies, took down third place with a record of 45W-19L, netting him a win rate of 70% and a shiny bronze medal that the Clan Art administration swears is in the mail.
Most Active
Which player had nothing better to do than spam the Clan Art Hamachi channels all day for games? Who had to replace their "1","2","3","4","5" and "a" keys due to overuse? NONE OTHER THAN:
- Art.DukE_s, with a whopping 90 games played! Considering the announcement of TSL midway through our ladder, this is quite the respectable number!
- Art.Elite00 was the runner-up, with 80 games played! His keyboard, however, remains in pristine condition except for the "alt" and "q", both of which seem well-worn and decrepit. + Show Spoiler +Just playing man :p
- A total of 524 rated games were played by Clan Art Ladder competitors during the Beta Season, with many more unconfirmed or unrated. In addition, friends were made, egos were crushed, DukE_s and OneOther's egos were massively inflated, and I actually won a ZvP!
Best Profile
Each Clan Art Ladder participant was encouraged to create a profile thread in the Clan Art Ladder forum, in which they would report their wins, losses, and pretty much anything else they felt like at the time. Some profiles were rife with flaming and insults, others contained the salt tears of players repeatedly abused by the most vicious of cheeses; there was, however, one profile that stood above the rest.
Congratulations go to:
- Art.StyLe, whos entire profile I have taken the liberty of
plaigarizingcopying and pasting into the following spoiler.
+ Show Spoiler [Sexiness Incarnate] +Race:
Zerg for life! However, I'm a sinner, I play my offraces far too often. My tvz needs practice, badly. Pm me if you're up for some sparring against it.
Availability;
I'm on during CET afternoons and evenings. Yeapp, that's TL.net night time.
Akas:
ZerG~LegenD, SieGe, iLLusioN.ReW. I actually had a guy called Artstyle in my clan once. It's a cool nick, but he was very bm. I'm not to be confused with him!
ZERG!!!!!![[image loading]](http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/373/zergod0.jpg)
Convert to the Zergoholic faith today! We observe 13 holidays during the year, all which must be celebrated by iCCup mass gaming. These are the holidays we observe:
2nd October – New Year’s Day – In honor of the opening of the first Starcraft progamer tournament ever, won by Freemura, founding father of the zerg.
7th October – Ogogo’s Day – In honor of St. Ogogo’s birth.
31st October – Storm’s Day –In honor of St. YellOw’s birth.
23rd November – sAviOrmAs Day – In honor of our sAviOr’s birth.
5th December – The GG Day – In honor of St. GGPlay’s birth.
13th December – Dwarf's Day – In honor of St. ChoJJa’s birth.
18th December – Tushin’s Day – In honor of St. July’s birth.
24th December – Magician’s Day – In honor of St. GoRush’s birth.
9th January – Legend Slayer’s Day – In honor of St. Jaedong’s birth.
8th February – Side’s Day – In honor of St. Side’s birth.
15th May – JinNam’s Day – In honor of St. JinNam’s birth.
14th June – SoO’s Day – In honor of St. SoO’s birth.
6th August – UZOO’s Day – In honor of our sAviOr's first StarLeague title.
In conclusion, if you want to be a zerg champion you better be born during the cold half of the year. Luckily, I share GoRush's birthday.

This concludes the wrap-up of the Clan Art Ladder Beta Season! I'd like to extend a few thanks to certain people who have made this possible. Thanks to:
- Art.Cascade, who pretty much brought Clan Art from nothing to the greatest Brood War force this side of Korea. I would also like to apologize for all of the fan mail, and promise that I'll keep the nude pictures of myself to only once per week. He even took over from updating when I became a slacker and
developed a heroin addictionstopped updating the statistics. Thanks! - Art.Walrus, Art.Insight, and Art.DrAgOn for their dedication to administrating Clan Art, keeping the fresh ideas coming, and making the gigantic mistake of making me a moderator in the Clan Art forums. Thanks guys!
- Extreme thanks go out to Art.Tetra, for giving birth to the Clan Art Ladder, updating tirelessly for months, setting all of the rules and regulations, conceiving the rating system, having supermodel good looks, and for the black eye I got when your girlfriend caught me hiding under your bed. Thanks a million!
- The members of Clan Art, for bringing fun back to gaming, while showing me how bad I really am at this &$#!@!* game at the same time. One day we'll crush ToT, but at the moment let's keep gaming and keep improving! Clan Art fighting~
