Well, another season has passed and what better way to wrap it up than with award articles. The writing in this article comes to you courtesy of London Calling, enjoy the read and see you next season.



Tiger's team may have not done all that well in the post-season, but he was certainly a powerhouse in every game he played. Averaging almost 400 DPM over the regular and post-season, it's safe to say Tiger was the driving force behind GET WRECKED just from his sheer damage output. His individual performance was second to none in the division, showcasing an aggressive heal-heavy play style that allowed him to have great pushes and game changing plays. Alas, the days of the pocket with all the heals is all but over these days, and the very thing that made Tiger so great might also attribute to some of the shortcomings of his team by the end of the season. Be that as it may, Tiger had a phenomenal season on pocket, and hopefully we'll see him back next season.

Runners up: LiterallyaPanda, Delpo, Wrech



There were a lot of talented demomen in Open this season, and a lot of players could have arguably taken this award, but one would be hard pressed to find a demo with more presence than pot. Throughout the season, I almost always referred to Rastlemania as

the real medic write-up:
Screws: Screwah was the reason Dango Daikazoku was able to beat Rastlemania in the post-season, and thats a hard fact to ignore. Between his survivability and attention to positioning, he really surprised me with how smart his medic play was around the middle of the season. The combo on Dango made good on opportunities created by Sneaky, where it seemed like Screws was always in the right place at the right time to take advantage of plays. He was a huge part of their success this season, as he demonstrated knowledge of the game that was above the average medic in Open. Hopefully these guys stay together next season, as their dynamic is not a common one and is pretty interesting to watch.

Congrats to DC making honorable mentions in his first season of 6s. Probably the coolest person I've met in open. I think we can also confirm that highlander players are better than 6s players.

london_callingHopefully these guys stay together next season, as their dynamic is not a common one and is pretty interesting to watch.

Testify and I (aka the 2 that didn't make any of these lists) are the only ones leaving. The other 4 are staying.

Best of luck to everyone moving up to IM and Main.

I can send this thread to Tery, I'd like to see that.

I mean if you're gonna go off stats I had better dmg/min, frags/min, and K/D in the regular season and post-season...
Aside from stats you could argue for days so I'm not gonna open that can of worms.
