I would only vote for movie of the year and it would be Enter the hunter by requem
well done sir
I don't think outlaw tony or me should to be in. For example, outlaw is making ppl cry since 2008 it's not like he was low+ in 2014. Same example for myself, I think I'm 5% better than last year which is not big deal.
Compare previous examples with kapot and sebhes, it's nothing...
Sebhes got twice better in one year through 700+ matches or something.
kapot can handle med+ from time to time when he was low+ last year. These guys represent a real improvement and belong in that list, not like oultaw/tony or me.
Ohurcool could also be in the list, joining 'xD made him play a lot more than before against top teams, forced him to be serious and to play against better people than him. In the end, I remember winning intense matches with him when we were totally fucked on the paper compared to other line ups.
What about Snatix? Anybody specced him at lan? I dare anyone here to duel him at lan IG or in the toilets :D.
I'm not here to talk about my midget friends so that they can have an award, I'm being totally objective tbh.
Shaman? He went from 'xD to TEAM UK in one year. Able to aim against top players that people considered like gods for years. Skilldrop at lan? Who cares, not everybody could do what he did online.
And I didn't even start thinking about people who deserve to be in that list.
TL;DR:
If you have to give awards atleast vote for people who truely deserve it.
It's like nominating one of iOwnage vs hodor offis in the best matches of 2015 xD.
I saw a few surprises for me as well - no gizmo @ medic or blade @ aimer was an eyebrow raiser ;) but it's down to the majority on the submission.
with regards to most improved I think it's a mixed bag. outlaw may have been good in the past but it never really led to anything. 2015 was a bit more fruitful ;)
I also think that some may have thr category as a sort of acceptance, because most on the list were not rated before but are now (due to whatever reason - lanproven being quite high on the list I guess^^)
You can hardly pick up anyone for Most Improved as the general level of ET could be said is around the med skill(few low+ that are >5 and igla) and only possible improvement is if someone makes the jumo to like become one of the best which is BS.
Also the same as the Engli nominees, how the hell is insa, hybra there (arguably chry) and ViKO isn't?
With regards to naming the category - I wasn't involved with CCA but I don't see a problem with it. If it was called "The most underrated player of the year" you and others would probably whine that tony is in it while being in player of the year too ;)
With regards to nominees - like I said - the choices were picked by the majority who submitted their nominee lists. No admin or anyone had a direct hand to influence it other than submitting their own list. I think there are quite a few surprise picks comparing my nominee picks ;) guess it's the same with you compared to the list you submitted - doubtful anyone picked all the nominees.
Also most people only have a 4-5 cup, 3-4month memory and won't really remember the entire year. I think next year a year recap post will be good to help people and maybe also a category submission/description list.
Also no idea why you mention short memory if there was enough people who voted for hybratek, ha
I didn't mean to change the whole list, just wanted to show people who really improved his year. But like ohurcool said, let's not be serious too much and let the people vote.
what about rong m8?
Team of the Year 2015 - 'xD TrickJump, (too many unexpected wins)
Match of the Year 2015 - ET United LAN 6on6 Grand Final: rushit eSports vs Playing Ducks
Most Improved Player of 2015 - toNy
Aimer of the Year 2015 - kReSti
Medic of the Year 2015 - sqzz ( no idea about this tbh)
Rifle of the Year 2015 - toNy
Engi of the Year 2015 - chry
Movie of the Year 2015 - Ultraviolet - Volume II: Medius by -Max-
Journal of the Year 2015 - juicy busted by ipod
Content of the Year 2015 - How to Play ET in 2015 by ohurcool
Community Member of the Year 2015 - MerlinatoR
the obvious answer here is Snatix
Also think Azur/Buzzer deserve a mention for the medic award, their revive play was incredible on the last lan.
I didn't do this job for recognition but I appreciate your kind words buddy!

there u go
toni: has been good even back to days with phan but only started turning heads since 2013, and definitely wasn't close to the nr1 rifle spot until 2014/2015. so much salt about these nominations :D what's totally disrespectful is I can see most of the people commenting didn't actually submit any nominations last week.
/rant
i have to admit that i dont know that much about outlaw and yokoo, allthough i do remember playing vs yokoo in this game : http://www.gamestv.org/event/44551-erase-et-runo-3-vs-keyboard-warriors/ , which made me assume he's been doing well for years.
I don't really agree with what ur saying about toni tho.
No, ever since he joined us in 2009 he has been our best player.
Believe me, as someone who has been playing with him every week for 6 years, he's always been a very good player. When he joined erase the rest of the team was low+ max, which resulted into not facing strong teams, and him not being able to shine as much as he could. Few years later the rest of erase improved drastically, which resulted into toni getting much better support, and thus a better performance. So people started noticing.
Was just checking the teams and players that participated in that EC of 2013, and im really having trouble finding a better active rifle than toni that season.
TL;DR:
toni been beasting for years now
think everybody knows he has been good since there has been also so much cheating accusation, not only because of the lan dodge in the past
I wasn't talking exclusively about erase.
I said that. he was very good even back to 2007.
I can understand your view of him because you two played together, but even while your team were the most active in the entire of 2013 that doesn't mean at the time toni was better than even the semi active rifles :P there were a mixture but those who played for sick6, phase/queens and so on were better plus koop, wiaderko /!\, and even hirvi was carrying finland/turbot through the harder opponents. he had too much to compete with back then (+ what you said about you guys not being at his level yet) whereas now he's #1/#2.
tl;dr toni has been beasting for years but wasn't one of the best players/rifles til recent 2 years _in my opinion_
Agree.
probably because he only played actively for a couple of months at the beginning of 2015 and as merlinator said above, most people only remember the last months of the year. but i have to agree with you, he should be in there due to the fact that he increased our skill by one level and also performed really well offline and online.
who the fuk c/p and send msg to a bot in 2016? certainly not me LOL
ayy
edit: and domi???

on a side note; how's ET doing? Who is "in charge" of ET now? Sebhes? Is there any major competition going on? like EuroCup or NationsCup? I've just logged into GamesTV and there is 0 upcoming games :o
2. I guess Foreigner and Sebhes are currently the only one organizing cups and events
3. Only competitions going on like said is the xD Cup and CG ET American League
4. There is no EC or NC going on
5. There are no games on GTV because the Playoffs for xD Cup is about to start
However there is one nomination in there that made me lol pretty hard
Switzerland 7ele
Germany FLoPJEHZ
Belgium Jere
United Kingdom koop
Finland toNy
Someone in this list you mean
