[size=2][b]Rookie of the Season:[/b][/size][/b][/b]<br /><br />Higgs is a terrible pick. While I&#039;m thrilled he&#039;s playing in the idl, he&#039;s not there yet. For that reason AND the fact that there are IDL starter quality rookies this season I have to throw the title to either Rust or Mass. I know Rust isn&#039;t a real rookie, he&#039;s been playing longer than me I hear. Mass on the other hand has improved every game and did all but shut down the best team in his conference and flag leader last week. I think Rust is better than Mass, but I think Mass is more of a rookie I guess. Either would be a fine pick.<br /><br />[i]MassVC for RoS[/i]<br /><br />[size=2][b]Captain of the year:[/b][/size]<br /><br />Ralph can&#039;t get&nbsp; captain of the year. He has probably the best team and a ridiculously easy division on top of that. He actually slacked this season, if you can believe that. I like Stallion for this award because in my experience drafting is a big part of captaining and he fucking rocked that. Hatred seems to be the front runner this award but my brain says he botched his draft, made the best of it and is a tie break away from missing playoffs. Stall is still contending for #1 seed so I pick Stallion<br /><br />[i]ItalianStallion for CotS[/i]<br /><br />[size=2][b]Comeback player of the year:[/b][/size]<br /><br />...if this is even a real category. Rott certainly didn&#039;t come back from anything. He got fucked last season by a really bad trade and was the favorite to win his conference before that. Blood is a great pick for this; sitting out of the IDL for 5 seasons (?) and coming back to #4 overall. Neither get my vote though. I think this award goes to Hatred for actually coming back when he told Goatface he couldn&#039;t last season.<br /><br />[i]Hatred for CbPoS[/i]<br /><br />[size=2][b]Most underrated player:[/b][/size]<br /><br />There are so many. Turska slipped far in the draft and is ridiculously good, Josh too. Clim has all the credentials for this one and some rookies in Mass and Prime stand out for being left-fielders no one really saw coming. From those picks I can really just call this the 3rd round award (4ths). Out of those guys I would say that Mass or Prime have to get the award. Clim is a known quantity (played in and won a Masterbowl) and his attendance was the reason his slipped so far. Josh isn&#039;t really underrated so much, he&#039;s just a lock to ditch at least 1 of your important games during the season or just chaingun for 20 minutes straight. Mass and Prime have not only been consistent they have been essential to their team&#039;s success AND they&#039;re both fighting for playoff contention right now, [b]against eachother![/b]. I will give Mass the edge because I see his team making it this season, but really which ever player&#039;s team makes playoffs should get this award.<br /><br />[i]MassVC for MUP barring SXP meltdown[/i]<br /><br />[size=2][b]Most Valuable player:[/b][/size]<br /><br />This is a hard award. When I watch sports I always want the MOST VALUABLE player, not the best player to win this award. I generally look at struggling teams or team that were supposed to struggle but haven&#039;t. Using that formula White pretty much always wins the award every year. He&#039;s picked high by bad captains then he rages his way to playoffs and loses. However this season I think it&#039;s probably mikehail who means the most to his team. He does play every position, often at the same time, with a gimp ping and at the highest level. His team, until last week, even had a shot at #1 seed. All of this when they were slated to have a less than stellar season. Rookie captain (under-skilled), no-show Canadian, DOSU....Miek wins this running away.<br /><br />[i]Mikehail for MVP[/i]
