Dropped out of the sky like goddamned Superman, apparently a good Quake player, jumped into the IDL, and performed rather well. Vast majority of players haven&#039;t even heard of him beforehand, but they sure saw what he could do fairly quickly. His performance speaks for itself. He&#039;s not the best runner of the season by any means, but his different playstyle throws defenders off time and again, and as he played through the season he slowly progressed in his level of skill. Hopefully he&#039;ll keep playing. Someone to keep an eye on for future seasons.<br /><br />[hr]<br /><br />[img]http://www.inverteddungeon.com/thecvattic/My%20Documents/My%20Pictures/hammer-stance.gif[/img] Captain of the Season: [b]Jenova[/b]<br />Proven he&#039;s a good captain by following up on what some people thought was a fluke. He picked a team many people didn&#039;t expect to go very far, and he&#039;s in hot contention for the top seeded team in IDL9. Although the season is not over as of yet, that is irrelevant as BSK has proven that yet again with Jenova at the helm, they are a formidable fighting force. Could Jenova be the next superpower captain?<br /><br />[hr]<br /><br />[img]http://www.inverteddungeon.com/thecvattic/My%20Documents/My%20Pictures/j-stance.gif[/img] Comeback Player of the Season: [b]KillingBlair[/b]<br />I really don&#039;t see another choice. How powerful has Blair become in comparison to his former seasons? I can use a priv CTF comparison here. Before Blair was usually avoided because of his performances. Now, he goes real fast. This says something, because SXP has been doing real good with Blair as of late. That&#039;s a commendable turnaround. I almost picked RottKing but really it was just a matter of time before Rott landed on a team that wasn&#039;t falling to pieces. Rott has always played pretty well, but as IDL is a team league, and this is an individual&#039;s category, I think Blair has had incredible improvement this season as a player.<br /><br />[hr]<br /><br />[img]http://www.inverteddungeon.com/thecvattic/My%20Documents/My%20Pictures/yoko-stance.gif[/img] Underrated Player of the Season: [b]Legion[/b]<br />I know, shocking! But here&#039;s why: Despite FLS&#039; poor record, Legion hasn&#039;t given up as a captain, nor as a player. In fact, in stark contrast, he&#039;s improved in both categories as the seasons has gone on. I think the guy should get a little more credit. Hopefully next season he&#039;ll use what he&#039;s learned from captaining this season and construct a better team, and continue to improve as a player.<br /><br />[hr]<br /><br />[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/1GwbT.png[/img] Most Valuable Player of the Season: [b]LordBritish[/b]<br />I might have put Jenova here, but I already gave him Captain of the Season, that and I don&#039;t think just a solid runner constitutes a stand-out player. However, LordBritish is another runner that has recently proven his worth in other areas of the game. He can also play a surprisingly solid defense when need be. I haven&#039;t noticed another player this season that can succeed in really any area of the map they&#039;re playing. And really it&#039;s not about the frags or flags, it&#039;s also about team cohesion, and LordBritish has shown this week after week in various positions. The ability to adapt to any layout and circumstance and simultaneously pull it off with a great degree of success is enough in my book to warrant MVP. That kind of player is pretty hard to find. It&#039;s kind of surprising to me because I didn&#039;t think LB was really all that great. Probably a hacker.
