Best Pro Team

Nominees:

• Team Nv
• Frenetic Array
• AVANT (Xeria Gaming)
• Exile 5

+ [And the winner is] +

We've listed the achievements of the Major players in each team already, All these teams a choc full of heros of yesterday, today and tomorrow, however there can only be 1 winner. Only one team had the depth required to enter team leagues all year long, only one team had not one full time dedicated Player consistently winner tournaments but two, for that reason Frenetic Array is award Team of the year!

Winner: Frenetic Array

Best Clan

Nominees:

• Meta Game Gods
• Time of Rising

+ [And the winner is] +

when you think of the sc2sea only 2 major clans endured what was a a difficult year for Starcraft 2 in our region, these are ToR an mGG. ToR became the cool kids club full of big personalities like Spartaz, Pezz and Petrify and numerous fake members such as HuT, Stallion and Chadmann . mGG was the Gentlemen's club so what reclusive at times but always lingering in the background their members ever present behind the scene, either aiding other in the administration of tournaments or running their own, mGG were the glue that held sc2sea together in 2013.

Winner:Meta Game Gods

Most underrated player

Nominees:

• Enderr
• Lobo
• Petrify

+ [And the winner is] +

A difficult category to pick, these 3 players were seldom on the lips of those predicting tournament results, however time and time again they proved their worth with numerous strong performance. The winner however stands hand and shoulders amongst the rest as the most underrated player of 2013: Enderr- for his results in Vengeance Cup and WCG.


Winner: Enderr
Real Pet:Petrify

Rookie of the year

Nominees:

• Fighto
• NXZ
• ARze
• Stormz

+ [And the winner is] +

These 4 players have all shown at times moments of great potential a glittering hope that the heroes of 2013 and going to have a fight on their hands come late 2014 and heading into the LotV era. For this award I cannot or will not award a single winner, they are all winners of tomorrow and will no doubt prove that themselves in the years to come.

Winner: ALL OF THEM!

Best Retirement 2013

Nominees:

• Deth
• Light
• Mafia
• tgun

+ [And the winner is] +

This year saw the retirement of some of the largest personalities of the WoL era, Mafia withdrew to MTG and poker, Light much to the dismay of the community now plays LoL (and more recently poker!), tgun much like the Honey badger doesn't give a f$% and moved onto LoL. Deth's retirement however was easily the best. After withdrawing from the competitive scene he has taken up casting and if the stories are true is so what more active on ladder than he was in the months leading up to his retirement (he even placed Top 8 in ACL Sydney!). For his continual contributions to the scene, I award Deth, Best Retirement 2013


Winner:Deth
TopGun:tgun

Breakthrough performance 2013

Nominees:

• NXZ
• MegaFonzie
• Pezz
• Another

+ [And the winner is] +

+ [Nuff Said] +

And so ends the awards for 2013, lets the bruised egos and butthurts begin
