Update: I'm uncertain whether I like this new version of The Gatekeeper however it is markedly better than the old one. I'm going to continue to work on it but it's a start nevertheless.
The Gatekeeper: Awarded to dedicated members of the community who have taken the time to organise successful series of tournaments for the community.
Option 1: Without spikes (I prefer this one, less busy).
I went through a lot of designs for this one basing a lot of my research off of real war medals symbolising valour. My research led me most of the time to stars or crosses depending on nationality. Unfortunately a lot of these designs resized poorly and so ultimately I decided that the simplest design is usually the best hence the five pointed star.
Medal of Valour: A player who has fought through a grueling bracket, achieving qualification for the SEASL finals.
I've heavily based this design off the MTG card telepathy.
I should also probably mention that "좋은 게임" translates to "Good game" if Google Translator is anything to go by. I could have done the simple "ㅈㅈ" but I feel the longer korean string looks much better.

I spent a lot of time on this one, suffice to say design 1 is the neatest and cleanest which is a shame because the first one I did is much more impressive at 500x500px... but alas at 50px it's not that great. I tried to remedy it by turning the units into silhouettes but I feel it wasn't the best solution either.
Let me know what you think... do you like option 2 or is it far to hard to interpret?
Option 1: 3rd design which ends up being the neatest and cleanest.
Singapore is located on the left of the globe, Australia on the bottom right, New Zealand on the top right, Malaysia on top and the southern cross in the very top left.
