bye
He started his 'esport career' only about 1 year ago and since he won almost EVERY event he attended. Alot of other pk players were already big in other games (real big) and known for a longer time (like fatality, forrest). So the newcomer award is justified imo. player of the year is something to be argued(or however you spell it) over, cause it depends on which game is most important (imo it still is pk, being new with new skillcurve and stuff, so also justified)
best team : i also have to agree with 4kings intel because they perform both quite good as a team, and in 1on1 tourneys like eswc and cpl too!
btw congratz Vo0 :)
ZeT or f0rest would be better choices.
And I'm not sure I think fRoD has been the best CS player this year.

rixhack and optihack were shitty tournaments, not even international
frod and coL finished 1st at ACON qualifer as well
CPL summer 2005 was a JOKE
Same for CPL Brazil,it was a poor tournament
WEG1 : he only played the grand final with 4k
in ESWC Final, no info of PES4 (official game), no info of Quake, no info of UT. And in gotfrag, american website all scores & info ... SK only put news Interested for SK
this award should be the best ONLINE CS player of the year
on lan , storm and trip r much better than frod.
Xeqtr should have won anyway
don't agree with that.
and EA... who produces more games than EA and keeps good profit margains? #1 game producers in the world for years now.
