Regular Season Awards
MVP: Turban (Terrorist)
Turban led top-seeded terrorist to a record 23 wins -- an astounding 7 wins ahead of second place. He dominated all three leagues, finishing as the #1 javelin, #3 spider, and #7 warbird, truly living up to being the top draft pick for the second season a row.
Best Warbird: Iron Survivor (Power)
Iron Survivor decimated TWDT-D so hard, no one even came close to catching him despite missing the final two games of the season. He was an absolute powerhouse, finishing 105-72 and averaging 13.1 kills per game.
Best Javelin: Roiwerk (Silence)
Roiwerk was a monster in jav this season, going 115-92, playing all ten games, and only failing to drop 10+ kills in a game once. Insane!
Best Baser: Cripple (Mortal)
Cripple beasted TWDT-B, playing the full schedule and somehow averaging 150 kills per game while leading Mortal to a league-best 8-2 record. Next best was 136. Holy shit!

Team Awards
MVP: Turban
Best Warbird: Okyo
Best Javelin: Dreamwin
Best Baser: Mcvicar
As I said before, Turban was far and away the best player during the regular season. Okyo has been almost as good, dominating TWDT-D with a 92-68 record and adding constant pressure, not to mention strong play in javelin and spider. Dreamwin also fits this category, roasting javelins on a spittle, contributing in warbird, and bullying people in spider. Finally, we have Mcvicar, who has been a top two shark all season, but has also doubled as a dominant spider either under or over, as this team of Swiss Army Knives destroyed the league, finishing #1 by a mile.
MVP: Zizzo
Best Warbird: Weak
Best Javelin: Shaun
Best Baser: JAMAL
Zizzo has been a Top 3 Overall play the entire season, annihilating the competition in javelin, sniping fools on 4000 resolution in warbird, and being arguably the best terr the front half the of season, before shifting back to a hard pushing spider with crazy lag, continuing to pay dividends regardless of ship-type. Weak has been phenomenal in warbird with a 100-78, second only to Iron Survivor, and one of only three players to hit the century mark. He's also one of the best 7-Star javelins in the game, and has punched home a bunch of wins there as well. Shaun dropped 91 kills, giving Curse tons of production in TWDT-J and netting them a bevy of wins. JAMAL, while he has seen his role in warbird and javelin reduced this season, has shown his versatility in spades in TWDT-B. Need a superstar spider to drop 150 kills? Sure. Short on sharks and need a 10-Star guardian? He can do that, too. JAMAL is a basing juggeraut.
MVP: Iron Survivor
Best Warbird: Beam
Best Javelin: Zidane
Best Baser: Davy
Iron Survivor has been an unstoppable behemoth in TWDT-D, leading the league by a mile, whilst also providing big performances in TWDT-J, going 6-2 in the process, and has proved to be their best 6-Star spider, undering ably when called upon. After years of being completely useless, and going 2-18 as a 7-Star last season, Beam trolled me by going 81-65 and finishing as the 8th best warbird, as he and Mortal's Kovalchuk proved to be borderline broken 6-Star players in TWDT-D. To quote Arrested Development, "I've made a huge mistake." Zidane was the third best jav this season, going 98-78 whilst also carrying in shark and contributing in warbird. Last but not least, Davy has provided sorely-needed firepower in TWDT-B, as Power has fared much better with him in than with him out, as they lack a bevy of high-scoring spiders. And provide kills he has, finishing 5th in the league with 136 kills per game.
MVP: Cripple
Best Warbird: Tripin
Best Javelin: Ready
Best Baser: Pressure
Cripple, as mentioned above, has been the best baser in TWDT this season, amassing an insatiable 1196 kills to go with his 6 teks. Tripin has punched above his weight this season, leading Mortal with 71 kills in 7 games. No stranger to the format, he won TWDT-D 2014 with LaSenza and Apok, and they'll need that experience to go far in the playoffs. Ready has led the team with an 88-78 record. Is it Ready, or is it Healt cheating on a low-star account and tarnishing Mortal's title ambitions? Who knows, but at 7-Stars he's proven an asset. Pressure has had an excellent season in terr, leading the league with a 9.3 KDA and anchoring one of the best TWDT-B spider lines in history. Regardless, he's been on point, proving the difference in close matches, and a top-tier terr smoothes out stretches of poor play from ones own team and closes the door on worse teams, preventing upsets and ensuring the better team wins.
MVP: 24
Best Warbird: Geio
Best Javelin: Shadowmere
Best Baser: Porkjet
Despite being on the last-placed team, 24 once again showed his immense value in TWDT, with rapacious play in jav, finishing fourth overall with a stellar 106-95 record, whilst sharking in base and finishing fifteenth in warbird with solid play. Geio has had dominant back-to-back TWDT seasons, continuing to be excellent in warbird, finishing third in the league in TWDT-D with a 101-84 record, and chipping in in TWDT-J. While he hasn't replicated his superb TWDT-B championship run as a 6-Star spider, he's exceeded his already strong warbird play from last year. Shadowmere started out the season as the hottest commodity on the market with some of the most Herculean performances ever seen in TWDT, he cooled off rapidly and failed to regain his mojo down the stretch. Nevertheless, he was still a big contributor in javelin and warbird. Meanwhile, Porkjet salvaged a 1-9 TWDT-B season with astute play, finishing as a Top 5 shark and notching 10 Teks -- second only to Zidane, with 11. He put up decent minutes for being on a team that got outkilled by 560.
MVP: Commodo
Best Warbird: Last Standing
Best Javelin: Roiwerk
Best Baser: Trasher
Commodo led his team across all three leagues, narrowly missing the playoffs by a single win, although certainly not due to his own play, as he was dominant in javelin, stalwart in shark, and provided good low-star value in warbird. Last Standing was a late bloomer, dominating the second-half of the season with massive scores in TWDT-D, while being a plug-and-play ship in TWDT-J and TWDT-B when needed. Roiwerk, as mentioned above, was a force to reckoned with in jav, whilst Trasher followed up his TWLB win with a masterful performance in shark, rifling off 132 kills per game, and trailing only Cripple in kills.

Top 100 Players
Note: As this is the end of the regular season, this is the final Top 100 Players list that will be released, as well as the last stats produced (it would be unfair to players on teams that didn't make the playoffs, and the regular season provides a balanced playing field where everyone plays the same opponent twice -- a luxury not available past this stage.)
