BL Awards Season 5

After a long long wait (sorry) here are your BL Awards for season 5:
Most Improved: 72.2% Steel (9-7 to 13-2-1 NFC Champ); Others receiving votes: 27.8% Kook (2-14 to 11-5, WC win over Ben)
It was a legitmate big improvement by Steel from season 4 to season 5. He wemt from not making playoffs to winning the NFC, which is very funny seeing as currently in season 6 he went from NFC champ to potentially missing the playoffs.
Play of the Year: 44.4% "Connor tip ball TD" https://clips.twitch.tv/PlausibleHomelyChickpeaAMPTropPunch-Zc0PIAmEmo957GRw
Im not sure how this won tbh, the only nice part was Connor getting a little sticky after the catch, but if it was me that had this happed to I wouldve been called a lucky POS and received 0 votes, smh.
Fail of the Year: 61.1% "Tank SZN" https://www.twitch.tv/betterleaguenetwork/clip/KindBashfulTapirFutureMan-jT6K-I4R7Ti8UARs?filter=clips&range=30d&sort=time
This was an obvious winner, this game resaulted in a harsh punishment from Kook and was a catalyst in the booting of Marwan. I will dive deeper into this game later in the article...
Connor Rice Man of The Year: Connor (3 votes); others receiving votes: Dan (2 votes), Justin (2 votes), BLN (2 votes)
This is also a no doubter, Connor commentated 3 playoff games in a row, among other things. He absolutely embodies the spirit of the great Connor Rice himself. (side note, Morty voted me for MOTY because of the awards and im sorry for the disapointment lol)
Bman Memorial Hang in there Bud Award: 38.9% Nick (1-15); Others receiving votes: 33.3% lil Alex
I honestly dont really get it, when I played Nick he kept it close most of the game and I feel like he keeps it close almost everytime i watch his games. He just needs to get more consistent against lower tier users and I think he could make arun up to a potential 8-8 season in the future.
Best Rivalry: 33.3% Phil vs Hero Austin; others receiving votes: 27.8% Justin vs WC round, 22.2% Lil Alex vs Austin
Honesty I think that there was voter fatigue with Lil Alex vs Austin only getting 3rd in voting. Phil and Hero had a little slack spat, but it didn't become a huge thing except in Steels eyes.
Best Division: NFC West (37-27)
This divison is the best by far, its the only division where theres 3 playoff teams most years. You have to go at least like 13-3 to win the division, which is insane for a division (especially mine)
Worst Division: AFC South (27-37)
Dont worry, I wont sit here defending this division as I have in the past. Cam is burnt out, Chap is still inconsistent, and Gamble throws to 1 guy to get him stats.
Most Overrated: Justin (3 votes); Others receiving votes: Steel (2 Votes) Alex (2 Votes) Connor (2 Votes) Cody (2 Votes)
I would defend myself, but I honestly have nothing to show to defend myself. Like I have 1 playoff win and was the 1 seed once, I will say tho, the people that voted for Steel mayyy have been correct.
Most Underrated: Gamble (3 votes); Others receiving votes: Kiing (2 Votes) Kook (2 Votes)
This is actually a bit of a surprise after people calling my division completely trash, but I can see how he was voted for. Much like what I said about Nick, Gamble can keep it close against many users and averages a good amount of points per game.
Most Disappointing: 55.6% Marwan/Kook; Others receiving votes: 22.2% Dan, 22.2% Jesse
Here we go, both players were actively trying to lose the game, Kook wanted to lose to avoid Ben, but he won this game and beat Ben to somewhat redeem himself. Marwan just straight up tanked which was one of the reasons why he ended up being booted unfortunatly.
Jerod Memorial Most Toxic Award: Cody (3 Votes); Others receiving votes: Justin (2 Votes) Ben (2 Votes) Phil (2 Votes)
This can pretty much be summed up in the clip of Cody drunkinly shit talking Lil Alex. Cody went from being the sweet christian boy to the asshole drunk, some say Cody deserved for the bouncer to break his toe (jk cody i love you, please dont hurt me)
