Pasha, it seems you didn't understand the essence of this nomination. And despite all due respect for LeBron and Pete's skill level (they were truly like fathers:smile20:), as far as I know, they only entered the top three during this period, and before that, they didn't really play much – so formally, they are newcomers of 2008, and I don't understand how their skill level and the "disservice" are relevant here:confused:. They also made progress; Pete wrote that he was losing a lot at first, and LeBron didn't even know how to wait in battles. So, they are quite legitimate candidates...
Maybe, Kostya, maybe, but... if that's the case, this award shouldn't be called "Rookie of the Year," but rather "Player of the Year," because it just doesn't sound right. LeBron or Pete as "Rookie of the Year" definitely doesn't sound right. In my subjective opinion, it's not appropriate for players of that level to have a "newbie" avatar. I hope you understand.
Regarding what Pete wrote about him losing, I remember that time, and when I played with him, I never considered him an underdog, even at the beginning of his online career. If he did lose, it was very rare, and because of buggy respawn points.
