“Rookie of the Year 2015” nomination.

as tradition dictates, the winner against a newcomer is the newcomer of the year :D the topic can be closed.

Traditions exist to be broken =)

I would like to highlight the player - Makiavelli

In the Winter-15 newcomer tournament, he took 4th place.
In the Summer-15 newcomer tournament, I removed him from the tournament (because he played in the semi-final of the winter tournament).
In the Random Jebus tournament, he reached the final.
I also had the opportunity to play against him in the playoffs of the Mirrors tournament. I won by using a timer exploit, a couple of turns later, or perhaps even on the very next turn; my chances would have been minimal.
