Previous Winners
2006 - keqtqiadv (BRA)
2007 - adee-gee (SCO)

I voted adee-gee. I rarely played TT this season but I remember his perfect write-ups, something that except of devotion to the running the competition also takes talent.

i cant vote:sAD:

No doubt in my mind, it has to be Ray FiBeR! :worship: My lucky manager! :lol:

Alex for me.. :worship: Boarder35m started playing this season..i still remember his pms on managing tips, and the guy almost managed as many tourneys as i did.. and did a lot of work in the TT Dulce de leche community along with diego36arg :worship: (and others, like kai ^^).. which is priceless , at least, to me
