Every season, the EKA Medal is awarded to the rookie player whom the Committee representatives vote to be the best performed poster amongst that seasons class. The EKA is named after former administrator from seasons 2-4 EaglesKickAss, and has been awarded since Season 8. Some of the best Qootiers of all time have won this award, including The Half Back, pantskyle, brahj, Wosh and Elton Johns Wig, all of whom went on to bigger and better things.
We had a vibrant and active rookie class this season. A total of 24 rookies were nominated for this seasons EKA; ImissFrosty, HirdsTheWord, Ticky009, hotchilli, thewizardmelon, Soggy2112, CursingFijian, Electronic_Renaissance, darthmann, @enigmal v3, mike ross, damicky, the tick, Brenton Davy, Dory_77, Dancing Potato, krakouers85, Pickitt, Lore, Bluelegs, DJ75, Snuffaluphagus, Cats_R_Cool_4_Ever & RPCB
However, only one be the winner of the prestigious EKA (Well, not entirely, but we have never had a tied EKA). Each captain sent their 3-2-1 votes for best performing rookie privately via PM to decide the top performing rookie:
In 3rd place, on a total of 10 votes is East Side Phoenix youngster thewizardmelon. This snappy rookie was a favourite among punters early and impressed with his witty banter in match threads and not being shy to give posters a decent wack.
The runner up, scoring a total of 17 votes is Gold City Royals rookie krakouers85. Krakouers showed a high level of engagement in the league throughout the season and show great initiative in getting opposition involved in match threads. He has also dabbled in media playing a major part in his skippers Superleague and his parody of Damien Barretts "sliding doors".
and without further ado, the winner of the Season 32 EKA Medal, with a total of 23 votes is Mount Buller Demons rookie damicky. It's been an interesting season for this rising star. Damicky made his debut for the Fighting Furies and was traded to the Demons in exchange for fellow rookie ImissFrosty during the mid season trade period. D showed keen interest in getting the league and the people in it from day one. He made himself known around the league through his "cheese" persona in match threads and gaining the attention of league captains through his interview series, one that got better in each edition he posted.
Congratulations on the S32 EKA medal, damicky!
