With the All-Pro team of the LEC decided, there were still two prizes to be distributed: The best rookie and Rookie of the season, Selfmade and Guilhoto were the protagonists of this last round of prizes. Since both of them have performed exceptionally this season to be victorious in their respective ranks.
Selfmade All the way
Oskar ‘ Selfmade ‘ Boderek debuted as a pro at ThunderX3 Baskonia and then competed for a year with MAD Lions EC. The jungler stayed at the Madrid club where he rose to ranks to be the best, winning four titles in the same season: two Orange Superliga, one Iberian Cup and a European Masters. His ability has allowed him to stand out from the rest of the rookies, being the player with the most MVP awards of the entire LEC. His ex-partner in MAD Lions EC, Nemesis (Fnatic), was the second most voted player, while Humanoid (Splyce), also a former star of the lions, was third.

A deserved title for Selfmade that was one of the cornerstones of his team. Proactive and creative, the player was able to surprise and carry his team. He gained momentum throughout the Split and allowed his team to snatch the last qualifying spot for the Playoffs by defeating the Schalke 04. Even though the team is now out of Playoffs after losing to Splyce last week, we cannot wait to see the player again at Summer Split!
Guilhoto second to none
The other great protagonist of the day was André Guilhoto. Another well-known face of the competitive landscape of League of Legends. The Portuguese coach is quite popular in the Spanish community, participating in gatherings and being very active in social networks with other analysts and enthusiasts of the scene. He had an exceptional season in Origin. Securing the second spot in the regular phase with a completely new team, this remarkable achievement of the side has earned him the victory over Duke (Splyce) and YamatoCannon (Team Vitality).
Second time Coach of the split!! 😊 Thank you for everyone that voted for me! This award comes from a team effort. All the players, staff and Origen did everything so we would improve every week. Now is time to show it all against G2 Saturday. #OGWIN https://t.co/wtIbQAmH1D

Guilhoto is the well deserving winner of this title. He had over 2x the votes compared to Duke, who finished at 2nd place. Guilhoto had 90 votes respectively compared to the 47 votes of Duke. His side was even able to win against G2 eSports. So this proves they are well prepared for the playoff encounter. Origin and Guilhoto will now be aiming for the title.
Academy Teams to the European Masters
Rogue Esports Club, Fatic Rising, Misfits Premier, SK Gaming Prime and of course Splyce Vipers, will fight for Supremacy in the ESL Masters after ending the season on a high note.
In the case of Rogue, with an almost impeccable 13-1 in regular phase, they completely dominated Agresivoo and Cinkrof in the playoffs. On the other hand, Fnatic Rising was also proclaimed champion of the LVP UK, managing to prevail in the final to Diaboulus, who finished at first spot in regular phase. In the cases of SK Gaming Prime and Misfits Premier, despite remaining at the gates of the crown, their respective performance was also worth to get the ticket for the European Masters.
