Nominees for Best Team 2011:
FnaticRaidCall [Fntc] Last year's winners of this category are surely the favorites to take the award again for 2011. The stability of their roster throughout the year allowed them to consistently place on the podium in the vast majority of online events they decided to participate in. They also managed to defend their Dreamhack title twice this year and now have three consecutive trophies at the Swedish based LAN. The disappointing fourth place finish at the NASL Season 2 finals was an early sign of roster issues at the end of the year; however, it is undeniable that 2011 was another black-and-orange dominated year in HoN.

Online Kingdom [OK] Despite being infamous for managing to throw away, by all standards, already won games, Online Kingdom had its fair share of success this year, especially on the online circuit where they took the ESL Major Series VIII and HoN Super Series titles. The fall of their organization just days before Dreamhack Winter had a severe impact on their performance there, but they somehow managed to get right back on track at the NASL LAN finals and take the silver medals.

Lions eSportklubb [LION] The latecomers of 2011, Lions stunned the competitive scene with an upset win over Fnatic in their first official tournament appeareance.

Trademark eSports [tdM] If there was a "best drama team of 2011" award, Trademark eSports would be the clear favorites. Somehow amongst all the roster issues, drama filled threads, and the hate they received from the general public, they still managed to do more than well this past year, winning the Tt eSports Challenge and ESL Major Series IX online events and placing fourth and third at 2011's highlight LANs, Dreamhack Winter and the NASL Season 2 finals.

Frenetic Array [fray] Frenetic Array has been known as Australia's best team for well over a year now, but it wasn't until the last quarter of 2011 that they received any international attention. They've won all the major LAN and online events on home soil, consistently place well in international events despite their ping disadvantage, and have shown what they're made of when they flew accross the globe to take second place at Dreamhack Winter, being the only team at the tournament that managed to take games off of Fnatic.
