All-Conference Awards

Rocket League

Most Outstanding Player/First Team
Mark "Reversal" Alban, Molloy (Jr.)

Coach's Notes: Mark "Reversal" Alban is a Supersonic Legend ranked Rocket League player and the highest-ranked player on the Molloy Lions roster. Since joining the team earlier this year he has had an immediate impact and the team has been to the semifinals and finals in the last two seasons. Not only does he bring skill and finesse to the field, but he brings a positive attitude and helpful advice for the other players on the team.

Second Team
Matthew "OTTO" Mucio-Schrimpe, Farmingdale St. (Sr.)


Super Smash Bros: Ultimate

Most Outstanding Player/First Team 
Nicholas Shalaba, St. Thomas Aquinas (So.)

Coach's Notes: Nicholas has been a big plus for the Smash team at STAC, now earning STAC's first ECC Esports title in program history. While he feels that there's a lot he can improve on he is committed to getting better in preparation for the next season. We are excited about his future here. 

Second Team
Sebastian Estevez, New York Tech (So.)


Valorant

Most Outstanding Player
Christian "Juicy" Dumadag, Staten Island (Sr.)

Coach's Notes: Christian Dumadag (Juicy) once again led CSI to an undefeated regular season in the ECC. Christian led the team with a 1.87 k/d ratio and an average combat score of over 300 racking up over 230 kills on the season for an average of about 20 kills per game. His leadership is unmatched and his versatility brings a dynamic to the team that allows others to rotate outside their comfort zone to become better all-around players. He also led the team with 45 first bloods. He also won Fragger and Fighter of the Week in Week 1, Efficient Player of the Week in Week 2 and Efficient Player and Fighter of the Week in Week 5.

Second Team (Tie)
Chris "Cough#beep" Labella (Sr.)
Patric "PA Synergy" Gubel, New York Tech (Fr.)


Overwatch

Most Outstanding DPS/First Team
Mohammed "xlcerair" Alam, New York Tech (Jr.)

Coach's Notes: When Xicerair is on the map his presence can quickly be felt especially when he is on his signature Hanzo. Even though he isn't the in-game leader on the Cybears, Mohammed adapts quickly on the fly to whatever the call is on the field. And when there aren't calls he is self-sufficient enough to make a play that works well with the composition provided. He can usually be seen working with his Tank Line to deliver devastating combos to the enemy team. Not only that but he is also flexible and was able to snag Defender of the Week.

Second Team DPS
Will "Willman" Keller, Molloy (Sr.)

Most Outstanding Tank/First Team
Kevin "BearingMetro" Hart, Molloy (Jr.)

Coach's Notes: Kevin "BearingMetro" Hart has improved immensely this season, and makes a great case for being the best Main Tank in the league. His Reinhardt is absolutely elite, and he's won Tank of the Week twice, and his Competitive Rank has reached a career-high at 3300 this season. His Winston, Orisa, Sigma, and even Roadhog are all fantastic in their own right, and his coordination with Matthew "KillerBluBrd" Nori's Zarya and Jared "Combatfrog" Chan's Lucio make for a formidable tankline that can go toe to toe with any team in the league. Any opponent would be unwise to take BearingMetro lightly.

Second Team Tank
Jahann "RoaringIron" Jain, New York Tech (Sr.)

Most Outstanding Support/First Team
Gavin "BSOE" Duggan, Southern New Hampshire (So.)

Coach's Notes: The newest addition to the team, BSOE, is not only a strong player with the highest overall SR on the team, but a mentor teaching and guiding other players when they feel issues with their gameplay that they want to fix.

Second Team Support
Justine "Luna Rose" Ferrer, Farmingdale St. (Jr.)

Most Outstanding Player 
Lionel "LionelEP" Epstein, New York Tech (Sr.)

Coach's Notes: Most Outstanding Player for the New York Tech Team goes to LIONELEP who is the in-game leader and team captain for the Overwatch team. He is the most flexible player on the team moving from DPS to Tank to Support. In Week 4 he got attacker of the week as DPS and Tank. He Flexes all the roles to play whatever is required of his team, and not only that but he plays them all at equal skill and consistency. He fills holes on the team when necessary and keeps the team's spirits up even through dire situations.
