For quite some time now, the competitive first person shooter community have been without a new refreshing title to replace the previous successful ones, but this era might have come to an end with the release of Brink. As the game is developed by the Splash Damage team it already looks promising, as they have been known to support the competitive community in various ways with their previous titles, however a quiet fear still dwells amongst the competitive FPS fans,

- Updated version of Hammer, the Source level editor
- Updated Faceposer

The full list of categories for the awards are as follows:
