I, uh, I've got a lot to say about the rookies this year, and a lot of nominations that I genuinely believe in because of it. The only reason I'm not nominating literally all of the candidates is because I'm explicitly forcing myself not to in order to keep the nomination process simple. This was honestly an incredible rookie year, anyone could win and I would fully believe they deserve it. I've divided my still very many nominations into a few different categories. The names are in no particular order, and names are only listed once even though individuals may qualify for multiple lists: Dedication Natetheman223 eien86 DyllonStej naruko OnehundredthCoin Reseren DJ Incendration Putting in tons of time and effort into their craft and into their interests, continuing forth in spite of adversities on many different levels, and always coming back and improving themselves in sometimes even unexpected ways. This really has been an amazing year, not just for the advancement of many different games and series, but for the art of TASing in general. Contribution Randomno PracticalTAS ikuyo OceanBagel weils Was a bit hard to think of a category name to describe how I view this group, but this is essentially people who went above and beyond to provide things for the site. Not even just their TASes, but their community engagement and contributions to helping the site itself. Keeping TASvideos alive matters a LOT to me in rookie nominations, and once again, we've had an incredible field of people doing that. Potential Darkman425 DarkShamilKhan Katistrofic2 mxlenny94 Riyan I'm terminally around TASvideos, I admit. I take note of nearly everyone who comes into the site and I sorta watch what they all do from the shadows, except it isn't as creepy as I'm making it sound. What I see from this group is, of course, pure potential. That's not to say they need to improve, of course, but I see a lot coming from them in the coming weeks, months, and hopefully years of the site. Some may have been around for a while, some may have just joined, but I see the exact same thing in them all, and that's a healthy future on this site, whether as contributors or active community members.

I have two key nominations here. Firstly, Randomno. He made a notable improvement to a movie which did not feature new tricks used in RTA, in fact it was 6 minutes faster! Definitely a great first movie. Secondly, I have to go with DJ Incendration. The fact he’s a (legally) blind TASer is simply extraordinary to me, and I definitely think he deserves recognition.

I would also like to nominate eien86, the way he came out of nowhere and took the Prince of Persia speedrunning community by surprise was amazing to witness. A routing bot and 3 published movies is impressive in the first year.

Nominating DyllonStej and PracticalTAS, even though neither are rookies in the typical sense - both have already been accomplished TASers for years, just outside of TASVideos. Nevertheless, they entered this year with some enormously high quality work. Also nominating OnehundredthCoin and Natetheman223.
