Changes

Guillaume certainly lost all opportunity to win POY 2008 in the last quarter: reaching top 10 too late while Angelo had already climbed to #7, he stopped after having passed German rival [[Manuel Babjar]] for #9 and switched to NTSC, hoping to catch the attention with massive cuts as he was starting from a very weak overall level there. In December, Guillaume won two consecutive POW awards and his first Player of the Month, breaking his first official NBT World Record on RR for the last update of the year (1'24"07), but it was too late and Angelo became obviously Player of the Year 2008.

There are two interesting anecdotes about this reward. First of all, [[Sami Çetin]], the Players' Site manager, told Guillaume that he was the obvious second choice after Angelo — a kind of private information Sami generally keeps for himself. Then, Angelo also asked Sami a few times to divide this prize to share it with Guillaume in the awards charts, which was very kind and generous from him, but Sami replied that it was impossible for technical reasons. We also can easily guess it wouldn't have really made sense, even if that year, there were almost two players of the years in terms of spirit.
