The Star AR players came to play in Modern Warfare 3, lighting up the League with Slaying & damage. While there are multiple candidates fighting only one can be crowded AR Player of the Year.
To help vote on each award, Breaking Point has created a panel of voters from the Community. The panel consists of Breaking Point staff, The Flank team, the on-air broadcast talent, coaches from each of the twelve professional teams, and select members from media within the space.
Each voter was asked to rank their top five players for each award. Each position earns:
1st: 10 points
2nd: 7 points
3rd: 5 points
4th: 3 points
5th: 1 point
After compiling the voters’ ballots, the search has been narrowed to four. Without further ado, here are the AR Player of the Year nominees:

The Main AR for Atlanta led the League in KD (1.21), Respawn KD (1.20), TES (63.2%), NTK% (77.9%), SND KD (1.27), Control KD (1.26), and many other categories. MC was positive in 91% of the series, going negative just four times.
