Shockwave
They got a charger that looks like Larry Fitzgerald and covers ground like him
End of discussion!

[kTyson6]

To me "Breakthrough" means that they have been in the mix before but they finally came through with a tournament victory or deep runs in several tournaments.

In my opinion Flying V fits the bill.

[AD-ROCK]

Agree with Kyle. Flying V as taken it to the next level.

[Trey it Up]

For the first part of the season it was NYSH, but they've been in a really bad slump recently. Flying V had a good showing in their home tournament, but I'm not sure their limited resume is good enough to take home this award. Catalina Wine Mixers looked great in their inaugural JV tournament.

My vote would be for Shockwave since they've been very consistent in multiple tournaments, and have knocked off a lot of top teams this year.

[kTyson6]

Doesn't Shockwave qualify more as rookie team of the year?

[MEATBALLKEVIN]

Fully Loaded.

Fully Loaded.

Definitely!

This is a close race between the V and FL, they have similar resumes and an argument could be made for both. Both will be in Boston...

V/FL might be 1A/B with Cobra Kai right behind them.

I'd say Cobra Kai is right there with the both of them as they've beaten Flying V twice this year.

[machinegunkelly]

Id say Shockwave or Cobra Kai

[sduncan]

In my opinion in order to be a breakthrough team, you have to have really broken-through. I'd say that is at least making a finals, if not winning a tournament. Although they've have a rough go of it in the last two tournaments NYSH has to be considered with 2 tournament wins.

[kTyson6]

NYSH's breakthrough moment could have happened in CCC 11 by making it to the finals, and their two tournament wins this year are more of a natural progression of where people expected them to go.

[krabbas]

This might be the closest award of them all. You can really make a strong case for V, FL, Shockwave, Cobra Kai, and the Hammers.

I gotta lean towards the Hammers now with 2 tourney wins. But I could be swayed.

[FlyingV]

You'll receive my support in the Rookie team and all Fashion awards.

NYSH's made the CCC final last year. IMO they were a breakthrough team LAST year.

See, that's how to sway me! Leaning towards the V now! Haha.

Actually, edge makes a good point. The Hammers did breakthrough last year.

I would say that NYSH were knocking on the door last year and they broke through this year.

[Edge]

Off topic, but can we get an award for best random commentary during kickball videos? Dematas wins that hands down. You had me cracking up during the LIU/OSC finals.

I don't even know what I was saying, but there were a lot of BLK players there talking to me.

[FlyingV]

In my opinion Flying V fits the bill.

Numbers to support.

2011- (11-13-2) (5 tournaments) 4.07 Runs Against 3.69 Runs Per Game
1-5 in eliminations
2012- (19-4-2) (4 tournaments) 1.64 Runs Against 4.8 Runs Per Game
Elite 8, (2) Final 4, 1 Championship

if LBC were registered, i'd have to say LBC.

[btaylor]

Fully Loaded or flying V. I give the edge to fully loaded because they were close last year and finally did get the win this year.

[krabbas]

I'm sure the edge has nothing to do with you joining the team. Haha.

Leave my name out of this.

They can just use some of their winnings. Haha. I'm sure admin would gladly take the $60 to let them be discussed!

Cobra Kai

[FlyingV]

I'm biased, but I'd vote for us.

Cobra Kai would be my #2

[Trey it Up]

Cobra Kai...and it's not close. Two runner-up and one Championship finish. They were lowly ranked in each tourney, too. Nobody else has been that consistent--not even the traditional powers.

And they have a guy who looks like Johnny of Karate Kid. This one isnt even close.

definitely. Definitely definitely.

[sduncan]

If Shower Hammers is on the list I'm not sure how you could leave us (The Situation) off of the voting...I know I'm new to The Circuit this year, but I feel like we'd fit the bill pretty well.

[Edge]

NYSH has had a very impressive 2012, but I wouldn't consider them a breakthrough team since they did make the CCC finals last year.

I'd say (in no order) teams that have had breakthrough years are:

Situation
Flying V
Fully Loaded
Cobra Kai
JKIDeep
Shockwave
