magicman: Has been around for a long, long time. He finally got his first WR in Bowling some tables ago. He has a good TT (under 43), and he did very well in WCup 4. He ended as the highest ranked Swede with 7th place. He has made an elma rap song, listen to it here. He's a very nice guy, and he literally smiles all the time.

Stini: Stini has improved madly since he joined the scene some time in December 2002. He has literally been improving his TT by 1 minute per month since January this year, currently it's 41:55,82. He has improved it almost 45 seconds only this last week! He is a very good battler and is doing fairly well in the Mopobattles standings. He has had one Finnish record in the past, and has done well in some external contests. He also got decent results in the final WC4 events. Don't be suprised if you see him breaking the 41 TT limit in August (or even earlier), it just means he's on schedule so far.
deadnite: deadnite suddenly broke through with 2 WRs in one table in March this year. He has had a total of 9 WRs since then. He ended in top20 in World Cup 4. He's a member of IC, which is a sure sign of talent. He has also shown his skills in mopobattles, with one event victory.
SoC: Almost everyone knows SoC in some way, and maybe not always in a good way. The fact of matter, however, is that if you look behind the poor English skills you will find a talented player. He has improved his TT greatly in quite short time, currently it's 43:43.94. He's a decent battler. And if not for his abilities, maybe SoC deserves to win the KOM title simply for the incredible impact he has had on the elma scene and its grammar.
John: As I'm writing this, John is trying to shave 0.31 seconds off his TT, in order to break the 40 minute barrier. He has probably already succeeded when you read this. In a fashion reminiscent of DarMoeD, he came from practically nowhere. And although he, unlike DarMoeD, hasn't had any WRs yet, it's more than likely that he could have if he tried. There's certainly nothing lacking in the skills department. John is also a good battler, and is doing well in the mopobattles statistics.
Did I forget an essential point about one of the players? Tell me here.
