One poll to find the quote and one quote to rule them all... for 2012.

Dear TL StarCraft nerds, as recently announced - it's finally time to vote for the SC2 Quote of the Year 2012. 2012 has been the year of eSports, and this is reflected in some awesome quotes. The nominations are all quotes from 2012 selected by the SC2 Quote of the Day team through a thorough process of internal voting, and when that wasn't enough to decide, internal cannibal holocausts. There had to be a cap, so many good quotes have been left out but you can browse them all from the quote archives. The poll starts today (20th of Dec) and will be closed on Sunday the 23rd of Dec at midnight PST, so make sure you cast your vote by then.

We are also doing a small giveaway to celebrate quote of the year and the 1st SC2 Quote of the Day anniversary (can you believe it!): at the end of the poll, from all the comments on this thread we will pick a lucky one at random to win a t-shirt of choice from our store + stickers, also we'll pick other 3 people at random from the comments and send them a few stickers each

So, without further ado, we are proud to present you with our nominations:

    NostradamusRa predicts the future while laddering (~03:00):
    StarCraft is game that is close to reality, not only in us life we have many war for resources, in future in space we can see same war but little bit more different stuff, like animals, humanoid, UFO and people fighting each other.

The first 4 and the last one are great quotes, the rest are kind of Meh.

Regardless people will probably vote for the person who said it rather than the content/context.

A good way to threaten somebody is to light a stick of dynamite. Then you call the guy and hold the burning fuse up to the phone. "Hear that?" you say. "That's dynamite, baby."

what if I told you, you can tweet quotes to us? (insert Morpheus meme here)

we try our best but we're human too and can't cover every event even if it's a premier, major, or otherwise (nor all the interviews and personal player tweets). The PartinG quote happened to slip by us. If you got the VOD or event reference for us to look up to find his "Soul" quote we'll add it to archives.

Keep in mind, this poll is for the whole year of 2012, not just the last month or so.

What about Totalbiscuits "The technology isn't there yet"? I'm pretty sure that was this year.
