Yea the only thing interesting about this is who the upsets will be. Fantasy/Flash will be a good contest, but everyone can pretty much guess who the votes go to now.

How the hell isn't MBC's coach included? Look what he did to the team who finished 11th.
Even as a biased KT fanboi I must say that he has got to be nominated for sure.

The seasons used for these events are fall of the previous year to the end of the summer of this year.Its weird, but if they wanted to do a proper ranking they'd do it after the fall season. So technically his good run this season does not count, only MBC's failure the previous PL year counts

This should only be concerning the 2008-2009 Proleague run and last two or three SL seasons though, so it's not really relevant.

If anyone could reaffirm me on this or not, but if I remember correctly, I read an interview about how Stork plays like a bunch of other games (and watches One Piece), because January doesn't really force them to play only Starcraft (or at least didn't for a while). It seems like he'd be a good nominee for the best player of all games (maybe Bisu, Flash, and Jaedong play more games, but I don't recall them saying in interviews that they play other games).

Flash is better but Fantasy is easily getting this award. Can't argue with a further reaching performance for awards.

Flash'll take the next one, though, considering Fantasy is playing like garbage this season and Flash is, well, Flash again. 8)

What kind of logic is that? Just because he plays WoW and watches anime, he gets some kind of bonus? What a load of BS. Best doesn't mean "he would perform better than everyone else if he worked as hard". Best means he performs better, period.

This is the exact same logic as people extrapolating up their iccup rankings.

It's only been one round. There's quite a bit left. Keep in mind that Fantasy's performance in R1 last year was pretty lackluster as well.

Keep in mind this is an award for all of 2009 (so it seems since it's yearly).

If that's the case, it's pretty absurd to put anyone (yes even flash) other than Jaedong for the player of the year award.

I think you misunderstood that particular award to mean best all-round gamer. That's not it at all. Remember, this is not a Starcraft-only awards ceremony but e-Sports. There are also non-Starcraft players nominated in this category (but not listed in the OP). I'm guessing most of the other players there would be SpecialForces players. Anyway, that award is meant to go to the best player (at their specialized game) amongst those. Obviously that can be hard to judge, but then again as was said before these aren't the most serious awards anyway.

Fantasy's performance in PL as a whole is lackluster, despite his finals performance. I'm just mentioning how Flash is doing better in PL and both leagues right now (well they're tied in OSL but Flash is the better shot to come out of his).

I'm sorry, but Stork has just been out performing Bisu lately hands down. I understand this is for the whole year, but off the top of my head I can't really think of that much that Bisu has done that Stork hasn't matched (not counting PL as that's a team victory). I mean, yeah, neither of them did much at the start but at least Stork's on his game NOW in the leagues where it's gonna count.

How can Flash be considered best player when he hasn't won any Kespa sanctioned events AND Jaedong has won 2 OSLs and the golden mouse?


Flash has 1 OSL, well hes so consistent... Bound to get a lot of votes even if it wasnt just fans. Statistically he should get the award, but I prefer Sea or Fantasy.

On second thought, there is no way to objectively give Flash the best terran award of Fantasy.
Two OSL silvers and a Proleague title compared to no achievements at all except most proleague wins in 08-09 season.

KeSPA rankings go back one year. It may not be perfect, but Flash has a good margin on Fantasy. More so with GOM, which I'm hesitant to include.
Rankings are objective, maybe not accurate, but 100% objective.

You're talking about best T and not overall right?

Alot of these won't even be close.

Map: Destination
Rookie: Effort - How can this one be disputed? He's been raping hard
Coach: Park Yong Woon
Protoss: Bisu - He may not be doing too hot now but a majority of 2009 was his stomping ground
Terran: Flash - Not too sure since he wasn't doing that amazing for the majority of the year
Zerg- Jaedong- No contest
Best Player: Jaedong- Back to back osl wins? Seems like an easy choice here
