Idra and Jinro both took an MLG, and Jinro went further in GSL than Idra, although Idra qualified for more GSL's. It's subjective. We'll find out who is better within the week when they play in the Code S group. | ||

I agree, I was about to post saying that, just because you remove someone from your poll doesn't make him any less of a gamer. It's hard to argue that Idra isn't deserving of the award or at least top 5 so by removing him from your poll it illegitimizes your poll, not Idra's play.

I agree, they've had such an arbitrary ranking system for so long and do small things that just don't make sense like this, its just saddening to see such decisions made so trivially for what is arguably the 2nd biggest foreign SC site. | ||

If it's a sportmanship award or an "SC Athlete of the Year/Great Guy" Award, than I guess I understand. But Select's year has been pretty comparable to QXC's, in terms of acheivements. And TLO's a great guy, but so's Nony, Kiwikaki, InControl ... I guess my point is, I'm not sure what you want us to base our judgement on. If it's a popularity contest, than I voting for TLO or White Ra. If I'm voting based on overall acheivement, than it's Huk or Jinro. If I've voting for who I think would win a tournament in that group, than it's Jinro. | ||

-- e: If this list isn't 100% about pure skill/achievement, then what is it about? Tasteless does a lot for the game and he's a player; why can't we slap him on? Artosis qualified for GSL S1, which none of the players on this list except TLO managed to do, so where's he? I'm a total badass, why aren't I on there? Who decided? -- Gosugamers seems to think all Asians are Korean, so that's why Sen wasn't on there. Also, Tarson seems to have quite a few fans, but he really doesn't seem like he's anything special and I don't know if he deserves to be on that list. | ||

Pretend it's the "best American football player" award from espn, then imagine that some dude who is a really good player tells espn to "fuck itself" and "they don't know what they're doing" and "all the other players are bullshit." he's probably not the best football player because he's a giant dick. I wouldn't say someone was the best person if they bm constantly. I have no idea what idra did, and if it was bad enough to be disqualified, but manners definitely have to do with the community giving you an award. And the fact of the matter is that the word "best" is subjective, and to them best has to do with manners and I happen to agree so omgwtf let's all post our subjective opinions about the meaning of a word on forum k? | ||

But it's not ESPN - and even if he was a dick, Manner has NOTHING to do with skill and merit. I have no problem with GG.net having an award where theres some judging criteria like: - accompliments - contributions to the community (maybe streaming, coaching posting etc) - manner and then have people vote. Thats not what this is. Its called BEST non-korean of the year. That list of candidates is very short and without any doubt includes Idra. | ||

Post by enron @ gg.net poll comments: You don't know the story here, take my word and accept the fact he was excluded do to the sportsmanship in the GosuGamers Holiday Special. It was nothing personal involved, and it was not about "bming each other". I'm just trying to explain things, not make a big deal out of it, but it's hard when people take what I say the wrong way. This is meant to be something good, please look past the fact he isn't among the nominees. what kind of post is that... "you dont know the story but im not gonna tell you so take my word that its really bad! also im trying to explain things without explaining anything and people dont understand it and take it the wrong way!" ... what? toss up between FA and Idra. idra def the by far most consistent player of all. FA destroyd evrything at the end of the year and was pretty much the 2nd best player in gsl3. others dont compare imho. | ||

It's not like those nominees don't deserve some kind of recognition. They should just change the name of the award to, " Guy we like the most out of this group of guys" Award. | ||
