The "White-Ra" Award for Best Quote
Rainbow himself, who said he chose Terran because it was "the most challenging race." People laughed at him when he made the quote but it boomeranged and smacked everyone in the face when it actually turned out that playing T vs Fruit Dealer actually is the biggest challenge.


This was actually misunderstood. Rainbow chose to play Terran during the beta, and he was referring to Terran being the most challenging race to play during the beta. I'm a huge FS fan, but I hate to see Rainbow get flak for a misunderstanding.


Terran mechanics haven't really changed in any real way from beta to retail that would make it easier, so dunno how its misunderstood.

No one really knew how to play terran back then + terran was weaker while zerg and protoss were stronger.
No one believed reapers would be used as much.
There was quite big outcry from terran users about balance, Strelok even demanded from blizz that banelings should be nerfed. Funny thing is the next patch they were buffed


Terran got a bunch of buffs, which Protoss and Zerg got nerfed heaps (remember 1 supply roaches?).

I remember playing in the Beta and rolling over Terrans with baneling/roaches.

The "Giyom" Award for Best White Player
Goes to TLAF-Liquid`TLO. Yes, he and Idra both reached the Ro32. But TLO produced one of the most entertaining TvTs in SC2 history with his comeback win over Hyperdub.


Should probably say best "foreign" rather than best "white" at some point, but for now it's pretty much true.

Great writeup, also.

Nice write up.

Really would have liked to see the Nal_rA award given out... but I suppose nobody was worthy of such high distinction.

I think NexGenius should've gotten the Pokju award (worst player) because DAVIT crushed him in under ten minutes. Not scouting double cheese is baaaad. Then DAVIT got steamrolled 2-0 the next round. Maybe that match was also the upset of the tournament (Effort award), since NexGenius recovered to win the Blizzcon qualifier.
