Wuuuut, I don't agree with this at all. There were a lot of team leagues, and yes I know TL didn't participate in some of them, but if your taking those results at all then Mouz should at least be nominated, if not win the whole thing, they won back to back EG team leagues beating EG and Liquid multiple times. This is an absolutely gigantic oversight that I'm not used to seeing on TL front page articles, surprised they aren't even a little bit salty. (granted a TL news award doesn't actually mean anything so it's not that surprising)

Team liquid being tied with EG for best team is a joke. Also mousesports should be nominated

Disagree with a lot of the article but it's well written and an enjoyable read. I understand the voting took place by more than one person but mousesports should really get recognition. If you want to weight individual performances more that's fine but they've completely outlasted every other foreigner team, even some Korean teams, and dominated every team league, and MaNa is 2nd in almost as many leagues as MKP ><.

Also it is REALLY discrediting, (and probably just a troll) to put PuMa's TvP match history in a segment relating to 1/1/1, people are just going to read that and blindly agree. It just puts fuel on the fire. Polt used the 1/1/1, he fucking created the 1/1/1 back in release, and has a far better winrate TvP, yet he doesn't get criticism. Idk maybe you just struck a nerve but it just pisses me off because PuMa's ghost control and understanding of the matchup was at one point way ahead of any other player in the world.

And you have mech TvT but no 6 gate? Doesn't MC get any love for winning some of them GSLs?

And KiWi for most creative player

, among others >.>

As much as I root for TL and dislike EG, I agree that EG is clearly the top foreign team.

Great article TL and an amazing way to start the year. Don't agree with parts of it and do agree that mousesport should get a larger recognition to being considered for team of the year.

Also at times when you consider a team of the year, are you considering the most single persons achievements or as a team. Like imagine if nobody had won anything on IM except for MVP who had won 5 GSL's, I do not think that should be considered a team of the year. Slayers is a team where literally the entire team is hugely talented and in my regard wins team of the year.

Pretty biased imo, but this is TL, so it should be expected I suppose.

But see, that's Liquipedia so it clearly must be SUPER BIASED. God forbid TL gets nominated or an award for anything on teamliquid.net. -_-

Great write-up. But I have two questions about that drama thing: Which caster called Milkis out? And what was that story with the headset stealing?

Hard to believe there is only 6 months between MLG Columbus and GSL November. The game has grown so much!

Amazing read! I just love this community, this site and the articles. Even if i don't agree with certain opinions or polls here i love TL and Esports <3
I think you should haven mentioned the shows around sc2. Like all the onemoregame stuff or sotg

And i do have to agree that it is kinda weird that mouz is not even mentioned for the best team.

very good decisions. I agree with almost all of them.

We should have a Day[9] Caster of the Year award as well.

*edit: grammar.

Completely wrong. Breakout Performance: by far Leenock. Best Game: drg vs mma is highly over-hyped and actually a poorly played game for those who understand the match-up; much more interesting would be jjakji leenock or mvp leenock regarding tvz. Best Event: how columbus could be chosen over providence is truly remarkable.
