Thank you thank you thank you for recognizing that Columbus was actually THE mlg to watch this year. Hard to top the ultimate story line of the Korean invasion. Columbus has not been talked about enough as one or the best mlg's of the year.

Thanks for the nice article, what a good way to start 2012. I'm rewatching ThorZaINs TSL games right now and I could see him at least being worthy of a nomination for 'Most Creative Player', even though I agree with Kiwikaki winning I'm watching ThorZaIN do things that Korean Terrans have only started trying recently (sickest 1/1/1 against MC in game 5, I wonder what would have happened if he'd actually pushed off 1 base with that).

Ummm jjajki not for break out performance but leenock is? We always knew leenock was a boss, he just paired with all the titans so he never got to show his full potential.. Jjakji on the other hand...


Agree... well Leenock like you said never showed his "full potential" (assuming he was that good or close to it shortly before GSL November) but you're right jjakji came out of nowhere. Didn't he come straight from Code B into Code A into Code S into winning GSL November? Leenock, however, has been known as a decent Zerg for about the entire year, and has been improving ever since.

Also I don't agree with Thorzain being a break out player. Yeah he's good and he came at TSL3 quite fast but I would have given Jjakji a nomination instead. If Leenock deserved the best break out player nomination, Jjakji deserved it more. Anyways I would say Jjakji > Thorzain, even. In both cases we never really knew the other player. Jjakji has been playing in some korean leagues, but no one (on TL at least) has really given much coverage on him. However, Jjakji won Code S... Thorzain beat MC, sure, but really that's his only impressive win. Fruit Dealer has been playing poorly ever since after GSL Open 1, and none of the other players Thorzain beat were notable. I mean, I really don't think Tyler nor Kas would even be able to stay in Code A consistently, if they were to make it at all. Jjakji jumped into Code S immediately and won the whole thing.

Breakout performance is an award where the story is as important as the actual opponents and, and ThorZaINs underdog in every match storyline is a lot better than Jjakji's, simply because we don't really know anything about him except he's really fucking good at playing Terran. Don't forget also that he played MC when he was still, without a shadow of a doubt, the best Protoss in the world.

TL giving itself team of the year award based on: a Ro4 (not a championship) by Jinro, and 2 championships won by HuK, who is on EG.

Mouz has won // placed top 3 in basically every single team event in 2011. They got 2nd in IPL Team Arena Challenge (only foreign team to beat Koreans?), 2 time EG Masters Cup winner, 3rd GCPL Season 2.

Even EG hasn't finished higher than 4th in its own team league, Liquid couldn't even get higher than 4th in either GCPL Season 1 or 2.

Not to mention Mouz has: Thorzain and MaNa, who both have numerous podium placements. MorroW and HasuObs are also widely considered top foreigners. How can Mouz be ignored? Because they're not as popular and don't have as good marketing?

If there is a tie - it should be between Mouz and EG , Liquid has no place there , no offense ...



100% agree, without a doubt TL has done more for the SC community than anyone. But when it comes to team dynamics they don't come near to EG's level. Vote should've consisted of Mouz and a few other team. At the end of the day EG takes the top spot easy, they have way too much star power/good placings for any other teams to compare.


Can someone explain or link me to the drama mentions? Particularly the last one.

• Some translator trashes every ESPORT outside of Korean Brood War, 'quits' ESPORTS after getting called out by some guy who casts games and some other guy who cut his hair.

• Some guy makes a post about a girl supposedly manipulating him steal a headset and some other girls who knew this girl show up to defend her.

• Some guy who streams a lot gets DDOS'd by some kid, and he ends up fighting his dad or something; now they're going to be on some TV show or whatever.

• Some woman can't deal with people on the internet saying some mean things about some gold-league girl she hired for her pro-gaming team, so she threatens to take legal action or something.*


• Milkis drama.

• I don't actually know.

• The player is Destiny.

• The woman is SlayerSJessica, the girl is SlayerSEve.

This has been TLMZ bringing you your daily dose of ESPORTS drama (I'm so ashamed that I can even remember these).

edit: Better add "Team Liquid awards self 'Best Team Award'" to the nominations for 'Best Drama' for the 2012 awards.

(Z)biGs is such a white dude....
Ok. Jokes aside at least he isn't a pure korean (and by not being pure i mean that he got swiss nationality)

And never forget that mouz - EG rivalry is ten times more heated than the so called TL-EG rivalry (which basically doesn't exist).

Back to the topic of the TL Awards. It was funny that before the edits Apocalypse was on team IM ^^
