Finally had the time to sit down and read this to completion. A great article with meaningful awards and thoughtful choices to who they go to. Thanks TL staff for another enjoyable contribution and thoughtful piece of content, a good way to sum up the year.

I am baffled by the fact that entire article has not mentioned Sen at all. Sen's accomplishment on 2011 deserves a mention at least, if not an award. He finished 3rd in NASL season 1, the best foreigner finish behind Koreans while defeating July. He finished 3rd in BlizzCon 2011, defeating Naniwa. He finished 3rd in NASL season 2, best foreigner finish again, behind Koreans yet defeating Thorzain. Hence if Naniwa and Thorzain get their tributes, where's sen's? Hell, if Idra, who has not win a MLG on 2011 except MLG "North American" Invitational, could get a mention for his entertainment value, why not mention Sen for some actual skills? The so called TL awards need to disclose its rewarding criterion, seriously.

For Liquid: Assembly Summer, GSL RO4, DreamHack Summer, DreamHack Winter, Blizzcon EU, and HomeStoryCup3. For EG: IPL1, IEM Cologne, IEM Guangzhou, MLG Orlando, GSL RO8, and ASUS ROG Stars.

ASUS ROG stars is a major notable championship? And where are the 2x NASL from EG?

That was refreshing. I didn't follow SC2 too much in 2011, and this just helped me out a lot. Thanks for the write-up. And let me say "well deserved Day[9]".

Great article, it brought up to speed on a few things I missed out on! I followed early on in 2011, but dwindled later on!

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. -_-

Actually there were minor errors and for 2011 - as far as premier championships are concerned - EG was ahead of TL 5:4

EG:
MLG Orlando (HuK)
NASL Season 1 & 2 (PuMa both)
IEM Guangzhou and Cologne (IdrA and PuMa, respectively)

At the same time TL:
Assembly Winter (Ret)
DreamHack Summer and Winter (HuK and HerO)
European Battle.net Invitational (Ret)

Also both teams provided one Champion of MLG in 2010 and won one tournament that qualifies as "premier-championship-except-it-is-qualified-as-major-on-liquipedia": ROG for EG (IdrA) and HomeStory Cup III for TL (HuK).

All and all - EG seems slightly ahead from that point of view.

Please note that I'm not trying to restart flame or s.t. but when I previously provided the link, it listed as though both teams had 5 wins each (1 in 2010, 4 in 2011) and this was my error.
