What a really nice article! I liked the collaborative effort in order to get varied perspectives. I can agree with almost all of the choices, and while I am not concerned in the slightest with any bias that existed, I do wish that some of the categories would have had more nominations.
Additionally, I enjoyed the section that highlighted some of the up-and-comers of 2012. In particular, I like that you did not choose names that were already pretty popular, just not champion-calibur players (for example, I like that you did not choose Axlav, although he is certainly a great up-and-coming player - it is just that everyone already knows who he is, and deservedly so!). Instead, you focused on people I truly have never seen before, and that is something that I am really excited about.
All in all, this was a fantastic article, and it makes me terribly excited for the upcoming year! Thank you very much TL!

What a fun article.
It would be cool if this could be expanded to a semi-event type ceremony.
Team liquid has sufficient credibility and clout to give out theses awards and for the award to be meaningful.
I think it would be positive promotion of Starcraft and eSports in general.

They forgot NASL season 1 and 2 for EG championships.
Edit: Or technically just Season 2, because I don't beleive Puma was with duruing S1.

"I like to think there's a special place in hell for the 1/1/1."
LOL Thanks guys, that was a spectacular read!

I truly think SlayerS was more of the Team of the Year as well as IPL over MLG (MLG didn't get it right until 3 or 4 MLGs later).
|
Would have been nice to see a "best streamer" award. Maybe next year?
Happy New Year <3

Enjoyed the write up damn was really good.
|
The most entertaining player section won most entertaining write up award lol.
Idra, the gift that keeps on giving.

Why is TL tied for team of the year with EG? It isn't hard at all to weigh the two teams' achievements against eachother -- TL is carried by HerO while EG is "carried" (if you can call it that) by three top players (now four I guess).
Bias...

Liquid (1st places):
PokerIdol (TLO)
Assembly Winter (Ret)
Blizz EU Invitational (Ret)
DreamHack Summer (HuK)
HomeStoryCup III (HuK)
DreamHack Winter (HerO)
EG (1st places):
IPL Season 1 (IdrA)
IEM GamesCom (PuMa)
IEM China (IdrA)
Asus ROG (IdrA)
MLG Orlando (HuK)
NASL Season 2 (PuMa)
Edit: Looks like EG was 'carried' by 2 players. Huk only has one win as an EG member. TL has 4 different players.

Great write up. Brought back some great memories. Here's to another great year in 2012

"Subtract one of the most miscast hosts in history, and you've got the famous ESPORTS couch, six of the best casters in the world, two of the best players in the world..."
Can I get a list of who is who on that list? I missed most of DHW11. I'm curious as to who the "two best players" and "subtract one of the most miscast hosts," but if I could get a list of who all was there and which section they'd fit in, that would be awesome.

a great read, thanks TL, Award for best website goes to you by a unanimous decision
|
great write up, but how was puma vs mc NASL season 1 final, not on best series? :O

I don't see why you would say huk's win doesn't count yet tlo's does, as they both have 1 win on their current team.
