I see DRG as more deserving of the zerg title. Life is good (obviously) but I can't help to think it's got a lot to do with the patch zerg effect...

haha one of the 5 tvt's played this whole year is the match of the year
also sad that life won instead of drg, drg was a man when it wasn't easy sailing for zerg.

Game of the year should be Squirtle vs. MVP on Metropolis @ GSL season 2 finals.

I said at the start of 2012 that Life had great potential and would be a great pick-up for any team in Korea.

He did pretty well.

well he stops going to middle school, and can go to a high school with very, very lax attendance requirements if he wants to

it's virtually guaranteed he'll get better unless HotS disagrees with severely

Probably my favourite foreigner game of the year:



Maybe it's nostalgia, though, haven't watched it in ages.

Great writeup but a little too predictable for my taste.

I would have liked Antiga Shipyard to be map of the year because its the best map Blizzard has made and because we almost always see great games on that map.

I also prefered NASL 4 over IPL 5. In fact I think the NASL crew surprised a lot of us with how amazing a show they delivered.

On the player of the year: I dunno, as a fan of both DRG and Life they both had pretty stellar runs of complete dominance. I agree with the aura thing for Life currently, though I think that's only vZ and vT as his vP is aura-less like every other zerg unfortunately. DRG only had this aura around GSL S1 whilst his other later year accomplishments (OSL GSLs3) it felt like it wasn't the same guy.

It would be obvious if DRG had won something in the latter half of the year that he was indeed the best for this year, but unfortunately Seed stole his soul and he's been struggling to regain it since. So I think I agree with the Life pick even if he was n/a for over half a year.

a shame naniwa didnt play zerg too, he would probably post the same results as stephano then. they're arguably the best players outside korea, just a shame the gap is so much bigger between them (in favor of stephano) than it should be (imo, barely noticeable) because of the state of the game.

lets hope blizzard shape up in 2013 and actually give us a game worth watching.

Great write up, really well done. Had a good read through i agree with a lot of these, but i honestly dont think ipl 5 was the best event of the year, i think the mlg with the kespa players first appearance or one of the dreamhacks were better.

Fantastic work. That fishuu picture is amazingly cute from Gom vs. Kespa (as always).
Happy tha Mvp got the Korean terran award, while Taeja performed mindblowingly in parts of 2012 it would not feel right.

Small correction to the article (if I don´t miss anything):

I think it's a play on the fact that none of those teams are truly "international" except team duran duran.

EDIT: And by "international" I mean "not Korean". Because in starcraft Korea is in outer space for all terms and purposes.

Ahhh, ok that makes sense. Totally went over my head.
Thought is was something like a placeholder that wasn´t removed or similar things.
