Re: players to watch for in 2013,

Last year, I wrote that article completely unprompted to hype few players I thought deserved some attention, and Wax (maybe reluctantly) allowed it in. This year, I simply haven't followed the scene as closely as I did in late 2011, and I frankly just don't know. So I'm sorry if you're missing your hipster picks for 2013.

It's going to be an unpredictable year with HotS anyway. When in doubt bet on foreign zergs, korean terrans and protoss of all nationalities.

snute kept you waiting, but delivered at the end. it's a shame though, i loved that article!

Hm, why wasn't Parting nominated for Player of the Year, considering he won pretty much every other category he could?

I agree with pretty much everything else

Despite being a big TL fan, I don't like their (self) acceptance of best foreigner team. DIdn't they just have three players (Jinro, Haypro, Sea) retire after seeing that their careers weren't going anywhere? I know it comes off as harsh, but where are the W's and big name additions to back up their claim of best foreigner/international team?

I agree completely. Hero and Taeja did great but the success of non-koreans in the roster of the international team winner should have more of a role in this award.

My terran bias says IM_Mvp shouldve been Player of the Year (Korea), but oh well otherwise they pretty much went where I also thought of them going. Was a good read.
