Lucky for everyone that missed the game of the year, it was game 1 of the GSTL finals and therefore FREE to watch. Look for the 2012 GSTL Season 2 Finals on gomtv.net

I don't like how Mvp got all cred for the hellion banshee when it was ForGG who came up with it first...

Fantastic write up, the only thing I disagree with is the "game of the year" but that is of course going to be highly opinionated. Personally MVP vs Squirtle where squirtle vortex mass bcs to win a game seemed more epic.

You chose Gumiho vs MMA as Game of the year over Squirtle vs MVP?

Unless I'm badly mistaken that's complete madness.

hrmmm, gumiho and MMA had action throughout whereas squirtle vs. mvp was a few seconds of ownage for an otherwise long macro game

Love this, would have liked to see more "who to watch in the coming year" style awards, if you think of expanding the selection in 2013

Because ForGG's build was not the same as his, his went into double armory Mech and hit a pre hive timing. It was a new build he unveiled at IEM and it helped him win the tournament, defeating many good Zerg players in a row. After the tournament other players copied the build and it became part of the standard TvZ metagame. Because of the heavy Zerg dominance at the time it got a lot more attention than it otherwise would.

I quite agree about not giving an award for drama. Way too much drama.

I feel like they should add a "Player of the game" award this year.

But I guess that would be MVP no contest.

Would like to have seen "Series of the year" or "Final of the year". But I guess that's just because I enjoyed the GSL season 2 final so much!

Great article, can't wait for the best games of 2012.

I'm unbelievably glad I finally joined TL, the writing and the insight we see into the world of starcraft 2 is just unparalleled anywhere else, seriously guys, a real joy

P.S. Whoever made that PartinG soul train pic deserves a Nobel Prize.
