I have a tiny insignificant question - why do the PotY awards include nominees who have not won Z/P/TotY? If someone is not worthy to be considered the best player of their race, why are they nominated for best player overall?

Team ~~Taeja~~ Liquid is foreign team of the year? LOL can they even be considered a foreign team if all of their results come from Koreans?
Acer is foreign team of the year, they actually win with foreigners.

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

Gross. That game was a horribly boring turtlefest that was decided in 2 seconds because Mvp made a very strange mistake. Thinking it even belongs in the same sentence as Gumiho/MMA is madness.

FXO should have been foreign team of the year imo. they won 2 GSTLs and have foreign management + NA and EU rosters. Basically the same thing right?

Can't say I agree with Life being the player of the year. I think it's still Mvp. Everything else is pretty spot-on.

This is awesome! So happy for Team Liquid. I really wanted MKP to win Terran of the Year. He has always been my favorite player and believe he is far more consistent than his competitors.

Really awesome job. I love it, and I just rewatched GuMiHo vs MMA.

By the way, if you could release the top games of 2012 soon, that would be cool <3

Think Leenock should have won a title for all his innovation and contributions to both individual leagues, team leagues, nationally and internationally. Life did amazingly, but giving the same player 3 titles, seems very lazy to me. And the reason for letting ST win, I do not understand at all.

To be honest guys, PartinG has come completely out of nowhere and took the world by storm, there have been two years of terran and zerg dominance and now that a Protoss appears out of nowhere and develops a completely new playstyle for the world to use, I think he deserves a couple more awards. Anyone that had followed the korean ladder scene somewhat last year would have remembered Life as a ladder monster, I still have vivid memories of watching DRG stream and Life rip him to shreds in 2 consecutive games, it's tough to decide,
but PartinG is in a league of his own.

P.S. MC's undertaker is my undisputed best ceremony, his dancing, his commentary, his WWE-esque undertaker. I love him.

I see your point. Team Liquid didnt had that success with their foreigners, only TLO improved strongly, the rest more or less dont play a role anymore.

But on the other hand no foreign team had such a lucky hand by picking "cheap" koreans and make them to top players, dont forget that. Also i think EG should have been mentioned, cause they created a lot of high quality esport content this year, and they made these funny videos
