I'm just sad that there's no 'best series'.

Squirtle vs MVP GSL finals I think has to be mentioned somewhere when you're talking best of 2012.

Great write up though. Loved the opinion piece on the drama. Spot on!

Glad to see them back, but I strongly disagree with a lot of them. ESPECIALLY player of the year. DRG was robbed.

Overall, I have to say...2012 kind of sucked xD

I miss 2011 ;;

2013 should be good though.

Yeah, long live Startale!!

I can no doubt agree with the awards. 2012 was a great year and we really saw a ton of amazing players rise to prominence. I think compared to 2011, a lot of the "decent" players got separated and now we're left with a decently sized really strong performing group of players. Great year, 2012, and thanks to you, TL, too.

I'd give you all the awards (don't ask me how that's possible, but I would, damn it!).

How come tournament of the year: Europe didn't even have any other nominees? Fully agree with the decision but found that a bit weird, unless it's to mean it's the uncontested best. But no other continent had no other nominees, does Europe just need to step it up?

WCS Europe was so good that it was far and away the winner without any debate and/or discussion.

That Gumiho vs MMA match was absurdly entertaining.

Last year there was some controversy with some of the picks, but this year I don't know how anyone can argue with your picks. They were all spot on! Very nice read.
