Brilliant article. Very well written! I can say that I do agree with nearly all of the nominations and winners as well as with the reasoning for each selection. Also 'Rain came at the king, and while he came close, he missed.' is just <3.

Having "none" as the worst drama is garbage. Taking the "high" road and shaking your finger at all of it is just stupid. It happened and some of it had worse effects than others. You can admit this. I loved the article but that part really pissed me off.
I hear your heart beat to the beat of the drums, what a shame that you came here with someone.

You're right, San was the player who had a 3-kill against ZeNex.

Also deciding between Life/DRG for me was difficult. DRG's poor second half alongside Life beating Mvp/Leenock/Parting in three major finals made me give it to him. No player was truly dominate all year long like Mvp last year.

Awesome read. Didnt read the entire thing but I agree with most of it except for Zerg of the year (international) which is Scarlett in my book (she is also 2nd place breakout player if you ask me). Reading articles like this makes me happy to be a part of this scene for over 2 years now and even though I dont watch as much Starcraft as I did back then, I still feel the same passion and excitement when doing it, especially now through Proleague, which is in some ways like watching the GSL open seasons again.

The important part:
What I want to say is: Thx a lot teamliquid, the Staff, everyone who is either writing articles and/or creating awesome LR-Threads and basically all of the community for making my life so much better. With this website I found a place where I can not just enjoy e-sports with like-minded people but also discuss other important stuff in a controlled manner like nowhere else.

My New-Years-Resolution: to get more involved in the community by contributing to liquipedia etc. which seems like a good way for me to at least give something back even if its just a little.

Took me a while, but I got through everything. Can't believe I'd forgotten about DRG's ceremony.

Really well written, can't wait to see the games of the year list :>

Agreed.

Honestly, the biggest drama from my perspective was the whining about the "patchzergs", especially the thread that brought the word into our vocabulary.

Regardless, I loved reading the rest of the article. There are little subtle jokes everywhere and it's heart-warming to understand them. Great write up and thanks for the yearly review.

I have one big issue with this article. There is no "tree.hugger Hipster Picks for 2013" category. What the hell, man? Did you run out of Apocalypses?^^

Seriously, that's a cool storyline missing, having someone challenge you to pay closer attention to certain players and then rubbing it in his face if those players do well or not.

this article is awesome and i agree with most of awards

i am particularly happy for superouman, a fellow frenchman, i mean, i can feel how happy he should be, having his map played by the best players in the world

Excellent article! Regarding the most entertaining player, and why there were no notable foreigners...well...you kinda need to win to celebrate/be interviewed _P
(the other option of podcasts was a pretty big disaster this year, both major ones were very inconstent)

Happy new year everyone and here is to an even better year for SC2!

Incredible write up. Agree with all the nominations and winners.
One thing i'd argue about is the most entertaining player. I'm OK with Parting, but i laughed a lot during WCG with CombatEX games. Knowing that this topic is very fragile on TL, i won't continue.
Anyways, good read before sleep. Thanks a lot.
Also most awarded player - Parting. Well deserved, he was a shining Star of 2012.
