This is more of a TI2 and post-TI2 awards, isn't it.

Because much of pre-TI2 wasn't taken into account.
So what do you think it's missing? Before TI2 there was SL, DHS, and a bunch of online events.

What exactly from those tournaments is worthy of an award? You could argue that there are a lot more new-comers that should be considered, but even then the story of Bulldog playing stand-in after pubbing with Na'Vi, or Envy with his post here on TL to winning DH. Those are still bigger stories.


The dominance of Na'Vi in early 2012 and Zenith mid 2012 I guess. I mean, yeah sure, most were online tournaments, but considering how they dominated a huge part of 2012 and no credit was given, at all?

You could argue that was before the Chinese peaked into their current form, but then that isn't indicative of the whole year, is it?

And kellymilking is obviously going to be biased, guys. No need to be surprised. I like how tasteless her "China farmer" remark is though.

Well Na'Vi doesn't deserve best team because they proved to not be. Zenith did well in online tournaments and did fine in TI2. What more is there to say?

What awards exactly are you expecting them to be getting? Na'Vi got runner up best team, which is what they were.

Faith won over ChuaN? that is just plain wrong sorry, I disagree with other polls as well but the support of the year is ChuaN, that guy is amazing, like from another world ... Faith is just two level under him ...

This was a very nice list. That Roshan bait is so epic! Fun to read and perfect amount of text

Supertotaly agree with navi as most charismatic team! But as runner up i think Liquids team much more than coL, although they only existed for the late part of the year and I'm probably very bias.. But they're a very charismatic team and I hope they continue with they unorthodox playstyle and creative picks so they can contest navi for the 2013 award And contest with iGs for best team hehe Man, this article reminds me of how beastly that team is!

After the TI2 controversy i don't think he's worthy of caster of the year at all :/
That was incredibly unprofessional of him and a dickish move to the teams.
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

Let me shed some light onto some of our decisions and hopefully lead to some good discussion

1) no yyf, simply but he's not any of our 3 categories, as unwieldy as 1-5 was it might have been better than way we did it simply did not allow of flamers to shine and I feel it was quite regrettable as he would likely have been my pick for player of the year. Both yyf and Loh, as well as an feel a bit gimped in this regard, as do many 4-5th position players ho had twice the competition

2) faith over chuan, for those who've only seen ti2 and the string of success igs had since this might feel like a strange choice, but faith is indeed at least as good if not better than chuan as a part of ig despite not making as many huge plays. First, he often does the drafts and has a more commanding and teamplay role than chuan, he is also more reliable and consistent, especially when playing from behind. Finally, his existence is part of what allows chuan to shine so much since he's the definition of one protect four and possibly the most dedicated "hard" support in the world given how well the rest of the team sponge up all the farm while still making a huge impact in clashes

3) the play
It's an issue of fierce debate but several of the staff members (myself included) see it more as a colossal failure on igs part in preparation and execution and navi simply queuing up the correct and obvious response during 5 seconds and thus either did not see it as a play or saw it as an anti-play, the matter was discussed more or less to death during its thread after ti2 in the general forums as well and the controversy is what it made it absent from the list, since other plays were more universally agreed upon
When in doubt, just believe in yourself and press buttons

Got to say he Mouz with singsing had a lot of charisma. Was a huge fanfavourite when they were still active together. (The Black, Bamboe, Sing, 1437, Kuroky/CWM)

I don't get the "charisma" awards. I mean I don't think charisma is not the right word for it. Maybe popular would be more appropriate for what the description paragraph suggests as it goes on about how many people like what about the the player. You can't really measure charisma nor rate it so that award feels a bit weird.

Great work though, no mention of YYF (arguably the best player in iG) is kinda sad but overall, very nicely done.
