If Parting 4-0s with immortal-sentry all-ins, I demand he be given TL player of the year.

thats more than enough to be worthy

no you didnt forget anything. but considering he beat like a total of 1 Korean in WCG and BWC combinted kind of makes it hard for me to give him my vote and because he didnt win anything until a month ago.

Id say its between DRG (won MLG Anaheim and GSL, second place at two MLGs and OSL, and I guess you could count King of Kongs and FXOpen 5) and Leenock (won IPL and MLG, second at a MLG and some World esports thing and Russian Starleague)

and between those two id vote DRG because im biased and Leenock didnt play in a final in Korea this year and DRG's dominance came when Zerg wasnt by far the best race.

I'd say Life would be closer than Parting with a win.


PartinG should have clearly won the most prize money, also while WCG competition was a joke, its still one of the most prestigious events. (and MKP choked, so its still not like a walkover)

But undoubtable WCS World & Asia and Blizzard Cup had some of the toughest competition in it, so yeah PartinG is pretty much in the run among Leenock, Life and DRG, and DRG only because of his dominance during the first half, but even then he hasnt won that much money like PartinG.

I d say its pretty hard to say, and in the end the one with the most fans would get the most picks, you might even expect HerO to be extremely high up there, lol

Well and Mvp sadly doesnt deserve it, hes just not in the right condition.

Such a sick final. Life can be so aggressive so it'll be some good early/mid game methinks.
For the love of the game

This has nothing to do with money, just because BWC had the largest prize pool doesnt mean it has the most meaning going into player of the year. For example winning a GSL>winning BWC, even winning an MLG is harder. But DRG still has the 2nd most money this year and he didnt even play in the 100k tournament.

Plus while DRG hasnt been nearly as good as them in the second half of the year, his second half was better than all of their first halves.

I think winning a GSL is a requirement for being player of the year.

oh and Parting played CombatEX in the quaterfinals of WCG and Adelscott in the finals, they are obviously very good at the game, but they arent even top foreigners.

but he is on the verge of winning a GSL event. More over, GSL event consisting entirely of champions. Same with MLG.
Yea Parting came in late in the year, but his dominance so far eclipses anything we've seen since broodwar.

Definitely not, PartinG is having an insane run at the moment but let's not forget he dropped out early on in GSL S3, S4 and S5, he is no where near dominant. When he wins a MLG, wins GSL, gets to the finals of another GSL, wins a blizzcon at the same time, gets to the ro4 of the next GSL, wins WCG Korea and the GSL team ace invitational on the same day, wins WCG, places 4th at MLG providence from the open bracket and gets to ro4 in the Blizzard Cup we can talk about dominance. When he places top 4 at every single premier ( or non premier ) tournament he enters within a 5 month span we can talk about dominance.

I don't know how long you've been around but It's crazy that people are already forgetting Mvp's string of dominance from July to December in 2011.

PartinG should have clearly won the most prize money, also while WCG competition was a joke, its still one of the most prestigious events. (and MKP choked, so its still not like a walkover)

But undoubtable WCS World & Asia and Blizzard Cup had some of the toughest competition in it, so yeah PartinG is pretty much in the run among Leenock, Life and DRG, and DRG only because of his dominance during the first half, but even then he hasnt won that much money like PartinG.

I d say its pretty hard to say, and in the end the one with the most fans would get the most picks, you might even expect HerO to be extremely high up there, lol

Well and Mvp sadly doesnt deserve it, hes just not in the right condition.

This has nothing to do with money, just because BWC had the largest prize pool doesnt mean it has the most meaning going into player of the year. For example winning a GSL>winning BWC, even winning an MLG is harder. But DRG still has the 2nd most money this year and he didnt even play in the 100k tournament.

Plus while DRG hasnt been nearly as good as them in the second half of the year, his second half was better than all of their first halves.

I think winning a GSL is a requirement for being player of the year.

oh and Parting played CombatEX in the quaterfinals of WCG and Adelscott in the finals, they are obviously very good at the game, but they arent even top foreigners.

but he is on the verge of winning a GSL event. More over, GSL event consisting entirely of champions. Same with MLG.
Yea Parting came in late in the year, but his dominance so far eclipses anything we've seen since broodwar.


Definitely not, PartinG is having an insane run at the moment but let's not forget he dropped out early on in GSL S3, S4 and S5, he is no where near dominant. When he wins a MLG, wins GSL, gets to the finals of another GSL, wins a blizzcon at the same time, gets to the ro4 of the next GSL, wins WCG Korea and the GSL team ace invitational on the same day, wins WCG, places 4th at MLG providence from the open bracket and gets to ro4 in the Blizzard Cup we can talk about dominance. When he places top 4 at every single premier tournament he enters within a 5 month span we can talk about dominance.

I don't know how long you've been around but It's crazy that people are already forgetting Mvp's string of dominance from July to December in 2011.

Baby vs Bisu? What?


It's some kind of mini HOTS tournament.


I know, but Baby vs Bisu seems a very weird match to pick.


It is a bit weird, well, Baby is not so weird I guess. He's in Code S now, and this is a GSL event. Bisu is very weird though, not that I'm complaining.

People who mention MVP seem to be missing the point. I am not comparing parting's career to MVP's career. I am comparing Parting's run(as in this particular series of games, starting wiht WCS) to anything we have seen yet. And it is far far more impressive then MVP. From looking at MVP's wiki i don't think he even won 2 tournaments in a row(and Parting in going on 4).

Not to mention who parting is actually beating. He is beating GSL/MLG/OSL/IPL/DH/NASL champions, runner ups and bronze medalists, who are on form, one after another.

I think you missed a lot of what Dodgin said; mid-late 2011 Mvp was far more impressive than parting. Remember, in two of the tournaments PartinG won he faced only one korean. MLG ToC is also a pretty small tournament.

Mentioning WCS and WCG is really silly, because he only played one opponent that can be considered an equal or even close to an equal in both of those tournaments, and that is Creator.

He is doing very well in Blizzard Cup and he did well in MLG's 3 series online tournament, yes, without a doubt. We'll see if it continues. As far as I'm concerned right now Life's GSL win followed by a MLG win a week later is still more impressive that what PartinG has been doing.

But he did, no matter how insanely good he is (and trust me, I know he is - I was campaigning "Parting for Protoss President" for a while before he actually won BWC), drop out of both GSL4 and GSL5. As has been said, unless you've been winning foreign tournaments all year it's tough to call someone the best player in the world for the entire year if said player does not have a GSL championship. If Parting takes this championship, I'll stretch to Best Protoss of the year (by far). But even if he does, I think "Best player of the year" has to go to one of three Zergs.

You clearly weren't watching SC2 in the MVP era. He was winning EVERYTHING. He was winning to the god damn point that people were saying he was in a slump even after winning a GSL. No one was even close to him, he was far and away the best player in the world, period.

If Parting 4-0s with immortal-sentry all-ins, I demand he be given TL player of the year.


Whichever player wins this final is getting my vote as player of the year. Life wins and he has 2 GSL's and a MLG, and if Parting wins he has a GSL, BWC and WCG with the bonus points of winning when everyone in his race is sucking at the moment. Leenock is up there as well, but he really needed that GSL win.

I agree 100%

"He is beating GSL/MLG/OSL/IPL/DH/NASL"

Ok, but its not like all other Code S players arent.
