For a long time that was the case because people thought he was boring. I remember back during his reign on dominance he was trying to add in some more stylistic stuff to get more people to like him
Everybody loves an injured champion proving he's still got it, and in a time of Terran tears everyone is rallying behind him even more. I bet when he reveals he's had experimental surgery to become part cyborg (neck and arms) and wins everything in HotS everyone is going to start calling him boring again :p
GSL Tour Team poll is stupid. Lets have a poll about a team, which includes the team of the website you gather the data from? And to top it off, they didn't do anything in the team leagues, and only made the round of 8 (once?) in the whole year?
Team of the Year is easily ST/FXO. ST because of how big some of their players have become in the latter stages of 2012 or FXO for being so good in the Korean leagues.
Other than, i voted for pretty much a clean sweep for mr MVP, he never ceases to amaze me.
I think my favourite game of the year was Ryung vs DRG on whirlwind from GSL season 3. That game was just one of the best examples of how a 50+ minute game can be exciting throughout.
Best series, I voted for MVP Squirtle. Not because of the metropolis game, but because of the tension in that series and the variety of strategies and the high tension scrappy last game.
Also, I don't get why people are complaining about bias... We are asking for your favourite player/team, not electing a president. Do these polls mean so much to people that they need to get upset about them?

TL's GSL results in 2012 are
HerO ro8x1 ro4x1 TaeJa ro8x2 ro4x1
Also, this isn't the only place they are gathering info from, the Korean fans are going to vote so unless they also all love TL It's unlikely they will win.

They were in the Slayers-EG partnership and reached with the finals, JYP was really important for that.
So why SK is not in the poll? MC was in the IM-LG partnership no?
Maybe they are counting it as a personal sponsorship? Dunno but it would be weird to nomiate a team that only has one player.
One is only one less than two. Because only two player from EG participated in GSTL, not enough to be in this poll in my opinion...
EG is a full team, SK (MC) is not a full team, it is basically just like Azubu viOlet, you can't vote a sponsorship for 'best team' when they aren't a team.

Yup. If you look at his fan club posts, he actually got a LOT more this year compare to end of last year when he was 'dominating'.

And that's why his match vs Squirtle is leading the polls . People over rate that god awful Metropolis game where Mvp decided to be a showman for the crowd and lost, causing the series to go to 7 games rather than taking it right there 4-1. Granted, game 7 was good, but it should have never even got that far if he wasn't trying to please the mindless masses.

the series overall was pretty good with a dramatic game 7 (with terrible decisions from Squirtle) but yeah the game 5 was just a snorefest (or a metropolis game as you want to call it)
Mvp vs squirtle. In Game 5 the tension was nerve wrecking, Game 7 was killing me. There's hardly any series I've felt so engaged and tense. It's not about the play, not about how horrible the actions were, it's about being memorably tense.
For the rest: MVP + LG-IM, though that last is more because I don't think TL deserves to win.
