It's such a shame to call some guy the best player or the year, when he reached just a semifinal in just one season of the poorest and weakest region of WCS, performed worse then Bomber on the only season finals he reacned and lost his first match on Blizzcon... Fanboys, fanboys everywhere. It was really nice to read the whole staff, but some things are making this write-up to look so stupid =/ I agree that Taeja probably doesn't deserve those awards, but Innovation? He won ONE tournament and lost in the first round at Blizzcon. Maru had the best year of the three. OSL champ, semi finalist in season 3, semi finalist at Blizzcon. Taeja won more because he played for Liquid and got to travel everywhere, and I guess losing in the group stage of the first Hots GSL now let's you be a "Korean player", even though all your achievements came after. Maru earned those rewards not Innovation. | ||

In that period, he never finished outside of top 4 in every single Premier tournament he entered. He also won the triple Crown of team-leagues winning PL, GSTL and ATC | ||

He also won the triple Crown of team-leagues winning PL, GSTL and ATC And being not only the best of his team in all three Team-leagues, but also the #2, #1 and #1 in OVERALL performance. Some people just weight more the NUMBER of tournaments won than the QUALITY of the tournaments a player participated, the overall performance and so on. Also, for those who say TaeJa was the last Terran in the WoL GSL: Bogus was just behind him. Both of them made into Quarterfinals and just one map of difference between them (Bogus 2-3 vs Symbol, finalist of that GSL, while TaeJa 3-2 Soulkey and then 1-4 to RorO, the eventual champion). And in many tournaments both Inno and TaeJa participated and their results weren't that different: top 16 vs 3rd in MLG Winter, 1st vs 2nd on DH Bucharest, 1st vs 4th on DH winter. Oh, and WCS circuit gives INnovation a big edge over TaeJa too. But I guess it's easier to say "5 gold medals, better than Mvp'11!" -.- | ||

I remember that he was favoured against everyone and had a ridiculous TvZ record. His TvT was his only problematic matchup but he could win due to multitasking. He was also one of the only terran at the end of WoL who was making RO8(or was it RO4?) from what I recall. Winning PL, GSTL and ATC also should give him a lot more points imo. I dunno, Taeja being terran of the year still seems pretty bias to me. Also, just read the drama part. The community got blamed for what were broken promises. Disappointing that TL would write something like that but I guess since they had a role to play with EG, it's not hard to see why it was written as such. | ||

You're right, the previous part did have an edgy tone which is what probably pissed other members off(and shifting the blame even if it wasn't serious). | ||

Maru earned those rewards not Innovation. Bomber was a semifinalist in WCS KR season 2, won the season 2 finals (something Maru never did), and was also a semifinalist at Blizzcon. Not trying to say Maru doesn't deserve to be in the conversation, but I don't think Bomber should be ignored | ||
