Dont worry , once 15 Toss + Maru advance to the ro16 , and Maru beats them to the ground and wins the whole thing.....he is already set for not just player of year (2014) , but player of the century if that ever to exist.

EDIT : Great List ! I enjoyed the read , thank you TL writers !

meh , is cool when @ zerg you put soulkey wich is the BEST yet @ terrans you put taeja instead of innovation or bomber.

From a year overall perspective Innovation and Bomber aren't even close with Taeja regarding consistency, let alone championship titles, yes being WCS Season Finals champions is a great feat but winning a whopping five premier tournaments across over half a year against same caliber of players is hands down a bigger achievement.

Yes he won a lot of stuff, but you have to look at the competition there too...
Homestory cup 7 wasn't really that impressive and at Asus he really didn't have strong opponents either..
He didn't really make any impact in the WCS events, i feel this time he really got a TL bonus (even though he is an amazing player)


I just don't see who is better. If you combined Innovation's March-August with Dear's September-December you'd get a better player, but no one really had a consistent 2013 at all.


Same with Taeja. He only qualified for the WCS Season finals one time (out of 3). That's not exactly consistency either


If you only look at WCS, Soulkey is probably player of the year, but no one really had consistent results in WCS. If you look at all premier tournaments, Taeja has the best results.


Jaedong was ridiculously consistent in WCS. The maximum tournaments you could be in was 7 (3 Regional tournaments, 3 Season Finals, 1 Grand Final) and he made Top 3 in four of them.

But I mostly agree with Taeja. Even if you treat HomeStory Cup as a "lesser" tournament, 5 wins is still 5 wins.
Average means I'm better than half of you.

Agreed. That's my only complaint with this list.

Lol at Taeja being the player of the year. The guy didn't make the finals of a single WCS event.

Also, the broken promises bit was just stupid. If you do a kickstarter for a documentary and collect tens of thousands of dollars, you are expected to come out with a product that is worth that value, and you need to give a reason if the project is delayed. Also, people didn't get mad when Quantic got scammed? I don't think the writer is being objective there...


Broken promises should have mentioned what the broken promises were instead of only being about community reaction. Taeja pick is fine though, no one was really consistent enough to be more deserving. WCS Korea and WCS Finals, the two hardest tournaments, had 5 different winners, and the only multiple winner, Dear, was only good the last few months of the year. So Taeja gets it for consistency outside WCS despite poor results in WCS itself.

unfortunately Broken Promises promised to do a series on "the pizza.gg fiasco, the ROOT Gaming house, eSportsU, the Sons of Starcraft documentary", yet after more than 3 months only two of those subjects have been written on, so it's difficult to do a critique of the full series

Nice read. I pretty much agree with everything.
Map of the year pretty much had to be Whirlwind imo, so I was glad to see that.
Taeja is who I would pick for player of the year.

Great job guys, great read. 2013 may have been a slightly rocky year for starcraft but we got some of the best moments ever out of it as well. 2014 is already off to a good start, lets keep it that way.

Your joke kind of misses the mark since Richard Lewis didn't ask the community for money to make that series so the irony you implied doesn't exist.

Also the article said the community wasn't upset about Hyun not getting paid, but the community paid Hyun around $7000 of the $23000 he was owed.

Nice writeup though not a fan of the bias. Player of the year should've gone to a WCS Korea/World winner or at least runner up (Dear/JD/sOs/Soulkey). For getting a free ride through WCS AM Taeja really didn't do well enough at season finals to warrant being called #1.
