 Edit: Didn't read the drama award part at first, because well, it's drama. Now that I read it, I have to say I don't like that part at all. | ||

Comparing it to the Quantic incident is just another great way to completely flush it down the toilet. | ||

Thought the yearly review writeups of the previous years better. | ||

 No way Taeja gets top player over Innovation, Soulkey, Dear and Maru. On that note, where's Maru in the 'breakout' category? He went from son of MKP (not the highest honour) to the new Flash in 2013. That's a pretty damn big breakout. | ||

It's an extremely poor way of measuring whether it was deserved. If you're making polls it should have all your options for player of the year and then see who comes out, which is what gosugamers did and TaeJa won that. This stuff about TL and bias is just so fucking dumb though. The simplest way to show this is that TaeJa won player of the year at onGamers and gosugamers. In the end different people have different ways of coming to their own player of the year. Not agreeing with a choice shouldn't lead to claims of bias if there's nothing else to back that up. I'm not even sure if I agree with TaeJa being player of the year, and there's definitely not some power within TL that is telling writers how it has to be. | ||

No one who didn't even qualify for Blizzcon has any business being in any player of the year discussions. | ||

i'm pretty sure i posted some poll a while ago for #1 player and soulkey won that pretty handily, though it obviously has less exposure knowing staff, i believe TL writers are not biased to the TL pro team, and i've never said otherwise, so don't interpret this as anything more than my personal disagreement with taeja as player of the year, i don't know why you've taken my post as so, fyi i voted 'i can understand' | ||

It could be argued Best T award, but BEST PLAYER OF THE YEAR? What a joke, Soulkey was much, much better than him all the year... | ||

I don't think peoples voting behavior is the way you say it is though. Most people believe their choice is the clear #1 and five equal candidates is a measurement across a larger group of people. | ||

That's a pretty damn big breakout.eh maru was pretty decent always, kind of like untapped potential, he was pretty close to making RO8 in his first code S and all-killed startale + had some really memorable games before the OSL. plus anyone that followed the maru fanclub knew that he was #1GM many months prior to his OSL ;p | ||
