I guess Gosugamers and onGamers are massively TL biased as well then. i still demand a feature when hero wins every award, like #1 best player to broodlord infestor against in WoL ;p | ||

They don't even really try to in the article, saying "he wasn't as consistent as Soulkey" but never giving a good reason why Taeja would be #1 instead of him. ongamers and other sites gave the reason as Taeja won the most tournaments. | ||

So there is definitely a strong reason to pick Taeja as best player of the year, even though I personally would have gone with one of the GSL winners too, just because I value that title so highly. I don't see any TL bias here, don't be unfair guys just because your favorite maybe was deserving as well! | ||

Winning isn't everything, else some zotac cup (or whatever weekly tournament) winners would be player of the year now  | ||

His OSL was in August 2013  But that might be your intent anyway. | ||

i'm more irritated by the fact they gave nobody the international terran award. it's fine to say terrans outside of Korea didn't really do all that well in 2013, but giving nobody this award makes it sound like TL is just disregarding every single good international terran player that tried their best all year long. it's needlessly disrespectful, just give Happy his award. he was consistent throughout the entire year, had some decent finishes, beat several strong Koreans and showed some very strong play. and the drama stuff is stupid but they have something weird like that every year. | ||
