I am a bit surprised aswell that King Sejong Station and Overgrowth weren't at least mentioned. I think those two maps are some of the best maps in sc2 history.

"okay"

Taeja had the best results of terrans in 2014 imo, so yeah even tho I don't like him it's OK for him to be #1.

Life should be runner up I agree.

Sen 2nd best foreigner is OK for me since there weren't any noticeable ones except Snute. Well, maybe Bunny or Scarlett, but not really...

Jim best foreign Protoss I got no clue, there aren't any I would definietly choose, so I'm fine with it. No really good foreign Protoss 2014 IMO.

Jim's accomplishments are a bit more hidden. In 2014, aside from his run at IEM Shenzhen and winning four major tournaments in China, Jim also made impressive runs in Leifeng Cups, beating Koreans like Center, Supernova, Creator, eMotion, Losira, Cure, Myungsik, Terror, Impact, Ragnarok, Hurricane, Ruin, Seed, Revival Guilty.

Wow that Best Map section is bitter as fuck. Frost was a fine map but it seriously was not that amazing. Did the writer just forget that Blink PvT was just as bullshit on that map as Yeonsu or Heavy Rain? It only looked good because most of the other maps were even worse and people got sick of blink maps, and are now sick of small drop-heavy maps.

I personally would have given it to Habitation Station for its unique layout leading to unique, interesting strategies. Also, with either Habitation Station or still Frost as #1, King Sejong Station would have been a fine runner up, that's quite a good map too, balanced, nice layout with a few unique touches, and pretty much always has solid games played on it.

And yeah the map thing really did seem kinda overkill. I'm really surprised it wasn't Overgrowth with how that was in basically every series for so much of the year.

I mean, I think Frost is competing with Whirlwind for best map we've had yet.

But it already won last year. Maybe if we had a profoundly bad new generation of maps I could see it.

Sejong was perfectly stable for all races. As was Overgrowth.

Habitation Station was tough for Terran, but should at least get a shoutout for having the balls to bring gold bases back. It also provided a lot of fresh games for the scene. Like this gem:

edit: actually disregard this. Whirlwind won last year, not Frost derf <_>

okay, so this pick does make sense. Still should have a runner-up though.

Oh yeah didn't really check the (lack of Welmu's) minor tournaments. There's enough good Koreans in that list to make me realize my silly Finnish bias.

Also, Foxtrot and Merry-go-round both have stats worthy of solid, stable maps like KSS or Overgrowth.

Personally I think Welmu would've had a more bright 2014 if it weren't for his medical condition, and a lot of the players he beat were more high tier like YoDa, RorO, MMA, MC, HyuN, etc, so it was a close call.

According to liquipedia, Rain did beat Zest in their PvP in the Proleague finals. So that last should be Zest 0-1 to Rain, right?

She used it in some qualifier too and got a map taken off her. Taeja has never lost with Protoss. GG

I disagree with certain parts, highly agree with others, as is to be expected. Entire article was very well-written and designed, and I enjoyed the experience of naming my winner before clicking yours, then reading your reasoning.
