you missed it. 2011-2012 were great times. 2013 was okay for the first half.

2013, right after the KeSPA switch, was the peak of SC2, imo.

Really wish Life could play sc2 again. There aren't really any amazing zergs too root for besides soo, dark, snute, tlo & soo. These are probably the best 5 zergs that you root for but then when you think about Life...he tops them all. He was 18, he was stupid. Forget the match scandel, he paid his crime.

Life...we want him back!


A part of me does want to see his playstyle again. But then reallistically speaking he wouldn't necessarily be as successful/entertaining in LOTV compared to HOTS. The debate whether he should have been punished so hard is a different question.


Nah. People who were great in HotS are just as good in LotV. But even if he will be let to play sc2 again, he was outside of the community for far too long. I'm not sure if he will be ever able to deliver that performance he used to.
Why so serious?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who really enjoyed 2014. There were some really awesome games that year. Sure it had its share of boring swarmhost turtle games but it also had some innovative play to try to figure stuff out - Not to mention Flash finally got his win at IEM Toronto which was great

I think 2015 was the peak of the pro scene with 3 seasons of SSL, 3 seasons of GSL, Proleague and multiple Kespa Cups.
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

2011 >>> 2013 > 2014 > 2012 > 2015 > 2017 (not done, but still...) >>>> 2016

for me

2011 and 2013 were the best for similar reasons, absurd amounts of content and a chaotic hierarchy of players that yielded many surprising upsets. The game was at its most entertaining in those two years as well imo. As good as 2013 was, 2011 WoL TvZ and TvT cannot be touched.

Absolutely. People always hone in on the negatives too much. 2014 had at least 3 of the greatest sc2 tournaments I've ever seen in IEM Cologne, IEM Katowice, and maybe even the greatest of them all in the 2014 Blizzcon which was just amazing.

I also consider 2014 to be the first real season of proleague where everyone was firmly rooted with no expansion/game transitions to screw things up.
