We're all trying to forget Stats after those games at Blizzcon.

Stopped reading when Gumiho did not win breakout player of the year, not even nominated lmao.


Under what conditions would you consider Gumiho a better pick than rouge for breakout player?

Winning 3 premier tournaments makes you a contender for player of the year. That includes Neeb and the welfare, region locked tournaments.

I'd personally rank player of the year: INnoVation > Stats > Rogue > Neeb > TY

Can Major stop changing his name every year and finally accept to be called Major already.

Huh, I actually agree with all the awards this year. "Most Entertaining Player" is always going to be pretty subjective and hard to quantify, but I'm not sure who I personally would pick, probably Rogue but idk.

2 starleagues > 3 weekenders
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

I'd agree if it were 3 Kespa Cup-like weekenders but Blizzcon is at least on par with a Starleague.

Most entertaining player for me would be clearly Gumiho with herO as runner-up.

Also surprised Ascension is map of the year, I never heard much praise for the map.
Most people seemed to think it's a bland macro-map which heavily favors Zerg. I thought Abyssal has this award in the bag.

Rogue vs TY code S S2 was the game of the year ...

Or Maru vs TY gyeonggi qualifier

And TY player of the year, 3 global events : Katowice, GSL vs World, BLizzcon = Champion, runner up, ro4. + WeSG.

Cheers!

Although I still think Abyssal is the better map, Ascension has surprised me with how much people love the map. One of my favorite things on Ascension is when one player takes control of the middle of the map. I recall Zest doing it with shield batteries and carriers at HSC, We see Gumiho do it all the time when he mechs on the map, etc etc etc.

Abyssal will always be my pride and joy but I"m glad Ascension got a ton of love as well. =)

Game of the year is a tough one, there were many good games but none which was on the level of Inno vs TaeJa, Life vs Dream etc.
My pick would probably be Inno vs TY

Blizzcon is better than other weekenders, but not starleague level.

Half of the players at blizzcon can't even make GSL ro16, and many qualified from tournaments months before instead of being in form at the time. And then there's having less prep time between matches, having bo5 for semis etc. It's just not the same as GSL
