What a great read !

I just disagree with the runner up of the player of the year, 2 Starleagues > 3 weekender (and Blizzcon is not a great indicator since Elazer and Major went in semis, can't see that happen or SSL)

But very awesome read, you TL people rocks

That would have been my vote too but you have to know TL writers will ever admit that a foreigner could do anything that would make a korean look bad.

This is a really silly statement after SpeCial humiliated Stats/TY

I found that super long extra game quite silly and boring

Best games, imo, were one of TY vs Stats at IEM final with crazy late game, one of the INno vs Dark in GSL semi final with crazy trade base, the game on Abyssal Reef (definitly best map this season) between TY and INno in GSLvs The World (INno vs aLive also in IEM but since INno lost i'm salty about it), the Stats vs Dark (which won) etc all of them were way better than Neeb vs Rogue.

PLAYER OF THE YEAR:
WCS KOREA

INnoVation

Runner-up: Rogue

An atrocity. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.


Recency bias.

Rogue was the best player of the last 3 months perhaps, but the rest of the year in Korea was very clearly Innovation's.

At no point this year was he not the odds on favorite to win basically any tournament he was in, and when he was winning he was doing in dominating fashion.

Rogue had a stellar year no doubt, but Innovation's was still better.

EDIT: Eh, guess I've missed a lot during the middle of the year. Still disagree with many choices here (I feel like I knew going in Rogue and soO would get minimal actual awards) but not so viscerally

Can we get a "Biggest 'OOPS!' of the Year" for 2018? That's about the only thing missing for me. + Show Spoiler +
..besides Arch of Janus not being the best map of the year.


Well done, and thanks everyone for a pret-ty good year of StarCraft. <3

My picks for favorite games would be sOs vs Inno game 5 and, I know this is a weird one, Cure vs Dark game 1 from season 1 .

Abyssal > Ascension. I mean I like both and Abyssal is getting a bit old but itl was THE map of 2017.

Maybe Stats over Rogue as Runner-up for the best player but both choices seem reasonable (and I'm biased).

Might go with Dark over alive as the most entertaining player, he had many great series (losing a lot of those, a bit like classic last year).

To say that Blizzcon is an inferior tournament to GSL is retarded. There is only one world champion, there are 3 GSL champions.

If GSL is so superior the gold standard so to speak then a GSL champ should have won Blizzon. None of them did.



Wtf kind of comment is this? The fact that Rogue won blizzcon and has never got past GSL ro8 is evidence that GSL is the higher level event....

By any objective measure, other than prize money, GSL is better. More competition, more prep time between matches, bo7 for semis, no issues with jetlag, players qualify based on current form instead of results from tournaments 6 months ago etc

Like I said in the other comment, half the players at blizzcon couldn't even make GSL ro16. That alone makes it a weaker competition.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs
