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. Tbf half the players in GSL couldn't even make GSL ro16.  | ||

And Stats won 2 Starleagues, had high finishes in the other ones and bombed out in the group stage of Blizzcon. This proves Blizzcon is the higher level event. /s | ||

Stats was the best in the remaining 8 months, and he deserves the award because of maths (8>3)  Anyway, I love these coming back. | ||

Rogue might have been the best for the last few months of 2017 and Stats for the first few, but I'm pretty sure TL considered the whole year as all 12 months instead of 3 or 8 or whatever. And the best player over all 12 months was neither Rogue nor Stats but Inno. Hence, Inno got the award. | ||

Stats has an argument as the best player in February and March. That's it. | ||

In all seriousness though, not having abyssal reef as best map is reeeeaaallly hard to justify, I'm really not sure where you're coming from there. | ||

very questionable imo. Also, "it's a much larger map than Odyssey or Abyssal" ..no it's not. It's smaller in overall area. Odyssey uses most of it's space and has a total area of 23,712 units. Ascension has dead air space and is still only at 21,120 units. Also, "limited expansion pattern'? What? Abyssal is the first map we've ever seen where we have 3 third base options. Though Terran and Protoss had little/no reason to use the horizontal third, there were many players who utilized (and still use) that base for specific builds and it would show with their playstyles. Having this option also is a subtle nerf to certain cheeses. For example, proxy gating at the bridge inbetween the triangular third and natural would normally shut down any attempt at taking a close-by third for reinforcements, however, taking that horizontal base would actually give you ample time to defend at least one of the bases from the proxy (I've seen ViBe utilize this on stream quite a number of times to great success). Ascension to Aiurs middle is really uninspired, it's a highground pod with lowground chokes surrounding it. Despite being forced to, players aren't very comfortable engaging there, they would prefer to take position in the wildly open area outside of it. That pod also has two xel'naga watch towers that are extremely powerful, as they cover any reasonable attack paths for the two players, which honestly is just lazy design, you should always take those towers past the early game or you're hurting yourself, the information it gives is so vital. Aesthetically the map is just silver and green, it's honestly just really boring to look at unless you decide to take a walk around the border. Sorry but that whole 'best map' section just reads so wrong to me. | ||
