I'm surprised the Bad Pun Brigade hasn't thrown The Finnominal into the ring yet.

Go Serral! GG EZ for Ence. Flashbang dance FTW

Some of these I included in my end of the year montage for The Pylon Show, but I also got interested this year in the Rise of China. Mostly through Team tournaments (throwing them) but then through TIME.

The sheer number of LAN tournaments put on by the Community for their local Community. Bulgaria, Cuba, Costa Rica, Guatemala, India, Vietnam, Japan, Mongolia, Britain, Australia and some library in Ohio. That is just amazing to me.

AI is not new no matter that people's attention focused on AlphaStar's very entertaining laddering. SC2AI, SSCAIT, ESChamp and SCHNAIL all advanced AI work and they made it accessible to average players to try their luck against. The entire country of Finland sent 42 home made bots after Serral, and lost, but Serral was smiling. A few days later a neighboring government (I forget which one) launched an AI initiative of their own.

Player/Casters also seemed to become more of a thing that I was aware of.

Brood War lost Flash but what a way to go. It continued to put out foreign scene content though and the Carbot mod made Brood War, and SC itself, something young people wanted to play.

There are 2 or 3 Collegiate Leagues, the Corporate Esports Association, the Alpha X Junior Championship and even a high school League. We have tournaments for every rank from gold to GM. People are growing the Community one pizza at a time and I love it.

With what title? IEM WC was won by soO. Blizzcon WC was won by Dark. We have more than 2 WC titles?
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

Nonono, this can't be right. I distinctly remember an epic match when the second best player in the world Reynor manage to beat his only rival Serral at Blizzcon.

Huh, remember it much much more being about people being salty specifically with the way Elazer got in (and his great result not changing that opinion), since in general people could see he was pretty clearly around the same level as Scarlett.

Thanks for the content anyway.
