Close but no cigar (in no order): INnoVation, ByuN, Clem

I prioritized IEM Katowice pretty heavily because of the ridiculous prize money discrepancy with other tournament. Prize money isn't a perfect measure of tournament importance, but it's the best one we've got IMO. I also rated second place finishes pretty highly (2 silver > 1 gold; dunno the EXACT ratio, but I find the EPT point distribution in tournaments to be pretty good), prolly much higher than is 'usual' for fans.

Pretty boring to give #1 to the BlizzCon/IEM winner every year, but I don't see how to get around it.

I´m fine with Wax´ list, too, though i would rate

8: Byun
9: Dark
10: Zest, Clem

I don´t understand why so much guys here do rate Maru over Serral (and Reynor)? I´m fine with TY and Rogue being the top duo, but why exactly rate Maru on 3rd place? In KoB he barely made it out of the group and then TvTed his way to win it, beating Clem, Inno and Cure, no one of those is considered to be a top Tier player this year. Then he won GSL ST1 and got 2nd place in GSL S3, which were both strong runs, besides that he had mixed results. I think Serral can bring better results to the board and won the head to head (two times). So that´s why i think Wax´ list is quite good, putting Serral and Reynor over Maru.

My own list. I might try a later list using aligulac / prize money won and/or EPT points etc data.

1. TY -> 2 GSL wins, 1 top 4. Only Maru did better on LotV. His online results were a bit lackluster but he still had an insane year.
2. Rogue -> IEM win, pretty big. Decent results outside of that as well.
3. Serral -> most prize money won among foreigners, solid year even though he had some troubles domestically.
4. Maru -> GSL ST win, GSL finals, KoB win and decent results overall is a solid year. Won a bit more prize money than Reynor so he gets the spot no contest.
5. Reynor -> a solid win in international DH Masters, did very well domestically overall, good year for him. 2nd in prize money among foreigners.
6. Trap -> he had good results in DH international and overall in every tournament, he is the Protoss that performed the best.
7. Stats -> weirdly more inconsistent than Trap but still a good year for him.
8. Clem -> finally got his breakout year, beat Serral and Reynor multiple times. He showed promising things against Korean but still a bit disappointing considering the level it takes to beat Serral and Reynor. 3rd in prize money among foreigners.
9. Dark -> disappointing year overall for the BlizzCon winner, but he managed to get better results and the TSL6 win at the end.
10. ByuN -> what a comeback lmao, only played the later part of the year and still managed to get a tournament win few months after military service.
Close: INno, Cure, Zest.
