Wow, what an unexpected but great read. Lots of cool memories, thank you. Fair and fine conclusions overall.

Another honorable mention for a development characterizing this season is perhaps due for the transformation of the Serral vs. Maru matchup from a highly anticipated premiere fight into a dreaded one-sided affair. Just one year ago at Kato'24, the Serral vs. Maru finals was still hype, especially as it took place at the height of the GoaT debate. Oh, and all the salty threads mushrooming on TL in the aftermath of that finals. Sweet memories.
Mutation complete.

Great writeup, hopefully your choice of Serral isn’t as controversial as Miz’s choice for GOAT!

Granted it shouldn’t really, that match win rate is absolutely bonkers

Many apologies to Oliveira for not doing an EPT 2022/23 awards, for which he would have won everything. (EVERYTHING)


Need to make an Oliveira appreciation thread (another one) just to atone for this grave sin.

Thus, Clem vs Reynor wasn't just the top rivalry of this past season, but it stands up there with some of the best rivalries of all time.


What is this? IT IS REYNOR WITH A STEEL CHAIR!

Anyway, great summary of an amazing "year" of Starcraft. Weirdly, even though it was so long, it never felt too stretched out thanks to WTL. Really the bread&butter of SC2 in 2023/24. Also "shoutout" to the EWC Foundation who was the entire reason we even got such a long season, because they couldn't get their World Cup in order fast enough...which is happening again, even outside of SC2.

I don't remember the last time I saw a year of pro sc2 where one player had every mistake picked apart and highlighted so much. herO is an incredible talent and he received 0 benefit of the doubt in one of the worst ever years of P performance. It hurts to see but the real fans know he's on their level.

Great read. If this was the last big year for SC2, it was a good one.

Great article, not only did Clem win this award for best terran, he was also listed #1 French esport player in L'Equipe magazine, ahead of other prominent figures such as ZyWoo (Counter Strike player)

Serral as overall #1 is the best choice too imho

That was a great read. In the good years of SC2 this thread would easily rack up 20 pages of comments...
