Why is this even a contest? Its completely objective

Best Player:Jaedong-Flash won nothing this year, Bisu won 1 SL this year(they count fall season as part of the 09 year, so this current season does not count)
Best Z- JD
Best P-Bisu
Best T- Fantasy- best performance in SLs this year + clutch in PL grandfinals
Best Coach- SKT coach by miles
Best Map- Subjective choice between Andro and Desti
Best Rookie- how the fuck is effort a rookie? Did they just put him in the award in order for him to win something

How can Flash be considered best player when he hasn't won any Kespa sanctioned events AND Jaedong has won 2 OSLs and the golden mouse?

Why SKT coach? Just because their team won last PL? :-\. I think CJ's coach should definitely be in contention. Effort, Movie, and SkyHigh all were nurtured recently by CJ coaching staff. SKT on other hand has Fantasy/BeSt and neither is performing that well in PL. It's not 100% CJ > SKT coach, but I think it's definitely up for debate. Not just SKT1 autovote.

Here's my vote:
Best map: None. lol I hate all these maps. Desti is such a turtle map. Sure wish Outsider was an option, coz that map is loads better.
Best Rookie: Effort
Best Coach: CJ
Best Protoss: Bisu (Sad. But he deserves it. Better results than Stork for 2009.)
Best Terran: Flash hands down.
Best Zerg: JD hands down.
Best Player: JD hands down.

how the fuck are people considering Flash the best terran over fantasy?

Remember this season does not count

My favorites.
Best Map: Destination (That map is so balanced and always makes for interesting games)
Best Rookie: Bogus - He is the only rookie on that list, and he is quite amazing as well.
Best Coach: No idea.
Best P: Stork (bisu, I'm very happy for you and imma let you finish, but this is easiest answer of all time)
Best T: Flash/Fantasy, can't decide.
Best Z: Jaedong, but I like Zero better. :S
Best Player: Bisu, Stork, Flash, Fantasy and Jaedong all deserve to win, but Jaedong is gonna take it.

If Fantasy wins ''Best Terran'' something is seriously wrong.
I believe in the almighty Grötslev! -- I am never serious and you should never believe a thing I say. Including the previous sentence.

Did people just forget how comparatively mediocre Stork was doing in the first half of the year?

If this were the last 3 months, Stork would probably be the correct answer to this. As it stands, Bisu has performed far better in 2009 as a whole than Stork. Up until about a month ago, no one would even have considered Stork for this spot.
