One poll to find the quote and one quote to rule them all... for 2012.
Dear TL StarCraft nerds, as recently announced - it's finally time to vote for the SC2 Quote of the Year 2012. 2012 has been the year of eSports, and this is reflected in some awesome quotes. The nominations are all quotes from 2012 selected by the SC2 Quote of the Day team through a thorough process of internal voting, and when that wasn't enough to decide, internal cannibal holocausts. There had to be a cap, so many good quotes have been left out but you can browse them all from the quote archives. The poll starts today (20th of Dec) and will be closed on Sunday the 23rd of Dec at midnight PST, so make sure you cast your vote by then.
We are also doing a small giveaway to celebrate quote of the year and the 1st SC2 Quote of the Day anniversary (can you believe it!): at the end of the poll, from all the comments on this thread we will pick a lucky one at random to win a t-shirt of choice from our store + stickers, also we'll pick other 3 people at random from the comments and send them a few stickers each
So, without further ado, we are proud to present you with our nominations:
