From a year overall perspective Innovation and Bomber aren't even close with Taeja regarding consistency, let alone championship titles, yes being WCS Season Finals champions is a great feat but winning a whopping five premier tournaments across over half a year against same caliber of players is hands down a bigger achievement. Yes he won a lot of stuff, but you have to look at the competition there too... Homestory cup 7 wasn't really that impressive and at Asus he really didn't have strong opponents either.. He didn't really make any impact in the WCS events, i feel this time he really got a TL bonus (even though he is an amazing player) I just don't see who is better. If you combined Innovation's March-August with Dear's September-December you'd get a better player, but no one really had a consistent 2013 at all. Same with Taeja. He only qualified for the WCS Season finals one time (out of 3). That's not exactly consistency either If you only look at WCS, Soulkey is probably player of the year, but no one really had consistent results in WCS. If you look at all premier tournaments, Taeja has the best results. Jaedong was ridiculously consistent in WCS. The maximum tournaments you could be in was 7 (3 Regional tournaments, 3 Season Finals, 1 Grand Final) and he made Top 3 in four of them. But I mostly agree with Taeja. Even if you treat HomeStory Cup as a "lesser" tournament, 5 wins is still 5 wins. | ||

Agreed. That's my only complaint with this list. | ||

Also, the broken promises bit was just stupid. If you do a kickstarter for a documentary and collect tens of thousands of dollars, you are expected to come out with a product that is worth that value, and you need to give a reason if the project is delayed. Also, people didn't get mad when Quantic got scammed? I don't think the writer is being objective there... Broken promises should have mentioned what the broken promises were instead of only being about community reaction. Taeja pick is fine though, no one was really consistent enough to be more deserving. WCS Korea and WCS Finals, the two hardest tournaments, had 5 different winners, and the only multiple winner, Dear, was only good the last few months of the year. So Taeja gets it for consistency outside WCS despite poor results in WCS itself. unfortunately Broken Promises promised to do a series on "the pizza.gg fiasco, the ROOT Gaming house, eSportsU, the Sons of Starcraft documentary", yet after more than 3 months only two of those subjects have been written on, so it's difficult to do a critique of the full series | ||

Map of the year pretty much had to be Whirlwind imo, so I was glad to see that. Taeja is who I would pick for player of the year. | ||

Also the article said the community wasn't upset about Hyun not getting paid, but the community paid Hyun around $7000 of the $23000 he was owed. | ||
