Sen 2nd best foreigner is OK for me since there weren't any noticeable ones except Snute. Well, maybe Bunny or Scarlett, but not really... Jim best foreign Protoss I got no clue, there aren't any I would definietly choose, so I'm fine with it. No really good foreign Protoss 2014 IMO. Jim's accomplishments are a bit more hidden. In 2014, aside from his run at IEM Shenzhen and winning four major tournaments in China, Jim also made impressive runs in Leifeng Cups, beating Koreans like Center, Supernova, Creator, eMotion, Losira, Cure, Myungsik, Terror, Impact, Ragnarok, Hurricane, Ruin, Seed, Revival Guilty. | ||

I personally would have given it to Habitation Station for its unique layout leading to unique, interesting strategies. Also, with either Habitation Station or still Frost as #1, King Sejong Station would have been a fine runner up, that's quite a good map too, balanced, nice layout with a few unique touches, and pretty much always has solid games played on it. | ||

Sejong was perfectly stable for all races. As was Overgrowth. Habitation Station was tough for Terran, but should at least get a shoutout for having the balls to bring gold bases back. It also provided a lot of fresh games for the scene. Like this gem: + Show Spoiler + edit: actually disregard this. Whirlwind won last year, not Frost derf <_> okay, so this pick does make sense. Still should have a runner-up though. | ||

Oh yeah didn't really check the (lack of Welmu's) minor tournaments. There's enough good Koreans in that list to make me realize my silly Finnish bias. | ||

Like this gem: + Show Spoiler + https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yWV-YYKwTE&index=153 Also, Foxtrot and Merry-go-round both have stats worthy of solid, stable maps like KSS or Overgrowth. | ||

Personally I think Welmu would've had a more bright 2014 if it weren't for his medical condition, and a lot of the players he beat were more high tier like YoDa, RorO, MMA, MC, HyuN, etc, so it was a close call. | ||

Rain blamed the soundproofing and forfeited the series Missing the joke here :\ (I know you're referencing Naniwa, but I don't get the joke ) According to liquipedia, Rain did beat Zest in their PvP in the Proleague finals. So that last should be Zest 0-1 to Rain, right? | ||
