In 2014 Iaguz proved at long last a non zerg can win major tournaments in SEA taking out gold in Arena AvCon and ACL Melbourne he backed it up with some strong performances in minor tournaments include 3x Runner Up for MSi Showdowns, Runner up in the MoK Invitational and a narrow defeat against KingkOng at the City Hunter MSi HotS Launch Event. PiG shone all year long with a Top 3 performance in all 3 ACLs (2x Runner Up, 1x 3rd), a 2nd and 3rd placing in Master's Cup, a MSi Showdown title, 2nd place in Winter Nights Major #1 and 3rd in the MoK Invitational. Most importantly winner of the SEA Championship series 2013. KingkOng the Korean who arrive on our shores in late 2012 and dominated the local scene, his record include 2/3 ACL titles, 5/11 Masters Cup titles (and a runner up), 2/3 City Hunter Titles, Runner Up at the Hong Kong eSports Tournament, and Bronze Medals at SEANA, Arena AvCon and SEA Championship Series. Finally Petraues swept the Auckland Lan scene, won a hat trick of Masters Cups (and a pair of runner ups) and a single MSi Showdown (and 3 Bronze medals to boot!), Runner up at ACL Melbourne and Runner Up at Arena AvCon.
Winner:KingkOng Not a Zerg:iaguz Not a Korean:PiG Not from Australia: Petraeus Best Hair flip:mOOnGLaDe
We've listed the achievements of the Major players in each team already, All these teams a choc full of heros of yesterday, today and tomorrow, however there can only be 1 winner. Only one team had the depth required to enter team leagues all year long, only one team had not one full time dedicated Player consistently winner tournaments but two, for that reason Frenetic Array is award Team of the year!
when you think of the sc2sea only 2 major clans endured what was a a difficult year for Starcraft 2 in our region, these are ToR an mGG. ToR became the cool kids club full of big personalities like Spartaz, Pezz and Petrify and numerous fake members such as HuT, Stallion and Chadmann . mGG was the Gentlemen's club so what reclusive at times but always lingering in the background their members ever present behind the scene, either aiding other in the administration of tournaments or running their own, mGG were the glue that held sc2sea together in 2013.
A difficult category to pick, these 3 players were seldom on the lips of those predicting tournament results, however time and time again they proved their worth with numerous strong performance. The winner however stands hand and shoulders amongst the rest as the most underrated player of 2013: Enderr- for his results in Vengeance Cup and WCG.
These 4 players have all shown at times moments of great potential a glittering hope that the heroes of 2013 and going to have a fight on their hands come late 2014 and heading into the LotV era. For this award I cannot or will not award a single winner, they are all winners of tomorrow and will no doubt prove that themselves in the years to come.
This year saw the retirement of some of the largest personalities of the WoL era, Mafia withdrew to MTG and poker, Light much to the dismay of the community now plays LoL (and more recently poker!), tgun much like the Honey badger doesn't give a f$% and moved onto LoL. Deth's retirement however was easily the best. After withdrawing from the competitive scene he has taken up casting and if the stories are true is so what more active on ladder than he was in the months leading up to his retirement (he even placed Top 8 in ACL Sydney!). For his continual contributions to the scene, I award Deth, Best Retirement 2013
I would very much like to challenge mGG being the best clan, sure mGG are great but ToR is ToR. Fact: Time of Rising in Korean means Very Handsome Boys.
Congrats everyone ^_^ Thxs for all the time and effort doing this
gogo

Perhaps in the future we can have community nominations and votes? I think there could be a few different outcomes if it was up to the community as a whole to decide rather than those who seem to just nominate themselves and own players...

They seem pretty fair to me. Constructively, which ones do you disagree with? I think the people who compiled this did a great job and shouldn't be attacked for their efforts.

They are just a bit of fun, youve had almost 3 weeks to provide feedback, insight and suggestions on this, so dont know why you're getting upset about this?

I don't particularly feel like these threads are ever objective, even with community votes it just becomes a popularity contest. Different people hold different views, most of the time whether you're right or not is subjective.
Where is this insight, feedback and suggestions thread exactly?
I am just saying it would mean more if people actually decided who they think is the top and not just you giving your own player and self awards. As I said in the last thread there were people who didn't even get mentioned who I think personally should have been and I am sure many others feel the same way.
Being a community site it would seem logical to have community nominations and voting rather than just Arnor picks who wins and does silly awards because he wants a pat on the back.

Which awards do you disagree with and why? Is that hard to answer?
