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.
I posted the framework of this in the staff hideout on the 4th of January, I asked for peoples thoughts, a wide range of people have access to that forum, including yourself. There are two types of awards industry awards like the Oscars and popular vote awards like the Logies. These awards are traditionally the former, if you prefer the later you are welcome to do your own.

1. Player of the Year
2. Best "Pro" Team
3. Clan I agree with but there is only 2 nominated?
4. Underrated player? This had 0 thought put into it, a year ago Petraeus was "underrated" this just seems to be since WCS which wasn't even last year?
5. Rookie of the Year - While I agree NXZ is great and had a break out performance so did many others who were not even mentioned - this is misleading, perhaps "break out performance of 2013" would be a more just title.
6. Breakthrough performance...why were these players nominated? No info etc.
This isn't even touching on the other part of the "awards" and is MY OPINION before you get all wounded and have a shitfit
how come its only a select few that get to have their vote, i think that's the main "issue" or opinion here. As they are supposedly community awards I see no reason why it shouldn't be a community vote

Realistically because you don't take it on board anyway? I recall posting this exact same "feedback" in the last thread..
This is a community site. Not the Oscars or the Logies. COMMUNITY. You ask for donations from people, them to volunteer their time to run events and produce content for you and that's fine..... but their opinion?
Voting and feedback were open to all staff, mvp's, writers, etc, so don't go hating Arnor for taking the initiative on making and posting these awards. They have no formal meaning or reward, just are a bit of fun, and of course opinion based.
You could probably add one or two more names to each category, but results sort of speak for themselves in terms of the top players. Change the order around, doesn't make much difference.
Winning games of starcraft is what counts!
Well done everyone on a good 2013, 2014 is shaping up to be a lot bigger and better!

Agreed.
Since the same discussion is had every year about how THESE ARE JUST DONE FOR FUN. Would be great if we could have 1 time where some one doesnt have a hissy fit about it.
Personally I like the way its done with out the community votes, rather having the staff/mvps/ect of sc2sea discussing then choosing...... keeps more suspense to see who got it
Congrats to those who got (these meaningless) awards and lets all look foward to what we can do in 2014!

I'm fine with the way these awards were done but I disagree with people saying they're meaningless.
I can't comprehend how they could be at all meaningless it doesn't even make any sense. They're fun and maybe aren't the be all end all, but they definitely carry meaning.
I reckon that Billy (FluX) deserves an award. "Most Sensual 2013", he is also strongly favoured for 2014 at that .
Congrats to all of the winners, 2013 has been a rather saddening year with the amount of retirements. In the face of this though, we've had so many new individuals break through, who have already begun to cement themselves as top flight players.
