[Cute]

Introduction by nirvAnA:

"Thank you to Cute for putting this together. The magazine idea, coding and implementation was all him. He wanted to expand the SC2SEA yearly awards into a comprehensive write up of the year that everyone could enjoy and has done a marvellous job! Hopefully this will become a yearly thing.

Be sure to follow Cute at @jasekenobi

A big thank you to everyone in our community - from the new dedicated volunteers who have put in so much time and effort to develop the scene into what it is today and to our members for without you there is no scene. We have seen a lot of exciting developments this year from Tastosis casting WCS Oceania, to the IEM Globals being held Singapore and explosion of Barcrafts around the region. Every year our community and scene continues to grow and we hope the next year will be no different. With HoTS just round the corner, the scene looks set to be flooded with fresh new blood for this much awaited expansion. And when these new players come, make sure you spread the word so they have a home here on SC2SEA. Save their souls from the ruined and frustrated battle.net forums please. Our SEA server will be bustling with life once again!

We hope you enjoy what our writing team has put together recapping the year 2012. Happy holidays everyone and see you all in 2013! "

SC2SEA 2012 Power Ranks
(Power Rank Discussion here)

It's that time of year again! It's been a big one. So much has happened in our little corner of the world,
we couldn't hope to possibly cover it all. But we gave it a shot! (Not IE friendly!)

Design / Coding: Cute

We know this can be subjective so for now its based on the aggregated ranking of the top 5 Code S players.
We're working on setting up an objective scoring system for next year based solely on results.

Awesome work mate, really good job!

[nGenLight]

Awesome design, brilliant effort, and fantastic content

Not a big fan of the writing...

1.
I challenge anyone to write an article about me without focusing on puns. Or at least be original -_-

2.

Light shows less skilled players...ready for this? The 'Light'(geddit?) by trying to help them with builds and tactics (Which apparently aren't working particularly well).

Why is this necessary?

Added part 1 of the SC2SEA awards

[AxSGRiM]

Looks great! Awesome job cute, and awesome awards this year too ^^

[Dox]

That power rankings pic is beautiful!

[Pandan]

The Power Rankings this in this post is fantastic.

The website however, is awful
There is some fantastic content in there, but basic design errors like layout of the articles word/images and making all words bold are glaring to me. Coupled with inconsistent viewing experiences in the 4 browsers I tried - it's upsetting that such rich content is devalued.

Again, the power rankings thing in this post is fantastic - just a shame that level of quality wasn't brought through to the rest of the 'magazine'.

I wouldn't say awful, but there is some difficulty to navigate properly

Hey at least people pronounce your shit properly the first time, every time.
