Winning 3 out of the 9 tournaments I entered this year was an improvement I guess. Better than the 0% in the past. Will be 100% next year.

What did reach your heart? When I took in a street cat and she had kittens on my sofa 8 months later.
What did upset you the most? That I didn't reach PR 31 as planned.
What was the best game you have seen or the best cast? Winning a 3v3 on Deccan after having lost my TC at 7 minutes.

In any case, the return of Challeboi.

The best game is probably World of Warcraft and the best cast has to be the cast of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

What was for you the most important thing for the community in the year 2018? I would say all the improvments made by @Development Team to the esoc patch

What did reach your heart? kynesie making lordraphael uninstall was definitly a moment I enjoyed a lot
What did upset you the most? Loosing to the best seed rule in the automn championship, H2O leaving the community
What was the best game you have seen or the best cast? There isn't one game that comes to my mind now, maybe snowww vs kynesie final ?

I'm not sure, but I think the year 2018 has been the most active when it comes to tournaments and casting of tournament games. That is pretty impressive for a "dead" game ;)
We have seen lots of new casters appear, and old ones coming back (welcome back @Interjection and @Mitoe)

The most exciting and fun games for me this year, where the 2 games @EAGLEMUT played with Sioux in Autumn tournament, where he just would not give in, but kept on making OP Wakinas and tons of small teepees.

I also enjoyed Kynesies games, tbh. Even though I do not like tons of walling, he still brings something refreshing and "new" aspects on how the game can be played.

Snowww won the grand tournament this year. He has been a good player for years and played in the late games lots of time. This year was his year, congrats [mention]u7128[/mention] for a well-played tournament and a deserving win ;)


What I dislike the most? well, the chat has been full of some Nazi and racist ppl. spawning their hate across most of the streams. Not sure how to deal with it, cos it seems that some persons have multiple accounts.
Problem with being a mod, is that when you ban them, it seems they have multiple accounts. I have reported one of them to Twitch, and that is maybe more effective?

I have said this many times, but will repeat it once more; I'm sorry for all the trolling and tons of meaningless posts that only have the purpose of derailing threads.
So my conclusion for 2018: Its been a super year when it comes to tournaments and casting, but great improvements could be done to the Forum content and meaningfulness (imo). We all have improvement potentials here :)

1. The fact, that the bracket stage of the autumn tourny had no delays and went very smoothly (applauding botht the staff and the players for that)
The enourmous amount of donations during the finals.
2. Basement Telethon & the effort put in all the tournaments
3. The fact that I couldn't watch some series because they were casted/streamed in quality that was unnecessarily high
4. Best series has to be Snowww vs Kynesie, as far as individual games go, I don't quite remember but there was one quarter/semi final game that kept swinging back and forth with each player continously throwing their respective advantages away
