There isn't a clear favorite.
In 2018, the finals of 5 major tournaments were played:
CIS 2018 (final: Reddi - Dave)
FB-11 (final: Lucky - Dave)
Khota-Zerkala-2 (final: Dave - ATG)
Only-HL-5 (final: Sanyok - DeLuxe)
Lyubimchiki-10 (final: Dave - Bishop)
It's a mystery how one can definitively say that Zhenya is the obvious choice, even while acknowledging his top-tier skill.
The discovery of the year is undoubtedly Sanyok, who showed unique progress and also proved himself as a team player.
In my opinion, considering the overall results, Dave is the player of the year.
Many will vote with their hearts, of course,
but if it weren't for that unique player with his magical shovel, Dave would have won this nomination by a landslide.
So, because Reddi "dug up" Dave in the CIS final, a tournament that Zhenya unfortunately couldn't attend, is Zhenya obviously the best?
At the very least, it's not obvious.
