Nomination for "Player of the Year 2012"

Twaryna, definitely!
Let me explain why. Not just because he's the strongest player and performs wonders (although he plays very well), there's more to consider. Alexander has done much more for the game and its fans than Maretti and other champions. We need to consider the huge number of streams he's made, and not just playing silently, but commenting on everything. I was also impressed by his attitude towards newcomers; he genuinely helps beginners get started and offers advice. I especially remember when he won against a player with a low skill level, and when that player asked Twaryna to suggest how he could have played better, Sasha uploaded the save from the first turn and "live" replayed the situation for him. I'm sure few of you would have done that. Huge respect to Alexander, you're doing great!
