Nomination for "Player of the Year 2012"

Twaryna, definitely!
I'll explain why. Not because he's the strongest player and performs miracles (although he plays very well), there's more to consider than that. 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 really helps beginners get started and gives them advice. I especially remember the moment when he won against a player with a weak skill level, and when that player asked Twaryna to suggest how he could have played better, Sasha loaded the save from the first turn and "live" replayed the situation for him. I'm sure few of you would do that. Huge respect to Alexander, you're great!
