Well, this time there is no candidate #1. It will be interesting to see how the vote turns out. :)
If speaking for myself, here's a little list:
=Stinger= - in all likelihood, he will be the Player of 2013. Even despite the fact that he plays little in the seasonal cup and doesn't shine with victories, while for newcomers the seasonal cup is usually the benchmark. Just a wonderful player and person.
Maretti - this is Maretti. Overall, I agree with Wicca's wording, but that in no way diminishes his merits. Good, confident, clear play. I wouldn't be surprised if he wins, though his drive has waned a bit this year.
Gomunguls - guilty as charged, I haven't watched his stream or played with him in over a year, but from what I can tell, Vitalya really is a top HeroesWorld player now. Sure, these days almost everyone is "local," but to be fair, back in the inter-portal days, out of the three mentioned, it was Gomunguls who played for us; the others played for their own resources. But even with home-field advantage, I don't particularly believe in Vitalya winning for the second year in a row.
HellLight - hasn't quite managed to solidify his top-tier status yet, but he made a strong entrance this year. :) If he keeps it up, he could easily become Player of 2014. As for 2013 - I'm not sure.
GoD - I'd like to say a word about this guy. Zhenya is something of a dark horse - he posts reports reluctantly, barely participates in forum squabbles, but despite that, he's a very skilled player; just too modest, I suppose. :) I remember that even 2-3 years ago, every game against him was very tough; back then I still underestimated him a bit, but he quickly showed what he's capable of. He has enormous potential, and his victories in Favorites and Jebus Cross came as no surprise to me at all. Although, due to his "low profile," he can hardly compete with the candidates already listed.
twaryna - I remember last year everyone wanted to nominate him for both Rookie of the Year and Player of the Year, primarily because of his charisma and streams. But this year, people have already had a taste of quality broadcasts, and it no longer seems so novel. We'll see if the stream army can secure him the win, though purely my (superficial) opinion is that Sanya relaxed a little toward the end of 2013.
Also, these are worthy of participation here:
Amiloo, even despite his "departure" mid-year
Javdet - a regular :)
KobRa_RR - couldn't leave him out :)
and well, I'd probably also throw in the once-disfavored Juristis - decent progress, seems like a promising guy.

Пусть мой враг будет силен и страшен. Если я поборю его, то не буду чувствовать стыда.
