Nomination for "Player of the Year 2013"

It's harder to win the same XL Tournaments than to win against Favorites or Jebus.

And if I say the opposite, how will you prove it?

It's not about the quantity, but the quality.

So, if we take, for example, the Favorites tournament that God won,
then Preds, Cobra, Maretti, Alonne, and Javdet (who also defeated strong players) – is that not high-quality content? Is that what you mean?

And also in the prestige of the tournament.

So, what makes this tournament not prestigious for you?

The only tournament comparable in prestige is FB.

Listen, is that the same tournament that he won twice?

In the blue corner of the ring - Gomunguls, just Gomunguls.

Is that him?

The motivation of the players to win. You shouldn't compare online tournaments with CIS tournaments here.

And how is CIS better? What's the motivation? To come and play 1-2 games and, if you lose, go drink/play poker? Very cool. Or play with hangover the next day. Very motivating. Especially for those who don't drink. But in online tournaments, there's no motivation at all, right? You come, see each other in person – and then what? Do you all suddenly play 10 times better just because you came?

It's only better in one thing – you can see everyone clearly, and no one will cheat so obviously. That's what's better. But I highly doubt that God cheated in his games, or that Gomunguls or Maretti cheat. I thought you'd at least bring up mirror matches.

the rest form a more or less homogeneous mass of good online tournaments.

That's definitely facepalm-worthy.
