Nomination for "Player of the Year 2013"

He shouldn't torture himself; he should just say what he thinks: "because these Tournaments were played on SoD"
and that’s it.

That's why I called FB the most prestigious online tournament... :)

Without claiming to have the ultimate truth, I will formulate my own criteria for the significance of a tournament (in random order):

1) Status and PR, the prominence of the name.

2) The composition of participants (quality first, quantity also matters, but less).

3) Game version. WoG > SoD.

4) Maps. Mirror > XL+U > everything else.

5) Location. LAN > online.

6) Prize pool.

Accordingly, for 2013 and early 2014, my subjective hierarchy of tournament importance is:

1) CIS-2013
2) FB-7
3) XL
4) Lyubimchiki-5
5-8) Championship of Siberia + Championship of Kyiv + King of the Hill + Jebus Cross
9-12) Diamond Monster + 1st Sneg + OFB-7 + Soda Net (the latter - due to the mess in organization; otherwise it could have been higher)
13) Moscow Championship
14) M-200 No. 7
15-16) Novichok Winter + Novichok Summer

I did not include team tournaments and 2x2s because they are difficult to compare with individual tournaments.
