People have their own opinions ofcourse, but I can`t see any reason NOT voting Random as the best player overall this year. What more does he have to prove? He`s simply magnificant in every scheme, and has proven himself as the best player over such a long period of time now. I`ll feel sorry for Random if he doesn`t win that award this year, I really think he deserves it.
**** SPOILER ALERT ****
I put Mablak 1st Random 2nd, simply because Mablak imo is the best Roper, the best at RR, the best at Elite, the best at Intermediate, that's 4 schemes already, Random is without a doubt the best player on the TuS standings, and he continues to impress everyone, without even trying lol, but I still feel Mablaks performance has been better than Random taking into account the amount of time Random spends on WA compared to the very very small amount of time Mablak spends playing.
My final reason to choose Mablak over Random is this, they were both active in 2011, both playing TuS, only difference is Random focused on Classic Singles, Mablak focused on TTRR challenges, Intermediate, Clanners, and in my opinion, if it was done professionally, giving both players 1 month to practise/warmup, Mablak vs Random Bo5 all schemes I feel like Mablak would win, but like you said, everyone has a different perception of skill/talent.
I've been thinking about this, could we like sponsor some sort of huge event where Mablak plays Random, I will personally donate a cash prize, I swear it'd be one hell of a match to watch, each player gets 1 month to train.
Mablak/Random, interested?
