With days until the end of 2008, the time has come for various rundowns that sum up the year somehow. Over on SK Gamng's site Poland Carmac has picked out nine players: three that will want to forget 2008 ever happened, three that have succeeded and three that will have mixed feelings about the last 12 months.

The list of players that would want to forget about 2008 is particularly interesting because no one would have predicted that the year would turn out sour for them. Mandatory snippet:
It would be simpler to weigh all of Russia Cooller's trophies than to count them. This is the shortest possible way to sum up the Russian's career, although mentioning two ESWC championships, a silver and a bronze would do him justice as well. And if this man's best in all of 2008 was a fifth place, including domestic tourneys, then there is no other way than to label the year as one to forget.
The article also offers a selection of video interviews with Quake 3 stars and the demos of the best matches in 2008. SK's roundup can be found here.
