Merry Christmas you shower of w*kners.
Well it's the moment you've all been waiting for. The Player of the Year 2024. Before I start I would like to thank you all for continuing to ensure that this is the biggest and best Red Alert 1 fansite on the internet and the greatest blog and resource in RA History. I've been doing this for 5 years now and I wouldn't keep doing it if it weren't for the fans! Especially since I'm not really active in playing these days, the pleasure of helping the community is what keeps me going! Special thanks to the player from Chile who has over 1000 unique page views on this blog since 2020! I have no idea who he is but I'm honoured that Blog of Boo is so popular in Chile! Thank you 😊
Before we reveal the winner, some honourable mentions and some reasons they didn't quite make player of the year:
Gganbu - While he is obviously the strongest player in the world in both 2v2 and 1v1, we feel that Gganbu wasn't active enough over the past year to deserve the award. Being the best player doesn't automatically mean you are the MVP - some others had far more impact in 2024.
Dynamic - Obviously a great player and right up there close on Gganbu's coat tails. I've not been able to play much but I have been able to watch some action on Lautatube and Pr1de Twitch and it does seem he loses more than he wins on P4 2v2 for example. If he ups his game on P4 and spends less time driving the 200k Porsche then he might win the title in 2025.
San - Good streamer but doesn't really play 1v1 and there are some others who are still a bit better than he is.
Bea5ty - Too busy making quality pizzas these days so hadn't played as much.
I can now reveal that the results of the poll for PLAYER OF THE YEAR are in. It was a unanimous victory 32-14 in favour of the winner, by UNANIMOUS DECISION...

Well there you have it. The best man won. The people have spoken. The Bear is officially more popular than Diaz. Much like Trump coming back from the political abyss, the Ogre has now triumphed over his mortal enemy. No doubt the Bear will be gagging for a bit of bo9 once his ban is lifted in a few days time. Is this the end of an era for RA? Will Diaz's reign be remembered like Biden's. Hold onto your Salami. Time will tell...
Thanks for reading.
