Two days ago I actually re-watched that out standing series. For the first time since the TSL2. It still gives me nerd chills
Nony is a total boss. I have no doubt that he's gunna bring it this weekend.

until now i still dont understand the fact why JF didnt get invited to TSL3? Its true that when the game came out he has been really busy with school and such but now he is BACK!!!

Starting with a win vs qxc in fnatic vs root ace match. He started to dominate the recent lan tourneys in Toronto Ontario area without much practice. High rank on NA ladder, JF is extremely underated atm but he is a truely fearsome enemy to anyone who has been followed BW scene long enough to know who he is.

The only invites were Korean-server people and I guess you could say the seeded top 3 from TSL2. If JF wanted to participate, he had to qualify just like everyone else...

Such a great write up, thanks for sharing the nostalgia with those of us who weren't around. I really hope we can see him repeat his success. That riptide state of the union that was linked was sooo epic.

I think Tyler is really starting to hit his stride with SC2 as well. his recent play has been very impressive.

no, mondragon and Tyler has been seeded... also sen?
i mean as incontrol said: "that qualifier is FREAKING DAMN HARD" and impossible for a university student to committ that much time to practice. JF just recently get back to the serious scene... there is noway he could pass that.

about skill? i mean he beated qxc while qxc was on top shape and qxc qualifed the thing while he was exaushted after some EU LAN tourney......

Right, the top 3 from TSL2. You could maybe argue for seeding past champions as well as the top 3 from the previous TSL, but that could make things fill up rather quickly.

Wouldn't it be awesome if he busted out the NonY tag for a big match in TSL 3? Like Jordan busting out the 23 for one big game (I think against the Knicks?) after he came back from retirement.

I think he has very solid foundations but unlike BW where at the end some of his fiercest competitors like Mondragon also have been somewhat inactive most of the good players now switched to full-time gaming (and in many cases full-time may be interpreted literally). So I ask myself if Nony`s triumph at the TSL2 also had his detrimental side in that he relies to much on his ttalent and too less on actual effort. But yea, I guess we all will be smarter in a few weeks.

Sick writeup on the story of Tyler.

"With everything on the line the one question left unanswered from this player is if Tyler can become Nony again." - Fraidnot

I love it ^^ Can he become NoNy againnnnnnnn! That would be awesome.

NonY was a much cooler alias then Tyler.
I have a beard. I'm unprofessional.

Do you guys want to hear a fun Nony Fact that you can use to impress your friends? Before getting into Starcraft, Nony really love the MMORPG Everquest, so much so that he would to play multiple characters at the same time to get that extra edge! Perhaps this was when he realized he needed a game to truly test his multitasking?

This has been your Nony Fact for March 16th 2011
