Nice article, but Tyler's actually done a lot more than most people think in SC2. Maybe I will write my own article to explain?
During practice session, I discovered very good build against zerg. -Bisu[Shield]

Nope, most likely not. The top and the middle of the pack is separated by a fairly thin line in the competitive foreigner scene. His biggest strength in BW was mechanics, and it allowed him to distance himself quite a bit from other top players. In SC2 that obviously isn't the case.


I'd say his builds and preperation for specific matches played just a big role in being the best. He just needs to be able to practice more - he does have his RL now though.

Tyler is extremely smart when it comes to starcraft. His mechanics are great and like cujo2k said, his ability to create builds and prepare for matches is outstanding. TSL3 was made for Tyler and he will be ready. There is no doubt about that.

Well I think if Tyler wants to win this, hes gonna have to improve his practice. Hes even stated this fact himself, and others have joked (at his expense) that he doesnt practice. I do find it a little unsettling that hes playing (apparently but I dont know) alot of WoW. I want Nony to repeat his performance from TSL2. He is the one Im picking to win. But he needs to play more, needs to stop playing WoW (even if he wins every SC2 tourny ever, no more WoW! lol)

Maybe we should also monitor his post count. If he starts posting too much, he should get a temp ban.

And all his practice must be streamed or it didn't happen.

Great write up. Here's hoping Tyler goes all the way! I'm always really impressed every time I see him play.

Nony was a good player but the best non korean? you've gotta be joking lol. Either just very biased or you need to do a bit more research.

Doesn't seem far fetched to me?

Anyone with a brain would have said the big three during TSL2 were Nony, Ret and Idra so to pick Nony who won TSL2 when the other two didn't as the best non korean seems quite reasonable.

Best non korean at the end of bw maybe...but I doubt I would call him the best non korean ever.

I'm definitely rooting for Tyler to win it all. Imo, he should just switch his name back to Nony as that's obviously the reason he had so much success. I feel like he can most definitely beat anyone in TSL3 despite his somewhat lackluster SC2 career.

I think he's going to definitely cause some upsets even if he doesn't take it all.

Oh and at the end of Brood War Nony was hands down the best non-Korean, I don't get why anyone would call that a stretch.

Anyone wondering if he's up to speed in SC2 can check out his BO5 with Jinro, cast by Husky and Day9. All the games are in Day9's blip tv archives.

I can't see why anyone would doubt Tyler. I've been a Nony fan from day 1 of TSL2.
