Incredibly disappointed that Naniwa lost. But the finals were so amazing that I can somewhat get over it. Still, I'll remember this as one of the greatest SC moments of my life

I imagine Pusan winning something would have been first BOOM

I know how you feel - I too have trashed my room whenever my Fighting Irish get slaughtered by Pete Carrol. From today forward, whenever I see a naysayer who refuse SC2's potential as a spectator sport, I'll simply redirect them to the TSL3 Finals.

It.
Was.
Incredible.

I was rooting for Naniwa but the quality of the games made up for him losing in my opinion, wasn't sad at all by the end.

Wow, good OP. I felt the same way except I was rooting for Thorzain. Still feel bad for Nani though

Is it sad that I came into this thread expecting something completely different?

Personally though, I've been cheering for Thorzain right from the start (And picked Ret to win against Naniwa

) though I was shocked when it went the ways it did in the first round like everyone else. Completely believed in his ability to win the whole thing after downing FD. I got rather (read: extremely) nervous when Thorzain went down 1-3, and did not believe it either that he came back, wow.

PS: I'm kind of amused that my bracket has basically the two strongest Koreans right now taking 1st/2nd, my picks weren't actually based off any sort of skill opinions or such hahaha...

Feel your pain, I cry a little inside everytime Bisu loses, thankfully this SPl and WL seasons have been kind to me.

You're a piece of shit. Sorry.

It's really good to see that even the spectators are emotionally attached to their favorite players and the game itself. I personally was really struck by how Day9's voice started to tremble once he realized that Thorzain had pulled such a ridiculous comeback off and made history. So frigging inspiring. Definitely one of the absolute best Starcraft moments out there. The TSL delivered.

Poor Nani

I feel so bad for him as well....chin up! You'll be back out there in no time snapping nerd necks!

"Naniwa, the nicest person" Seriously?

70k Viewers in stream and Naniwa yelling "GET OUT CHILL"
If naniwa have manner,he should say "chill can you leave please?" or act like ThorZaIN

PS.I'm a Male

I really don't understand this. He's playing the last game in a very important match, winner gets 15k$. That's a fucking lot. And during this a caster starts lagging the game, sure, might not be the biggest blow to you sitting at home in your comfy chair watching the finals, but for some players this is a huge deal. Lagging can really throw people off their game as it interrupts the rythm in their play.

I fully understand Naniwa reacting like he did, people shouldn't mind it as long as it doesn't go too far. It shouldn't even be regarded as BM.

i absolutely loved the series, a month or so i wondered if there ever would be a more epic series then mana vs nama, especially game 3. And then the games began, i was so worried thorzain was going to lose because i was rooting for him. I was absolutely amazed it got to game 7, and game 7 didnt go that well too. But then, all of the sudden, with his 3 rax army vs a 10 gate protoss, he won. Most epic series in the whole of starcraft
