Except it isn't Illidan... It's that demon guy from war3.. There's atleast one Z and probably an X in his name. That's how you recognise them. I'd be cool with a demon called like "Steven" or something for once lmao.
Quite sure this is Varimathras or Mal'Ganis; so no Z or X.

All semi-finalists are awesome, so no matter who'll get into the finals deserves it!

My body is ready.

Thorzain, you're my man.

Naniwa is my other man, the things I would do for that kind of final.

I'm going to name my first born after him if HasuObs makes it to the finals.

I'd be so happy.

Goddamn it.. well it still sounds like a nutjob... I'd still really like seeing a super powerful demon by the name Steven or Carl or something like that ^^

Great write up!

I really hope Thorzain will show us some crazy prepared builds, but I'm rooting for Kas.

Thorzain was really impressive in the other matchups, but with tvt being his weakest and Kas having a really good tvt it's hard to bet on Thorzain on this one. Naniwa on the other end is a sure bet, he should have no trouble crushing Hasuobs.
The spice must flow

If it isn't a Kas vs Nani final i will be VERY surprised!

The beauty is thorzain and hasu are both very capable of pulling out a surprise victory.

Cannot wait for TSL GO GO GO!!

The Goonies for the win. Mikey vs Brand, the Walsh Brothers in the Finals would be so epic!
Both of them got to make out with Andy: + Show Spoiler +

I enjoy that 3 ex-wc3 players somehow made TSL3 semis out of 4 (unless Kas played wc3 too, know nothing about him tbh), being an ex-wc3 player myself.
Naniwa vs Kas final with naniwa taking it

edit: HenL was a pretty smart player in the wc3 scene a few years back, i'd be curious to see what drugs he's on to accurately predict these semis. I want some.

One of these mirrors will be SOO much more exciting than the other....but seeing how well Naniwa wins will be interesting I suppose, or if HasuObs is confident I'm sure he can compete.
