Holy man! Simply one of the best finals I've watched after the disappointing final of GSL May between Inca and Nestea, where it was so darn bloody one sided. Now, this is what you call a final, a real epic one. Thank you TL, the organizer and the players for bringing such a memorable tournament. And, thank you again to the finalist, Naniwa and Thorzain for being so professional and so well prepared. Really deserved my hats-off. Congratulations to you Thorzain, you've got a new fan in the TSL and that's me! And don't be too heart-broken Naniwa, you played well too but you lose to a a well-deserved champion, Thorzain!


I agree 100%

Now Thorzain needs to go to MLG so they can have a rematch.

Well played by both players. Was rooting for you Nani, but Thorzain is ridiculously good.

Lost every Liquibet with him now. >.<

Man, Thorzain style was squeezing every penny out from the army and being very efficient unlike most of the Terrans who simply waste their units. Look at each of the Marauders and ghost that he save. it is simply insane. That is what won Thorzain the champion apart from his flawless build orders, the efficiency in spending the mineral right to the dot and his timing attack. Simply brilliant! To take out Empire Kas 4-1 who out macroed my idol OgsNada is definitely something. And don't forget too, winning ogsMC, one of the greatest protoss in the world with 2 GSLs is definitely someone worthy to be tipped as the champion. He had a harder bracket, but he pulls it so well! A well-deservedly champion after being another top level protoss who had a 92% winning percentage against terran!
So crazy about Starcraft 2 E-sports that I prefer watching them than playing SC 2 itself!

I think a bi-monthly TSL would be awesome, wish it would happen.

This is the first time since the HDH with IdrA and White-Ra that a final has excited me so much.

I couldn't look away for a second I was sad when Chill got kicked though

I agree. Is there a donation page where can donate to have more TSL events occur?

Man this finals was awesome. Constantly hitting those EMP's even when Naniwa was ahead to just buy a bit more time, over and over again. Naniwa taking 3-1 and Thorzain clawing his way back into the series. Best finals in ages. None of the GSL finals has been this interesting since season one.

Thorzaine I knew you can do it. The moment you beat FruitDealer I know there is something great with this player. Pulling off unique builds like 3-CCsBOs and extreme macro and micro, a mixture of skill and wits. Your preparation is really phenomenal. Such feat requires great discipline and intelligence, a balance non of the other players showed. All the combatants in this tournament are great with unique qualities but only the more skilled post threat to you and those are all Champions of other prestigeous tournaments. Like the 2 time GSL champion and MLG champion.

I hope you continue your style of play, using calculated and tailored builds for specific opponents and gameplay. You can be the 1st foreigner who might win GSL. With your nerdgasmic micro and ubertastic fundamentals, you make grown men squeak like little schoolgirls, feeding their hunger for excitement. You are truly worthy of the title of TSL3 Champion. Hail to you Champion, reign supreme Thorzaine!

Naniwa was really anxious when chill started lagging. It seemed as though he wasn't calm on the series...

I was rooting for him so much, but he got the nerves (probably when Tzain won game 2).
