I'm pulling for the 'zain on this one. Never been a huge fan of Naniwa (though I must admit his nearly undefeated MLG run was imipressive).

As angry as I am at Thorzain for kicking Tyler out, I've been really impressed with his play and would love to see him take the title, especially as one of the lesser-known players coming into the TSL3.

lol.. T-Zain, i like that

I hope he'll take it too.. I've been really indecisive on who to root for for this finals, guess the result of this TSL isn't so important for me as the previous ones I guess.. Missing some 'Liquid action in at least the semi's is what I think put abit of a dampener on it this time

If i had to chose I would hold Thorzain as my favorite, most of all I hope for some great games though. Pref. 7 of them.

Can't wait for this. I see Nani got some nice stats there, can be difficult.

Should be one of the most anticipated finals of any tournament this year. Two very strong players who have shown that they absolutely deserve to be here, let's hope they don't disappoint.

This is f'ing incredible!

Getting a little hyped myself over this i must say. The prospect of watching games played live has got me excited! No real favorite between the two though, i'll root for whoever DELIVERS during the first couple of maps.

I only know of 2 series Naniwa has lost for the last couple months, both to protoss (SaSe and Squirtle). He's been winning everything and no matter how good Thorzain's tvp is - and it is beastly, Naniwa's basically unstoppable in the real matchups.

Naniwa Fighting!~

I know lots of people are gonna be rooting for Thorzain, considering his victories over the past few players, but Naniwa has more experience and considering how much he will practice for this match, win for Naniwa. Naniwa FIGHTING!

This series is pretty much guaranteed to be a treat. Thorzain has proven that he can beat anyone given time and preparation. In addition to that, he has insane on-the-fly flair. Naniwa is finally given some rest and time to prepare and he has a deep understanding of the PvT matchup. I'll eat my hat if one game of these series wont be the best PvT we've seen all year.
