HasuObs !!

Becoming quite a regular in these, this amazing player performed far beyond what many expected in the PokerStrategy TSL3. He took down favorites HuK and MorroW, and slayed the Emperor himself, BoxeR. HasuObs also took home a Sennheiser Cup, as icing on the cake.

Total Prizewinnings: ~$1,640 USD



SaSe !!

Thanks to his amazing performance in the 'Road to Korea' tournament, he's going to Korea to compete in GSL. SaSe went 10-1 in games (5-0 in series) in his group including powerhouses ThorZaIN and LaLuSh. He eventually went on to defeat both Bischu and finalist NaNiwa to steal the tournament. SaSe put a halt to NaNiwa's 35 BoX series winning streak in defeating him. Despite the disappointment of many due to his win over the favorite NaNiwa, SaSe's stellar performance is without a doubt worthy of his prize. I look forward to cheering this guy on in Korea, and you should too!

Total Prizewinnings: ~$2,350 USD



Nerchio !!

Up until now, Nerchio's primary strong performances in lesser cups have been featured here, but this time around he's done something better. If you have any doubts about this guy's skill, do yourself a favor and take a look at his recent Pokerstrategy Call4Kings performance. Strelok 2-0, MorroW 2-0, TT1 3-0, in addition to crushing several other opponents. He didn't drop a single game. In addition to this, he just barely missed out on both a Zotac and Competo Cup win. It wouldn't be the honorable mention category without Nerchio, but he certainly has the potential of taking the number one spot in the future.

Total Prizewinnings: ~$1,135 USD

NaNiwa !!

This dominant Protoss beast barely evaded victory in two epic tournaments this past two weeks. He was just one game away from stealing the Pokerstrategy TSL3 Final, and he similarly evaded victory in the 'Road to Korea' tournament. This seemingly unstoppable force, off of a record streak of 35 consecutive BoX series wins, marched to the final on the shattered pile of dreams that Ret, GoOdy, CrunCher, and HasuObs left behind. Despite his inability to grasp the title, there's no doubt that NaNiwa's recent performance solidifies him as one of the best Protosses in the entire world.

Total Prizewinnings: ~$7,000 USD

IdrA !!

As it seems long overdue, IdrA finally makes his way into this ranking with his commanding victory in the first season of the IGN Proleague. Never actually dropping into the loser's bracket, the Gracken tore through an impressive lineup of Fenix, Drewbie, KiWiKaKi, and SeleCT to make the final. He met the loser's bracket revival of KiWiKaKi in the final, once again smashing the strong Canadian Protoss. In addition to this performance, he beat up fellow Zerg Sheth in a showmatch event. I have no doubts that IdrA will return with more massive tournament wins in the near future.

Total Prizewinnings: ~$2,700 USD

ThorZaIN !!

When I think of this player, all I can manage to conjure in my mind is "Oh my $&#!ing god." If you haven't watched the Pokerstrategy TSL3 Final, go. Now. The quiet mannered ThorZaIN seemingly feeds off of the stress and pressure of important matches, bringing out impeccable performances worthy of Starcraft legend. We will be talking about ThorZaIN's TSL3 performance for years to come. When we introduce someone to Starcraft 2, we will show them the TSL3 Final VODs with pride.

He was the underdog against the GSL Champion FruitDealer.
He was the underdog against foreigner legend and defending TSL Champion Tyler.
He was the underdog against 2x GSL Champion and arguably best Protoss in the world MC.
He was the underdog against TvT beast and top European Terran Kas.
He was the underdog against MLG Champion and best performing foreign Protoss NaNiwa.

He is ThorZaIN, he gives players nightmares, he may have the best TvP in the world, he is the TSL3 Champion, he is no longer the underdog, he is the Top Dog!

Total Prizewinnings: ~$15,000 USD
