I'm a little bit sad that only the winners get interviewed. It would be very interesting what went wrong for Naniwa and how his time in New York was.

Great work though!

Thanks for the write-up, can't begin to say how much I enjoyed the torny.

Was there an interview with NaNiwa, it'd be interesting to hear his thoughts?

I am very glad, it is the best online tournament in Europe and to come out in 3rd place is a good result.

Kas trashtalking Koreans and Americans

On a different note, I'd have liked interviews with the losers, too. I understand that you can't do that after every TSL match, but at least for the finals it would have been nice.

I laughed at the part where the interviewer asked him to translate the conversation he had with Naniwa in Swedish and it turned out to be "Hot_Bid is BM"

I feel sad for thorzain getting spammed. It's a pain in the ass you cant really deal with. Guess thats the downside of being famous, aint it?

Seeing Thorzain say R1CH 'seems' like a smart guy was kinda like MC saying he 'thinks' Flash would do well in SC2.

Thorzain says he doesn't believe he is ready for Korea even though he took out Fruitdealer and oGsMC >.< he should be more confident

Hey, atleast this one time, couldnt you had a loser interview as well? I'd die to hear Naniwa's thoughts!

Anyways, awesome recap guys, the whole event was an absolutely BLAST to say the least

I think Thorzain would do really well in Korea, I believe the tournament setup would suit him very well with all the time to prepare, that's the impression I've had from this player so far. Great tournament and great write up, as usual!
If you can chill.. Chill!

Nice writeup and awsome tournament.

But why are the questions always set in stone and simply delivered without follow up? For example "A troll? What do you mean?", "Oh what university and education are you hoping for?", "Naniwas nerves? how was yours?"
