Nice writeup. Interesting that we celebrate first and third place with interviews but not second place. I'd love to hear Naniwa's thoughts.

Q: Though you've earned your seed to TSL4, you're famous as the king of online money tournaments. Do you plan to compete in TLOpen next season even though you don't need to qualify?

Thats one dumb question.... If he qualified he cant play in them....

agreed, a follow up interview with Naniwa as he prepares for MLG would be neat.

Its awesome that they both got along so well. And who knows, they're both Swedish, maybe the best PvT in Europe will start practising with the best TvP in Europe.

Great writeup, but as it has been said before, I would love to have a interview with Naniwa, on his thoughts, if he isn't raging too much to give one that is =).

Oh and TSL was to date, the most exciting long running tournament I've ever seen.
Wake up Mr. Freeman, wake up and smell the ashes.

Thank you for the interviews. I hope Thorzain doesnt get into a good university, would like to see him play way longer. Me is a selfish one ^^

This interview is meaningless to me without an Asian man playing with his hair while asking the questions.

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?"


This is actually a good point and something for TL to improve upon. The question what he thinks about Naniwa felt also a bit weird since he'd already answered that partially. Good interviews none the less.

Nice interviews ! But it's a bit disappointing to have no interviews with nani and hasu obs. I really don't get why always only the winners are interviewed.

Am i the only one that thought the finals stream was a bit poor because they didn't show us the players and more of the TL office?

Nice to some more interviews though I feel the ones before the games are much more engaging.Thorzain has had quite an awsome ride from his qualification until becoming champion. Must say Ive been very impressed by him several several times![
