I thought Naniwa would dominate this poll. I voted for him.

Rooting for Thorzain. His TvP is very strong and he managed to steamroll MC, but Naniwa is also a very solid player. It'll be interesting to see if Thorzain does his Thor build with patch 1.3.3 Thor nerf (but conversely, maybe more ghosts and well placed EMPs).

Anyways, very excited. A premature cheer to the organizers of the tourney; it's been really fun watching.

Naniwa. So when he wins we'll get a shitstorm of nerf/OP cries despite the patch nerfing protoss yet again.


Archon buff, zealot/stalker/sentry build time decreased

only thing that was a slight nerf was warp gate research. Thor nerf is bigger than all that

only sentrytime is decreased and only for gateway. I dont think that the patch has much influence on this matchup. I hope thorzain wins, I enjoyed his games so far and maybe he has even better trainingspartners since joining mousesports! Gogo Thorzain, but please not too fast, want to see 7 games xD

Both players are great, but I'm a naniwa fan and must stick to that.

To bad that we will not see anymore Thor play from Throzain.
I am not young enough to know everything.

I find it very intersting that Thorzaine is leading this poll considering Naniwas recent performance. He may take a couple of games but I dont think he can win vs Naniwa.

White-Ra is good because of his stable play. I find it hard to call him the best protoss around with players like Naniwa around.

Gotta go with ThorZaiN. He went through MC to reach the finals - if he can take out MC, he can take out NaNi IMO.

Should be good games though, NaNi is pretty beastly. Very much looking forward to this. ^^

The best thing about this is that sweden will win no matter how the final goes
I think its quite impressive that in the tsl3 we had 5 players accounting we only have a total population of 9 million in the whole country

I think people give MC too much credit. He has great micro, and changed the meta game in Protoss' favour for a short while and for that he is great. However now that his timings have all been played to death he really doesn't have game deciding macro to fall back on. Also lately some of his discisions have been severely lacking (fast expanding against agressive terrans and just losing instantly).

Overall most of his success was because of risks he took which were lucky enough to come off due to the timings being unfamiliar. However, Naniwa is just an all round solid player and doesn't have to rely on luck based risky builds to win and for that he at least offers a different kind of challenge.

I'm pretty sure Thorzain has been the underdog in every poll, yet he manages to win. I fear for the worst now that he's the favorite in the poll....

Next TSL I'm not gonna be so conservative with my bracket...... I knew Thorzain was a beast before TSL even started, but I had no idea he was a super-mega gosu beast.

I think thorzain will take it. Beating mc showed us how good his tvp is. I thought he will lose to kas(tvt was his weakest match-up) but affter winnng 4-1 i am confident that he will win with nani(although nani is also great player)
