Wow, nAni keeps on impressing me. 3-4 months ago he was very cheesy, often one basing/5-Gating. Now he plays really well, micros well, macros well and makes amazing blink-of-an-eye decisions in difficult situations!


It was the 4k ladder push, he unlocked super toss powers when he hit 4k

once you qualify for TSL, you cannot participate in other qualifiers.

2 out of 2 TSL qualifiers are from Empire, nice

Edit: I also like how his play and his manner improved in the last month.

more like, the EU tourney was at 6am my time, the NA tourney is at 9am my time, sadly its freaking impossible to wake up T_T

I will try to fix my sleep schedule for next week and i hope other players do too ;P it would really be nice if they had the NA TL Open at a reasonable time ( 3PM ? !??! ) ;D

this man speaks the truth. 9am for an NA tournament is so early granted the tournament runs a long time but... so early T_T

After you win one TSL qualifier you are not allowed to participate in the others.

Thanks, makes sense, didn't know the rules already anticipated this case.

You don't know if his manner has improved , he doesn't lose so we don't have solid info to base an arguement on.

Regarding the starting times of the tournament(s?).

This is a big event in the foreign community, you should be able to attend a tournament at 9AM if you are serious about this game.
I'm not calling anyone out because I don't know the circumstances they are in but I think if you really wanted it you could get up at 9AM, heh....

I agree that 6 AM is very early and I understand if it is impossible to get up that early and perform good.

Believer out!

What time were the finals being played in NA? perfect time, in eu it is 3 o'clock now. And it starts also early in the european tournament. Besides in the match of Empire vs Fnatic it started at 5 am eu time. So complaining about times, when it is 10 o clock is not really valid. You need to play vs newbs first anyway.

Actually, I can not recall him losing to any top player for the last month or so, so it is actually true that he doesn't lose. Even at his race for 4000 he kept running into a lot of the top EU players the final days, and he did not drop a single game (sort of). I was watching a couple of the high lvl EU streams, and when they faced MeatyOwlLegs they got roflstomped by his Protoss macro play (TLO and Morrow are two examples).
