Looking forward to TSL4, though I don't know how you're going to be able to top this one


Was thinking the same thing after TSL 1, and after TSL 2.
Answer, they are able to.

Day9's final commentating there was truly epic. The best possible finish to a great tournament and a great series.

Well done TL, and congrats ThorZain!

Naniwa choked so bad game 7 no tech, no upgrades... but Thorzain played amazing though

Actually, comebacks are only possible when one player chokes, or start to stutter. Of all the comebacks in Starcraft, only the chokes of the winning player and the ice cold mind of the underdog makes the comeback possible. If they kept playing perfectly no comeback would be possible, but something happens in the mind when you are ahead and you start making mistakes. I think that last game was the best PvT I've seen in Star2, and that comeback wouldn't be possible at this level without Naniwa choking. The choke could simple be just because Thorz just kept doing everything perfectly. Just like Boxer kept focusing drop-ships in Boxer-Joyo back in 2003.

That was probably the best series I've ever seen. Ever. SC1. SC2. Anything.

The lag in the last game seemed to effect him more than it did Thorzain.

Tbh I saw no hint of lag effecting either one. Don't get me wrong, it probably did effect them, but it was just not noticeable to the point, deciding which it effected more would be pretty silly. It's just good that all the times those spikes came, there was pretty much nothing going on.


Not necessarily the actual lag, but you could tell he was on tilt and having something like that happen when you are just trying to concentrate would be maddeningly frustrating.

Thanks TL for giving us this most amazing tournament! Enjoyed it from the initial full screen Tyler intro on the front page, all the way through to the finals!

Wish game 7 would go on for a little while longer, like the thorzain vs MC on Tal'Darmin, but hey, I was litterally on the edge of my seat for the entire series!

Couldn't have asked for a better set of games to complement the TSL3 grand final

Amazing tournament. Definitely the most exciting finals of any major tournament so far. I really can't believe how ThorZain held during some of those games.

Just wanted to thank TL for the GREAT tournament: it has got me psyched and pumped than any soccer match in the last couple of years, and the same goes for both this and the seed matches.

Just wanted to say you did a great job with the production (there were a couple of games where the cast of replays really showed it's advantages), and no offense to Chill, but thank god he dropped out of game 7, leaving Day[9] to make a BREATH TAKING commentary in the last minutes.

Congrats to ThorZain (even though not my liquibet), and also NaNiwa, both who played great in these last matches!
