Day9 definitely has a talent for rising to the occasion. Gives the right level of excitement for the size and importance of the tournament at hand. Great job by him in the last 15 mins of game 7

Dood, if Inca can get to the code S finals any top western player also could.

If naniwa didn't throw those last few games then I dont know what happened. He got to 2k minerals a few times in more than 1 game.

It must have been so frustrating for Naniwa when chill lagged the game for a second time, probably fucked up his concentration pretty bad.


If that's all that takes for him to lose a game then that's his fault.

All it takes? What about being up and nearly closing the tournament win in 2 games but opponents successfully takes it to the ace-match... if that's not reason for getting mentally broken down in a game, I don't know what is.

Also, I would like to point out. Day9 was a damn good solo caster O.O Like really really good....


Day9 is the best caster, period. This series is proof. He doesn't miss a beat, he conveys excitement , he is not biased whatsoever. Everyone else just pales in comparison.


this so much ... not only does he do the best job at conveying excitement but his understanding of the game is some of the best of any casters as well .... only time I have EVER enjoyed someone solo casting he didnt even miss a beat

Wow just wow..epic final

When TSL3 started I was like Thorzain who?!? Talk about going from a almost nobody too a superstar in no time. Just hope he starts to perform better in tournament's where he can't prepare like this.

naniwa choked, nerves got to him after he had his huge lead in this series


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.

Naniwa is well known to have a bad temper.

Losing 2 games in a row due to failed all-ins/aggressions + that lag would have really made him lose a lot of focus IMO. His macro fell during that first push (banking up to 2k minerals) and then he never went for forges or twilight councils. And like THorzain said. He also could have took an expansion after dealing massive damage with that Colossus harass.

He was just too focused on winning that he didn't realize he still wasn't that far ahead.

But how are you pinpointing this onto lag exactly? I mean he did play a lot worse than his usual self in the last game, but to say it was the lag's fault, especially before hearing what he has to say... All I'm saying is, you are really just making excuses for him, without anything to back it up.

Naniwa was tilted so hard. Had the Naniwa from the first 3 games been playing in game 7 he would have walked away as TSL champion.

Was that the most watched game in all of Starcraft 2 so far?


I think Boxer vs. Nada in GSL has to be highest. I could be wrong though.


This has been definitely had the most live viewers outside of Korea in the history of eSports. Like 67k?

I was shaking a little bit when Thorzain won that last game. I thought he was done for a number of times that game (and, probably, he was done for), but he pulled through.

I'm not sure if he'll do as well at MLG, since he seems like the sort that is especially good at preparing for matches. But I'll definitely be rooting for him.

Not happy with Team Liquid.


I just can't understand this attitude, no matter the angle I look at it from.
TL, delivers as they've always done, if not better.
A thanks to both players for such epic games.

They're just frustrated. It's like Naniwa yelling at Chill, though obviously not on the same scale.

This thread deserves 400 pages, if not 4000.

Pretty sure stuff like counterstrike has gotten more in the past, not an expert though.

Lol.

While you might laugh at it, i also think Thorzain is not that good without much preparation. He didn't even qualify for the semi finals at the Roadtokorea thingy. Still he would be good enough for Code A imo.


that's irrelevant because he has lots of time for prep in GSL.

TSL def the best tournament out there right now. mlg and nasl has alot to learn.


MLG always has a good tournament, so not sure what you are talking about lol. Double elimination provides for the best games the majority of the time. TSL is really lucky that they ended with a finals performance with two players who know how to play vs eachothers race. GSL (although you didn't mention it) was unlucky that InCa is complete shit vs zerg.
