Most incredible series I've seen so far!

Thorzain : please forgive me for doubting you during your qualifying rounds.... I feel the shame now.

I remember reading a thread here on TL couple of months ago saying how SC2 games are boring, players just sitting in their base until they are max, and then there is one big game deciding battle, and that's it. No constant battles all over the map, no heart attack inducing games. The guy was right in a sense, but since then the games, and the palyers themselves became hundred times better. Refined builds, better information gathering, better mechanics, more knowledge and so on.

The most tense finals in SC2 history, very high level play, multiple cardiac arrests all over the place, big props to Nani, and Thorzain, huge thanks to TL staff, congrats, to Thorzain. *bows*
I have a folder labeled day9_dailies where I store my horseporn. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thank you TL for bringing us this amazing TSL. And PS.com for making this possible.

One thing I learn after watching alot of SC2 is: Swedish seems to swear alot, Jinro and Thorzain both say "fuking" in their interview :D.

Day9 was fucking amazing. Chill did the most honourable thing in bowing out of game 7 and never made a fuss about it. Thorzain lived the Cinderalla story from start to end. Naniwa play some of the best Protoss I have ever seen, barring some major micro mistakes.

Holy shit this was awesome.

So, do you think GSL will invite Thorzain to at least Code A?


he can't stand a chance in code A


Lol.


Seriously, after today it's pretty clear Thorzain and Naniwa are better than quite a few Code S finalists.


Dont think they will ever go since getting into code s is still so hard, lose one game and you have to wait a few months before trying again.

Better for them to stay over here with so many big tournaments.


With the GSL and MLG exchange and both Thorzain and Naniwa's obvious intent to go to Korea (stated multiple times in interviews, + both their participation in Road to Korea). I think we will be seeing them both in Code A within the next 3 months.

i thought you guys would be filming the guys with camera and stuff between games and sometime before games like they do in most lan events.

nice finals, both of them deserved the final spot and i was happy both of them showed pretty ok play even under the pressure

"pretty okay play"!? common.. dont understate like that -.-



Yeah, Naniwa clearly collapsed under the pressure, some of his play was disappointing, so it probably averaged out to "pretty ok" for the series.

I'm so happy we finally had a good final, seeing how the recent GSL final was such a disappointment. Extremely entertaining, big thanks to everyone who was involved in bringing this to us!

Also, it's nice that the Swedes won something today, because they got demolished at hockey

too soon??


Sarcasm etc.. aside.

OH MY GOD, what terrific games, such insane nice control of thorzain!

-__-;

Ok, seriously enough of the potshots at Intrigue. I agree with parts of the article, disagree with most of it, but it's especially irrelevant when these guys were wc3 players. Clearly SC2 still has a long way to go. There will be discoveries, and developments. It's exciting! And this was fantastic and will be remembered for a long time.
