I hope the community accepts your appology. I certainly do. Honestly, even though this is a selfish thought of mine I have to say it: Any factor in producing the outcome that occured is not to be frowned upon. I mean I'm sorry that Naniwa perhaps reacted poorly but really? I couldn't imagine a better finals.

Your a great person and great caster chill, sucks that you got booted.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

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

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

How many finals have Losira, Bomber and Alicia been in?


Well Losira could have been in this last one but couldn't manage to beat Sc. And I think Thorzain and Naniwa could give Sc a run for his money.

Im not saying they couldnt, just that saying "if inca can make it any top western pro could" is pretty silly.

naniwa made mistakes of clumping his sentries and focused too much on microing his colossi while thorzain was continuing to stream potentially freefood marauders along the ledge and nani basically gave time to thorzain to drop some nice emps. not sure what was going through their heads at that moment

Most ThorZaIN fans probably converted after he beat MC. After I saw that series... I knew he was different than all the rest. His 4-1 vs Kas only surprised me in that it wasn't 4-0. His 4-3 vs NaNiwa is only fitting. After all the big names ThorZaIN took down, who better to finish with than NaNiwa? ThorZaIN all the way.

You really couldn't ask for a better storyline. ThorZain came out a true hero, it will take a lot for people to start underestimating him.

Hey, you just made it so lag officially could be the recurring theme of TSL3. No worries, we still love you, Chill! (Well, except for Naniwa maybe)

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.


We could see clearly that Chill being the SC mega-awesome nerd he is wanted to stay. And I feel a little sorry for him because he had to leave in the middle of game 7 of an amazing series of a grand final of an awesome tournament. Tough luck.

We also saw a little of Naniwa's dark side...^^

Hmm, despite the results and how amazing a comeback that was for Thorzain, I still feel that Naniwa is the better SC2 player. Naniwa played brilliantly in the first 4 games and looked invincible. His problem is that his attitude/mindset failed him and his rage costed him the last game.

However, if there was a coach, or a good friend there to calm him down and talk to him, we would've seen him steamroll Thorzain and close out the series. I'm looking forward to seeing Naniwa go to Korea and join a team that can give him support, although this may be tough considering he's not Korean.

But ya, basically someone needs to harvest the SC2 talent of Naniwa and turn him into someone even more beastly.

I feel REALLY bad about sleeping through the first 3 games. Luckily, the subsequent 4 games made up for it.

I'm really looking forward to watching the VODs. This was absolutely phenomenal.
