Thank you so much to TL, Pokerstrategy, and all the casters/gamers and crew that made this tournament possible! Chill, don't sweat the lag, and I wish I didn't get stuck working or I'd be heading over to the party in Queens right now.

Congratulations to both ThorZain and NaNiwa for playing phenomenally.

Yea can we just get this in the OP instead of me seeing this for the 4th time

not the worst idea
If you think it's too hard there are solutions other than asking for a nerf, getting better is the first that comes to mind.

ThorZain is one of the most talented Terrans in the world, MC even told us that.
ThorZain, should he go to Korea, will do very very well.

Foreigners should only go to Korea if they reserve 4 slots for them in S class. One month for chump change A is ridiculous. Especially considering Koreans get seeded entry into foreign tournaments.

Foreigners can make so much more just staying foreign. That's why IdrA left and he was S already.

Just like Boxer picking the weakest race and becomes the master, Thorzain does the same and comes out winning TSL against all odds, as a Zerg, I am amazed of his skills. Terran isn't supposed to stand a chance on that map vs P, and he won. Sure, Chill's lag and Thorzain's nerves of ice made Naniwa lose a game he would have won 99 out of 100, but still, amazing match.

Don't sleep and watch all of Thorzain's previous games while you wait. I'm considering doing that actually.

Yeah.. he only took out 2 gsl champions, one of them being the two-time champion MC.

I personally feel that naniwa tossed the series with the fail game on xel'naga.

Game one was really tense with amazing play, especially by naniwa. Game two was pretty much the same thing, with really exciting moments like the collosi cliff walk <3
Game three naniwa just CRUSHED thorzain with really solid play, something he should have done more. On terminus we saw amazing micro and some clutch moves(depots). In game 5 on xelnaga naniwa 4gated and didint really excecute as well as we know he can, it was by far the least enjoyable game. Game 6 on crossfire gave us another tense moment with a clutch defense of naniwas 6gate allin. Game 7....... Amazing display of patience, great micro and strong play under great pressure.

The series was amazing, it did not have the best gameplay(thorzain vs mc) but it was sooooo tense and exciting. Alot like Mana vs Naama at dreamhack

TSL3 has been amazing, thanks to all involved. It's been a blast following it. Congratz to Thorzain for this epic win!!!

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.

BTW. I would hope that next time we can have an interviewer that would actually match the excitement and passion of such an incredible event instead of being so awkwardly timid and negatively effecting such an awesome moment for ThorzaiN.

Great series! Specifically on the last game though, I was surprised with some of the decisions Nani made... He doesn't go +1 attack (and in fact wasn't a big fan of attack upgrades throughout the series) which really hurt his army. Colossi cost 500 combined resources and 6 supply and give you 18.2 dps (or assuming 3 targets a strike 54.6 dps) . +1a cost 200 combined resources and gives you a bonus 2.4 dps or counting splash of 3: 7.2 dps.

Therefore at one colossi your dps cost 27.4 / 9.15 resources per DPS.

Plus 1 attack cost you 83.3 / 27.7 (assuming just one colossi)

Plus 1 attack with two colossi on the field: 41.65 / 13.8

Plus 1 attack with three colossi on the field: 27.7 / 9.23

So pretty much once you reach 3 colossi...+1 pays for itself. And this doesn't count the supply cost of the colossi nor the benefits that the other protoss military units get from +1.

Nani, should have retreated once he killed those SCVs in the first volley and just teched up. Protoss is very strong on macro maps once they get blink/charge/forge upgrades/HT tech.

Thorzain on the other hand finally seemed to realize that marauders work so much better than tanks against protoss. Had he realized this earlier, Nani wouldn't have lasted to a game 7. Thors work against protoss...but not tanks. I suspect Thor was still in his tank mindset from his win over Kas.

definitely i agree with you
quite a lot of mistakes from the both sides made no game in the series one sided like the GSL finals and made it back and forth intense final
