I think it's interesting to observe the differences between how Naniwa and Thorzain handled the lag episode.

Forget about how it happened, because it could have happened a thousand different ways.

Yes, Naniwa is under pressure and he just lost 2 in a row. However, given his reaction it's almost as if he thought this was some show match with 20 random spectators in it. Does he not realize that the reason he has a shot at 15k is because there's thousands of fans out there wanting to spectate, and that there needs to be commentators bringing the action to the fans? Does he not realize that it's not up to him on whether Chill should leave or not?

There wasn't actually anything wrong with what he said. I just find that it gives everyone an insight into his personality and makes him come off as a sort of cranky spoiled kid. It makes me dislike him as a player, and makes me like Thorzain more.

Yes a lot was on the line, but the same can be said for Thorzain, and it's not just some random "lagger", this is one of two important commentators who are bringing the action to the fans, without which there would be no TSL to begin with.

Also, where did I say he disrespected the fans? What does Idra have to do with this? If you want to argue against my opinion at least try and actually address the point.

there isnt any point to address, thats the problem. i do not understand why youre trying to create an issue where there isnt any.

''but the same can be said for Thorzain'' so what? all people are the same? they have the same characters, personalities and reactions? thorzain is the noble one for not tolding him to get out?

and wow, how dare he told CHILL to get out, i think he should be banned for life from all sc2 tournaments and get hung in the village's oldest and tallest tree. i got nothing with chill, but your post still does not make any sense. random or not, the lagger must leave when 15,000k are on the line. that does not show in any way disrespect to chill.

stop posting about irrelevant things

Naniwa confuses me... If I was him I'd be waaaay more pissed over losing to Sase than to ThorZain, regardless of the money involved. We must be very different people O.o

Regardless, ThorZain deserved this and needed this!! I really hope he goes SC2 full time and we get to see more of him, he's so likable and soooo good!

Will there be a replay pack with all sc2 matches [not talking about VODS] ?

So can we download the replays?

No, for a variety of reasons replays of official TSL3 games will not be available for download. Maintaining the name of the PokerStrategy.com TSL3 is not possible if we allow downloading of replays from the tournament, thus replays are not released. We cannot release the replays without relinquishing creative control of the tournament to third party casters who may or may not chose to properly credit sponsorship and tournament organizers. Keeping replays internal also keeps some level of privacy for the players who come up with new builds specifically for the tournament.
