Thank you to Sandisk and TotalBiscuit for putting together such an amazing Starcraft 2 tournament! It's things like these that continue to get me excited about Starcraft 2!!!

Only a tournament this good could've kept me up even after spending so much of my weekend watching Homestory Cup

State looked to be about his equal there although Flash pulled out the 2-1 win.

If you already knew about SanDisk and trusted their products enough to consider them amongst others in your local computer store, then maybe SanDisk doesn't care about you, but now many people who never knew about SanDisk, or who didn't know much about what they do, know much more about SanDisk then before.

I don't think he predicted anything (it was a tough call). But he is now saying that "Flash is here!" and "he's gonna dominate!". Sigh.

That's unlikely due to the fact that would have been so early in Korea especially since the top 4 had to play Proleague.

Best online tournament in a while.

Clearly you're wrong since a lot of their new products are actually selling out as a result due to this.

This tournament was awesome and I hope to see it again. Pity Flash couldn't grab himself a tournament win but man there were some awesome games this tournament. I think the viewership was actually pretty strong as well.
Anyway ty to TB and Sandisk and get well soon!

I was thinking of maybe around 2 pm my time so 8 pm CET. But yeah I suppose that is pretty damn early in the morning for the players then the quality of games would've taken a hit haha. Nvm this was the best time to hold it I suppose

Just stick with TvT's and ZvT's
This tournament's TvT's were quite nice.
Thanks Sandisk and TB!
