No really hype, no rly big emotion. It was a tournament like every other one.

In TSL3 there was a thorzain who wins against everybody, but this time only koreans boring me so hard.

Hope for the next TSL5 Hots :D

Cool write-up!

TSL2 is no doubt my greatest memory in foreign Starcraft. From following the ladder stage (not to mention playing in it myself, getting games vs Idra, Mondragon, Dimaga and the likes :D) and the drama, to watching the final together with a whole bunch of other nerds in Gothenburg, it was made of pure win.

TSL, the only tournament to compete with Korean Starleagues in intros.
I'm curious, is there a reason why Chill's super-rare-awesome-chocolaty-fudge-coated-mega-super video isn't within the bounds of this summary post of TSL?
I'm talking about TSL: Then & Now

I still laugh at the Naniwa v. Thorzain, checkers, chess, bingo and rubix cube video.

Good read !

Those TSL3 memories... It's still my favorite tournament by far, especially as I cheered for Thorzain ! It was an amazing run that completely struck anyone I think...

And oh god that reverse-kill in the finals... Nerd chills !

Sigh, as nice as TSL is, this post mainly made me realize how lacking this one was compared to the past. I hope TSL 5 makes up for it! I think having more invites, or a giant group play, or a special ladder (via tsl qualifier custom games or something) would help provide more storyline.

I think another problem was that there was simply so much more going on this year in starcraft that TSL wasn't the BIGGEST FUCKIN DEAL like it was previously

"Only emo or falsely modest europeans predict they're going to lose games."

This made my day. Best Idra quote ever.

I know it's a late reply, but thanks to everyone for the great feedback, I'm really happy that you guys liked the read, I enjoy doing it

I was already thinking about what the next instalment of the TSL should do to continue their story, I think most people do agree that while TSL4 was good, it was a little underwhelming compared to the previous ones. As they do need something to stand out in the current Starcraft structure.
