Nice write up, as always, but I was legit confused wondering it had been over a week and was TL really not going to post even in passing on the results of their own tournament?? At least we can put that to bed now.

I don't know any reasonable or logical person who thought that this wouldn't have ended in a 4-0 in Dark's favor.

Dark - the last Blizzcon champion and hopefully not last TSL winner. Outstanding!


They announced on stream that they will be back with TSL7 and TSL8 next year
Mark my words, sOs will win a GSL one day

Great article ^^

That run from Dark was out of this world. He played some edge-of-your-seat decisive SC2 in the toughest tournament run I've seen. Well deserved victory there.

I think Serral kind of crumbled in the finals but honestly I think you gotta just give all the credit to Dark on this one, what a fantastic run ascending from the depths of lower bracket hell.
Thanks for the write-up!

Dark is just so damn good when he's in good form, a well deserved win.

And to Serral, don't let 1 spanking get you down, train harder and give them hell next time!

In retrospect, his LB run is incredible, and to think he was 1 game away from getting knocked out in Ro32 by Thermal.

Glad he found his form towards the end of the tournament.
