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

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.
