Thank you for such an amazing tournament, I hadn't been this excited for something for such a long time.
Amazing production, amazing casting and talk about a set of intense finals, jesus fuck i almost fell off my chair and had a heart attack.

So yeah, thank you to everyone that organized this for us, seriously.
EDIT:
Figured it would be worth mentioning Hot_Bid, the observer.
You maginificent bastard, never missed a single second of action. You're like the silent third commentator :D

I thought Day9's solo casting in a tight spot on game 7 was really well done. Imagine if the solo-cast couldn't live up to the quality/tension of the game at that time of the series; it would have been a real shame.

Thanks TL for putting the event up, and to PokerStrat for their sponsorship. Hope you all entered into the draw!

Huge thanks to everyone involved in TSL 3, the first tournament I've ever really followed and a mindblowing one. That final series was about as epic and intense as it could've been -- plenty of replay value. Bring on TSL 4!

For me at least, TSL will always be the premier foreign SC tournament. There's just nothing that compares.

Thanks TL, made my day (and the 60000+ people watching as well, I'm sure).
And congrats ThorZain, I feel like Terrans finally have a hero/leader.

Amazing tournament, watched every game and loved it. The only bad side was almost giving Day9 a heartattack in the last game. He just graduated, it'd be tragic if he keeled over then D:

Hey Chill! Just relax, it wasn´t that bad. Unfortunately - Yes, but everyone knows that you did all you could to provide a smooth stream. Shit happens, but you did a great job casting!

I want to thank everyone who was involved with this great tournament. It was presented so nicely. Great quality and a great design overall!!

I´m eager to watch TSL4 !

This so-called "tsl" tournament thing was kinda the most boring and rubbish event I've ever watched.

Just kidding! This was AWESOME, from the TL open qualifiers to the epic bo7 finals. Once again, TL staff delivered. This TSL3 was the best foreigner tournament to date. Also kudos to Naniwa for getting 2nd place and congratulations to Thorzain, his name is now inscribed in the sc2 Hall of Fame.

edit; thanks to Pokerstrategy.com, personally I don't play online poker but I love you.

Don't worry at all about it man. No one can predict lag like that, and i doubt it affected the game that much! TSL3 has made me a huge fan of your casting, im so glad you and day9 was casting the finals, my favourite two casters for sure (closely followed by tastosis!). Also, like someone already said, all that chat and stuff was 99% not hate, just a new (and totally awesome) meme.

Ot: Ive already written this in various other threads in the last few minutes, but here it goes again. Thank you so much, teamliquid.net/pokerstrategy.com/the players for the most amazing tournament i've watched to date. From the qualifiers all the way to the finals, this has brought me incredible entertainment. <3<3<3

Special Thanks to Team Liquid and Pokerstrategy.com guys, you rock for bringing this to the community, and a big thank you to Day9 and Chill with awesome casting during the Grand Finals! Especially Day9 when he had to go solo, my heart was pounding those last crucial minutes - it was just SO intense!

You guys have set the bar for hosting a tourney like Star Wars set the bar for movie making - well done!

I had to register simply to thank you all for putting this together.

I could not leave my computer for the duration of the finals, especially the second half of the games. My dinner burnt to a black crisp as a result, but it was well worth the epicness.

Thorzain, how do you do it?

Thanks to the wonderful staff and admins that made this tournament possible. The entire tournament was simply incredible. It was handled very professionally. I'm very happy to have partaken in the experience.

Congratulations to ThorZaIN! It was an amazing run. You turned me into a fan despite knocking out Tyler.

I'm waiting very (im)patiently for news of TSL4.
Even during difficult times, when I sat down to play the game, there were times where it felt like god has descended down and played [for me].

Holy crap that was so awesome and intense. Game 7 is probably the most pressure-filled PvT I've ever watched. So amazing. When Chill had to go and day9 was left alone to do it and he went into crazy caster god baller nerd mode it was amazing, some of the best casting I've ever seen him do. Amazing tournament!

also: mandatory CHILL GET OUT meme hahaha

the best sc2 tournament as of yet IMO, GSL has always these anticlimatic finals, but the TSL3 finals were truly exciting!

The only bad thing I have to say about this tournament is: work on the casters.

I had to watch with mute every time HUSKY or Djweath casted.

Asides from that, thanks for a great tournament!

OMG I waited for this whole week, and FORGET IT around 19.00 (started at 20.00 in my timezone). DAMN YOU Portal2, now i have to watch from vods...

Also, agree with title: THANKS for the TSL, it was great, very-very good organizing, nice casters (except day9, but whatever), and most of all: exceptional players.

Best SC2 tournament so far - in all aspects.

Great, epic games, awesome commentating, good tournament structure. Thanks to all people who made this happen, thanks to Pokerstrategies.com for being an awesome sponsor. This was huge!

Better than GSL, MLG, ESL alltogether. FANTASTIC!

Thank you TeamLiquid for an amazing tournament with exciting matches, great casting and barely any hiccups. It was more than a worthy successor to the 2 BW TSLs and I'm very much looking forward to TSL4!

By very far my favorite SC2 tournament ever. Thorzain's win, along with Day9's account of his difficult path right after, actually put water in my eyes. What a hero!

Yes - thanks all the TL team for putting together a great tournament and great production! Can you start hyping tsl4 now? Without the hype, there is something missing in my life.

I'm not playing season 5. At least that's what I keep telling myself.

Number of amazing finals - TSL: 1 GSL: 0

Absolutely amazing, I honestly can't believe I followed a tournament for months, might be the first one since SC1, just so used to the SC2 format where everything is done in a day.

I'd like to drop a thanks here too, this was by far the most exciting tournament to watch, every series was good and the finals was just awesome and super tense, never been so on the edge of my seat.

Thanks to all casters, Day9, Wheat, Chill, Husky, you all did a great job.

Thankfully Day9 casted that series so it was epic. There's no caster that can create the tension in a game that day can.

finals couldn't have been more intense and Day9 is the best man, that was an epic cast, he seems to see every little thing that happens in the game. and thorzain made TSL3 pure epicness. what a tournament, ty tl.

Yeah, absolutely and 100% true, but then I'd have to include the OSL and MSL for comparison as well 8\

Thanks for TSL3 and I hope that TSL4 will be here soon.

Finals were strang. Thorzain won all matches that I watched, and lost all that I had to skip (imagine my surprise when I got back to watching finals and it was 1:3!) But all matches from 5-7 were so AWESOME!

One word for the last few games in the grand finals: Nerdchills.






so true, the whole game i had full body nerd chills, only leaving me when lag occured, i see how it was unavoidable.

apart from that final lag, i think it was the best tourney i've ever watched.

Fantastically close final, final set had me edge of my seat heart racing moment (thanks to Day9 for giving me my OWN heart palpatations!) as I've only just managed to watch it. ThorZain a total boss.

Thank you for such a great tournament, you had great casting teams and it was fantastic to see so many different casting duo’s do so well together, plus almost every set was so even and so close, which always makes for the best games.

Thanks to TL and all the casters that took time out of their daily lives to give us all such a good time. excellent job by Hot_Bid he was just as if not better then any of the Korean pro observers.

Yeah, this tournament made all similar attempts seem mediocre.
Everything from stream quality, to hype, casting, access to coverage (VOD's up sooo fast), competitor line up, production and even observing skills in-game, was simply flawless.

TSL3 has been the best reason for me, to be into SC2 so far. Keep it up, and pat your own backs, for a job well done.

I just have to mention that Day9 is a beast at casting. Accompanied by Chill made a great cast. AMAZING GAMES, I couldn't believe that a SC2 game could be this entertaining... such incredible casting and such incredible play by both players.

I'll be orgasmically chilling to my euphoric visions of E-sport's future for the next few days.
