So now that this tournament is complete, what game, act or moment will you forever remember this tournament by?
I will remember Game 6 of the finals where Thorzain somehow held off Naniwa's all in. I don't know how he did it. Also, everything was on the line as Nani was just one game away from victory. My most memorable moment for sure.
Other great moments: Thorzain defeating MC with Thors, Naniwa's lolgates vs Goody, MVP vs Adelscott, and the whole Thorzain Cinderella story.

I can speak for all the koreans in PLAYXP It was...
"CHILL GET OUT"
|
Thorzain vs MC on Tal Darim.
Thorzain's Gosu Ghosts cloak, run into MC's Deathball, and EMPs everything.
Everything.
|
I'm a protoss player so I wanted Nani to win, but I also like Thorzain more (been a fan since wc3 days) so I also wanted him to win. So game 7, the second Nani 'GG'd with Day9 screaming at the top of his lungs. It really was a weird mix of happiness and sadness.
|
Thorzain vs MC on taldarim altar when Thorzain attacked MCs base at the bottom of the map with a kinda small force and MC was engaging with his army. Thorzain cloaked a few ghost, got for several good EMPs and just wrecked MCs army and I was like "HOW DID HE DO THAT?!?!"
|
What i will remember the most is how briliant Thorzain and Naniwa were holding early attacks in every game. That tention... every unit, every second, every inch counted.... Mindblowing micro... just amaizing!
+ Show Spoiler +...And Chill lagging in game7... I hope it won't turn into game-ending whining thingie.
|
naniwa yelling at chill in the finals was pretty priceless
|
My favorite match up so far was Boxer vs Sen, that best of 5 series was really fantastic for me.
|
ThorZaIN's engagement against MC on Tal'Darim where he turned 150 vs 200 food into 130 vs 130
|
Epic finals comeback and Thorzain vs MC were the best games of them all.
|
"Chill get out" Although I think the most memorable part were those last 2-3 battles in game 7, I almost had a heart attack every time they were about to engage, or in game 6 when naniwa was pushing in I was so scared for Thorzain but he managed to defend, I was so impressed great play from both of the players!

Definitely Game 6 of the finals.
|
What game was nani yelling at chill? I'm going to have watch the vods but anxious to see that lol.
Most memorable for me was Thorzain vs MC on Tal Darim and the Artosis "moment of silence"
Edit: and oh my, how could I forget the "Expand your Horizon" them song. This song will forever be entwined with memories of Thorzain's insanely exciting games.
|
naniwa fake 4 gate into blink on taldarim vs cruncher also the 99 proxy gate vs hasuobs
both those change the meta game of the match up on ladder
|
I have to go with Game 6, too, because I thought it was over when Naniwa attacked, and I was pretty much incoherent when Thorzain finally pushed it back.
Game 7 was really intense though (gj Day9!). Thorzain's push for the win against MC was great. I also really liked the 3rd-place match on Xel'Naga when Kas hit from the back of HasuObs' expo.
|
Day9 solo casting the last match of the finals after Chill had to bow out was pretty epic. He brought so much energy to the game, with two great players going at it, I could just feel the tension, the build up, and then when the gg eventually happened at the end there was this final sense of climax and resolution.

You pretty much took my top 3 there.
I was screaming so loud when thorzain took game 6, firstly because i was cheering for him slightly more than NaNi, and because we got a game 7 on tal'darim.
Game 5 of thorzain vs MC i was screaming pretty loud as well, hehe. Was such a proud moment as a swede tbh.
And Nanis "lolgates" was just completely baller tbh!
To add something of my own i would probably go for the Thorzain vs Kas game on Crevasse (game 5?). That game was such an insane slug-fest. I would really like to see the units-lost-tab at the end of that game! :D
Fucking insane tournament, thank you so much teamliquid!
