I realize it's unlikely that any foreigner will take games off Koreans here, but if upsets happen, they happen at TSL. My personal little dream would be another Thorzain vs Naniwa finals. Taken to the last map. Oh yeaaah.

Damn, Ret and Sase have pretty Damn tough matchups, hopefully Naniwa can do well, and perhaps Thorzain, though he isn't as exposed versus the Koreans... And only one PvP!

Agree with this person, Ret and SaSe are going to have a hard time. Naniwa's road seems to hit of at a good start atleast, that of Thorzain aswell.

Taeja has a good chance of going really far here, hoping for the best! Should be a great set of games, stoked.

From the past TSL Top 3 I think Naniwa has the better bracket to get Top 3 again (if all plays out), and even reach the finals.

I'm not buying VortiX nor Creator, and people have no confidence in Ret, I think he'll beat Squirtle if he comes out with the right mindset.

creator/squirtle are both top 5 protoss in the world right now, rets pretty decent but he is definitly the underdog going into that match, while creator has the hardest bracket but still is a great pick to advance. also vortix is pretty decent, and he did not get an incredibly hard bracket side. naniwa will have a chance to reach top 3 easily becuz his side of the brackets is the easiest, however never count out keen and hyun.

Taeja has a ridiculously nice bracket. Beyond his first game I think liquid should set his goal for a finals spot anything less might be a disappointment for such a star.

Just did my predictions, Creator winning 4-3 over HyuN in the final. I hope there's an official Bracket contest like last time

Go Creator!!

Who's casting TSL4? If Chill is casting it, I'm buying TSL+.

EDIT: Nvm, it's explained in Liquipedia

I like the fact that there are players from all sorts of teams. Also, Ret will have to face Squirtle in his first round... must have faith! I'm rooting for Ret this TSL!

Little bias for Europeans but since its online KR's should have some lag issues!
