Rogue improved his perfect record in grand finals to seven-for-seven, crushing Stats in the Code S Season 2 finals by a 4-1 scoreline. Rogue's aggressive and creative side had shined in his recent matches, but playing a predictable and orthodox opponent like Stats gave him a golden opportunity to remind everyone about his skills in more standard games. Stats didn't have any strategies planned to take Rogue out of his comfort zone, which let Rogue beat him convincingly in several macro games to begin the series. Of course, it wouldn't

In the summer of 2011, Swedish Terran ThorZaiN went from no-name to superstar overnight, defeating players such as FruitDealer, MC, and NaNiwa to win TeamLiquid Starleague 3. From there on out, ThorZaiN continued to be one of the most popular Terrans of early StarCraft II, even joining the Evil Geniuses-Team Liquid team to play in South Korea's Proleague. Then, in a move that was as abrupt as it was low-key, ThorZaIN retired from professional play in 2014.TL.net's Wax caught up with ThorZaIN nine years after his TSL3 run to reminisce

by OrlokDespite earlier hopes that pros returning from retirement might shake things up in the Code S title picture, this season has come down to a three way battle between three very familiar faces in Legacy of the Void. The grizzled, non-military veterans still reign supreme—Rogue has planted his flag in the finals first, while TY and Stats will face off for the right to face him in the championship match.It’s in the nature of fans to always want and expect more from players. We expect players to stay on

by MizenhauerStarCraft II was always destined for great things.Its predecessor, Brood War, was the product of a bygone era where game developers weren’t concerned with balancing the game for full-time professionals, the concept of esports was mostly limited to a convention center in Mesquite, Texas and most people didn’t even have high speed internet. None of that mattered six-thousand miles away from Blizzard headquarters in South Korea, where Brood War became an unprecedented cultural phenomenon. An economic downturn, the proliferation of net cafes and high speed internet, and plain dumb

The North project is one of the more interesting in recent CS:GO history. For those who don’t know, the Danish team was originally formed and funded using VC from a number of European sources, with the majority of the funding provided by FC Copenhagen, one of the top teams in the Danish Superliga, and traditionally one of Denmark’s best football sides.This created a lot of headlines and excitement about the prospect of two world-class teams in the country, and fans latched on the angle of ‘professional sports team invests into

The event structure is standard fare, but it brings some new teams to the table and affords them an opportunity against some of the best in the world. One of the most interesting newcomers is Infinity Esports, a Peruvian-majority squad that came together in April and has been looking to establish itself on the South American circuit.
