The TSL has probably become the most important StarCraft tournament outside of South Korea with a prize purse of $10,000. Half of it goes to Canada, although it certainly seemed like Draco would take first place.

The Polish player went 2-0 up after winning on Othello and Blue Storm, but then lost on Wuthering Heights, Zodiac and Othello.

"I would've never thought I was going to make it this far," said IefNaij in an interview with TeamLiquid. "I thought maybe 16th-4th at most. I guess I exceeded my own expectations and I'm glad."

Third place went to Pawel "BRAT_OK" Kuznetsov who beat Tyler "NonY" Wasilieski. The top 4 of the TSL were three Protoss players and one Terran (BRAT_OK).

The final standings are as follows:
1) Jianfei "IefNaij" Wang - $5,000
2) Krzysztof "Draco" Nalepka - $2,000
3) Pawel "BRAT_OK" Kuznetsov - $1,000
4) Tyler "NonY" Wasilieski - $500
