NonY: "I knew I could win that game"
NonY is the only TeamLiquid player still in the tournament, after seeing HuK and TLO crash out early. The American Protoss has his mind set on the final.
Tyler "NonY" Wasieleski defeated JunHyuk "inCa" Song to advance in first seed to the playoff. This after having lost to DaBoO in the group.
- "I'm so satisfied and relieved, my tournament life was on the line. I knew coming in, when I saw the group, I could win that game. I was never that worried about it but I didn't know how great my chances were so once I clutched it I was very relieved."
- "I felt I had a good chance of advancing, but then the order of games I played, I beat GoOdy and lost to DaBoO then I had inCa last so that was kinda scary after I lost to DaBoO," says NonY.
RESULTS: Group stage
- "DreamHack is awesome, I knew everything, what to expect, but it's just more. More excitement, more people and more stuff going on. It's just such an amazing events, so DreamHack like totally exceeded my expectations," says NonY, adding "DreamArena is awesome".
NonY also went through the first round of the playoffs, taking out the "sixpooler Dane" ActionJesus by a 2-1 score. Tomorrow morning he will play the Intel Extreme Masters Americas champion Jian Carlo "Fenix" Morayra Alejo.

Missing the Thanksgiving while at DreamHack, the interviewer asked NonY what he was thankful for, and aside from reaching this far in the tournament, he showed heart and mentions his supportive family.
- "I'm thankful for having a supportive family I guess, that understands that when I need to miss a holiday they're okay with it, they'll live with it, and still cheer for me while I'm here," says NonY.
