i think this tourney was great for him. people forget tvz is his weakest MU and beating ret is something he used to never do. Great showing tzain gl in the next one

Most likely the MSI Pro Cup #6. Check the first post once in a while. I try to keep it as updated as I can.
I know ladder achievements aren't all that great, especially for a player of Thorzain's caliber. But I find myself impressed that at least for the moment he's Top 4 in EU ladder. What makes it more interesting is a couple days ago he was at 40 losses. As of right now, he's still at 40 losses and got over 10 more wins to elevate himself at where he's ranked.
ThorZaIN will participate in the $25k Iron Squid Tournament, which features Ro16 group stage, Ro8 online playoffs and the semi-finals and the final will be played offline in Paris. Since the organizer is french like the ones who made the Across the Galaxy tournament, maybe ThorZaIN can pull another victory here. I will definitly cheer for him =]

ThorZaIN is called that because he often takes a long while to finish his opponents off, just like it would take a long while to kill someone with a spoon. ThorZaIN's games, mostly his TvZs, often revolves around him gradually wearing the other player down by chipping away at his economy bit by bit. This video is highly related and describes Spoon Killing:
It's funny how well it has caught on. ThorZaIN himself often references it.

Hey, no problem. Added it in the OP aswell.
would be cool if you added the Master Jane explanation too, with a sound file from the gsl voice probably. somehow every time i say master jane i have to laugh.
