So I was watching MC vs. ThorZain.

I've always been (and still am) a huge MC fan. But for some reason I found myself cheering for ThorZain halfway through their first match.

After the second game, I was rooting for ThorZain to take the series. So I guess I'm a fan!

Such a sick terran. I also need to avoid a ban, so sign me up!

Wikipedia says

In Norse polytheism, Thor (from Old Norse Þórr) is a hammer-wielding god associated with thunder, lightning, storms, oak trees, strength, destruction, fertility, healing, and the protection of mankind.

In Starcraft 2, ThorZain is a 250 mm Strike Cannon wielding god associated with macro, micro, cloaked ghosts dropping EMPs to prevent psi storms, destruction, SCV repairing, and the protection of foreigners against an over-arrogant Protoss.

ThorZain FIGHTING!

So Jaedong is the legend killer and MMA is the legend killer of SC2.

I think ThorZaIN is the God (of War) Killer. Good job ThorZaIN for defeating FruitDealer, Tyler and MC!

Someone should have a picture of thorzain that says
"1 time GSL winner? 2-0'ed him"
"TSL 2 winner? 3-0'ed him"
"2 time GSL winner? 3-2'ed him"
BRING ME A 3 TIME GSL WINNER

Thorzain is unbelievably good. It's just unfortunate that my two favorite top non-korean Terrans will be facing off this TSL3 Ro4 (Thorzain vs Kas). But a least we will see one of them in the finals. And if its BoxeR vs Thorzain/Kas I'll shit bricks! XD

Anyone know where I can get the latest replays of Thorzain?

Maybe you'll have to add "SCBW legend? X-X'ed him" soon.

The funny thing is, with every match he plays, Thorzain's reputation rises, but he's still the underdog with each next match-up. In this case, I think an objective, rational observer would have to give the edge to Kas in a TvT series.

(I'm not objective, though. Thorzain FTW!)

Thorzain's play doesn't just look good, it feels good, though I was getting nervous after game 4 (which was still an amazing game). Makes terran look super good, and makes me wish I had a tenth of his skill

Kas is gonna be a really strong opponent... Kas is one of the best players in Europe and his TvT is godly... but its thorzains weakest matchup!

Tbh I rate Kas as a stronger opponent than MC even for thorzain :< Cheering for thorzain!

After the way he played against MC today, Thorzain really deserves to win the TSL.

ThorZaIN probably has the hardest bracket. I actually bet on him against MC as his BOs, execution, agression and defense are all top notch in TvP, and as he had shown against Fruitdealer, they are great in TvZ as well. I am just hoping his great fundamentals translate into TvT as well and that he's able to give us another great match, but I am afraid for him, because Kas is a TvT monster. With Kas' other match-ups I get the feeling he makes very little mistakes and keeps an excellent macro, but in his TvT not only does Kas do nothing wrong, he does everything right and plays near perfection. Best of luck to to ThorZaIN in that match and thanks for providing by far the most entertaining matches in the TSL.

Go to youtube.

Find Thorzain-MC game 4.

Fast-forward to minute 18:45.

Look at a Terran army at 150 supply facing a Protoss army at 200 supply.

Keep on watching until 19:30. Watch what happens for 2 minutes.

Artosis speechless.

Anyone know where I can obtain Thorzain vs MC replay? Not the VOD with commentary.
