Gj thorzain! I really need to stop doubting you but if Naniwa gets into the finals... it will be tough, I'll just say that. :D

It would be kind of fun it he came in again as the underdog after having gone through probably the toughest path of the bracket.

ThorZaIN is an android sent from the future to destroy everyone and everything with his super advanced mechanics and strategies.

Yeah definitely. It's so weird that he came up against everyone as underdogs and completely dominated them.

I do think that Naniwa will be his toughest match though. Naniwa will probably practice just as hard as thorzain will, and naniwa's PvT is tough to beat. Hasuobs would also be an extremely tough opponent, but his play looks a little bit behind naniwa.

Harder than MC?

Naniwa could be harder than MC, since MC's play had several holes in it that Thorzain exploited very well (ie his lack of upgrades). Naniwa, on the other hand, would be preparing for Thorzain, and Naniwa's mechanics are definitely up there with the best. Not to mention, Naniwa is more proven on LAN in SC 2, since he did win MLG.

That said, Thorzain has proven people wrong every time they called him the underdog going into a match. So in no way does this suggest Naniwa will crush Thorzain. Rather, it's more to say that it will be an epic match that will hopefully showcase some new strategies, as these two often do.

You guys are talking as if Naniwa has already won against hasuobs lol. That match is pretty 50-50, hasuobs is really good too. Thorzain has sufficient LAN experience anyway from wc3, he was a blizzcon invitee

Yes, that's assuming Naniwa gets through HasuObs, who is kind of like Thorzain in that he prepares a lot for a match-up. While HasuObs hasn't been as successful as Naniwa, I feel like if he gets through Naniwa he'll be just as much of a challenge against Thorzain.

Yeah Hasuobs is flying really low under the radar here. Naniwa is defiantly the favourite but Hasuobs have a decent chance to win I'd say.

What a Cinderella story! Those were some amazing games, loved his play, it was just handsome like him. Now you can see why Chill has such a crush on him. Thorazain Fighting!
