Really really tough luck for mr. T at dreamhack. He went 3-2, losing the 2 series to #1 and #2 in his group. The first one was against July, a supertight series that went to a game 3. The second one against Hasu which was just as close and went to a game 3 as well. I watched all the games and it was soooooooo close! On a better day he would have won either of those series and advanced.

So brutal. HasuObs is really in good shape today.

I feel Terran is having a downtime recently and MLG/Dreamhack did prove it.

GSL Super Tournament? All of the semi finals were Terran... And btw a Terran won MLG.

If anything you are the noob. He's right and you are too lazy to think of counterarguments (hint: there aren't any

)

I'd agree that Terran is the weakest race currently. I think its fairly obvious that Terrans are having an extremely hard time in ZvT, TvP can be very fragile, due to the quick tech switches protoss can do, giving you useless supply in vikings, and just the overall late game splash damage of Protoss is extremely powerful. I think ThorZain did amazingly, especially since hes got problems with his hands atm. The way dreamhacks brackets work are also very weird, but nonetheless, I hope ThorZain takes the Homestory cup to prove TSL3 was not a fluke (which it obviously wasn't, but he has said he wants to prove that)

Thorzain, you did a great job at DH. Tough group as everybody said just because of the outcome of each match. (Even if you had beaten July 2-1 you were still out of the tournament and that's not cool) I'm not sure of this because i don't know the exact rules when there is a 4-1 triple tie. All matches you lost were soo close and that makes you a winner. GL at the GSL!

I wouldn't really call protoss tech switches fast, as they're the slowest race in the game at switching tech, but ok.
Twilight council, templar archives and storm research is probably one of the slowest techs in the game, and it's largely considered suicide to get it even on two bases because of the large timing window, whereas terrans can get ghosts on one base.
I'd just say he had a bad day, and he had an almost impossible time playing at MLG as he couldn't leave the venue to get food, so I'd definitely say he's a beast and a force to be reckoned with. I'd love to see if the decides to stay longer in Korea, as that'd pump up his skills even more for sure.
Thorzain fighting.
