Oh, Creator. You had so much promise. Having three Grandmaster accounts with 75% winning percentage. Beating up top players in online tournaments. Getting hyped by MarineKing and the rest of your teammates. Destroying players in Code A and making your teammate Maru look like a scrub. Everything looked right for a royal road run like Squirtle last season. He had finally matured into a player who could take on Code S after making his first big splash in the Super Tournamnet last year, but it wasn't meant to be.

Sorry for seeming like a dick, but I have a pet peeve for spelling mistakes in articles =)

I actually think GSL should be the best tournament format for Thorzain, so I really think he has a chance. He took Polt out in the finals at Dreamhack

You just wait!

I guess ThorZain had to go to MLG to show of the new EG colors, but I would have loved to see him going to Korea early and make full preparations for GSL instead. Just winning a few maps of GSL is worth so much more than going to MLG, in my mind. Would be so cool if he could make himself justice in the games, the way GSL should be played! Anyway, I hope he does great! ThorZain fighting!

I think Thorzain has a far greater chance than it's said here. Sure Thorzain not looking the strongest in PvT lately, but as one of the only in the world, when it finally gets to lategame vs colosus, storm and archon, which is where squirtle often seems to go, Thorzain actually manages to be on equal fotting, due to simply never be hit by storm it often seems.

Though, if he is too hard hit with jetlag etc. that might not be the case, but I still tihnk your looking a bit too poorly upon Thorzain, I think he has a decent chance. But we will see very soon

I love ThorZAIN but just don't see him getting out of this group. That won't stop me from rooting for him, though. ThorZAIN/Keen fighting~!

I am so incredibly happy I got to see this live :D. Got to sit and watch the King of Zerg NesTea and I got a high-five from NaniWa! :D

Damn I am so happy for Naniwa. I bet he will have a little smile when Thorzain is kicked out of this private club.

His [Squirtle] overconfidence after thwarting Mvp's cheese rush caused him to lose a game that was 95% in the bag, but he could go into this tournament thinking "well, as long as I'm not that stupid again, there's no reason I can't win it all."

Ow.

It'd only be fair if Keen gets cheesed out of this season of Code S. Just ridiculous!

Seeing Terrans obliged to cheese in order to win against Protoss (knowing a macro game is ridiculously hard) is freaking sad.

And a little funny too.

I will cheer for thorzain, but naniwa and your mature personality? I don't think so. =[

Downside about being so over-achieved on ladder is that your replays are everywhere. Creator definite cannot win against some of the pros that are really reactive to each player's playstyles. He has no surprise to his game. I still thought he would win ro32, but eh guess not.

Go Naniwa, I still don't like him but he is well on his way to back up that ego of his.

Not too excited about this group. The matches seem all too one-sided.

Yeah! Gogogo Thorazain, I'm just happy that he atleast automake it from the first round of code A to, so that we guarantee see him in the next GSL

I'm confused. Are you talking about aLive as the greatest player in SC2 history or was that a different finals?

Did any of you guys see that match where Nestea sent his queen all the way across antiga to try a spine rush without lair tech against Creator? Definitely one of the funniest builds I've seen in GSL, might've worked if he wasn't indecisive about bringing a second queen to fend off zealots while tumor and spine spawns.

I really want to try this on the ladder HAHA. Yeah, second queen would've made it a done deal. The creep tumor was so close to finishing.

Think you forgot, "[..]Yes, we thought he wouldn't go through to next round.".

I really enjoyed the "True, he is old." "True he hasn't been placed on top in foreigner tournaments", and all the other true. And furthermore trying to make it a magical night, as if he elevated himself.
