Did 1.3.3 really buff toss that much? I haven't been keeping completely up to date with SC2, could someone fill me in on this? I thought the biggest patch changes had to do with the anti-4Gate pylon radius change and archons being massive - does that make them game changing vs T due to marauders having a harder time vs them or something?

I think Thorzain will win. His preparation is second to none. He seems to the kind of player that could win any tournament as long as he has time to prepare, he is super smart player.

After 4 games Thorzain has finally stopped being the underdog.

The changes in 1.3.3 are insignificant for the TvP match-up. The archon tech tree is fairly unexplored and also the tournament is approaching in 3 days, so Nani will need to make a build quickly if he is going to use Archons. Saying that the 1.3.3 patch will change the match-up in favor of Nani doesn't make logical sense.

BTW GOGO THORZAIN!!!

Definitely rooting for Thorzain, but something tells me Nani will take the series
You can think I'm wrong, but that's no reason to quit thinking.

Naniwa is steam rolling right now. I have no way of seeing him lose this.

I can't see Naniwa being able to crack Thorzain. Nothing seems to throw him off, and in a long term game Thorzain will pull the W.

The Thor nerf might tip the scales though to the point where Thorzain loses by one game. Ghost buff and Archon buff balance themselves out, and Warpgate research nerf only means that Thorzain definitely won't be beaten early.

Gotta Agree with Komentaja.
The Changes from the patch might throw both players off a bit, but hopefully some practice will kiil most of the posible mistakes. I see ThorZain taking it! but something is telling me that Naniwa will take a few games. looking forward to a great series! FistPump!
...should have scouted better

Thorzain is going to take this. I think it's just solid vs solid and Thorzain seems more solid.

Both are awesome players, and I've got alot of respect for Naniwa, but Thorzain has been on such good form, all of his games are just disturbing as he builds counters for the units that his opponent will be building in the next minute lol.

what the, you people don't really think Thorzain is gonna beat Nani


Thorzain could beat anyone. Koreans look like bronze players compared to him. TSL2 Champion bites the dust.. best european terran can't defeat thorzaine in his weakest matchup.

Hes going to own.

T-Zain's always played in the comfort of his own home, and this will be his first major LAN he will visit in a long time (I dunno what he did in his wc3 days), but he'll have butterflies in the size of elephants, while Naniwa will be cool as a cucumber.
Naniwa 4-1.
