ThorZaiN is just unbelievable, for several times I'd think he'll just fall behind that much but the vikings change everything!

750 gas for 5 VRs + 150 gas for a stargate = 800 gas not going towards upgrades. Its no surprise he lost and it wasnt anything brilliant by thorzain, he was just tasked with not screwing up. Its just the casters excitement transferring over

I think MC could've won that big battle in game 2, he could've beaten the big 2-2 upgrade push if he wasn't horrifically out of position. HTs too far behind, stalkers getting pummelled without zealots to protect them, forcefields no longer being useful due to the lack of stalkers...

I think Psi Storm was exactly the right thing to do. If you're against a more upgraded force, you have to get around the upgrades using spells which don't take them into account. Shame MC wasn't able to capitalise on it though.


He has had really poor engagements in both games so far. Not the kind of army control I'm used to seeing from him. I really hope he plays better in game 3, otherwise he gets rolled by 2-2 bio again

Oh man, I'm having a huge banana grin on my face. Awesome games from him. I'm pretty sure MC is playing on the European server as well.
This post is clearly not a hurr, as you can see from the graph, the durr never intersects with the derp.

Everyone's looking for excuses for MC He won dreamhack some week back, he's in the finals (is it over) at Copenhagen and he is losing to Thorzain if this goes on. Thorzain plays well, end of story.

lol, Chill and Artosis going on about how useless the vikings are, utterly worthless, forgetting that they absolutely crunch up chargelots.


They are pretty bad against chargelots when they fly around looking for collosi with a big ':s' across their face.

I'm pretty sure Thorzain didn't even know about MC's composition. He was trying to find the collosi to shoot at and even used two scans on MC's army just before engaging.

Why are people still whining about lag?
Seems like MC isnt experiencing any lag issues in these games.
Thorzain is just outplaying MC.

Having to mortgage yourself to get HTs just to hold and be behind for the time it takes for them to be able to do anything besides stare at a battle while the Terran can make blind vikings which are only useful on the ground surely has nothing to do with this.


Indeed! It has everything to do with sitting on 0/0/0 upgrades, no charge, and no blink.


Eh, he had charge.

Go ThorZaIN!

And thankfully this is played on EU server so none of this "it was because of lag".

This could end up being an awesome week if oth ThorZaIN and Kas beats MC. I like MC, but I have to cheer for my EU mates friends.


So MC was in Euro b/c of the copenhagen games, and this was played on the euro server, correct? So zero lag?

IMO as Protoss if someone is 2 full upgrades ahead of you on both attack and armor you've made a pretty huge error. MC has made a pretty huge error in both games. Looking very mortal.

Hes just not used to it, koreans do not rush for upgrades nearly as quickly in korea. Unfortunatley if he hasnt noticed hes losing because of upgrades yet, hes not the great player i thought he was.

hey mc ill tell you a secret, it doesnt matter if you outplay your opponent. If you dont get upgrades, you will just lose, its way more important to be up on upgrades as a protoss then it is for a terran as well, having 1,0 against 2,2 you wont win, even if the opponent has 28 useless supply in vikings.

Upgrades arent as prevalent in korea, but he needs to adjust his play, its pretty ridiculous he hasnt figured it out after game 1.

It is ridiculous top korean tvp and pvt players shouldn't have figured that out by now
