Question is: can they repeat their results on LAN? So far, nope. Way to come out of your shell when a Korean loses to bait a Europe vs Korea war that is unnecessary.

I disagree

HT used to be answer now there is no answer.
If it favours T, it won't, players will have to adapt. If it favors P, we'll have that amulet removed... wait.

Kas against MC now in finals on Khaldors stream and Kas isnt looking nowhere near as good as Thorzain did in TLS. Although i do believe that Kas TvT is better than Thorzains.

Kas, Thorzain, HasuObs, Cruncher and Naniwa GO GO GO! warcrafters figthing!!! :D

Stop overhyping players who have done nearly nothing that completely underhyped players (MKP, Polt) have done as well. The pro-foreigner bias is crazy.

I fail to see how his macro was better.

Even if Thorzain (or MC) won 3-0, just one series isn't enough to prove who is the better player.
Anyway, Naniwa v Thorzain finals incoming!

Uhm, the way he completely just threw away game 4? He had it won before he went into Mcs main and sacrificed like 6-8 medivacs and his entire army for 2 pylons and a dark shrine. Pretty humongous blunder imo.

Oh gimme a break, Thorzain won
To victor the spoils!

You'd think Voidrays would be the counter to that Thor strategy, but Thorzain had a whole bunch of Vikings out too. I have no idea how to stop that build. Thor/Strike Cannon/repair + blue flame Hellions + Vikings shut down all the Protoss counter compositions that I can think of. If the Terran throws in a Raven, it's even worse with detection and PDD.
Now I'm obviously not a top player, but I've seen a lot of pros lose to this build too. It's extremely strong. I'm not sure why Terrans don't use it more.

I don't know why you are so butt hurt. It was an awesome series.

Also, Polt beat MC TvP too. This is just the latest in his "lose to random terrans" tour. Can we just appreciate what Thorzain has done? Idk how many of you guys followed BW, but things like this just did not happen. Foreigners beating a top Korean? Otherworldly for us old BW fans. Exactly this. It sickens me the whining and excuses we have sometimes. People even tried to blame lag until they realised he was playing in Europe. Mad props to Thorzain. Europe's best kept secret until now <3
lol...foreigners beat top Koreans quite a lot during the beginning of BW, as anyone who is aware of even a modicum of BW history knows.
