Guy loses 3-2 in extremely hard fought back-and-forth series, is "clearly the better player". Love it!

Other than the strategic blunders, yes. How do you think it was a close series despite those blunders?


How can someone be "clearly the better player" if they make several strategic blunders?

OTHER THAN THEM. God, how many times do I need to rewrite that? His micro/macro etc were better. His builds, upgrade timing etc were not at all.


Sorry, I did miss that part. In that case it's kind of a poor way to put it, why not say that Thorzain had much better builds and upgrades while MC had better micro/macro? That seems less likely to draw fire from the internet and doesn't take away from Thorzain's ability as a player.

Edit: I'd also say that having better timing than MC is pretty damn impressive.


IMO MC's templar and stalker micro are way more impressive than just picking the right build order. Thorzain will probably never have MC's unit control or ability to control the map, whereas someone like Jinro can just tell MC to build forges earlier and his weakness is instantly solved.
During practice session, I discovered very good build against zerg. -Bisu[Shield]

I love MC so I'm sad that he lost. That last game was disappointing. Watching 1 sided battles because of incorrect unit composition is ugly

The EMP stuff from ThorZain in game 4 is the winner for the next "pimpest play"-video. He was so much behind in really everything and could tie up the game with this.
Love it.

Yea, except that at ALL other moments in the game his ghosts didn't EMP anything / were sniped by templars before they could. How MC can target individual ghosts that quickly is a bit "pimper" imho.

Man, Kas' TvP certainly isn't as good as Thorzain's, that's for sure.

On the other hand, it's Kas' first offline tournament, so I suppose he's really nervous.

ThorZain is exceptional at TvP, but I think Kas has stronger TvT. They're both awesome players, but advantage Kas

Please stop bickering guys, this series was freaking awesome. Both MC and ThorZain demonstrated that they are among the best of the best. Game 4 was maybe the greatest game played in this game's young history. Let it rest.

dunno why all the hate is going to Thorzain...regardless of who is "better player" or not, the kid played brilliantly in the match sets and in the end status has nothing to do with it. Kid deserves respect, he earned it


I don't think people are hating. It's just some pseudo argument over who is the better player and some people expressing doubts on Thorzain's abilities. Just try to ignore the posts you don't agree with, it's only opinions (something I should do as well )

Sorry ^_^

Thorzain came up with great builds, I'm not taking anything from him. However I haven't found his mechanics notable (not bad, just not notable) so I don't know how he'll hold up once people adapt. In particular how will he do against people who upgrade early and don't respond badly to funky builds?


wait what? He had +2/+2 even under harassement and kept his macro going, isn't that good mechanic?

But then MC has to save more units so his forge can afford those upgrade. Saving stalkers and sentry while playing MC's agressive style is actually hard against marauders :/.

He is basically unexperienced in LAN-Events.

He play normally way better than this.

That annoys me as well. Give credit to TZ for busting out the mech at the right moment though

I think people need to stop taking sides in the last matchup. Fanboyism will just avert you from the fact that every game played in that series was PvT at its finest level, and a great fucking matchup regardless of who came out on top.
