Thorzain didn't use any gimmicky strats, or special unknown builds. 3 games he used standard BIO builds. 1 game he tried a 1 base Rine/Tank/banshee build, and the last game he used his patented Thor build, that MC must have studied, or deserved to lose for lack of preperation. Lets not downgrade Thorzain's performance with pettiness. He played very standard TvP, and simply outplayed MC. He exhibited mechanics the equal of MC, and enough variety to not be a 1 trick pony. His victory was Impressive, and will go down as one of the greatest matches thus far in SC2 history. Congratulations to both for giving TSL a thoroughly exciting match, with amazing skill and excitment. | ||

Mech play is all-innish because if you lose your army it takes forever to get them back and you can't really retreat with slow Thors. But I'd say that Thorzain was planning ahead and could afford to since his build is gas-heavy and floats a lot of minerals. | ||

Why can't you appreciate the fact that a relatively unknown foreign player takes out two former GSL champions in FruitDealer and MC through extremely entertaining games? What is wrong with hyping this? Back in the days we couldn't even fathom with the idea of even the best foreigner beating a top Korean. Thorzain is doing something truly special, and I really don't get what your problem is. It deserves the hype. He has earned it. I wonder if he would've talked like this back when foreigners took games off of koreans in bw, the community these days makes me sad. | ||

MC's I think took Thor to lightly - seems to be a reoccurring problem with him and probably didn't study, but then again can't win them all, and Thor played fantastic. | ||

Pretty much the same concept as toss deathballs then, I wouldn't really call it allinish for that reason. | ||

No one other than idiots are trying to denigrate Thorzain's accomplishments. HE played great - that's all there is to it. Using words like "amazing skill" and "one of the greatest matches thus far in SC2 history" to describe this, however, is going a bit too far. Reminds me of all of the fawning Boxer is getting for simply winning these days, while exhibiting laughably bad mechanics at times. | ||
