I think Thorzain has a lot more data about kas than kas has about thorzain. the last tvt i've seen thorzain playing was against ClouD and he won 2-0 in the TSL qualifier. it will be close...

i like both player so it's hard for me to choose.

It would truly be a achievement for ThorZaiN to reach the finals, maybe one of those guys you saw at the begin of the tournament and you thought for yourself that this guy shouldnt reach so far. But ThorZaiN has earned my respect, and I hope he wins this semifinal even thought Kas is probably the scariest guy for him to face yet as his TvT is his worst MU and Kas best MU is TvT!

Rooting for the underdog!

How bummed I will be if Thorzain loses can only be overshadowed by how elated I will be if he wins!

ThorZaIN fighting!!

Since round 1 I wanted those two in the grand finals. Oh well, Thorzain got good recognition already, Kas goes 4:2 and wins the whole thing, gets invited to Team Liquid and goes to Korea to showcase European manliness, while the swede is never looked over when invitations for big tourneys (NASL) are sent and wins a fuckton of money himself. Yep, I'm a prophet :}

As always, the odds and past statistics suggest that Thorzain might go out here. But isn't that what we've said every round now? Thorzain has proven over and over that he's one of the very best players out there. This time he's not just playing vs a strong opponent though, but he also has to overcome his statistically largest weakness.

While the lack of Koreans and NA players might have a negative impact on the total viewership (I hope not) it'll be one outrageously out of control epic conclusion to TSL :D

interestingly, if this was wc3 then it would be 2 times mirror matchups as well! Naniwa and Hasuobs were undead players while Kas and Thorzain were human players! ^^

Kas is probably going to be ThorZain's toughest match-up. Haven't seen the kid's TvT so I don't know how good he's gonna be but Kas is a TvT monster. Look out ThorZain.

Unfortunately I can't watch because I have a bbq ( you know you are a nerd when you prefer sitting inside watching tsl instead of bbq outside in 25degrees)

you know you're a nerd when you try to convince people that you're not a nerd on the TL.net forums. :D

ThorZain has really earned a spot in the finals with the run he's had. It's quite funny that he is the underdog yet again despite the players he has beaten. But if he climbes this mountain he will definately be the favourite in the final, playing his best matchup. If Kas wins, it will really open up for naniwa.

Thorzain vs naniwa would probably make the best games, hopefully they will advance

Yeah Kas is awesome, but Thorzains run is even better.
