I see the score, but can someone give a quick strategic / build order recap of the first three sets?
Thanks! =)
Game 1: Thorzain goes for Marine/Tank on 1base vs 1gate FE, manages to take out the nexus and contain Naniwa. Nani builds up forces for awhile and breaks out, but Thorzain has had his natural up for awhile. Nani brings all his probes and allins but tanks hold for Thorzain (Thor 1-0 Nani).
Game 2: Thorzain busts out Marine/Tank again, but Naniwa goes for fast charge and uses colossi to delay the push. Marines been picked off leaves the tanks more vulnerable, they get cleaned up by a chargelot/colo push. Nani moves to harass with colo/blink stalkers moving up into Thorzain's backyard, killing it, and in the end sets up a solid flank with chargelot/stalker/colo that runs over Thorzain (Thor 1-1 Nani)
Game 3: 1gate FE vs 1rax FE. Nani gets 2 colos, then switches hard to dual upgrades/storms and immortals. Thorzain makes something like a dozen vikings, and Nani pushes with storms and a huge number of chargelots (off 14 or so gates). No EMPs get off as feedbacks land and Thorzain's viking-heavy army is run down by immo/chargelot/storm. (Thor 1-2 Nani)

Naniwa has some incredible blink micro.

seems like nani could have easily won if he had straight up engaged before the tanks came out vs just pure marines.

Whaaaat I cannot honestly believe that this blink play is being held off?!?

And toss players wonder why terrans 1 base it soo much. The power of instant warp-in and chrono boost shut up seriously, naniwa is just really pretty fucking good Yea in a military strategy game...having instant reinforcement close to a battle is not much of a benefit...rolls eyes. Nor is the ability to choose what type of composition you want your reinforcements to be given specific situations instantly. I never said Naniwa wasn't good. Late game toss is the best end game race in the game. That is fact. Terran has to win early to mid-game or bank on the toss player to make dire mistakes. FACT. everything protoss can "instantly warp" is counter by marines/marauders/ghosts/medivacs it's really only a matter of micro at this point, naniwa got the better end this last game
All things being equal (micro) the battle becomes a numbers game and late game for toss their insanely fast army reinforcement puts that factor of the battle in their favor. I never said Naniwa wasn't a beast...he made solid decisions. You are trying to argue that a warp-in mechanic that leads to the fastest army reinforcement in the game is not a benefit for toss? Terran has mules. But you still have to stream your reinforcements across the map during battles. Late game toss is the strongest in the game because the benefit of fast reinforcement when paired with solid micro increases greatly during the late game. It's the game design. Terran must win early or midgame just like Zerg is not designed to win in the early game.

Techlab for Thor's rax, gets stim. Naniwa gets Blink and 2 more gates. 6:00Correction! 4 gate! Proxy Pylon placed! 6:55Thorzain has not sees the Twilight Council. Thorzain barely lifts his depot before the stalker can get into the main and blink in. Naniwa kills a bunker, sneaks around the back and starts attacking the natural. Thorzain pulls his SCVs and MULEs. Naniwa blinks back and keeps warping in units and forcing them down Thorzain's throat.
9:00
Natural OC forced to lift. Tank sniped. Siege not done. Marauders being made. THorzain throws everything at the stalkers. 2 tanks out. Naniwa doesn't snipe the tank barely. Stalkers blink into the main. 3rd tank out. OC landing at the natural again. Tank sniped. SCVs being sniped.
