There was nothing wrong with nanis macro in G7 other than maybe not enough gates. It's normal to float and wait for a full warp in since we can't que. His problem was not attacking straight up when he had far superior force and no vikings or two were on feild and no ghost. He could have walked through thorzains base but I'm not sure nani had and observer to realize just how superior his army was...need to rewatch

GSL wasn't as bad as it was terribly one sided in Nestea's favour, and lacked entertainment value. Thankfully TSL delivered the fix i needed for my SC addiction !

tdt, Naniwas macro and play in game 7 was atrocious. He consistently threw away units that he shouldn't have, and he consistently went over 2,000 minerals on two base. He just played loads worse than game than games 1-6. There is no getting around that. I think he was off put because his 4 gate didn't work.

Being said, THORZAIN FTW!

He was off because it was the last game in the series. Everything came down to that last game.. & unfortunately crumbled under the pressure. I think NaNiwas the better player but how he takes this loss will define him forever.

Is this his biggest loss to date?

And also an interesting question: Up 3-1, did he crumble? Or did thorzain step up when he was down 1-3?

Absolutely 100% true. The GSL finals were the worst shit i've seen in sc2 so far i think. I was so mad at Inca for taking a Spot in the finals and making it terribly boring.

Yeah after period I was talking about sure his macro sucked for a bit, He should have expanded or built more gates if he was not going to attack but just harrass. My point was his poor decision making lost him match not macro. Because even once nani got marco up to par with more gates and expanding and had superior army again to Thors 3 barracks he waffled again in middle of map. Thor was trapped down low when taking out nanis third expo. Not only did nani let thors reinforcements sneak right past him he just sat there not base trading which he would have easily won nor going after thors inferior army which he would have easily won.

I don't know I turned off GSL one and a half games into it. May have gotten better but I doubt it. The worst TSL games were better than what I saw. And the final OMG!!

Hmm I would say both. Every game naniwa won but game 4 he won with his macro build. Then when he won with that all in on terminus he tried all inning again game 5-6 if i recall. i think if he had played his normal style after winning on terminus he probably would have won. But thorzain stepped up as well having some good decision making.

I was personally very happy to see thorzain win :D

It was an incredible series. Naniwa's decisions game 7 didn't take away from the game, it made it more intense. The two players were incredibly equally matched and it created an incredible final series.

cant believe people are blaming Chill for Naniwa losing. So if Thorzain lost g7 then we should've blamed Chill for that?

Naniwa raging @Chill was uncalled for I am sure Chill did not want to lag the game out, that is BattleNet for you though.

Best series of Sc2 I've ever seen. I couldn't stay up for the games so I avoided spoilers the next day and loaded up the vods when I got home from university.

When ThorZaiN broke the contain in game 6 ... when he started to come back from the 1-3 disadvantage ... and every single moment of game 7, holy shit was I on the edge of my seat!

Massive props to ThorZaiN and NaNiwa for providing the most entertaining series ever. And, of course, MASSIVE-ER props again to ThorZaiN for completing the Cinderalla story and taking the finals!

You need to rewatch again then, because his macro was terrible. We was clearly tilted as he floated to 2200 mins and went up to 10 gate because of the slip. He also got no upgrades or tech other than colossus comparared to when he did the same build on shakuras and got upgrades and templars.

Watch closer.
