In PvT on a map like crossfire it seems so difficult to attack into your opponents army, if they're holding the watch towers in the centre, once they have ghosts or templar unless you have a much a bigger army. Thorzain should have sat on his 3 bases once he killed MC's army and held the centre. But he got overeager and gave MC the lead, so MC held the centre instead.

Its unfortunate, every time they've played since TSL Thorzain has generally played well, but he makes critical errors that cost him the game. MC makes good players look bad, and I don't think Thorzain ever looks plain bad when he plays him, so I have a lot of hope for him in the future.

MC is not the best PvP in the world.

PvP is all about micro, and nobody can micro like MC. So , he is.


Micro is a lot in pvp, but the matchup is more about build order I think.

Am I naïve to hope that stephano can win against MC, or this tourney is already won ?


Stephano has a chance considering he 2-0'ed Huk pretty well yesterday. Stephano has to come back from the loser's bracket if he wants to advance though since Thorzain knocked him out earlier. But Huk and MC are 2 different players. Though I think he has as good a chance as any since he sorta had Thorzain's level of anonymity during TSL3, just now people are learning more and more about Stephano. MC could underestimate him too.

MC is not the best PvP in the world.

Who is then?

Alicia is better, and maybe even Inca.


Uhh, look at winrates. Winning in one Bo3 does not mean they're better.... in that case TSLRain has better TvZ then Nestea's ZVT and Inca has also said he barely ever beats MC.

MC so damn good. How did Thorzain manage to beat him in TSL?

Thor werent nerfed, and Thorzain was playing overall better then and mc was slumping

Yes they were. They were basically made useless vs. Toss late game because they were given energy which can be feedbacked.

Looks like you haven't watched Alicia against MC, he got OUTMICROED so hard

No, if you watched it you would see MC holding out despite being almost a full warp cycle behind. One bo3 doesnt make you a better player.

Thorzain's play seem worse than before, unfortunately. Not nearly as much harassment, very little risk-taking, and not fully exploiting the map. Still good micro and macro, still some decent engagements, but not the brilliance he displayed in TSL.

That sort of brilliance can only be expected if someone gets to prepare for maps and opponent specifically it's not so fair to him to keep comparing his TSL games to current tournament level. He isn't worse as a player just the factors from the tournament automatically make it so that it will be a bit worse.


Even though this is true, mc does not to play any worse. At least so it seems.


MC is a very adaptive player. This was shown at MLG when he lost to Idra convincingly the first day, then basically downloaded Idra's playstyle like a robot and crushed him when they played again.

Thorzain is clearly a player who is very good once he has time to prepare for a match. Which is why he will excel at GSL.


Adaptive as in the second day he wasn't jetlagged no more and thus stomp Idra?

Actually, he is.

nope, alicia and inca > mc @ pvp


Alicia just because he beat MC once in a matchup that no matter how dominant one may be, it's still a coinflip? And Inca has good PvP but he doesn't really have tournament results to back it up.
