Ridiculous for people criticizing Thorzain for making vikings.

yeah, I don't play competitively but it's internet warriors who love saying that ultras are useless in the first place

ThorZain should of course have scanned for what DRG was planning.... but didnt really count on ultra's either..... Hope ThorZain can put up a good fight and still make it a 3-2

Annnnd that's why double upgrades vs Terran is almost always necessary.

I believe if DRG is able to better react to the blue flame hellion/marine elevator drop, he'll be set up for a perfect mid-game.

He seems to be handling it better each game though.

Well that hurt to watch for Thorzain, so much he could have did better, but understand that there is a lot of pressure on him to perform well.

Hoping we don't see a 3-1 here, but have a feeling that is going to happen.

Kinda out of context, but your signature is wrong. The quote is ''on a scale from Sheth to Idra''

ThorZaIN makes blind Vikings in both TvP and TvZ

He doesn't make blind vikings lol.
Did you see his games against Hero?
He had like pure medivacs :o
he did "near" blind vikings in TvP before the archon patch I guess, when every protoss was going colossus anyways

Thorzain messed up his micro. He could've killed about 10 more drones but let them get away.

ghosts are also quite good late game since snipe is good vs ultras and broodlords and emp is good vs infestors

Marines and marauders, mostly marauders if they have all the armor upgrades for the ultras. Ultras are very good in a situation like that were there are a decent amount of tanks/thors but they absolutely melt against a bio ball its silly. And.. ghosts;p
