They're OK if your opponent doesn't scout them and makes vikings instead.

Thorzain not able to capitalize on the early game lead (almost failed to do so in game 2 as well.) If DRG just plays standard this won't even be close.


That wasn't a huge lead, he only killed 10 drones and lost his whole harassing force, couldn't use his banshees to do a follow-up and allowed his stuff to be sniped.

And DRG was already on 3 bases by then.

Ghosts. Seen MVP vs July?



Byun vs Zenio also comes to mind (even though byun lost the game, he showed some really cool ghost play)

Yeah, but the game I referenced is just the most immaculate TvZ I have ever seen. Perfect, I daresay.

DRG is killing Thorzain with his muta's. Thorzain is normally really spread out and people don't know what to do against it, since he is everywhere at once with that style. But DRG has such good muta control that he picks him apart.

Same unit as the perfect counter to protoss units, ghosts.


Ghosts is no counter to ultralisks. It's just a possiblity... Immortal is a counter to a siege tank for example.

Thorzain needs to reorder his factory production in the midgame. He's over producing tanks when he's not even close to pushing out and letting himself be picked apart by mutas when marine control is not his strongest asset.
Just add 3 thors until you are ready to push or keep your tanks stacked if there's 0 banelings on the map.

Thorzain wasn't blindly making Vikings, pretty sure he scanned the greater spire morph. He just missed that the Cavern was earlier. As soon as DRG saw vikings he kept producing Ultras after that first big batch.


Yes he was. You can scout Zerg's army with scans at least and see if Zerg produces corruptors. It's not like this is the first time he makes blind Vikings. I will say though that this didn't cost him the game, it was the mismanagement of his Banshees and Hellions in the initial drop which could have done way more damage.

It did less damage than it seemed
He invested in blue flame + banshee + cloak
Killed 10 drones. Yes lots of queens and lings but who cares?

Ridiculous for people criticizing Thorzain for making vikings.


Why? There is no excuse not scanning the zerg base when you know he has hive tech when you have three OCs.


I betcha he re-scanned the spire as soon as he saw the Hive tech and saw it was being morphed/had been morphed. You might not have noticed but DRG built both greater spire and an ultra cavern...

Battlecruisers...


Naw, too expensive. Banshees are the best pure counter, what with cloak and everything.


Stim marauders and ghosts will make ultras done like dinner.

It was only half-serious, but unit to unit Battlecruisers would probably be the best. But it's probably not viable in a real pro match.

Thorzain needs to to quicker pushes with large forces, this slow crawl with spread out smaller groups gets destroyed by awesome muta control
