The viewers are prolly more concerned then the players, and thats only because some people dont like TvT. I love TvT though so no worries here. If you look at it from a player standpoint though, this tourney is very easy to practice for. So unless the non terran players are bad vs terran, they should be happy they have an easy tourney to prepare for.
Before I would've said Thorzain over Apocolypse but now I just have no idea who will win that one. Maybe Apocalypse has a slight edge but I wouldn't be surprised either way.
Hero vs. Supernova will definitely be a fun match =) I'd have to give the edge to HerO though because he is definitely capable of taking down top tier terrans, and supernova hasn't been in top form his last few games. Traditionally, Protoss has always been his worst matchup let alone versing someone like HerO, Supernova will have his work cut out for him.
I'll be routin for HerO and Thorzain though! Can't wait =D
I want the Apocalypse Hero to prevail... Wait I mean Hero and Apocalypse, thought a Supernova is an apocalypse, and Thor is a Norse god that is a hero in ragnorak...
mech on taldarim, quiet a rare sight, especially with weapon upgrades against bio. If it was because of non favored region, i don't undestand the cloaked banshees, though i understand why they died so fast x3.

There have been more impressive comebacks and i don't think banshee was cloaked. And since it was his last game, there was no reason why not to expend the extra energy trying, no other games to look forward to in the series anyways. To put it into perspective, Thorzain GGed out game 2 when he was literally down 100 supply and had 30 marines in his main base.
Go hero! As a note, SuperNoVa has done a marine-tank-banshee 3 times in this series, with different variations. Wonder if we will see a 4th marine-tank-banshee variation on the ace match? -.-

And hero has gone stalker/zealot/immortal/sentry. Wonder what we will see from him this game?!
Really everyone complains about too much MMM and this one series happens~ new wave PvT :D
Wow, Hero that was amazing. Probably the fastest destruction of a maruader/marine ball ever, everything went pretty perfectly then, all the storms spot on and Supernova helping out and filling a couple of medivacs ready for feedback was the icing on the cake
