Thorzain style was solved.

Keep turtling and overcome a resource disadvantage by forcing protoss into unfavorable engagements.

Hero's solution? never engage and keep causing economic damage to an economically starved player.

The dark templars were also awesome, really disallowed thorzain from capitalizing on mule play.

Yup. I guess the trick is to play EVEN MORE passive against Thorzain's late-game TvP.

Did you miss the gazillion warp prism, Zealot+DT runbyes, blink stalker harrass, storm drops etc?
You cannot get more active than that...

Wow. Wtf is that? Do you know the skill it requires to constantly be prepared to emp/snipe. Split up your army to defend vs harass. Then kite zealots. Scan.

THorzain did this really really brilliantly. Hero also played extremely well. But I just wish people played more attention to the skills it requires to defend harass.


Like what Rotterdam said, make a small bunker at each expansion to prevent these drops like how you do against zerg.

Thorzain was getting starved out by HerO all game long.
Play your best

I don't think noone on their right mind would say that thorzain doesn't have amazing army control. But he is just trying to do something terrans can't do against protoss on that kind of map, and it is turtle till perfect army composition, because the protoss can go crazy out expanding you and just winning because why the fuck no.

And yes, it's boring to watch.

Thorzain chose this map, because he can get an easy 5th base. XD

Thanks James :D

Yes, that really needed to be said. All those clown in costumes casting/presenting recently...and I really don't mean the people, but the sad idea to put them in suits.

What did James say?


He came up behind Incontrol and said something like "what are you guys wearing? where are your suits?"
Incontrol said 'This isn't MLG. We're in Sweden.'
James said basically 'Oh crap, this isn't MLG? I spent all my money on this suit.'

Thanks :p

That's why you don't open hatch first every single game.
I've been watching Nerchio's stream and he always cheese players that open same greedy build over and over again. TLO should know it too

HerO outplayed Thorzain by a huge amount there and even then the game seemed extremely close at moments. Thorzain made some mistakes that did not happen in his game vs. Nani. Most likely he will do exact same build again.

no the difference was that HerO forced Thorzain into those mistakes via warp prisms all around the map

Thorzain was getting starved out by HerO all game long.


Problem is that bunkers are pretty mediocore against 3/3/3 zealots.
Also did you see how he efficient he was with his attacks?
He couldn't do that much more I think, and he did pretty well actually. Harass just kept him occupied and there really was no no way he could not be occupied against that harass.

He was behind going into midgame and Hero did the right think by taking a shitton of expansion and building HT's thus maintaing his lead unlike Naniwa.

as much as i love watching long games like that, i really don't think it's a good idea to play like Thorzain does against protoss. you just can't be as cost-efficient as the protoss in the lategame if they know what they're doing.

(naniwa made the wrong units for 20 minutes and barely lost).

ThorZaIN relies on winning the fight with his ultimate army of imbalance but neglects his economy to the extreme. He wins every fight, but if he ever makes a single mistake he will lose too much of his army and the warp-in's kill him. Of course the multi-pronged aggression all over the map helped chip away at ThorZaIN's imba army, ultimately though it's the lack of economy for ThorZaIN that kills him not Hero's warp prisms.
