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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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  | ||

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. | ||
