The real problem is that Thorzain has almost no scvs, so he has like 190 supply of pure army. He can't replenish (no economy), but it was an invincible army. So what nani could have done ? Maybe sacrificing some probes, but i'm not sure...

Monchi rolled over him

Nerchio 7 pooled him. Didn't work, added Roaches, tried again, failed again. Monchi moves out and kills Nerchio.

Second game Monchi pushed out with a huge force on 3 bases and killed off Expansion 4 and 5 of Nerchio, reinforced his army and killed of what was left of Nerchio.

I know not very detailed, but well at least something i guess

The classic "Harrass the production"

That would be useful if he had an income and/or money to actually spend. Killing barracks doesn't hurt someone with no intention to produce any more units....

The fuck lol?
He built units all game long, killing barracks would be hurting him in these low econs situations, especially since he had almost no SCVs to rebuild them.

I feel like HT drop to kill the maximum of workers (to reduce the number of scvs in order to increase the effectiveness of the future warp prism harass) then barracks kill in the main and stuff would have been a better way to deal with ThorZaIN strat.

Anyways there is no excuse to lose to that because everyone knows how ThorZaIN plays TvP especially on this map, you should come better prepared vs that strat if you expect to beat him.

Especially killing techlabs, ThorZain was actually losing a lot of ghosts by mistakes or in battles.

It's really tough to say what Nani could have truly done to overcome so many Ghosts. I mean it wasn't as if Tzain actually played better.

Then he can catch Terran army on ramp, storm everything, and try to defend while Zealots keep tearing the depots and rest of base so Thorzain can't replenish his army easily.

First game was 8 pool into one base roach attack.
Second, Nerchio forgot that fungal is still in game.


It also helps that Monchi has the best PvZ in europe after Fraer and maybe Titan but recently definitly better than Titan.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

It wasn't that bad by naniwa, im not really sure what he was supposed to do. He was building mass archon because he had 8 million gas. What are you supposed to build there to win?

I'm guessing Naniwa would have to sacrifice workers to in order to get a similar army size. Either that or stretch Thorzain thin by warp prism harassment.

But not sure. I can't believe other terrans aren't building as many ghosts though because that's the counter to the entire protoss race.


No toss should never sack probes. Just build HT's, not archons lol.

HT's make no sense when terran has 300 scans and is using them as you will never win HT vs Ghost battle. Observers also are necessary, but they die constantly. Naniwa did not have bad composition. He did not play smart enough. WP harass, with zealots and DTs against production facilities and using that to get ThorZain to bad position and to have to multitask more.


Sure they do. Have 15 ht's spread out. Maybe he emp's half of them. Doesn't matter as long as you just get off 3-5 storms and you can killl 50%+ of his army. Then you rebuild at home; NOT IN FRONT of THorzains army. That was the biggest mistake he made last game and one of the most stupidest thing I have ever seen.

If he concentrates and scans well, basically no spread of HTs will help you. But I agree with the other things Naniwa did wrong.

How is he replenishing army when he has no money?

1) He had all that gas because he was making Zealots that got destroyed due to the high amount of Medivacs, and had limited Colossus count due to all the Vikings

2) You don't trade efficiently against that army comp of Terran's

3) Nani killed over 60 SCVs, the end of the game showed Thorzain rolling with 10 SCVs and 6+ Orbitals, harassing buildings takes too long and further they can lift

4) HTs seem like the only alternative and that requires a lot of positional play, something Nani doesn't really like to do, his style has almost always been to slug it out


You nailed it. Naniwa is not a positional player. That's why he lost. He is almost the marineking of foreign toss player. Someone who wants to timing attack and then attack and attack. He isn't a deep strategical/positional thinkiner. Thorzain just outplayed him last game.

Lol you should rewatch MLG MKP games, he knows a shit or two about positionnal play. (See the series vs DRG)


Yeh you kinda miss the deeper meaning about positioning. Watch Ryung --> Positional strategical player. MKP = Great micro player, but just attack attack basically.

Neither Naniwa nor MKP are strategically positoinal players. They are timing attacks/micro players.

Lol NaNiwa and MKP are good strategical positionnal players, the fuck are you saying o_o.
They all are at this level.

Have more observers and spread them out. It was pretty obvious all the time that Thorzain was bent on taking out those observers.


yeah it just doesn't seem reasonable given how thorzain has literally infinite scans he can just spam them
i dunno man some things about this game just piss me off
props to thorzain for taking advantage of them i mean that is the point of the game lol


Speed Warp Prism with constant heavy harassment would destroy what Thorzain did.


I don't think so. With Vikings out, WP can get sniped. Also, you need to stay at like 170 supply to warp in, which means even if you do warp in, he can A move you.

Thorzain played VERY well. I think P has an advantage late game, and I think 9/10 P wins in those situations. Props to 'Zain.


Vikings isn't gonna catch SPEED warp prism in the late game if Toss controlled well(Rain,Seed,Parting).

You are definitely gonna find holes in their base defense and just warped in 5-10 zealots and then harassed in another location.
Plus,immortals are shit against ghosts with medivacs.

Should have make more HT and controlled them better.
Play your best
