I dont know how good naniwas PvT is, but the Protoss player in GSL struggle recently versus terran.

Thorzain is good. But TvT is considered his weakest matchup. He even stated it himself.

Thorzain has been great in TvT ever since he started practice it for Kas in TSL. His weakest MU now is TvZ.

T-Zain's been pretty good at TvT recently. He beat Kas, and 4-0 Select at MLG. But to be honest, he's probably gonna have real trouble against the Korean Terrans, they're in a class of their own.

Naniwa's PvT record before the TSL final was a 92% win ratio, and I believe it's still his statistically best match-up. I don't think he'll have too much trouble.

EDIT: Confirmed, it is his best match-up statistically.

He said Thorzain, not Naniwa. :p

Three Swedes in Code A!? Let's hope they all advance to code S immediately.

Seriously though, as much as I think they're all awesome I don't expect them to tear Code A apart.
Thorzain hasn't been dedicated to sc2 for THAT long, and sure he's awesome despite that, but he still needs more time before he has a chance to dominate in GSL.
Naniwa seems to be unstoppable when he's on a roll, but he's not good enough to continually dominate every player in GSL like he did when he won MLG. So the question is if his confidence is good enough to play solid every game even when feeling mortal. If so, he's got a chance to go far in Code S, even win if he adjusts well to korean play and his own living situation over there.
And of course Jinro who is already over there, I don't really know but I think maybe what MC said about Jinro needing to control his anger is what's been troubling him. Maybe if he sorts that out he will stop making silly mistakes and such.

Also, it will be really cool to see Naniwa and Thorzain participate in the GSTL with WeMadeFox. I hope they do well.

Did they ever announce the third Code A participant?

Is Thorzain going to participate in the GSTL? I saw a thread earlier saying he wasn't but it seems to be deleted so I'm thinking maybe it was false?

He is now. Apparently MLG/GOM announced he would play in it without asking him or his team, but they worked something out and now he will play.

That is a weird, yet awesome mix.


They should get Grubby so they can be the official TeamWC3 lol
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

From ELO statistics we can see that his TvT is the strongest MU lol.
