i dont wanna see that happen. I can argue that stephano is code s level, but thorzain for Code S???? ;;


Although you are right that he lost in the first round of code A, he was the only one to put up a fight out of all the foreigners in Code A at that time. Besides, isn't Naniwa one example of a player with a terrible GSL record who made it in the RO8 later?


If you give them enough kicks at the can eventually they're going to hit it.

People saying "nooo" "oh no I hate EG", well, idiots, I'm not a huge fan of EG but guess what? They allowed Thorzain to stay in the SC2 pro scene and play, thats right, you ungrateful nerds should realize sometimes that it is those people that are actually making esport live...
And again, not an EG fan...
On topic, gl to both, feel like Thorzain should be a new kickstart for EG's results, seems needed those days

If you actually cared for ThorZain's well-being you would wish he quit SC2 and went to school. And I couldn't care less about esports.


Actually no, taking a year off school, making money, plus, travel around the world competing (even on a video game), having a fan club and prize money, will look good on a resume, so nope, he's right, very few people are actually right to make that decision and he's one of them

Congrats Thorzain! Here's to a great TSL4 and causing Blizzard many many more balance headaches!

Truly a genius. Evil, not so much though.

Lol what are people arguing over for in this thread?

I think Thorzain knows what he wants to do with SC2 and school, I don't know why people are trying to tell him what he should be doing simply because they don't like EG or feel like they know how his life is going to work out.

It's not like he's quitting school, he's taking a year more off. Stephano is doing the exact same thing, nobody was complaining about it in that thread.

Silliness.

Gotta admit, this is a very unexpected move from both parties. Definitely a good choice for EG to pick up a well-mannered, successful foreigner. If ThorZaIN keeps up what he has been displaying lately, this partnership is golden.
You must defense your base.

naniwa pretty much showed that he could compete with koreans in various events.

thorzain beat polt and monster but even shitons of code b players are capable of taking them out in BOx

naniwa also has had very consistent results.


Thorzain also showed he could compete with koreans in various events, it's true that he didn't beat MVP and Nestea in the same tournament as Naniwa did but he did beat Hero, MC, Polt in his career and didn't go down without a fight against players like DRG and Leenock.

Imo, he CAN compete with the Koreans and these seeds are also based on viewership potential: people DO want to see foreigners in GSL, so there aren't many possibilites to choose except for him and Stephano, from the players outside of Korea. Idra and Sen got their seeds without having recent tournament victories, why wouldn't Thorzain deserve one after winning Dreamhack? He should get at least a chance at the Up and Downs.


The comparison shouldn't even be between Thorzain and Naniwa (who is already in Code S for next season), but rather between Thorzain and everyone else who isn't in the GSL (except Stephano, who will likely get a Code S seed). There will be two Code S seeds awarded based on international tournament performance -- if Thorzain isn't deserving of one, who should get it ahead of him?

Perhaps if Thorzain falls flat at Spring Arena 2, while someone out of the GSL wins it, they'd consider putting that player in Code S and Thorzain in Up&Down...but the invitation might be extended to Thorzain before then anyway.

Oh my gosh. This is like when Hulk Hogan turned on Randy Savage and shocked the world revealing he was the third man joining the NWO!!


Now if Thorzain would just turn on his fans and insult them, we'd have ourselves our own fallen hero! Come on Thorzain, think of the drama!


or how about thorzain just wins tournaments and then make all the mouzsports fans cry.. that would just cause more drama

That's if he can win any. At this rate it's an annual thing.

I have yet to see a player from their branch actually improve rather than get worse. Ofc I'm talking in relative terms.
