I think the only way for Thorzain to take a map off of Taeja is if Taeja just derps around with an x-Marine hitsquad in the first 6-8 minutes and randomly dies. Probably gonna be an ugly series. How times change...

True that

Taeja is GM in all 3 races

Taeja should off-race as Protoss to make it less of a massacre... I think it'd be less anyways...

I don't know Kev, I wouldn't count out Taeja so readily.

He might just take himself out, giving Taeja ultimately the 5k. You never know with these sorts of things.

Taeja cannt cross the middle of the map with any unit except observers and probes until Thorzane has either 1 Thor or launches a nuke or attacks a building with anything.

With that rul maybe we'd see a 200/200 Ghost army and the whole supply of them launching a nuke at the same time lol

Taeja should definitely offrace! That would be pretty sweet!

Been a while since I've seen Thorzain play. Hopefully he puts up a fight.

so one of the best gamers in the world play vs a semi inactive gamer ... sounds ... like a rape

vs naniwa would been intresting but sry thorzain in his current form is not better then any guy they would take from street

Taeja clap all the way to the bank!

More interesting would be to get Jinro vs MC. And make the Map pool Xel'naga Caverns, Metalopolis and Scrap Station.

They should make Taeja play one of his offraces, it's a bit silly to make Taeja play vs Thorzain. The two players aren't in the same tier.

Taeja may complain that it's not a big amount

Kinda weird for them to go through with this Show match. It makes sense if you have Naniwa vs Taeja because the skill gap is closer, but Naniwa declined. If the next best thing is a foreign Terran who hasn't be relevant in months vs Taeja then maybe you should give up on the idea of the show match. The skill gap between the two is huge and is very unlikely to produce entertaining games unless Taeja doesn't try to win. Very confusing decision by dreamhack.

i predict that this will be closer than most people are thinking. also it kind of makes sense to do this cause both players have been talking about retiring from sc2 lately.

I usually do support all the DH decision but this time i can't.
sorry DH but wasting 6000 dollars on Taeja-Thorzain is not worth it.
not at all.

Maybe a Taeja-rain/innovation/naniwa/scarlett (whatev ) but not thorzain....anything but thorzain...
Nothing against the person but as a player he does not deserve a 6000 dollars showmatch right now (also it will be a rolfstomp, not a good promotion for dh )
