I'm going with Vortix and TLO, although it would be cool to see some terrans in tournaments once again :D

I'm really surprised that so many people think that TLO will beat nerchio. He's been having a lot of trouble lately.

I do think that the EG curse is too strong for thorzain to beat Vortix.

Vortix>Thorzain
Nerchio>TLO

That's not hipster. There is no hipster vote here, just fan favourite or not.

Ehh, I'm pretty sure that Nerchio will sweep TLO, and ThorZaIN has been struggling in most MUs recently.

Nerchio 3-1 TLO
ThorZaIN 1-3 VortiX

Nerchio should win unless TLO goes absolutely ham.

I would give vortix a decent edge versus thorzain, but I think it really matters how much T-funk practices, he can be pretty inconsistent.

Picking Nerchio and VortiX is a no brainer, wouldn't be surprised if at least VortiX 3-0ed. Neither would a 3-0 by Nerchio surprise me, but it's still ZvZ.

That would be so fantastic. Though Nerchio is awesome too and would be a great addition to the world cup team.

Thanks, looking good! Can't wait for those showmatches, Stephano, Nani, Lucifron, Nerchio and Scarlett should make a good team.

Why does Nerchio always only use the double evo for 1-1? He only gets +2 attack after that, seems kinda weird but I guess it works.
