The viewers are prolly more concerned then the players, and thats only because some people dont like TvT. I love TvT though so no worries here. If you look at it from a player standpoint though, this tourney is very easy to practice for. So unless the non terran players are bad vs terran, they should be happy they have an easy tourney to prepare for.

Acronysis Profile Joined November 2011 867 Posts #10 Before I would've said Thorzain over Apocolypse but now I just have no idea who will win that one. Maybe Apocalypse has a slight edge but I wouldn't be surprised either way.



Hero vs. Supernova will definitely be a fun match =) I'd have to give the edge to HerO though because he is definitely capable of taking down top tier terrans, and supernova hasn't been in top form his last few games. Traditionally, Protoss has always been his worst matchup let alone versing someone like HerO, Supernova will have his work cut out for him.



I'll be routin for HerO and Thorzain though! Can't wait =D The multiplying villanies of man do swarm upon him.

Darkcrowy Profile Joined March 2012 Germany 3 Posts #13 Dont't underestimate Apocalypse, I guess he goes 3-2 against Thorzain.



HerO should take the series 3-1 against Supernova, even though Supernova is quite fearsome.
