ZvZ is a luckfest
sarcasm much?

its just more demanding than other matchups when it comes to following your opponent closely (how many drones and zerglings he makes, when spire starts) and having good micro to defend the bo you went with or abuse the speed of your units. its very challenging, but this is starcraft and not poker. luck never decides a starcraft game.

.....
Unbelievably wrong. Seriously, luck is a part of any game with imperfect information, and it's exacerbated in any mirror matchup.

I can't believe I used to dislike Idra, the guy is amazing.

Go T, less luck in TvZ, more fun to play? and watch

Voted T because it's the best matchup in the game to watch.

Whatever gets the job done tbh. It's a lot of money, it can make a big difference certainly in your situation, I'd say fuck the haters and go TvZ if that's what you're most confident in. Please, please, please win. ^_^

I voted ZvZ because I think since your practicing it hardcore for courage you should keep playing it at the moment but in the future TvZ..
You gotta play to your strengths and ZvZ is a massively micro based match-up. I'm not saying your micro is poor because obviously it's great. It's just not awesome in the way your understanding of the game and macro are.

Go with what you feel more confident in, and I imagine it's TvZ.

Don't act out of stupid principles or anything of that kind.
Just win it.

Idra wins thread... again.

Maybe only go TvZ against Castro? I think the lag has slightly less impact in TvZ than ZvZ.

Play terran for the TSL but keep working on your ZvZ. With lag and the prize money on the line, you seem more confident with TvZ, so go with that.

Ignore the silly purists who want you to play Z. They aren't in the running for the TSL prize pool

Terran, because I think it's awesome that someone can be gosu with two races.

I'd also take some time to investigate the other player's matchups. If he sucks ZvT, go for it.

I don't see how deciding whether to play TvZ or ZvZ is an issue of pride at all.

tvz for sure.

you don't stand a chance vs CaStrO or kolll or mondragon or sen in ZvZ.

after you played TvZ for 8-10 years, switching to ZvZ can't get you those years of exp.

please choose fast, so i can finish my TSL contest :D


you are pretty ignorant... i played them plenty and zergs better than them and I know my chances ZvZ


aaand where do u get 8-10 years from? :|
looooool... owned by ret himself.


What this blog shows is simply that every single person posting in here has a worthless opinion and that Ret made it only for attention or because he was bored, since he already knows all his odds, has probably made his decision, and only replies to anyone to refute them.

You've invested so much into learning ZvZ, stick with it and believe in yourself!
