1-3 hp as in literally 1 to 3 hp, not 1/3 hp
do you have enough resolve, hero of justice?

Wow really bad explanations of the matchups.

It's good enough, it's mainly for the newbs who go like "wtf Mech TvP"

5/5 Deserves a spotlight

No it's bad. 'ZvZ is luck and TvT is boring lawl' ya you don't know anything. Exactly how you don't want to set things up for someone interesting in understanding bw on a basic level.

...When have I ever said that? I'm 100% certain that never in my entire life have I ever said that TvT was boring, and I absolutely never comment on ZvZ because I have 0 understanding of the matchup.

Did you even read the OP? lol

To be fair, after Jvz was gone, zvz does seem like mostly coin flips. Just look at the top 5 ZvZ elo atm.

Uhm yes I did actually. lol. If YOU actually read the post I quoted, he says "'ZvZ is luck and TvT is boring lawl"' ya you don't know anything." Obviously I've never said TvT was a boring MU, nor have I ever commented on a ZvZ game. The OP is good enough for a beginner's guide, and that's what it is.


man... yet another misunderstanding... Chef was talking about the way the OP talked about ZvZ and then introduced TvT not what YOU think about it. That's why Almond asked if you even read the OP... not very hard to understand x.x

Anyway I agree, everything is really well written except the match up descriptions. And Plague definitely brings units down to 1hp. Although I vaguely remember sometimes the last tick wouldn't go and they would be at like 2 or 3hp. Which I believe is what LP might be trying to say.

How on earth is TvT boring? It has produced some of the absolutely best BW games during the past several years. Flash vs. Fantasy? Flash vs. FBH? Leta's games? Seems like the OP has only watched some 2001 games or something. T___________________T

They're not really that slow when unburrowed (about as fast as speed hydras iirc?)

Pretty sure plague can take a unit down to 1, not 1/3, hp.


True, they aren't really that slow - I'll edit that one

That plague stat I was just going by what Liquipedia said because I couldn't remember the exact numbers, and it says "1-3 hp" so I dunno


Yeah you should have written 1-3, because 1/3 seems like reduce to a one third of hp which is not true.
I think the way it works is that it does 3-4 dmg per one cycle but it does not go to 0 or below.

It's a good guide, I would change a few things personally, but that's not really important. The thing that stuck out to me the most (for some odd reason) is that you said that Corsairs are better anti-air units than Scouts. I would say that, because of the high cost of Scouts, and the low cost of Corsairs (combined with them have an enormous AOE splash damage), they are much more cost-efficient than Scouts.

Edit: PvP is boring, TvT is awesome, ZvZ is awesome.

It's 300 damage max but doesn't kill. Also, I think consume should be mentioned.

Also ghosts, dropship, bc info should be included. Lockdown is ok vs Toss, nuke was OMGASM (when it happened), but ghost was pretty useless. Dropship DID NOT heal. BC was super tanky one big hit at a time.That kind of stuff.
