why is zvz the worst mu?


Thats huge dynamic a paradoxicaly the biggest issue for me. Games tend to be fast, short and full of spamming lings and mutas (with occasional use of scourges). BO wins are common, strategy is downplayed by micro wars and endless spamming, luck seems to be a bigger factor than in TvT or PvP. Watching it was rarely exciting even when top Zergs were involved, and I remmember hating this MU when playing BW myself. This MU is for me an argument that its not a Terran a problem of BW, its the Zerg who is badly designed.
The truely exciting stage of play - hive-tech ZvZ, is incredibly rare.

that is all in your opinion but it doesnt make any of it true


It doesnt make it any false either
Thays like I see it.
Shameless BroodWar separatistic, elitist, fanaticaly devoted puritan fanboy.

Ah, thanks for sharing your thoughts. As I was really interested in the point of view, that is opposite to mine. I love mirrors and think that they are awesome, especially pvp.
edit: to me pvp also looks like the most fair match-up There also was an interesting picture regarding mirrors, I'll try to find it

In my opinion the mirror match-ups are the most boring. But out of all the mirror match-ups TvT and PvP are acceptable while ZvZ is just tedious to watch. In my opinion this is because there is very little variation in ZvZ's. They are always the same. The last 10 ZvZs I saw were nearly identical. The only difference between them is the exact number of lings build vs mutas build vs sunkens build.
It can be fun a couple of times but eventually you just grow tired of the match-up.

I like ZvZ, it wasn't always that way though. It's only when you start to play it a lot, that you start noticing all the intricate details regarding tactics and strategy and appreciating them. Aside from a 12 hatch vs a 9 pool speed on a small map, there's no build order disadvantages that can't be conquered. It would be the best match up in the game if it regularly went past the muta stage. Hydralisks, lurkers, queens, ultras, defilers etc all pitted against each other makes for quality entertainment every god damn time.

Hydralisks, lurkers, queens, ultras, defilers etc .

If it goes past the muta stage, queens fit so naturally in ZvZ, idk why, you just get them at some point and utilize to a great effect.

That's so cool - maybe a separate topic? How is Testie's approach to the game? Just few games for fun or he wants to stay for a while?

Small update on the Testie situation: He said he wants to get "decent" at BW. I'm not really sure what that entails exactly whether that mean reaching c- or any rank in mind. It looks like he's gonna be here for a bit.

Edit: He's already C rank I'd say after only 2 days. His zvp is more like D+ though.


Also keep in mind that it's the end of a season, so he's not playing top performers.

A great nostalgic BW stream was when Tasteless played it in 2014. Played 1v1 to the best of his ability. Would love to see a vod of that.
Tyrant.
