It's true. TvT is the joke matchup for foreigners. Probably because ppl avoid it and nobody gets to practice it or learn it.
You forget the mighty russians. Androide, Ex, A2 were (are?) pretty good at TvT. Strelok's TvT is also very good.
There are a few exceptions, I was speaking of the community as a whole.
I used to train TvT with a few decent terran buddies but that hasn't been happening too much lately. TvT is fun at higher levels. It's definitely the biggest chess match/map positional matchup of them all.

Chessy? So what's 2port wraith, open sicilian? /giggle
But seriously, I agree. TvT reminds me of chess. =D
I thought as ur about to build up ur facs u hold ur scv production. So I've heard, is that wrong? It seems to me this is better economical speaking, but maby it delays the push. Which is right?
I think you should put the youtube links to my games in the OP also. They are more permanent, since filefront deletes stuff every now and then if its not activity on the files + I think they lose the possibility of being streamed after a while also.
LOL the russians always played a ridiculously good TvT
since it's one of the least demanding matchup handspeed wise and maybe the most demanding tactical wise, good old Russian Terrans had a nasty habit of keeping their ground even vs Korean progamers up until a few years ago
Problem is- I don't really feel like sitting down for 45 minutes to make a commentary on one game, splitting the video up into 5 parts and uploading it all. :D
And I totally agree with minus_human on the russian TvT theory, that's very good...
