one vessel frozen as it tries to emp 2 arbs

recall on 3! lots of things die to mines, and an emp on the surviving goons - the recall does very little damage.

Arbiter recalls 3, but mines blow up a ton of the goons immediately and vultures clean up the rest without any real damage.

hiya finally moving into the 1.5 base proper and sieges up a few tanks

pure zealot heading out to attack the tanks!

3 tanks die but no more

Free's army moving around midmap - clearing mines and turrets

Free really needs storms. Hiya's army has so many tanks and science vessels that dragoons and zealots are just going to vaporise.

This is one of those myths that I wish I could make money off of. Is there a way I can make a permanent statement along the lines of "MVP's TvT is not good"?

Here's how MVP's 3 wins that suddenly make him "good" at TvT played out:

1. A map split against Baby where Baby definitely could have won or at least played for a draw had he not sent his entire army into MVP's main to get trapped

2. Vulture bust that was very poorly defended by Baby, ended the game right there

3. This game against Flash where he was outplayed until the BC switch, then proceeded to play really well

Notice something? He didn't win a single "standard" TvT, not even close. In fact, he was behind in the two map split games (though he did a very good job in evening out those situations).

Of course, winning is all that counts in SC but winning standard is what counts when it comes to predicting future performance. MVP hasn't won a single standard TvT in a long time (maybe his win over Bogus in MST was standard? Even then it's Bogus). Skyhigh just worked him last night the same way you can expect Flash to work him the next 3 games.


What's "standard"?

What's not "standard" in the game he played today? It's 100% standard TvT from beginning to end.

What's not "standard" in a vulture bust on maps that favorize vulture openings? This happens all the time.

What's not "standard" in the first game vs Baby, except the ending? Baby made a mistake, so what? Players make mistakes. Some are good at taking advantage of them, some are not.


Here's my prediction: Flash will win the next 3 against MVP and MVP will go sub-500 in TvT for his 10 games after the 3 losses. I'll gladly take a month-long ban if either of those things don't happen.


As far as I'm concerned, this statement just confirms you're more bitter about Flash losing than calmly stating your actual thoughts.

Just watch today's game again. And tell me that didn't look like S-class TvT play from both players.

(For the record, I don't really give a shit about MVP. I just like good Starcraft, and this was an awesome, extremely high level game which I thoroughly enjoyed.)

a small clash between armies midmap - a single good storm on the frontal tank clump and free backs away

2 tanks siege up below 11.5!

man it sure is hard to attack superexpanding protoss as terran!

Not going to help if you can't stop Hiya's army from crushing every single expo you have.

What is free doing? Either he's waiting for something really special, or he doesn't know what to do at this point in the game, to the point of waiting for quite some time before sending zealots to clean up tanks shelling his gateways.
Amateurish. Nearsighted. A waste of my time and everyone else's.
