first starport coming down for mong, ahead of sea. Both players are taking thirds, some brief skirmishes in the middle of the map.
10:00 Mong has a tank line established just outside his fat ramp, with sea with a tank line of a similar size, just outside range.
11:40
Mong makes an attack at the middle section of sea's tank line, is quite successful and gains some ground since sea's tank line is way more spread out than Mong's.

13:50 the majority of the action is taking place over control of the fat ramp for the bottom left main, sea seeking to increase his choke hold on mong's future expansion.

16:50 both sides suffer bad damage, as sea pushes what is mong's 4th, and 2 vulture attacks terrorise sea's 3 and 4th bases. Many scv's dead.
Pretty nice elevator attack with 1 drop ship, 5 tanks and handful of wraith +1 valk. Set up Sea's 3rd nicely. This is a pretty cool TvT after starting off with early shenanigans

What are you talking about? That was awesome! Go Mong!!!
I want to avoid the b word (boring), but it takes a much greater level of proficiency to properly appreciate BW tvt imo. SC2 tvt is just more accessible to the casual gamer.

That's true but BW TvT is something very very unique. It takes more time to appreciate than all the other match ups in both games.

I used to be like that and like PvP. When I started watching more my taste changed. Plus Flash. Flash made me love TvT. He was soooo sick good at it... Edit : and imho sc2 TvT is... well, guess why I'm posting here :D

Really? I think siege tanks line for tatical position and shenanigans to break it (BW) more exciting than stim ur whole bio and a move style of SC2. Still it is just my opinion. (=

I hate TvT in comparision to other mirrors in BW but I have to agree. Its more fun than all that biobullshit in SC2
but lets not talk about that and lets focus on the game
I hope Sea is gonna take it
btw - Ive seen that NaDa is quite active lately, anyone knows why isnt he playing any SOSPA events?

Probably feels he isn't ready, or something? Maybe he feels he doesn't have the time because of his work with AZUBU, who knows?

I think I mentioned this another time, but as long as you're paired up with someone knowledgeable, I think it'll work out fine. You ask questions that some might not know the answer to, a lot of new guys following BW these days.
It's a shame the tournament is winner takes all limited by the prize pool to not get a license, since it's so fucking high level. Glad sea won, but as a mong fan I hope he got plenty of viewer balloons for his efforts ^.^

Remember someone giving him 700 balloons during the semis, that's something at least :>
Congrats to Sea and thanks to all the players for participating. But what amazing games will Sonic comment after the finals? Here's what I think (warning - large image): + Show Spoiler +
