The extra wraiths could make all the difference he has the mobility to stirke where he wants before Sharp can produce enough Wraiths to defend.

He's used them to take control of Sharps starports and that will game. Sharp can't get any Wraiths out. They just die to Piano's wraith amarda.

2 pronged attack from Piano on both sides of the map. SCV attack at the left, Wraiths at the right LOL

Wraiths reach the starports at 5. Sharp has nothing anyway. GG

1-0 Piano.

As I was typing, huge wraith battle. Piano just outright winning lol. So many wraiths.

It’s frustrating when you miss things because you're typing in a Teamliquid live report thread. It’s really easy to do though, hehe.

True. This is why screaming Korean commentators is always a must. haha

I’m not sure the SCV's was an attack I think PianO was just throwing them away to free up supply. Piano's Wraith’s taking control of Sharps Wraith production decided the game though. I'm not by anyone’s standards a TvT expert so feel free to question anything I say or assumptions I make.

It’s striking how quickly TvT can go from tense roughly equal map split to just been over because one guy made a bad attack. That's why we get so many games where neither guy wants to attack and it stays static for ages.

They paused the game and one of the players typed 'chamsiman', which means something like 'in a moment'
then he typed 'chisonghamnida' which means 'sorry'.

I don't think he explained why he wanted the pause though.

edit: google says chamsiman means 'hold on'

I know he was throwing away scvs, I just laughed when I saw them outside Sharp's nat, attacking an armory or something.

I think the general immobility of siege tanks forces split maps but then they transitioned into quick wraiths, then Sharp got destroyed. Piano really microed well imo.

Wow, that was a short game in the end. PianO was really agresive got himself a couple of tanks and a few marines and early siege mode which I thought was going to make all the difference but Sharp held it off with good SCV, marine and tank micro. GG

1:1

edit: I'm going to question the value in getting the Wraith if you're going to make an attack like that. It's quite a lot of extra investment to build the Starport and the Wraith and offers very little in offensive power to the attack. I guess crucially it gives sight to the Siege Tanks. So maybe that’s why he got the Wriath. Again I know nothing about TvT.

Game 2 Odd eye.

Piano at bottom right, Sharp at top left.

Piano tried to do some proxy shenanigans then cancels it.

Sharp ops to take an early expansion. Piano tries to put him in a contain. Sharp breaks out of the contain.

It seems that Piano was all-in in that. After his forces get destroyed he GG'd

Haha 1-1 series.

That was not a TvT, it was too quick :D

Really love these contain breakouts.

Anyway, Piano picks Bifrost 3.

Sharp starts at the top right, PianO at the bottom left.
