Idra's TvZ is so incredible! It's much more agressive than other Terrans. Dashwriter had a chance game 3, but Idra kept pushing for the kill preventing Dashwriter from getting too big. Dashwriter's BO in all 3 games were classic. A lot more interesting than watching the typical 3 hatch mutalisk.

USA Fighting!

Atm, race distrubition is:
Protoss: 13
Terran: 5
Zerg: 7
Random: 3

Is Testie counted as Random because he seems more like a race picker than a Random player. Against weaker players, selects Random. Against strong players, picks race that gives him advantage over opponen'ts race on that map.

i think the strong favorite here who is not mentioned at all is love.

And damn the game Artosis vs slider on longius was nuts. I think artosis had it if he had just a little better decision making in the end. so many opportunities, he couldve finished off the 12 expo with those 2 dmatrixed tanks, or used the 6 expo a bit sooner. And for last stand off i was hoping to see dmatrixed scvs on ramp and EMP on toss army. I guess the pressure had its toll.

Artosis vs Slider on Longinus one of my favorite macro games so far.

Today's games are so much better than Day 1.

Artosis vs Slider on Longinus was a fun long game.

Redeemer vs Advocate was a coin toss. At first, I thought Advocate was the clear favorite,but now TvZ looks like Advocate's weakness matchup because he is not agressive enough. Game 3 on Zodiac was so close for both players. Those mass vessels wiped out all of Redeemer's income despite having 4 gas while Advocate had no base.

EDIT: Didn't know Redeemer is Incontrol. lol

Yeah, that was art TvZ indeed. I couldn't believe he lasted for like 15 minutes with one rax, one factory and a bunch of vessels vs a zerg with 4 expos.

I bet inc was pissed.

I think on a mid-level skill area, protoss dominates, but at a high level, very little protoss can stand up to the intense multi-tasking perfection of zerg/terran.

Its just that protoss can get by with screwing up a few things here and there and are quite durable in many scenarios because foreigners do not know exact timings gained from intensive practice. But im sure talented folks like mondragon/idra will decimate the overpopulated protoss.

There will certainly be a lack of good TvZs, I'm sure though.
