Why not? I play football, i played semi pro football before an injury and i feel i can say a football game is boring despite clinical things happening and despite appreciating that a team uses a tactic that is effective. For example, a football team over here used route one goal kick to the opponents area every game, they rely on tall players to knock the ball on and fast players in behind to score. They do this every game, every free kick, every corner, tall players knock on quick players get in behind. I have played football to an ok standard, i have used this tactic and had it used against me, it is very simple in practice and works well against most teams but that doesnt mean the tactic itself is not horrendously boring to watch and, although effective is dispiriting to play in. The same way i can use mmm, i can use it successfully and i can win with it, that doesnt mean the tactic isnt boring, doesnt mean i havent seen it hundreds of times and doesnt mean, like football, that though i can appreciate the tactic that i dont find it extremely boring to watch and play. So there, hope that clarifies :/ | ||

I think his argument is that the games aren't particularly varied and that the unit mixes from Terran have been very similar in every TvP mu today, yet that doesn't prevent good players from appreciating good play. Seems like a reasonable observation right now from a spectator standpoint, the other mu's have been a lot more enjoyable to watch from a casual spectator standpoint. | ||

You can open a variety of ways in TvP while making MMM. | ||

1.) It is too easy for a terran to take an early game advantage. 2.) Too easy for a terran to overcome a protoss advantage. 3.) Too difficult for a protoss to rip an advantage from the terran. I don't dislike select but his effective abuse of these three facts made me cringe. Reason 1 not too big a deal but combination of 2 and 3 are painful. Definitely waiting to see how kiwi plays PvT but that is how the series looked. | ||
