Is base trading the new standard in TvT?

The new draw function has.. uh, creating some interesting scenarios to say the least. Not sure if I like the intensity or if I find it stupid.

Merz played such a good game 2, and then such a bizarre game 3.

He's never ever going to manage to stall out for a draw here

To some extent. It only takes a handful of marines in dropships to wipe out an entire base w/ stim because their dps is so high. If an opponent's army is out of position and they can't defend it with units at home, going for a base trade is quite often your best option at that point.

also: merz had no idea demuslim had 2 other comand centers in other locations, so he was praying he could possibly kill the few structures he knew remained. Had the whole map been revealed to him he would have gg'd sooner.

I dont know why Merz did wait at his planetary fortress with all his units. If he would have dropped earlier he could have forced a draw.

Merz didnt know he clearly lost, he thought that CC was Demu's last building.
Please don't call people badmannered for fighting for their win.

Less fair TvT? What? :D

I just dont understand that some of you always have to find something to rage about.


Ya, it's pretty pathetic. I for one wanna see some matches on maps you don't see every day. Really wish the map pool overall was switched up more often.

He knew demuslin had a bigger army, he knew demuslim still had atleast one CC up, some of his main was still alive. Merz had a smaller army, no income and one startport that was floating in top right to keep him in the game.

I don't understand how you can say it wasn't obvious the game was lost, even from merz' perspective.

I also don't understand how you can make the comparison with MKP when he went for base trades when he had equal or greater amount of bases/units while merz tried to pull a base trade off with less bases and less of an army.

Be gentle, people, be gentle. I am no TLO and apparently half of Poland is making fun of me :D

I am only on the show because Rotti does not like to be alone on a cast. I am not here to stay!

The first four advance.

@Carmac

You are doing quite okay, no complaints from this side! I even think Rotterdam is talking a little bit too much and you should talk a bit more, even though you may not know as much about the game as he does... ^.^
