TvT = best mirror matchup, no competition.

PvP = the worst just as easily. I know lots of people aren't ZvZ fans, but anything is better than PvP. Some creativeness is starting to help it a bit (i.e., phoenixes), but it's still very mechanical/scientific in that one more unit wins it.

IMO TvT and TvZ are easily the most entertaining matchups to watch. I still hate actually playing TvT though.

TvZ was by far the best matchup in SC1, and TvT was by far the worst. Now in SC2 they're about equal haha.

TLO has good strategies, but his execution is so risky. It's not even a good type of risky, i.e. risk for reward, it's just risky in the unnecessary sense. For instance, the early Viking was sent to aggressively intercept NaDa's banshee in a huge map, and of course, he did not see it. Oftentimes, TLO would also attack a siege line without scanning to see the number of tanks that he's actually up against. Even sacrificing banshees to kill a couple tanks.

I don't know; I'm a huge TLO fan but seeing the lack of solidity to his brilliant play is just disappointing as a fan.

Man, that was an awesome TvT. Great play by both teams. NaDa just made a tiny mistake of not making enough vikings.

Great move by TLO to use the BCs to force the unsiege and then chase with marines.

It's gotta be your connection. I've been watching HQ stream nonstop since its started today and it's been a steady 40-55k viewers and haven't had a single lag or glitch yet.

Same here, no problems with the stream for me

Battlecruiser is commonly used to end game if you have the superior viking count.

Why the shock? Why do people insist BC has no place in TvT?

TLO sacking his vikings to eliminate Nada's just before the BC push was so huge - gave him that minute window where he could push in. So HAWT!

I could have sworn Nada saw the fusion core he scanned the double starport, huge mistake to not make more vikings

It wasnt mass battlecruiser. Nada just lost his rines and TLO briliantly used the battelcruisers to force a unsiege. I love how the new battlecruisers can be used in such matches

may the best terran win.

moving marines into tanks, having tanks alone with no anti air despite having scouted battle cruisers more than 2 minutes ago etc etc.... =(

I "think" NaDa was near max and he wasn't keen on killing his own tanks to make more vikings, he could have made some turrets at his tank line though.
