I'd say it's more depressing than thrilling.


Its past depressing lol. This is standard TvZ, it gets depressing when broods/infestors comes in.

You're an idiot if you think this was balance whine. Saying a matchup is hard isn't balance whine.

Mutas

o_O ? are you SeRiouS ? You know PDD blocks mutas right ?


Have you actually eVeR bothered to try in tvz? Mutas can either fire less than one volley from flock to eliminate pdd/kill raven or simple not attack by the immobile pdd. Do you really think this many top level terrans are just too clueless to use ravens tvz, or do you think it's cause they aren't worth it?


You can't really say they aren't worth it, there's a lot of unexplored tactics that were listed as worthless before but now they are getting more and more popular.
Just cuz something isn't used that much doesn't mean it isn't potentially good.


I base my opinions off hard facts, and I stay away from theorycraft shenanigans. Currently the way ravens have been shown points to them being useless tvz. Sure, they sound great in the ideal theorycrafter's scenario. Til top Korean pros utilize/show how to utilize them successfully the fact of the matter will be that they are not effective.

Ultra/queen sounds good on paper - however I won't put any value to it until I see it actually succeed at the highest level of play possible.

Byun keeps getting behind in the early game and is too busy playing catchup instead of doing his usual sexy baller ghost play.

Am I the only one that thinks Losira's play is the epitome of sloppy? I mean I love Losira, I'm a long time fan...before he was even GSL.

But seriously, his play looks like a 5 year old kid boxing all of his units and throwing them into the terran. And yet he's winning...O.o I have something to learn from this.


He is winning because Byun gets far behind in the early game an loses 50 marines to bane mines at the end

He is relying on his opponent playing sloppy as well.

Are you guys serious? O_O

Losira can afford to "throw" units away because he has INSANE macro / when he is at 200/200 food.

If you noticed, it was practically 2 base vs 5 base.


Doesn't excuse his poor unit control

MVP vs MKP. There is a reason no one talks about it. This will be that 2.0

There's a reason why no one talks about any GSL finals, I had forgotten that Rain and July were runner-ups!

Maybe it's Byun's strategy to lose 0-2 with long games so that his opponent gets overconfident and tired at the same time and just lose.

And people say Losira is bad at ZvT lols.. those banelings in his base were wicked good!

A ZvZ final would be better than nestea v byun if losira is killing byun this badly...


Um, he is clearly very sloppy at ZvT. Being able to hit a hotkey to burrow banelings does not make you good at a matchup.


Beat TOP, beat Byun, not good at ZvT. yet idra loses to Tarson and his TvZ is considered his best matchup 0.o


amoves banelings into tanks and thors, throws mutas away constantly, not good at ZvT. No one is saying anything about IdrA here.

what's so bad about zvz?


One of my favourite match ups to watch. I also cannot understand why most players do not like mirror matches. Maybe it is the rock paper scissor system of hatch first early pool and 14 gas 14 pool.


I think its more the fact that it ends up being a roach/infestor vs roach/infestor battle a lot of the time. It feels a bit like a Zerg version of a 4gate

ZvZ is very rock paper scissors, but most good Korean zergs hatch first always now, so I guess that helps the "balance"

Nestea and Losira are pretty damn good at rock paper scissors then lol


I meant its rock paper scissors when its gas/pool vs hatch first vs fast pool, but hatch first vs hatch first is like... rock vs rock lol.. so I guess its whoever wins the follow up :p

Mutas

o_O ? are you SeRiouS ? You know PDD blocks mutas right ?


are you serious? PDD wont block 20+ mutas for more than 1 or 2 volleys... volleys which come really fast. as well as being a really slow moving unit.



I'd trade a raven anytime if his mutas will be over my marines for 2 volleys.


ARE YOU TELLING ME YOU ARE ONLY GOING TO MOVE YOUR MARINES WITH A RAVEN NEXT TO IT? GOD Why do people talk about this game on forums without even thinking about what they post.

Ok you move your Marines with a slow flying unit THE RAVEN and you know what I'll do... I'll fly around you and kill everything else.

The best Terrans in the world playing this full time don't think about the "Raven" to beat baneling landmines. OK. You win bro I get it.


Ravens have kind of a ridiculous detection range. I guess if you are stimming across the map yeah it matters but tanks arent well known for being mobile anyway. And for defense well...... bases dont move fast.


Check out TLO's upcoming and recently past games vs Zerg with Ravens. He uses it with a mech style more though, so it doesn't really count...

Byun should've built a 2nd bunker at losira's ramp to prevent the run-by


Yeah, I tend to do that all the time against Zergs, it can really help, as it's very very very hard to break out of.

You can't bunker block a ramp on GSL maps and most of tournament versions of blizzard maps as well lol.

All those baneling landmines in the middle of the big fights, that's just genius. This will catch on for sure and terrans will be forced to have a Raven at all times.


The problem with a Raven in the scenario Byun was in was that the first thing you do is stim and run your marines back to deal with it asap and they outpace your Raven so fast that you're playing "blind" very quickly again. If you wait on the Raven your opponent gets more free damage at the location they're attacking.

I do agree a Raven with the main army is something that looks very likely to have to be implemented though, if Z continue to use burrow so effectively it's just going to become seriously cost ineffecient to not get one.



Well, in this game only way Byun would have gotten a raven is if he had a 2nd starport. That's the thing most people don't realize. in this game, double medivacs > 1 raven because you have to support your main dmg army, which is the siege tanks.

Ravens are useful, but you have to look at the situation Byun was in. he can't just magically create a raven out of thin air.

I dont think byun could of made a full wall at the ramp even if he wanted to, most GSL maps have the supply depot or the edited ramp to prevent a full wall. Does anyone know if this version of XNF had the edited ramp on it.
