As soon as I saw MMA put down the CC near the top of his base I thought "He's gonna use his reapers to take out the gold rocks and then expand there". That's what he did, then 10 minutes of boring macro (he wasn't macroing better than asd, just had more income) and then a one-sided roflstomp. Whoop-de-fucking-doo, what a waste of my time. Have you ever seen that build before? I didn't so the game was exciting for me, because i was hoping he could pull it off. Aside from that 10 minutes of macro is very common in almost any matchup unless one player is planning to 1base it. | ||

It was basically a matter of whether it got scouted and asd could do anything, or whether it didn't get scouted and the game was virtually unlosable. In the end it didn't get scouted early and the game was over there and then barring mma somehow making more errors than he did in the first 2 games combined. Montana is quite right that the game didn't deserve the overwhelming yes votes it got; there was a cute idea behind using the recently popular three reaper expo as a way to take the gold sure, but after that almost nothing happened until the game was decided by one encounter (which itself was decided by numbers and upgrades from the early economic advantage). I guess it's to be expected there's a lot of yes votes when you get a fan favourite from SlayerS scraping through though. | ||

I don't play T so most of what I know about the matches comes from watching GSL. Everyone seems to have reverted back to bio and marine/tank and that is a complete fucking travesty. David Kim needs to start thinking through the ramifications of the patches that they push through. I seem to remember mech as recent as Bomber vs MKP in Prime vs ST, Bomber could've won that game if he didn't decide to a-move all his unsieged tanks into stimmed marauders | ||

I like seeing all styles of play, but I just hope mech doesn't disappear completely.After I saw Ganzi vs MVP in the first game of their group I was so upset Icouldn't even watch any more games for the rest of the day. They just made Marines and Medivacs and attack-moved them into eachother, with the occasional half-assed drop. I can't remember what Ganzi's TvT is like in general off the top of my head, but to see something so awful from MVP, the best player in the world, was really saddening. At least as far as games that have actually been played, it's a joke to claim that the matchup is less homogenous now: every unit had a use, even landed Vikings, and almost every game consisted of tons of tense transitions between different mech and air compositions, with the occasional madman trying to use bio and maybe even pulling it off. Now I feel like every TvT I've seen since the patch consists entirely of Banshee harrass from 6 months ago, shitty cheeses, and Marines running around and arranging themselves in neat lines while they shoot eachother. Bio can be fun to watch when it's being played well against a good mech, but Bio vs Bio battles are absolutely fucking horrible to watch. I really hope this is just a temporary overreaction from players to the nerf, and Hellions aren't actually useless in the matchup now. I was happy to watch TvT all day the way it was before, now I think I'd rather kill myself than watch any more Marine battles. | ||

I guess it's to be expected there's a lot of yes votes when you get a fan favourite from SlayerS scraping through though. The question for me was if his reaper play would be good enough to deny scouting until his gold paid off. And yes after that phase the game was pretty onesided, but in fairness it only took about 5 minutes from the point where MMA was ahead enough for it to be over, till a battle happened. If you dislike TvT so much (because that is basically what TvT is, eco, posturing and then one often one fight) sure the game was boring for you. For me it was quite fun. | ||
