People keep saying PvP isn't a volatile matchup, but it's easily the most volatile matchup in the game. Fact is it's really narrow in terms of what skillsets it takes to end up taking the win, and involves a lot of luck sometimes too.

According to the schedule, Tastosis is off until Ro8.

The only non-volatile mirror match is TvT really.

I must say Mr.Bitter is possibly the best caster now. He seems to be able to cast with literally every other commentator w/ no problems. I like him w/ Rotterdam the most but him and day9 are pretty good as well.

I want to see Tod vs Ret!

Almost too volatile for my taste. It happens when the no name plays better than the big name. Seiplo's probe count has always been higher than Huk's. In game one he was perfectly prepared for DTs, in game two he managed to balance his aggression/defense way better than Huk. PvP in general dunno, but this match wasn't volatile. DT vs robo in game one, exact same opening for both with the slight difference between blink vs observer in game two. Having a big name doesn't necessarly mean having a free win against someone you don't know. For what I know, maybe Seiplo has spent a lot of time training and winning. This is  Seiplo for you. And in DH he has already beaten Genius and TLO. There are no major tournaments because he hasn't been invited anywhere and his team probably can't afford to send him to MLG etc. I was quite impressed by seiplo's macro especially when he was down probes after Huk's attack into his main game one. Even if he goes out vs hero he's gotten me interested in following him from now on. I think there are a lot of impressive EU players that I just don't get a chance to see if they aren't already well known. Also wtf sweden why so many good protoss? Are you insinuating that we don't have any good zergs/terrans?  maybe, but Swedes had amazing trukks and big shootaz back in the day
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH \o/

I don't think zvz is AS volatile a matchup as PvP or even close outside the initial build orders, but even then it's not an auto loss unless you like 15 hatch on a bad map against an early pool + drone rush. You get a lot of scouting because you're constantly being aggressive and your overlords give you a lot of vision on the map.

Brilliant plan by Nerchio to attack the cannon as soon as evo chamber is destroyed, but Mana is on top of that.
|
They know each other so much!

love that he always 3 hatch against Forge FE :D

that's an odd thing for Tasteless to sign.

Also, Seiplo was the best no-name in the world. Now people know who he is so he's just another player most people have heard of.

What's volatile about one player expanding and getting ahead in economy, and the other player expanding later and cutting Probe production while being unable to do any damage?
Game 2 was as clean and straightforward of a game as in any other matchup.
