Mech is superior, you just need to play it right, Byun didn't have enough defense in his main, even after he cut off Jjakji's army so that he needed either engage Byun straight up or base trade. It's not just the strategy, it's how you execute it.

I definitely don't want to get into a huge, drawn out argument on whether mech or bio is superior, but I don't think we can say whether bio or mech is superior to one or the other. There are unique circumstances when one style is superior over another, and it also depends on the map (bigger the map, the more bio-favored).

I'm pretty sure i read Polt write somewhere he know Mech could be better, but he prefer and will play Bio the longer he can.

I'll direct you to what Bagration said. My point is that saying Mech is superior is like saying Robo-tech is better than Templar-tech

Byun also didn't really contest the 4th, 5th and 6th with hellions... Even if it was a base trade scenario, Jjajki had enough infrastructure/mining outside his main/nat/3rd with which to reproduce from. But for Byun, once his main was breached, it is gg.

I think if anything the way MMA dismantled MVP, think bio into biomech depending on the map is much better. SC2 is just too fast paced for slow immobile mech. But really it's map dependent. I'm no pro, but that's the way it seems.

MKP meched TvP against Genius in a tournament match. Is his play wrong? No, because it worked once. There is nobody capable of playing mech at a high level aside from Happy, MVP, and aLive of late. No one strategy is right or wrong, and I cannot honestly believe that you'd play this game and still make a comment like that. If you want to actually discuss this PM me, I don't want to derail the thread.

Keep in mind Polt recognized that Mech was superior to bio in an interview too.

Well, we have to remember maps are also getting bigger (likely in response to PvT 1-1-1 more than bio vs mech). Mech is great when there is one main path to attack. You can get turrets and move out. But with multiple paths, bio/bio mech's mobility becomes very advantageous. You NEED to do well with helion harrass to make Mech work (see GuMiho and Alive)

Ok, I'm derailing the thread but I need to clear it up what I meant so no-one else asks

Mech is not superior. Bio is not superior

It was a jab at Artosis who ALWAYS says mech is better in TvT

Jjakji needs to take a risk at this point, just max out to the ideal comp as fast as possible and pull some scvs to buffer zealot damage or doom drop Creator's main or something. He cannot win this straight up
