I might have missed an earlier game, but the first I saw was the 3port banshee all-in off of one base; it beat a three base protoss. Rainbow is considerably better though, so it doesn't really show anything. | ||

It was kinda stereotypically what FRB is supposed to be lol | ||

This messes with the game design. To counter this, I suggest to put the gas further back, so that you need 4-5 (maybe 4.5?) workers to saturate it. | ||

If you follow the korean scene their games have been going away from death ball fights more and more so altering the game like this is just a recipe for awful http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=321242 read then come back | ||

TvP is going through a huge metagame shift because Terrans are having a tough time, and it's not just about more engagements, there's a lot more thought into securing more expansions which just diversifies gameplay. Look at the state of PvZ, you either 2 base all in or 3 base turtle because nothing else is viable. Balanced or not, PvZ is a stupid matchup and I'm really interested to see what FRB does with it. Back to TvP though, Terrans are constantly pressuring Protoss to try and avoid that lategame deathball situation, which comes from Protoss having easy thirds on just about every tournament map. FRB changes that completely. The current TvP isn't constantly attacking to deny position, or force an army away, it's just constantly poking for vulnerabilities and hoping that the toss will make a mistake, it's not accomplishing anything specific. FRB would make far more opportunities for that kind of thing. | ||
