I don't know about TvP being back and forth recently. I've seen two recent boring PvTs.
The games I recently saw (MC vs Virus + Parting vs Polt), it was just a big ball of death is going back and forth vs another big ball of death (that Parting vs Polt game was actually a good example of what I mean - they waited until nearly 200/200 then proceeded to simply attack the same exact spot back and forth). Was it back and forth? Yep. Did it take place all over the map? Nope. So, it's not really the back and forth full of action like BW or that Rainbow vs Puck game.
Now I haven't seen too much of 6m1hg but I really liked Rainbow vs Puck game 1. It was what I liked and it resembled BW.
Recent PvT in Brood War (Spoilers for the proleague finals): + Show Spoiler +
Also as for high yield gas being too effective (well if they are)?
Okay, admittedly, I don't follow BW. I played sporadically back in the day so I know the units, but I don't know the strategy and matchups.
However, I don't understand how your link is different than the "big ball of death going back and forth vs another big ball of death" with a smattering of harassment. You had DT harass, high templar drops, and because of the effectiveness of the harass, the orange protoss player basically took his big ball of death (temp/zeal/dragoon) and a-moved into teal's base. All the action took place on the bottom left -> top right diagonal corridor OR at some base (due to a drop or harass), similar to any SC2 game. Don't get me wrong, I found it awesomely exciting - the casting was top notch, and the players played well. I just don't see how it is any more exciting than MKP vs Parting or other SC2 matches.
One thing I've been wondering a little bit about this tournament is: where is LaLuSh? I mean, he is pretty much the inspiration for the whole FRB movement and even commented in the Breadth of Gameplay thread. He should definately be a part of the next tournament, imho. =D
Hey everyone, we're going to be casting the final Ro16 games between Fitzyhere and Goswser in about 10 minutes as well as the games between ClashShew and Heavenslight. Feel free to tune in as we get these out of the way before fridays broadcast!!!
If you haven't already, be sure to check out the rest of the vods from the Ro16 @ youtube.com/wiseoldsenex
The VoD's for the whole FRB Grand Tournament Round of 16 are now UP! We got 6 of the 8 matches done live, and just finished up the final two sets with coL.Gowser vs cvg.FitzyHere and HeavensLight vs ClashShew. You can start with Game 1 of each of the matches here:

To watch the whole Round of 16 check out the full playlist here. If you like the casting be sure to subscribe, it really helps out the tournament and will be really important for the FRB GT 2. :D Thanks to everyone who already has!
The anti-spoiler vods really aren't very effective. You can tell they aren't real games because they are the only ones which look like that FRB logo. Also, when I look at the videos uploaded in order (how they appear on my youtube homepage,) most of the non-spoiler vods are at the top because you uploaded them later. It's really obvious when a game hasn't been played.
What do you think about doing an open qualifier for these events in the future, instead of basing the selection on ladder rank?
Just a quick reminder to everyone that we will be casting the Round of 8 tonight at 8pm EST/5pm PST! We're very excited to see how the matches went and can't wait to analyze them with you. Be sure to tune in for the broadcast!
Just reminding everyone that in a little less than an hour we have the Round of 8 of the FRB GT starting! If you can tear yourself away from MLG, the schedule is:
ST_RainBOw (T) vs GoSutgun (Z) GoSuviBE (Z) vs NrGLuckyFool (T) vileIllusion (R) vs cvgFitzyHere (Z)
Unfortunately because of travel and schedule conflicts coLGanZi (T) vs ClashShew (P) will be delayed till next week. We've been working with the players to get a schedule for the upcoming weeks and there shouldn't be any more delays, but because of MLG it wasn't possible to get all the sets played for the live broadcast.
EPT
Can't wait to watch the matches tonight.
