Part of why PvP is so good is that you just don't see it often, especially in the GSL. Same with ZvZ. The rarity of the matchup makes it more enjoyable to watch when it is played.

Ban people because they like a certain player or because they lack knowledge? Really? They might be stupid, but let it go.

lol this had not occurred to me

how ironic

For me PvP has been the most enjoyable Protoss match up to watch for a long time. It is the only Protoss matchup that almost never ends in deathball.

I don't understand why everybody thinks that warp prism from HerO was a good strategy. That was an ordinary strategy in PVP and I encountered that countless times on the ladder. Normally you are dealing with one warp prism coming from behind the mineral line and the main army will attack up front. A couple of good forcefields would counter this strategy perfectly, not to mention that Hero hectically mis-operated the strategy by sending the warp prism up front.

Yes..it is. The skill gap between the 2 is far too large for hero to win the next 3.

HerO's first televised match was in a GSTL against Squirtle, where he lost.

Fuck.

People saying PvP is a terrible MU are struck very hard by the hyperbole train. It's fast paced, micro intensive, and every decision you make can win you the game or gets shat on in an instant. It's glorious to behold.


Still nothing compared to ling/bling wars, if what you described is what you find glorious.


I love the intense micro battles in both mirrors. At least you don't have roflstomps due to racial differences in unit composition due to the game's asymmetrical balance in non-mirrors. And TvT is like a glorious chess match.

Woot, Fionn's on our side for the finals.


You fool, we don't want Fionn on our side.

Have you not heard of the curse?

He is a terran and thus fionn is on our side )

I don't think so, Squirtle seems to be pretty tough mentally - he was in huge deficits against Alive in IPL yet still managed to force extended games and went the distance.


He also plays a pretty conservative early game and uses pretty aggressive timings himself. He might be a little more well rounded for the finals.

Too bad for HerO but Squirtle is just technically playing immaculately here. 3-0 incoming, the skill gap is just way too large.


see this is why i hate squirtle fanboys

u seem to underestimate his skills but hero's gonna make a comeback for this.

lets c about it.

I love Z v Z when it's low-econ ling-bling, drone-sniping type fights. So back and forth, so intense. Better than mass roaches / infestor A-click fights....

Mutas in Z v Z also make things interesting with roaches base-trading etc.

no, ban them for balance whining, which is expressly forbidden in the LR

Most tourneys don't have less PvP's and ZvZ's then TvT nowadays

But PvP's and ZvZ's just ends much faster ^^

the cost of those mistakes being high does not make the mistakes themselves large.

Nestea vs Losira was actually one of the better finals IMO, despite the fact that Nestea crushed him. It definitely looked very skill-based and not at all coinflippy.

I like watching PvP if I don't know who the players are. But rooting for a player in a matchup like PvP is soul-destroying.
