Some matches have been good, others boring. The most boring to me was Effort vs Lizzy, CJ vs KT ace match. They didn't really do much at all then 1 engagement and it was all over.
I think the thing I miss the most from BW is the little skirmishes taking place in 2-3 places all over the map. SC2 seems a lot more centralized in terms of how close together the expansions are and where the whole army of each player is.

This is common lately. Watch pro games and you'll regularly see 1rax tech lab, 2 with reactors, and very few/no marauders till after the first medivacs pop. Marine dps is great early on and you'll be using them before splash gets out of control. Then you add on 2 more rax at least to start pumping marauders.
Haha everyone who doesn't watch SC2 is gonna think P is so imba now. As soon as they play some GSL Terrans they'll see it's not that bad, MVP won this GSL playing pretty much only TvPs.
Apart from the lack of ghosts and understanding in the mid game the Terrans mechanics are really good, their BW experience is really shining through. One thing no other sc2 does is the AMAZING storm dodging and splitting.

such an oversimplification...
flying played that so well. The bait colossus (with no range!) which bogus saw forced bogus to make vikings, which were completely useless against the 3-3 gateway/templar army that flying was actually going for. In essence, Bogus was preparing for the wrong army which is why he looked kinda hopeless. Flying completely outplayed him there. Woongjin sc2 looking to be in good shape.

They aren't SC2 guys, they are BW/SC2 guys. You can't even play the same game twice in a row, you have to alternate between the two. Most of them have been playing properly for like 1-2 months, so yeah they aren't Code A level yet.
I swear all the terran's in TvP I've seen except reality go "Please don't be ready for my attack, please don't be ready for my attack, crap he was ready for my attack".

Yeah, it was crazy to see the skill in the micro when compared to the overall decision-making. The final battle was one sided but the splits made his army last so much longer than it would have.
