And not simply judging from this showmatch, my ladder experience in TvT has declined, but it's possible I'm just facing better players and am not used to their style. It feels like it just might be the messiest mirror match up right now. depends alot on the opening builds players choose imo. tank wars are still pretty strategical though. | ||

He also used to have the worst banshee defense ever and I would see him die to cloakeds banshee a lot. His TvT this year is so much better now and is night and day compared to what it used to be. | ||

MKP is just playing like a straight up beast...inelegant, but effective and brutal. | ||

I don't really remember a time where MKP's TvT was under 50%, but I guess now it's a better matchup of his because zergs and protoss matchups have gotten harder. Maybe the blue flame helion era that lasted around 2 months or so. That was a tough period for MKP haha. | ||

You mean like the 2 rax marine, marauder all-in? That was his most recent TvT build. Not the elegant TvT of old, of MVP or anyone else. | ||

It feels like it just might be the messiest mirror match up right now. it's just MKP's tvts, they're not really drawn out tank wars but very timing and micro based from what i've seen this year he actually has the highest tvt winrate of any player this year lol. have only dropped matches to alive (2-1 marauder proxy) and taeja (after tilting hard). won every single other BOx and most BO1s this year  looking forward to him playing Mvp in ro16! | ||

Not every game can be a beautiful management game. Didn't happen in BW TvZ, and certainly not in SC2 TvT. I think you've just been watching a few bad ones. The problem is, there hasn't really been too many TvT's recently, since the good Terrans aren't getting far enough in tournaments to meet each other. | ||

The quality of dreamhack games were pretty poor actually, especially the finals. Problem is there were no terrans in any of the later rounds. Can only stand so many 2 base all ins in PvZ. | ||
