Eh yeah roach on roach hoping to get a unit clumped is kinda lame. Really good zvz, seeing both players spread their roaches before the engagement and utilize infestors for more than just catching globs of roaches unaware and owning them, that's good stuff.

This looks like Khaldor is taking the photo right ? We can see his skin head on the glass reflexion.

TvZ is in a pretty bad state right now. I think a lot of the maps changes were to balance the strong Terran early mid game. But then the Queen buff went in with the same maps so the balance tilted back too much. Terrans actually did well in the MLG qualifiers because it had maps like TDA, Skakurus Plateau in the map pool. I know terrans get a lot of grief for picking Antiga whenever they lose game 1 vs Zerg. But really, that is the only good map for terrans now.

In this qualifier specific, the terrans that made it out (MKP, Byun) both didn't really have strong zergs in their bracket. MKP's had Violet and he got taken out by Lure. And a lot of the top terrans were taken out by zergs. MMA, Polt, Jjajki. The only terran that actually did well vs Zerg was dreamertt (took out Hyun and July)

And antiga isn't even a good map for terran. It's one of the rare 50% maps in the pool. The new maps like metropolis are 30% terran winrate ><
The mapstate is the same than it was during the terran op era, when all maps were heavily T favored and "good" zergs or protoss maps were 50% maps.

i could watch TvT for hours if it's played by really skilled players. ZvZ is not entertaning at all

Basically it is the only matchup I would watch for hours. I don't see how anyone can enjoy roach infestor clumps fighting endlessly.

There's a lot more to ZvZ as of late then just roach infestor. We've seen ultralisk rushes, nydus plays, mass infestor and broodlord usage a lot more in ZvZ as of late.
