Lan tournament suffers connection issues but sucks up to Blizzard regardless.
It's a scary to think what else they could get away with.

By the way the only correct answer to the above poll was yes.

I seriously don't understand why people aren't begginning to acknowledge ZvZ as a really good matchup.

It's soooo positional with so many tactics like sniping queens and "fungal walloffs" and burrowed infestors and tunneling claw roaches and it's a really even matchup that rewards the better player. It requires immense micro but revolves around macro.

It's also one of the few matchup's in the game where you can reguarly make comebacks.


I'd say zvz is better than pvz and slightly better than pvp but way worse than the other matchups. You act like other matchups don't have these 'tactics' and positional play, when positional play is the definition of tvz and tvt.


TvZ to me is way too stale and a fragment of what it was.
IT usually just focuses around a pre-hive push or a pre-spire/infestation pit push, which then determines the game. Creep makes it so that you either win or lose with that push.

You don't see old 1-2 tank mairne medivac pushes or back and forth battles determining the game, it's pretty exciting when there are mutas but they only last for a while and then it gets into broodlord infestor where T loses.

And TvT imo is the best matchup right now, followed by ZvZ, then TvP.

And ZvZ is definitely wayyyy better than PvP, the only thing cool about PvP is micro and that happens in ZvZ


That pre-hive timing is way more interesting than roach/hydra/infestor though. I agree the matchup has fallen off but still rate both it and tvp (which is 2nd on my list) higher than zvz. ZvZ is soooo predictable with brief moments of brilliance.

The thread really is slow today. People don't seem to be emotionally invested in ZvZ matches.

Only so many times you can watch roach/infestor vs roach/infestor before it gets a bit old.

And what about tank/viking vs tank/viking?


Way more interesting to be honest, because theres a lot more decision making in managing a tank/viking army and positioning correctly. Cant walk around in a ball with tank/viking.

But watching only it all the time get's boring right? I like TvT as well but damn GomTvT got really boring after a while.

TvT is best matchup in game by far. Better player wins more often than any other.

Blizz ruined it in HOTS, but TvT in Wings is truly special.


Luckily every other matchup besides TvT seems to be improved in HotS.

I really hope so, game needs more balance and variety.

The problem I had with the TvT era of the GSL is either the games were awful or they were absolutely amazing and you never knew which it was going to be until you watched it (if you watched live anyway).

Wow, no surprise people are losing intrest in SC2.
ZvPvT in the groups, then Zerg vs Zerg vs Zerg (vs Zerg...).
I wonder how is this possible. Blizzard says this game is balanced.
