TvT's on Planet S have been pretty good too. Woongjin HonSin's last two TvT's on Planet S were really good games.

I wonder if Puma has been seriously practicing in 2012 at all. He used to be a much better player.

I think Arkanoid is a pretty boring map. That was TvT so it was still okay to watch tho

what a terrible map

Really?
I mean, it could have some more optical candy, but... it's the first time I'm seeing a game on this map and it is great so far. Very crazy positional play, drops, army splits. That's how Starcraft 2 should be!


Welcome to TvT. Not like the map is helping for that to happen, but the MU.


Well, as a Random player I know a bit about TvT myself, but this game is very different. Since there is no watchtower and so much more space for drops they can't rely on one position for their whole army.
This is way more refreshing than every TvT I saw recently, where it is all about "Take the watchtower", "Siege at the watchtower", "Wait for your enemy to run into your tanks"


I didn't see it refreshing to be honest, i enjoyed it, but it wasn't OMG CRAZY. I think the map is good for TvT, but what makes it interesting is the MU, since they are more old school race while the others got stupidly wrong reinforcement mechanics. Watch a non TvT on this map and you will realize what i am speaking about.

Puma manages to get an advantage in the early build openers, turn it into an upgrade advantage, and then...

completely fails to even attempt to use that advantage for twenty minutes...
finally engages in a major battle at the ONLY point in the game where he was at an upgrade DISADVANTAGE...
mismicros that same battle so that, despite heavily outnumbering his opponent, the same number of marines are actually fighting for both players...
proceeds to completely get outmaneuvered for the rest of the game by simply hoping Fantasy was making noobishly bad mistakes and finding out, over and over, that Fantasy is not a total noob...

he used to be good .

Love 'em. So refreshing to see new maps like these.

And what's better, we get a TvT on Bifrost next.

Are we watching the same game? It just that Puma isn't playing as good.


stalemale maps are always borng. We want action everywhere all the time. This map is just terribad.


I don't think you're actually watching the same game..

why are you making these kind of post? You really didn't get what I meant by stalemale?

TvT is the ultimate "stalemate" match-up. But where you say stalemate, I say positional play. When there's tanks involved, the game slows a bit, but makes positioning and decision making so much more important. That game Fantasy played safe because he knew Puma was starving. He held his advantage and put the burden and pressure on Puma to do something. And that "stalemate" would have eventually broken when Fantasy got his BCs out on the field.

Puma threw game away way more than fantasy won it poor puma

There's a talent to making people throw games away, Fantasy made Puma look like a b-teamer


Fantasy played so uninspired, Puma played so much better and got ahead at times where Fantasy should have been way further than puma, but then Puma just goes and chokes out and throws it away time after time

I have nfi what game you were just watching.

Very good players make good players look terrible.
Puma didn't play bad, but fantasy had the right amount of units at the right places. Maybe he is more used to playing on this map.


Exactly this. Fantasy has been an amazing terran @ sc1 and he will do great in sc2 too.

Now let's see Taejja and his TvT, I think it will be better than Puma's, but will it be good enough to beat Jyj :p?

Stalemate maps? wtf? There were a lot of small engagements, positional plays going on in this game all the time. Much more enjoyable to watch than some stupid 200 vs 200 battle after 20 minutes of sitting in the watchtower.


I agree so much

We need more maps like whirlmwind, arkanoid... on the ladder
And less "one road to rules them all" maps

When are those being played?

they start on the 6th of Jan

Fantasy has impressed me a lot. He seems to be a very tactical, smart player with sick multitasking.

lol are you serious? bias much? puma got outplayed hard.


He flew 3 medivacs and 2 or vikings into Fanta's marines. That's when Fantasy got a clear lead in the game.
Don't think we can say that he throw away the game though.
