Gumiho 3-0 MKP
 I hope that it doesn't happen though.

Today's match look cool, but OMGWHATTHEHELL I want to watch Jjakji vsDRG so much after Jjakji's performance in GSTL.
|
Oh cool. Hoping to see some ridiculously abusive builds to steal >_>
Can probably count on MKP to do just that.
Oh...it's pre-hellbatdrop nerf

MKP: I only need 1 scv to win ^^

|

That was a fun game. Now that the cargo space was nerfed, we won't be able to see this kind of abuse for much longer.
|
It's sad all of these are pre hellbat nerfs. They basicly mean nothing.
|
lolol TvT in HotS soo damn funny xD Good decision making by MKP and nice micro dropping hellbats on the last mules and picking up quickly before banshee kills them
|
TvT in HotS is like this...

He had his ro16 group to prepare for.

It's a mirror match, they both have access to OP stuff. It may be silly but It's balanced.

Watch Dream vs Jjakji in the GSTL pre season if you want to watch an amazing HotS TvT, the VOD is free even.

Just all hypothetical though so it doesnt really matter.

Why, hello there, little scv. What are you up to?

early PvP 4gate wars were more fun than this type of cheesy TvT

Why does Blizzard do those weird experiments when the result is completely fuckin obvious?

It's such a fiasco, MLG has been rather unfortunate with the quality displayed in these showdown matches.

Well, no. This is better. It's the beta, so everyone is searching for builds and counters. It's not 4g v 4g or the equivalent reapers v reapers. Not to mention, this is the only time you'll see these builds. They have already been nerfed. Cherish the fact that your grandchildren will never witness a siege tank and 4 marines evaporate into this air from hellion fire.

I didn't check the timer, did the games passed the 10 minute mark once?

Recap of last 3 games anyone?

G1: Proxy starport hellbat drop of MKP v cloak banshee. Both lost all scv's but MKP got a viking out and killed the banshees. - GG
G2: MKP 888's but Gumiho goes for fast reaper and defended. Gumiho won by building a factory in MKPs base and building hellions for a GG.
G3: MKP goes for a 4hellbat drop v Gumiho's 11FE. Gumiho had a tank and 4 marines that got killed in seconds. GG.

Hellbats are kinda insane.

Sillly gumiho building units that aren't hellbats
|
|

Hellbats shouldn't be healed by Medivacs.
|
I like how hellbat vs other units matchups never make sense :D "Oh shit, those marines and scvs are getting decimated by those hellbats!" "Oh shit he has to fly off his vikings, those are hellbats!" "Oh shit the siege tanks, not good fighting those hellbats!" "Oh shit, what did he hope to accomplish with that immortal? Killing those hellbats, are you dreaming?" "Oh shit, not a good moment to build ultralisks..."

Well today was pretty much ruined by the fact the games were played before one of the biggest balance changes since the start. -.-

Hellbat good unit. I doubt the upgrade will change a lot about it. Who need marauders if you have hellbats!

Wow I would not like to play game like this. So APM intensive and stressful :p

Yawn
TvT is just fucking dumb right now between super early reapers and hellbat play. Even with the cargo nerf you can still just run them into everything.

I enjoyed that last game. Hellbat drops are very MKP. So much microability. Too bad they are out of the game (perhaps dropping 2 will have an effect too... but I doubt it).

Hots is utter allin cheese shit at this stage

I´m pretty sure hellbats beat marauders 1vs1 and they can be reactored. And finally with medivacs hellbats don´t have any range problems. Just go pure hellbat like MKP did hahaha.

Colissi drops in PvP would look like this.
|
That was on the old patch right (balance patch 13, rather than 14)? Dropping 2 hellbats instead of 4 like that is much less effective.
|
so far the player line up for MLG Dallas is looking pretty damn good. Flash, Leenock, Life, Bomber, PartinG, herO[jOin], INnoVation , Last, Rain, SaSe, BabyKnight, Stephano, Bly, ThorZaIN, Ret, Creator, Mvp, Seed and MKP.

Edit: That's the joke, I guess.

The speed boost is just as big of a joke as hellbats being invincible.
