Imo mech is really boring to watch comparing to bio. Everyone has their own flavours i guess.


The issue I have with bio or even marine tank is it looks positional, but it's more like speedchess rather than chess. It's all about army movement rather than positioning and pure bio is just contain the mech guy into megadrop which i find silly.

@TeamIM_
oh yea! Everyone just got IMed by MVP, Yoda, Yonghwa, and First! Exciting round 4!!! http://twitpic.com/c9w0k9


That picture.



AHH HAHAHA wtf is that picture?


You seem very young if you don't know what that is.


I have no idea what the hell the context means though.

Trolls
Goats
Bridge

I get the reference to the nursery rhyme/story... but how is it related to this scenario at IEM?

I'm as lost as you. I know the troll dolls (I was scared of them as a child... uncanny valley and all that), but the picture has me fucking confused, haha.


Is it one of them trolls that you stick a pen up its bum or was that a different one?


X_o

Yeah some of them you could do that with, they were lots different kinds, different sizes and such. The legs of this troll are ominously spread... But I am not sure I want to go there, hahaha.

Mvp's big mistake was that he took an engagement. I think he just has to threaten Yoda at all fronts all the time, while teching to BCs. I don't think bio play is dead or anything, I just think Mvp got caught in a bad spot.

He was behind in every area because he had to devote all his time and attention to the mines, glad that mvp is opening gas now.
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

Good thing Mvp is switching opener, not sure if I consider 1 rax fe obsolete yet, but it didn't work well against YoDa at all.

You're ignorance is quite astonishing, bio is much more exciting in SC2 then it was in BW. Its very fast with good damage output but its also very, very fragile, thus you can't brute force most well entrenched opponents, you need to run them apart. The best and most memorable TvT games we've ever seen where either marine-tank wars, like Flash vs Ryung, with beautiful positional play, surrounds and flanks, or it was pure bio vs pure mech, where the bio player does his best to keep the mech player off balance and contained, while the mech player does his best to position well enough to receive attacks and then go for a big death push.
Not saying mech vs mech is boring or anything, but it will become stale quite quickly if it becomes the only standard, it doesn't often as much overall excitement as bio centric styles.

I don't see how you can say he is ignorant when it is his personal opinion on what he finds exciting.
