Very rare that Thors are built against Skytoss, just mainly add in a few for mech compositions. That probably wouldn't be a gamebreaking change as long as it was small.
True, i was just trying to think of every possible scenario where Thors could be built to deal with air units.

To those people that are talking about balance: are you fucking serious? If you're good at mutalisks then you are good at mutalisks what is this "abusing mutalisks" shit. Did people call out the game when July and Jaedong could win games just based on mutalisks alone, no.

When CJ picks up aLive, Oz, and Losira then they are the best team.

MMA definitely the MVP of the day, if he plays like that tomorrow I see no way Acer can lose this. Awesome to see him back in form.

So basicly you are saying Zerg is favored in the ZvT matchup ? Again ?

The only thing tanks actually are good at in TvZ is fighting off Roach/Hydra, which was possible even before the patch. Instead of a more diverse TvZ, we now have even more strategic limited terrans, who pretty much have to go MMMM+Thors every game.
Sry I meant direct or indirect nerf. Like buffing Thors in some way would improve TvZ.

LR'ing Ryung games are always fun, so in a way I'm glad we'll probably see more of his games ^_^

I dislike when terrans abuse marines to shoot all my stuff. I think it's unfair.
You can't nerf mutas because of ZvP, a Thor buff is something I would certainly support.

Think you should let terrans figure it out before doing a buff. Especially when I only see Soulkey and Scarlett winning in the matchup consistently.

They've proven that they can buy off the best player of the world( at that time at least) from the claws of kespa. So if they really want something, they have enough money for it.
I also really enjoyed that broadcast. Couldnt watch all of it but the end of acer vs axiom was just great entertainment. Im glad that taketv provides such a friendly environment for players that everyone dares to come out of his/her shell.
Too bad that difnt reflect too much in viewer numbers but i wish them all the best for the final day.

Gogo team acer! Great games by MMA and birthday girl Scarlett today.

It would probably be an increase in splash damage or attack speed. But I think it would need to be pretty small.

Matchup can be balanced overall but still have issues. Do I think zerg is necessarily favored in TvZ? No. Do I think mutas should be toned down a bit after WM nerf? Yes.
Remember, Blizzard nerfed mines when balance was almost 50:50, mines weren't nerfed because of balance issues but to promote tank usage.
The matchup basically remained the same (apart for making a few thors), it just got harder for terran in a matchup that was already almost perfectly balanced.

So you think because they got one expensive player they have enough money for more... Or maybe that one player has emptied their budget for other expensive players?
That's like saying a team got Peyton Manning on a huge contract so they probably have money for Tom Brady as well.
EDIT: I just realized you're from EU so my American football reference may be shit. I apologize.

Soulkey hasnt really won a lot of TvZ since the GSL vs. Innovation, hes barely above 50%. You need to look for other examples, as his ZvT is quite lacking

People should just stop to believe what blizzard say when they tweak the balance. You'd have to be clueless to think the tank buff/wm nerf would change composition in TvZ and I hope they just blatlantly lie. Or they really don't know what they're doing which would be kinda scary.

If Acer does get Dear, Axiom-Acer needs to join Proleague. They could probably make the playoffs, and who knows, they might win another teamleague.
