I don't think he'll win vs Classic simply because his creativity just isn't anywhere near as valuable in TvP as it is in TvZ but it's good to see him not go last in this group. Yeah I feel he is hit especially hard by the staleness of the TvP matchup from the terran perspective. | ||

It's not that Bio is better (which it is) Mech just has way too many weaknesses a good Protoss can exploit while having so few strengths to make it worth using. The few times we've seen it employed successfully at the pro-Level it has been in timing attack all ins, most of which are only successful due to significant Hellion or Widow Mine damage done due to poor preparation or scouting from the Protoss. That's not viability, that's fluke wins. I am pretty sure for all Korea broadcasted tvp mech game. The win rate is higher than its lose rate. Also don't forget mine drop is one opening for mech and also bio. The fact that the terran chooses mech as a follow up shows mech does have potential. | ||

The match up is pure mechanics at this point, there's so few ways to catch a Protoss off guard in a BoX series. Doesn't help that you always have to play safe in case they decide THEY want to be aggressive and go for any one of their all ins they can use. Terrans like Gumiho just can't survive in that kind of environment. | ||

But it certainly can work We saw supernova winning with mech so at least it worked at pro level occasionally That is not how it works. Before the tank buff and combined upgrades we never saw mech in Hots TvZ as well. Now we have 2 possible playstyles. If mech was really viable against protoss as you claim it is, we would see it at least in like 1/10th of games played. And I remember that Supernova game. It was on Frost, horizontal spawn. Not sure who was the protoss but I remember that he opened oracle and despite being able to fly around Supernova's base and scout he recognized he is playing against mech super late. And before that he went for a 2 base storm all in and suicided everything into bunkers and siege tanks. SN also had WM on both 3rd bases so his third was delayed for a long time because he had no robo and detection. Only then he added robos and Supernova already had like a 100 supply advantage when he moved out. So it was basically a major screw up on protoss part. Not the best example of mech being viable. You know mech is super rare since I remember almost the whole game, lol | ||

Maru could've win with upgradeless marines... that's the case for quite a few mech vP games when you just get a good harass/bbq off and then can win with mass vikings if you want. | ||

I watch more Starcraft than is probably healthy and I think I've seen ONE Mech win in all of that time that wasn't the result of some kind of fluke damage done from Hellions or Widow Mines and I've NEVER seen it successful at the top levels of play. Thing is, when you do that kind of damage it doesn't even matter what you follow it up with. | ||
