Is it so hard to admit herO just played better today? Instead of all the fucking whining - everyone saying protoss is boring, but from what I have seen, the most boring thing around is the constant fucking whining...

I'm really not sure how anyone could say how herO was playing is boring. Would we rather go back to the days where Protoss could basically only hide in their base in fear of drops until it was time to move out with a maxed army? An aggressive option like Blink makes games way more interesting, imo. I also think that with the last round of patches, it's settling into a more proper "aggressive" option rather than just an auto win opening. I still think Terran players maybe have not explored widow mine openings enough, either, but we'll see.


I think the problem is more with the maps now. Some of the maps still have too big of an area to blink and widow mines cannot cover them all.

i dont think you can forbid people to exchange money

in borderline situations they could call it a "donation"


Even in the initial interview carmac said, that it would be allowed and may happen

Keep deluding yourself.

There will never be a PvP series even half as good as some of the TvTs we've seen in HoTS.

How can you watch a series like Innovation vs Taeja at WCS Season 2 and not admit that TvT just has the highest potential of any of the mirrors. Nothing that PvP will ever offer can even hope to compare.

It's all taste. I personally think TvT is quite boring. Especially compared to the current state of PvP


It's not taste if the only players agreeing with you are protoss players.

I feel like I have to apologize to Darkhorse, I thought it was common sense that "you're wrong for liking X" was a stupid sentence to write, from reading this thread it appears not to be.

The truth


You may like it more and there may be great games from it but MMA vs Gumiho and Innovation vs Taeja will live on forever.

PvP has come a long way but I still prefer TvT. Olli only likes matchups with Protoss in them.

Is Olli satan?

Too bad the mapmaking scene kind of died out. They only come out for TLMC contests now.

not lower than for taeja vs life
No foreigners = no 100k viewers

It really looks like all the casual viewers have move to somewhere else. Even cs:go have almost double the viewers. ESL will probably have to think soon if it's even worth to keep sc2 on their big events.

TvT is so rare this year, such few games

Even when we had TvT more often, I always found it boring. I think watching stimmed bio just run around all over the map sniping stuff is silly, and tank lines are a snooze fest.

That isn't to say I don't acknowledge the intricacies of the matchup, and how positioning and such is so important, I just don't find it particularly interesting to watch. I feel like PvP is much more interesting from a viewer standpoint these days. It's only been recently that PvP has reached this level, though, so I can sort of understand if people are still in the old mindset of "lol PvP sux so much bro"
