Taiwan is good, but they don't know enough about how to handle Terrans.

Nevermind just tuned in and see that Slam is down. Maybe Major's mech too strong.
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

I'm no TvT specialist, but isn't there any way MajOr could abuse the fact Bomber never scouts ?

Some kind of proxy cheese.


Gas-first proxy Factory->Starport for Marine/Hellion/Medivac elevator right next to his base. Alternatively, gas first proxy Factory/Banshee into 1 base Marine/Tank/Banshee allin.


Thanks guys. I wonder why people don't try that kind of stuff more often against him, he loves money so much he never (am I wrong) scv scouts, at least on 2 players map.


Unless I'm missing sarcasm, probably because it's not a guaranteed thing even with a blind player on the defense. I mean, Bomber ALWAYS gets some combination of Marines/Tanks plus probably a Raven, which so happens to be exactly the composition you need to defend most 1-base cheese play. There are certain ways you can array your forces so that even if a blind attack comes that you don't scout, you're already in a position that enables you to have the best possible chances on the defense.


No you're not missing sarcasm man, I really know nothing about TvT. But then isn't there a way people could play really greedy to compensate for Bomber lack of information ? Maybe the problem would be your teching up to raven too slowly in case Bomber goes banshee ?


Sure, you can go defensive 1-1-1 into 3 CC double E-bay, and just do like Bomber likes to do and smash face with a 14:00 max 2-2 Marine/Tank army. Only problem is if Bomber also does that you then have to out-Bomber Bomber.

I actually liked the way Major approached Game 1 of the series, with Mech versus Bio, but he made some execution errors that allowed Bomber to gain an edge, as well as Bio being REALLY good versus Mech on Sejong with all that airspace and multiple attack angles.


Ah ah I think I understand, trying to outgreed Bomber would actually take the game in a type of game Bomber enjoys. It's really a win-win scenario for him.


Precisely. I'm of the school of thought that playing outside your personal style is almost always a bad idea. It's that kind of reflex that causes people to play weird things versus Taeja because Taeja's fucking gosu, and then they die because they aren't playing THEIR kind of game anymore.

It's tough when there's literally zero terrans, I'm not even kidding there's been one terran in the last 3 TeSL's and it was some random Korean on wayi spider called Nado. Since ball retired Taiwan terran is dead.

That "some random Korean" knocked Maru out of the Taiwan Open qualifiers and showed AWESOME games in the WCS AM wildcard.
