No thanks, TvT sucks these days.

Yeah. I've seen enough of the marine hellion mine 1 base play for a long time.


tvt nowadays worse then pvp was in his worst days

Has TvT changed all that much in the past two or so months?

Well its more like we actually get to see TvTs.

Id say TvT today is so much about who makes most damage really early. Its hard to defend vs fast Cloaked banshees and speed medivacs with 2 tanks and 8 marines. Either that or other random fast drop-play tend to do very much early game damage and one player either gets very far ahead of straigh up wins.


i wish they'd nerf cloack. It's almost useless outside of TvT and makes it such a shitty mu.

What on earth was the reasoning behind lowering the cloak cost? I cant recall, but I think it was to balance up for something else? Mines? Hellbats?


hellbat were nerfed and they wanted to give harassment option against free spores and overcharge. almost near the tank buff reasoning.


which was kinda dumb to be honest. Who the fuck makes cloaked banshees vs Protoss?


Maru did it vs herO in SPL. Map was Frost iirc.


I suppose Maru did use it another time against Dear during a WCS Finals. But I'd of sacrificed those two games for a less volatile tvt.

Very well play by Violet. Finally we see a zerg get agressive. 90% of TvZs, we just see the Terran go undisturbed until they are in the perfect position and start the endless push. It's always the Terran dictating the pace of the game these days.


That's just how Hots is designed.

As a counter-point to that, I would sacrifice a lot more than that to have more than 1 style to play versus Protoss that actually makes use of Banshees.

almost never in marine tank vs marine tank, if somehow both players are equal in the mid game then it's doom drop time.

Not rarely, but not nearly as much as it used to. It's pretty similar to ling/bling in that any mistake in the early mid game and you're instantly dead. But if they survive it gets pretty good.

But yea a shit load of doom drops cause of medivac boost.

Has TvT changed all that much in the past two or so months?

Well its more like we actually get to see TvTs.

Id say TvT today is so much about who makes most damage really early. Its hard to defend vs fast Cloaked banshees and speed medivacs with 2 tanks and 8 marines. Either that or other random fast drop-play tend to do very much early game damage and one player either gets very far ahead of straigh up wins.


i wish they'd nerf cloack. It's almost useless outside of TvT and makes it such a shitty mu.

What on earth was the reasoning behind lowering the cloak cost? I cant recall, but I think it was to balance up for something else? Mines? Hellbats?


hellbat were nerfed and they wanted to give harassment option against free spores and overcharge. almost near the tank buff reasoning.


which was kinda dumb to be honest. Who the fuck makes cloaked banshees vs Protoss?


Maru did it vs herO in SPL. Map was Frost iirc.


I suppose Maru did use it another time against Dear during a WCS Finals. But I'd of sacrificed those two games for a less volatile tvt.

So does Marine tank v Marine tank late game or Marine tank v mech late game rarely happen nowadays?


almost never in marine tank vs marine tank, if somehow both players are equal in the mid game then it's doom drop time.


Which is amazing and hilarious when the players doom drop each other at the same time.

Not rarely, but not nearly as much as it used to. It's pretty similar to ling/bling in that any mistake in the early mid game and you're instantly dead. But if they survive it gets pretty good.

but ling/bling goes into roaches and that's just awful

Until one player loads upp 160 supply in Medivacs, shift clicks D on all of them and sends them into a gigantic turret defense and hope for the best.

As a counter-point to that, I would sacrifice a lot more than that to have more than 1 style to play versus Protoss that actually makes use of Banshees.

That gas steal is exactly the sort of thing a live, passionate crowd would react to.
