Bip up IEM/ESL. Redeye, Carmac, all the guys and gals in the background we never read of and all those well known ppl (f.e. Rotti BStream!), THX!
Unfortunately TvT sucks ass these days, I don't know what happened to it. I haven't seen that much 1 basing since 2010. + Show Spoiler +
p.s. GO TAEJA!!!!!!!
I feel like that's a weird definition of 1 base play... yeah, a lot of gas first banshee builds, but that's not 1 base, they almost all include a cc after their tech is out. I think TvT is still great.
How would you describe the current TvT meta in MMA terms?
I actually feel the current builds are kind of similar to the old hellbat if you compare what they do. Lots of gas first in the current meta either for a defensive raven build into a marine / tank push (or MMA style 2 medivac drop) or a cloak banshee. Yet I feel if a good player or players on equal skill levels play against each other that is simply the opening stage of a standard TvT.
So while lots of people are currently going for aggression - if you are capable of either going defensive and defend well or the other person knows when to stop aggression it can be a very good TvT !

Also Flash doesn't really play the aggressive 1-1-1 builds that cause this kind of game. He mostly adopts a defensive stance with a mech transition, so the volatile games people see a lot recently have less chances of occurring in the Flash vs TaeJa series. Hopefully we're treated great biomech vs mech games (like the Flash vs Sorry series at the IEM qualifier), and hopefully no stupid "X is overrated" talk regardless of the outcome! If we're lucky we might even get a second gem like TaeJa vs Bogus on Newkirk...
