What's with those pauses and that smirk while pausing from Innovation? I know Inno fans will give me shit for it, but don't tourneys have rules about pauses?


Tourneys also have rules about Blizzard not putting LAN into their games in 20-fucking-14, but what are you gonna do?

There is no inherent greatness in a matchup, its always up to the players.

thats simply not true, because the mechanics of TvT and how the matchup works with positioning and so on are way more entertaining and komplex then 99% of the ZvZs where it is mass vs mass or in PvP...
The constant back and forth, harassement, taking out bases, unit mix and so on.

It is good to see terran back, it always was the most entertaining race to watch (and I say that as a random player)


TvT has the potential to be great more so than the other mirrors, but it also has the potential to be really shitty.

There are enough Dota Clones.


yeah, IMO Overwatch will be more popular than HotS, less competition in class-based shooters.

What else is there outside of TF2?

I have both streams open

Then how did you not know if it was a good game? Checkmate

cause I had the sc2 one muted and was looking at TL forums + heroes when I thought the game was going to end with Inno up 40 supply with air control

turns out TaeJa is really freaking good

Also I play Heroes and (mostly) enjoy it but have no interest in watching, dunno how common that is but I can't be the only one.

It's like the anti-SC2 for me.

Dunno, the Battlefield and Battlefront series used to be more popular, but I think modern Battlefield is more like CoD than 1942/2 which were more "pure" class-based.

I feel like that game will be compared to TF2 like no tomorrow though.

Unless it's like Planetside/Battlefield and went in a completely different direction.

Nah I think he's right, what he means -correct me if I'm wrong- is a great mu can be played horribly and it's down to the players to make for amazing games. Nevertheless some mus have inherent shittiness, like WoL PvP or current ZvZ, where it's near impossible to play a truly great game due to the way the mu works.

Countdown to victory: 1 200!

That was more true of WoL TvT than HotS TvT. Now in HotS tvT, its dominated too much by mass medivac doom drops.

You still get great matches like inno vs Taeja, but not as often as I think it was in WoL.

But yea, not all matchups are created equal. PvP and ZvZ dont have as much dynamic about it as TvT.

Overwatch will be a fun new IP to follow.
On the surface it looks like a casual type of fun shooter like TF2 but TF2 had Steam, hats and trading.

What MU doesn't have the potential to be really shitty? All of them do.

But TvZ probably has the lowest ratio of shit games, if I had to guess.
