It's like the anti-SC2 for me.

The game just seems so dumbed down compared to LOL or especially dota that idk why anyone would prefer it over either of those. It isn't even like there is that much of a smaller learning curve. Plus those are SO much more established that HoTS has really no chance.

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)


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.


We saw a lot more TvT in WOL, so we caught a LOT more builds.

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?


I don't think tourneys do have that as a rule

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

True that. The very fast 1 or 2 base allins are mostly shitty.
But these allins also happen to other races so... I was more refering to the "normal macro game" where way more obvious action and multitasking is happening in TvT

There are enough Dota Clones.


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

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.


Yeah but TF2 peaked before streaming on Twitch was a thing, Overwatch has the potential to get popular through streamers like Hearthstone did.

Cause MOBAs are insanely game knowledge based, Dota players have a 10 year edge, LoL players have a 5 year edge, with HotS I get to be a pioneer sort of even if the game isn't as good.

What else is there outside of TF2?



Battlefield 4.
Esl tried to make it Esport, but failed miserably.

Sc2 = Only RTS out there
Heartstone = Only easy accesable card game out there
HotS = Dota, Dota 2, LoL, HoN and tons of failed Clones?
Overwatch = TF2 and else?

So Blizzard rule: It is not enough to copy good ideas and make em better and more easy to access for casuals, you must also have less enemys on the market to create blizzard hype.

Next Blizzard game confirmed a Wale hunting simulation.
