same. I really dont like the current TvT style

Agree, some games are good but most are kinda disappointing.


Then I recommend you go watch Innnovation vs Taeja at Blizzcon 2013.
They hate us 'cause they ain't us.

On Catallena and at equal supplies at 10:00, Zest shouldn't lose this now, unless hydra plays godly or Zest terribly.

That is in Wings of Liberty, a complete different game. Also, that was a ZvZ. ZvZ's are the easiest the come back from.

Why is it easier to recover in a series (not individual games) when it's ZvZ?


Mirror matches are easier to come back from because if a player just kills some workers, he is ahead. Think about it, Life is down 3 games, then readjusted his builds and killed a few workers early in the next 4 games. Against Protoss or Terran, killing those few workers is negligible because of chrono and mules. In mirror matches, two good players mirror each other, but with a few workers missing, that player is behind.


Fortunately, Soulkey did the same in a ZvT, Innovation went down 0-2 to win 4-2 in his last finals, even Naniwa 3-2'd HyuN after being down 0-2. It happens all the time in all match-ups.

How dare you challenge swag_bro's authority?? He is of course right.
