TvT was never that boring.
Yeah there were LOTS AND LOTS of TvTs but they were often exciting and back and forth.
I also remember Taeja vs Flash as one of the best TvTs 2-3 years back, Flash still being new but it was a great Macro TvT on... Whirlwhind IIRC


watching tanks siege, unsiege then siege again is boring as fuck.

tvt used to be terrible

you are wrong dude, one misstep and you can be dead. Also there isn't only the tankline you can always send out dropships to pull the opponent back and so on.
TvT was never just one thing going on (like PvP or ZvZ) but several. I think you missed the great fun about TvT then.


I think you (and most people, tbh) have a vastly higher opinion of TvT than it deserves. It is generally incredibly boring and takes way longer than it needs to zzzzzzzzz

Current meta TvT lasts like 12 minutes before someone dies to a doom drop <.<.

I understand the hate for mirrors, but you have to agree siege+unsiege its somewhat better than colossus vs colossus


PvP is most skilled, entertaining, and fun match up

Yeah, A-Move vs A-Move and the only advantage is the better army composition.
Not even storms or something is casted, although they would deal a lot of damage to that (opponents) ball.

literally facts


honestly even as a terran fellow and supporter of TvT, when played by two world class protoss, PvP is truly awesome

I know it can be, wasn't too serious
I Protoss winner, could it be?

i'm wrong like 80 times a day.

i'm sure it was exciting to some people I just never got hard over it. It definitely got a lot more exciting later on.


Well everyone has its own opinion, but most people prefer TvT over PvP

(I remember when they make polls for the better MU's TvT is always high (along TvZ) and PvP is at the bottom

If you really think PvP is just a-move vs a-move then you haven't ever understand a single Protoss game in your entire life. I hate when people spout this kind of ignorant bullshit. It just confirms to me that all the Protoss hate stems from ignorance.

Are people seriously trying to argue that two players vying for position with meticulous micro is more boring than watching two deathballs slam into each other after after a complete turtlefest? If it even makes it that far.

I don't like the current meta.
And TvT is anyways still the best mirror. There are simply more openers then any other mirror matchups and they can be more back and forth. I don't like the doom-dropping though.
Cause it sometimes wins the game for the player who was behind the whole game and just was pulling this one joker-card.
The player who gets more and more ahead over time through better trades should win. Not through ONE move.
That counts for every matchup.

PvP is way way more than just "two deathballs slamming into each other" and yes, I find it vastly more interesting than slightly repositioning your army 21349825908320459345 times a minute.

I like PvP coz its so aggressive and action happening all the time.

And there is so much different builds and tactics you can use.

I think this PvP will be decided in fast aggressive games tbh. Which can be pretty entertaining.

Are you making fun of something?
"lots of micro"
:D Ever played a High-Level Tvs anything?
You wouldn't call "blink somewhere" lots of micro.

But even though you could be right -> the games will decide by who chooses the better Bullshit-Build. And you know it.
Not the better player overall.
