I feel like Ryan almost certainly recognizes the mistakes he made that game. He has that kinda look in his eyes. If it's the look I think it is, Xenocider better watch out in G2

I don't run into much problems in ZvP on it, though I don't particularly run into problems in ZvP on any map.

the issue in ZvP on Echo is that you literally can't attack with any composition aside from mass muta, which is also fairly weak on this map

I wanna see some OG Bio/tank v Bio/tank in that MMA/Flash series. That would make me happy. veryhappy. happy.

I'm pretty sure there won't be bio/tank positional wars. Because for one, Flash favours mech, which is viable on Echo, and two, because yolodrops are stronk.


yeah likely we'll see bio/tank v mech. I wouldn't be surprised if MMA brought out some tank drops like he did against Curejwa

edit: Still Flash's trademark Hellbat/Mech is pretty mobile fun IMO. It's really fairly similar to bio/tank

Cure really doesn't deserve a -jwa if he keeps performing like that.

Mech vs bio is the best TvT anyway. But maybe MMA has another curveball Bomber build and goes mech himself.


Cure played pretty well in that game IMO.

Still I think Bomber is the Bio/Tank god. I have wet dream's sometimes about s3 2014 TvT bio/tank meta!

Imo he played bad. Much worse than in his game vs Flash the week before, too.

Also I distinctly remember Bomber playing a lot of mech in TvT in late 2014.


no, almost predominantly bio-tank in late 2014. He won RBBG and WCS with that comp pretty much.

To be honest, I think Cure played better against MMA than he did against Flash. Still it wasn't a giant blowout, just flash/mma playing very well in a matchup they've long been reputed and known for.

Kind of straightforward, In my opinion.


Is one of the games of RBBG I distinctly remembered.

Anyways. Cure got completely rolled because he let that triple drop in his main happen and didn't do a terribly good job of getting rid of it. And then he got caught out on the map by MMA whose economy was left unhindered the entire game, leaving me to wonder what Cure was actually trying to do.

Roughly when SH got changed. No point in having spine/spore walls anymore


Of course there is. You survive three base timings and actually get to BL/infestor.

if you'd still have to do it, which I assume you do, it's not the best idea to play this style


It's just the exact WoL roach/ling -> BL/infestor style, which is just a lot weaker in HotS. You're supposed to make spines while teching to hive/greater spire or you die to this sort of attack. It's been that way ever since. Zergs somehow seem to have forgotten that though.

you have to play a lot more riskier now


I don't see the point of leaving yourself open if you're gonna play a turtley style anyway. Just doesn't make sense.

If you don't wanna make spines with roach/hydra, I get that. But with a build that rushes tech this hard with no real army in the meantime? You roll over and die if you don't have adequate defense (spines).

it's not WoL anymore, you shouldn't be able to just win games like that, so you have to risk a lot to get a decent army instead of playing safe, knowing you'll probably win in the end


I completely disagree, you can't just expect your opponent to miss out on such a gigantic opportunity to straight up kill you. Especially when protoss players have been hitting 3 base timings for the last 4 years. It's not the best style anymore, I agree, but if you're gonna do it then at least do it right.


There really isn't composition to triumph over colossi and high templar. I think zergs cannot let protoss to tech up so freely.


I don't think that composition is an issue for zerg. You can kill colossus/templar armies just fine. It's just the mass blink/sentry/storm/immortal style that's incredibly strong. It's got so much map presence, pressure potential, mobility and fighting power all in one. That and with forcefields, blink, storm and recall you should never trade unfavorably.

Rough time to be a zerg vs protoss atm.


Well, I agree that blink/sentry/storm/immortal style is incredibly strong, which tend to make zergs undertech, and that, consequently, makes high templars very strong, since zerg has inferior composition that was used to defend earlier pressures.

It's true that Bomber absolutely crushed Cure in this series (he is another class of TvT player)

I still think Cure is a very solid TvT player, as evidenced by his aliguilac winrates. He also played a 7 games series against INnoVation in the gsl semifinals and made his run at a time where TvT was a very common matchup due to the favorable map pool.

I've been working on some terran metagame/build stuff in which Cure has been one of the more revolutionary players, even in TvT a fairly static matchup
