Very dank.
Honestly I expected Losira to get crushed way harder. So I guess the series did live up to the hype.

What did you switch to and how has it been? Thinking about playing Terran because of zvz. It's just that TvT is also not as cool as it was from what I've seen. | ||

I know My silly missus doesn't have the love of SC2 that I have so Japan was chosen instead. | ||

All mirrors are pretty harsh (especially on this map pool), not sure switching does anything. Not to mention you have to learn stuff first. Every time I see someone make marauders in bio vs bio TvT I facepalm. | ||

Yeah Terran. But I have a longtime history offracing Terran at near my zerg level (since late WoL), so it wasn't really a big step. It's more like I just don't play zerg anymore, instead of playing two races. TvT is really bad by comparison to WoL and HotS. I used to be a Mech player in TvT and TvZ, so I'm not happy about how Terran plays these matchups these days, but it's still more fun than ZvZ and ZvP for me. The main thing you have to be aware if you switch to T these days is that you really need to get a mindset going that you shouldn't let your P/Z opponent's get lategame (you can let them get there, but you need to make it hard for them because it's the only way you will get there evenly - so try to kill them and work from there) and that keeping tanks in medivacs is more important than anything else in TvT. It's a very unstrategic race at the moment, but mechanically a lot of fun. | ||

Yeah, it's not easy. I'm just saying this because from my zerg/Mech perspective - in which I learned to react to everything properly - this was the hardest step to get into bio play. Just the mindset of always having to and being able to attack. When you attack a lot you can learn from your replays and see where you were behind and where ahead and try to figure out the scenarios in which actually playing lategame is worth and when not. With Mech/Z(before SH nerf I guess) you'd usually just have a completely different mindset to begin with, only attack when the opponent opens up or you play cheesy. | ||
