All matchups involving T in LotV are pretty lame though imo. PvZ and PvT are better too imo. Sure adepts can be a pain, but colossi, immortal all-ins, broodlords, swarmhosts were worse, and the match-ups are a bit more diverse and less deathball oriented. | ||

ZvT has gone down, not as fun to watch or play (still not as bad as it could be... Wish muta/ling/bane was used more). ZvZ doesn't seem that different and I can't comment on TvT or PvP :p. | ||

I agree with this. TvT probably had the highest highs, but the average game wasn't that interesting. During GOMTvT you had awesome positional games from time to time, but most of the time it was just two siege lines facing off while vikings tried to get air control. | ||

You can do it if you are going for a mass hellbat/tank/viking timing in TvT around 150ish supply. You actually don't want medivacs in this case because all starport time should be going toward viking production to kill opponents medivacs to prevent tank pickups. I don't think it's possible in any other matchup. | ||

This looks like a typical avilo game from the swarmhost era. Mass ravens in a corner. Avilo wouldn't have gottten the BCs though, he hates BCs. EDIT: I hope there's a vod of that 6hr game somewhere though, the replay will have been broken by the great replay patch of late 2015 | ||

Not my cup of tea either. It's still the same cat and mouse running around the map with squads of MMMs trying to hit timings. Yeah, I can appreciate the tactical element. It's just looks one-dimensional to me. | ||

One of the huge problems with the whole turtle mech/swarmhost/mass raven bc bullshit was that it was really hard to distinguish 2 top players playing eachother vs some random fucks in eu gm. Usually there just wasnt that much skill displayed, and the whole positional thing was only really dynamic and interesting on a couple maps at most, the rest might as well have been planned out from the first minute of the game | ||

What I meant is that Polt's play was all about winning by mid-game. He just attacks non-stop, hoping to catch the right timing window when the Protoss is weak. Again, I feel like it's like throwing darts and hoping one sticks. | ||

There is a reason koreans don't use the unit, i think this is part of it. The bigger part is that it's an all or nothing unit as well, which means you kinda have to have a certain amount to make sure you always have at least one disruptor off cooldown. | ||
