Every terran knows this.
And it's ridiculously strong because Gumiho can beat TY playing bio with it.
They are not exactly the same class of players so it makes it even sadder.

It's not HotS anymore. Mech is hard to make work. TY beat himself.

Says who?

Oh Idk maybe the fact that nobody plays mech except GuMiho and SuperNova

And how does that prove that it's not easier to play?
If terrans wanted to play easy on mechanics styles, they would play another race.
Might explain why (top) terrans prefer playing bio.

Pro players play what wins them the most games. That's why everyone switched to mech in late HotS. Not because they suddenly all at once thought mech was more fun to play. But somehow the fact that everyone plays bio now to you means it's because they think it's more fun even though mech is way easier.

They switched against other races because it helped them win.
I'm not saying playing mech in TvZ is wrong, if it works it works.
I'm saying playing mech in TvT while bio vs bio is funnier and allows you to win just as well (since it's a mirror) is wrong.
Bio is viable in TvT so you should avoid playing mech.

Everyone switched to mech in TvT in late HotS too.

Because bio wasn't viable I guess?
I didn't follow HotS much but I know it has been a very bad game towards the end (and even at the start with the swarm host one hour long games).

Gumiho beat TY in bio vs bio in games 3 and 4, but somehow he won game 5 because mech is OP ?
Mech doesn't require the same set of skills as bio, but it doesn't mean it's easier to play. If it were "retardly easy" why do I not see anyone playing mech in TvT at my level (or in the pro scene while I'm at it, aside from GuMiho) ?


You really think he practices mech as much as bio ?

Nah, mech is like cheese, you can steal games

Don't bother, it's like Super Smash Bros Brawl players that were like "uh the game is slow but it ain't easy compared to Melee you know!! we have to use mindgames you know!! mindgames is hard we have to think a lot and stuff you know!! stop saying our game is bad!".
They won't ever admit their game is both easier and less fun.

I don't see where you are going.
Don't you agree that mech is less fun and easier mechanilly? Thus easier since mechanics is what is difficult about terran.

Regardless of if he wins vs byun, maru will have better results in korea than TY lol
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

People can't be serious right? 1/1000 mech games played and saying it's imba because there's one player smart enough in GSL to realize mech is most viable in TvT and plays it? xD

People should be happy as fuck a pro actually has the balls to play mech in money matches live. Props to Gumiho for being smart enough to play mech TvT. Most other pros are too afraid to play it even though it's always been theoretically stronger than bio if you play mech well.

Also, for all these crazies here arguing that mech is easier than bio to play...what? If mech is so easy why for the last 6 yrs does everyone play bio at professional level 95% of the time or more? At some point you have to realize you are completely wrong and know nothing about the game.

Mech is way more difficult to play than bio because bio play can default to "making marines" and still have viable anti-air, whereas mech play you have to strategically think about the game more and balance your anti-air to anti-ground otherwise your entire army can become useless in an instant if the opponent gets air advantage.

A 200/200 supply mech army can theoretically be worthless versus 3 liberators which is why mech is so difficult to play compared to bio. You'll never see a 200/200 bio army be completely worthless in the span of 15 seconds in the game because the opponent made air units because marines are a catch-all and can target any unit in the game, air or ground.

Hopefully we see more mech games, and hopefully we see more TvZ mech versus good Zergs that know how strong swarmhosts are versus mech so blizzard can address swarmhosts.

MarineLorD admitted that he was playing mech in HotS because it was OP as fuck, but retardly easy to play.
Every terran knows this.
And it's ridiculously strong because Gumiho can beat TY playing bio with it.
They are not exactly the same class of players so it makes it even sadder.

It's not HotS anymore. Mech is hard to make work. TY beat himself.

Says who?

Oh Idk maybe the fact that nobody plays mech except GuMiho and SuperNova

And how does that prove that it's not easier to play?
If terrans wanted to play easy on mechanics styles, they would play another race.
Might explain why (top) terrans prefer playing bio.

Pro players play what wins them the most games. That's why everyone switched to mech in late HotS. Not because they suddenly all at once thought mech was more fun to play. But somehow the fact that everyone plays bio now to you means it's because they think it's more fun even though mech is way easier.

They switched against other races because it helped them win.
I'm not saying playing mech in TvZ is wrong, if it works it works.
I'm saying playing mech in TvT while bio vs bio is funnier and allows you to win just as well (since it's a mirror) is wrong.
Bio is viable in TvT so you should avoid playing mech.

Everyone switched to mech in TvT in late HotS too.

Maru didn't, he is a real man

He lost to BrAvO when he tried I'm pretty sure.

shhhh

It isn't. What exactly would you say is harder for the bio player in bio vs mech ? There is barely any micro. You just make a concave and a-move if you have enough.

How do you define what's easy and not? would you also say protoss is easier than terran?
