there is currently a rock paper scissors AI programming tournament being put on by microsoft lol.... 1st is 5grand....http://www.rockpaperazure.com/ and yet in the practice rounds and stuff, people have insane win ratios... =/ like 125-5.... so even if SC2 PVP is rock paper scissors someone good with patterns and predictions, will still win a good deal of the time. but rock paper scissors takes some skill apparently... | ||

The 10 games played between Huk and Naniwa at dreamhack really demonstrated it for me. You can get a huge advantage from a BO choice, but you can still overcome it with micro. The games are always sharp as a razors edge. A metagame in the matchup evolves between the two players blind picking strategies based trying to predict their opponents play. It may be great to watch in a long series. But trust me it isn't great to play. Its true RPS with micro then | ||

But regarding Choya getting in trouble with Blizzard, isn't it their fault for making the matchup a 7 minute game of RPS instead of a 7 second game? | ||

Basically he probably wouldn't have said first to "two" (whatever that can mean) if he won the first one xD GG lol Don't post this on bnet forums or they might warn/ban you for abusing ladder! xD | ||

 PvP is fine, just learn to play it like you learned any other matchup. It's doable, it's not a coinflip, it doesn't have to be one base, there are many viable builds. You have no rational reason to hate it. It's just that it got so much negative propaganda in the past and people are still echoing that and fearing the matchup. -_- | ||

Paper = stargate Scissors = twilight council And then there is the 4-gate, which can beat all of these but also lose to all of these. Just sayin' | ||
