Having never seen a zerg play on arkanoid, I have no idea how it's going to play out, but I'm inclined to believe that Zerg will opt for a fast 3hatch (for obvious reasons). From here it gets kinda weird - I suppose Z would favor mutalingbling due to the possibility of air harass (from both players - I can see ThorZaiN going for a fast 3CC with banshee), but the terran will likely opt for mech because of the map layout, which mutalingbling is horrible against. That might push Z towards roach infestor with drops, which is also very viable here if SonGDuri is inclined to harass. However, ThorZaiN will undoubtedly be prepared for drops because of the map layout, so he might invest a bit more heavily into vikings + turrets + sensor towers. Copious sensor tower usage will likely dissuade SonGDuri from harassing too heavily, so he might try to lay back and turtle to infestor BL with roaches for support. ThorZaiN will know that because of scouting, so he'll be inclined to do a pre-max push with tanks and thors. The question is, will SonGDuri be prepared? There's only 3 chokes to attack through. He'll be turtling. Another option for ThorZaiN would be to go heavy bio and just abuse the shit out of drops, but that'll be hard because bio will push SonGDuri towards mutas, and there's not a terribly big base area to defend when you really look at the map. There has been one TvZ played on Arkanoid, though outside the regular Proleague season. KT and SKT had a pre-season series, and one of the matches happened to be Fantasy vs Crazy-Hydra on Arkanoid. Here's the vod of the full event, with the Arkanoid match at approximately 123 minutes. http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNDgzNTMwNTAw.html | ||

I mean, all the threads were full with EGTL 4-1ing KT and you see how that went. I think only HerO will win for them, and it's 4-1for CJ. | ||

This week we have Jaedong ZvT (slightly less lol), TaeJa TvP (gtfo kid), HuK PvP (meh I guess), ThorZaiN in form and in TvZ (hell yeah) and HerO (LOL GTFO CJ). Honestly I can see a 4-1 or 4-2 happening here. | ||

I'm not saying he's favoured but he does have a very real chance. Taeja hasn't been super hot lately so I think CJ has plenty of opportunity to beat him. But yeah, I agree that EG-TL looks pretty darn good in an ace match here. | ||

You could not have picked a weaker team and worst match-ups than the series against KT. Only JYP and Puma weren't placed in their worst match-up and Puma didn't even get to play. It's better this week even without Puma and Revival playing. | ||

EDIT: sorry i diden't mean to whine about balance, i just think that tvz is hard in the current metagame - and alot of other people agrees with that. | ||

HerO's PvP is much weaker than herO's PvP so far. | ||
