I played six TvTs on Akilon in the last two days. Five times my opponent goes for 8-8-8 (two times i went for the same build) then in the six game I scout no gas (yay!) just to find out that he has gone for proxy rax with Marines.
And I thought Akilon is one of the games were you maybe can play a macro game... But somehow these games are really funny at the Moment. But I don´t know if it will be funny in two weeks, when my only Macro games are always TvZ on Ohana and Shakuras.

Fun? At least zotac and go4sc2 remains with mappool from previous season. This idea with mappool voting looked promising, until we got it.

Yeah,blizzard should've let the masters+ players vote,not the B-S-G players who play with mouse only and qq constantly.

Well there is obviously a tendency that goes like "oh old maps I m gonna cheese the crap out of them hrhrhrhr" but once they will be constantly countered these players will realize that they'll need to think a bit more than this...

(seriously having your opponent 8-8-8 in TvT is kinda a free win no?)

Deadwing allows u to play at least 4 bases easily, Shakuras gives me 2 bases PvZ allin and still its pretty hard to execute due to a single path at the middle of the map where i can easy get into a huge cancave

Interesting fact that I faced like 8 of 10 times Swarmhosts at PvZ, combined with current mappool makes me think that I'm going to play Heroes of the Storm till next season :D

I got myself into Masters on NA with only 8-8-8 in all matchups a while ago, macro play didn´t get me much higher (400 points more on EU), but people got better at defending over time.
But I have to admit i still lose against this like one out of ten times, when I fail with my micro.

Shakuras has actually been fun! In PvZ I can just double expand to the closest spawn position and hold my MSC between natural and third, and overcharge appropriately. Then just spam colossi or HT, depending on how late in the day it is and how much APM I have available.

Lately I've found myself using the warp prism more and more. Luckily in plat there's not a lot of people that protect their infestation pit.

Tried a little bit. Well, I will probably not play this season. Such a bad idea to have one whole season like this.

A waste of a season. Nothing else. The most stupid thing blizzard ever came up with.
I'm not having fun playing on ugly maps that are compeletely out of meta.
I have fun improving. Which is greatly limited atm.
I want my money back blizzard.

Cheese are already nerfed compared to what they were.
At least there is the low ground destructable rocks and no warp in on high ground

you want your money back for software you bought a year and a half ago because they temporarily changed the free online content you get with it?

I'm having a good time as Terran. Reactor hellion is still a good build, and other than auto-countering blink on Cloud Kingdom and going reaper expo into a stim timing on Metalopolis I can play vs. Protoss the same way. And TvT hasn't changed at all; it would have been hard for people to play more aggressively.
