I hardly play TvT because its so (pardon my french) fucking boring! Although to make things abit more exciting, go fast wraiths. It'll work against noobs, and maybe 1/40 games=) | ||

Loses to: BC Rush, def. matrix d ships, drop before your turrets are set up. | ||

The point of the turrets isn't to kill everything that he sends out. The point is that if he makes a mistake he might pay for it, and if he doesn't you know where he is going with what. | ||

He who sieges first unseiges last. In other words, in TvT, an inferior number of tanks in siege with proper vision can handle a superior number of units, so long as you're smart enough to target his tanks first. TvT is the one matchup I'm actually fairly good at. | ||

That is funny response. Looks very similar to the one Rekrul made on my PvZ strat. Good job on trying to play off his joke as if it was your own. Speaking of Rekrul, I am about 20-1 with that strategy, and the only person I ever lost to with it, was Rekrul. I had the entire map sealed off but I couldn't kill his island nat, so before I could expand and mass, he BC rushed me off of 3 bases. About 0.1% of the people who I use this strat on, have enough intelligence to counter with BC rush knowing that drops won't work. This led me to believe that Rekrul had either seen the strategy before, or he is just a genius. I hope it's the first one. | ||

You won't win that unless you outnumber very very greatly | ||
