The fun has begun within the pace changing Ribbon's Mirror Tournaments, having already displaced the norms of one matchup's metagame in Ribbon's No Spire ZvZ Tour. We now move onto something more challenging. A matchup between players held to a higher standard, in a redefinition of the strategic TvT municipality. Games often compared to chess, this is the closest vicarious experience of Garry Kasparov our amazingly talented invites will ever have the chance to live out.
As the second edition rests on the dawn of the horizon, the possibilities remain endless. Terran may not be able to proxy nydus on Destination, or lurker their way to a comeback win when down two bases, but they sure have firebat drops. With that, this round has far more variables and more nail biting, hair pulling dramatic gameplay. The rest is explained below.

All games will be played Saturday, September 22nd at 19CET on Fish server in Op Ribbon. The cast will take place Sunday, September 23rd starting at 16CET on Hacklebeast's channel
