Having already conquered the metagame of two mirror matchups in Ribbon's No Spire ZvZ tour and Ribbon's 1 Factory TvT Tour we now put our focus on deconstructing PvP with a fun spin. After removing one of the most retarded units in BroodWar in this round of Ribbon's tours, no one will be able to call another Protoss girly.
That's right, no distance shooting or impossible Tempest possible here folks. We've taken out the stapled opening of a matchup with unchanged variance for the better portion of BW's life. Doing so, we're positive that not only will the gameplay change, but that the games will be better as a direct result.
