The first three games were very fast-paced and extreme due to cheesy pressure builds and PianO's heavy reliance on Starport tech, but if that's what you're after you should just watch those three games in a row, since they were short and sweet for TvTs. Game 5 is the only game I can't recommend, because the loser was totally dominated.

And here we are. PianO fresh off the 1kill on Jaehoon, now seeks to prove himself in a matchup for which he's better known, TvT. Back in the KHAN days, Sharp had proven himself more capable in the mirror matchup than against the other races, but then again, it's the same for 99% of people who try Terran out! Today, the races are the same! It boils down to an ancient battle of noun versus adjective! Who will take it, NsP_Sharp, or the favorite, myth.siva?
Top left PianO, top right Sharp. BBS. PianO scouts in the right direction. The bunker completes outside PianO's main and he holds at significant losses. The SCVs retreat to PianO's base. It seems he's content with his advantage. The three marines in the bunker allow a vulture to leave at 20 health, but a wall of three SCVs at Sharp's ramp happily do the rest. Fast droptech for PianO as a response. Sharp has the lead, he has two machine shopped factories and an armory going up. PianO's initial tank kills the bunker and supports his two marines in taking it. PianO makes a wraith, and uses it for scouting and minor harass at Sharp's main! Two marines are his only antiair - and now two goliaths!
The wraith cloaks! Big trouble for Sharp upcoming? He still hasn't started his expansion, and PianO's is halfway done! A second Starport from PianO, this is an action-packed TvT so far! Three tanks and three marines leave PianO's base, but they're about to collide with a superior mech force. Sharp's scan is up and he's building his Command Center. it's hard to say who will come out ahead. Sharp takes the center of the map and sets up a parallel tank line outside PianO's bridge line.
Wraith harassing Sharp's floatover barracks, and baits a scan before retreating. The barracks at 220 health and falling. PianO sends 4 vultures in to get two kills on SCVs, but are then forced to retreat by tank reinforcements.
Five factories and two starports for PianO. Sharp starting his third factory just now. He seems to have fallen slightly behind. Dropship coming to Sharp's main.
Dropship places mines outside the factories, forcing Sharp to send some units back. Sharp's forces are being pushed back from the west and south! Sudden GG from Sharp! That BBS succeeded, but Sharp still lost due to bad strategy!
