I always loved terran because of 2 major reasons
1st. Not many people play it, so when one's good it really shines out.
2nd. TvZ's bionic mnm control/SKTerran is fucken art to perform and watch.......
However recently im getting really dissapointed because every TvZ i see or almost every TvZ from the pro scenes, all the players go mech. Its getting annoying to see them take that gas at 12 psi. I know SC is constantly evolving but however this is one area i hope that it doesn't develop any further.......
TvZ with bionic= Art form
TvZ with mech= another match up.

i agree, this mech stuff is getting stale really quick

Mech has defiled the most beautiful matchup in the game. :<
|
i mean the first few games i was like "Sweet TvZ innovation, mech going into style" now everyone is doing it SO much... its not good anymore.
|
I agree that TvZ MnM can be incredibly intense, entertaining, while being very effective. MnM with multiple dropship play can really fuck up Zerg expos, 6~7 marines from 1 dropship can take out a hatchery very fast.
Its cost efficient but the only major downside is that bionic units require too much babysitting, you need to constantly stim and spread them and avoid lurker spines

I completely disagree, the reason why sc exists til this day is because of inventive strategies and styles always coming up and making it more fun to watch and to see how the races in each match up have to transition to a different style to counter the newer build orders, that being said not EVERY tvz in the proscene is mech, you probably haven't watched alot if you think every single game uses mech play.

starcraft hasn't evolved much but the maps have.
|
Wait till new map pool I think.
Mech works so good on Destination because of the choke points where you can just cut off entry by siege and hold the ground to stop any advancement of opponent armies. Haven't seen it used real effectively on any other map though.

I've watched just about every TvZ in the past year and only in the recent map pool has mech been THAT big of a deal.
It's not innovation (Fantasy build isn't really mech...) it's just the map.
Mech TvZ sucks, boring to watch and makes me cringe when I see it.

The low point of mech probably was Ruby vs Hoejja.

yeah i think it usually depends on the map, i love watching tvz w/out the mech but its still interesting either way

medusa seems like a perfect map for bionic, cuz of the giant middle that you can't build on, yet most still go mech...

Neo Medusa

go.go said in his interview about his OSL group that mech is safer on the new maps. Wait until next season.
I agree, though...except I thought you were supposed to get gas at 10 or 11 depending on your depot timing?
|
meh, bionic is so much more fun than mech. I don't like using golis and tanks simply because of their shitty pathing.
|
I actually like both playing and watching mech not gonna lie, I also enjoy playing and watching bio however

I cringe thinking about that game.

The solution is to go watch Leta's TvZ
not that I'm biased or anything

pretty much what i said, you've been living under a rock. Neo Medusa you can build in center

yeah i hate mech. I think mnm just LOOKS awesome, also gameplay wise i think mnm is more viable unless you're on a terribly imbalanced map anyway (colloseum tvz, destination tvz, etc)
