Its just annoying seeing an army advance on a Nexus (generally in TvP) and the entire engagement never happens because the MSC just casts overcharge. It leads to an even duller early game TvP and it was already the dullest early game in WoL.

Snute vs Alicia g3 is pretty awesome, probably the only time I cheer for Infestor/Swarm Host

Snute going full foreigner :p

He let Alicia dictate tempo in g5 and since he had no standing army, he couldnt react to zealots and then he spent all infestor energy on zealots. Apparently 7 Colossi is the magical number to break Swarm Hosts.

G4 was so confusing to me. Morphing brood lords right on top of Alicia's army, and he wins the engagement. The entire time I'm screaming head towards the production or you're going to get VOID RAY'D, and what do you know, Void Rays melt corruptors and broods. >_>

I think he realized that Alicia could kill him on the spot, so he literally threw money at the army to make it go away. I really think Corruptors as AA unit are lost cause unless you are upgrading air. The fact that your hydras will have 1/1 or more by the time significant numbers of VRs (usually 0/0 or 1/0) start rolling around makes them much better and they actually combo pretty well with vipers. "Armored" is a misleading unit type vs deathball

Hero vs Ryung g5 was brilliant, shame he beefed g4 so badly, he kept bleeding high tech units without significant buffer, should've pulled back once he cleaned almost all the SCVs at the third.

Yeah I think corruptors are a pretty bad unit at this point lol. Hydras seem much better against Toss air, especially if vipers can pull a couple right on top of the hydras.

Fungal is probably still the best way to combat mass voids, if you can keep the infestors alive. Corruptors get fucking smoked by VRs, and even Vikings.

You kill voids by abducting them 1 by 1 with Vipers and sniping them off with either Corruptors or Hydras.

Typical Hero: "Hmm, seems I fucked up and I'm dead for sure unless I micro the rest of the game perfectly" Then proceeds to do just that - G5 on Neo Planet S

I honestly think if MVP can dodge Ryung and Innovation he can go far in this tournament. I think TLO might be able to squeak out of the group stages if he gets a zerg heavy group. I could also see HerO being the only protoss in the Ro8. sOs gonna choke. I wonder how they are going to do groups. I can't seem to find any information on how they are selected. All random maybe? Top 4 WCS points in seperate groups and the other spots random? Maybe GSL group pick style?

Anyway, no Leenock and no Life, so basically the only zerg I'm rooting for is TLO. I like Dimaga but I honestly don't think he stands a chance lol. Hoping MVP, Innovation or HerO win it all though.

It looks like Akilon is the only map I ever see mech TvP. Bunny with a really nice mech build vs Harstem in the WCS EU Code A.

When thinking TvT don't discount ForGG. He plays a somewhat unique style of mech that is somewhat centric around blue flame hellions instead of Hellbats and it is absolutely deadly.

I'm always reluctant to pick GSTL stars over proven tournament winners. Before you know it Sid's new boy will be MVP Super to win GSL.
