    There is something extremely comical about Reynor doing 2000APM worth of BM mineral harassment, while Dark quietly and casually proxy-hatches Reynor's natural expansion. I think that really, perfectly encapsulates the two playstyles/personalities of these players.

      He played random in beta I think at least for a couple of tournaments and later did it occasionally. Was always interesting to watch when the opponent really didn’t knew what to do for the initial gaming seconds and minutes.
      It was a time where the strategies and build orders weren’t so settles as now - more then 10 years later. He essentially played a wild style and thus surprising his opponents all the time.

      @moneygrab610 11 месяцев назад +1

      Zerg mirrors are interesting if they reach into the late-game because usually each player has a different tech choice. Protoss mirrors are interesting as well, but Terran mirrors are not fun at all - not to play, not to watch. It is usually the same two strategies dependent on who got an extra Tank instead of a Raven or vice-versa.

    • @javiercampoy1707
      @javiercampoy1707 11 месяцев назад +2

    It is so funny how much these matchups have developpe4d since WoL. Back in beta and also later in WoL TvT was the most fun match up to watch. C onstant action as sopn as they can produce units . ZvZ on the other hand was awful since the strongest build for YEARS was a roach all in and opponent also needed early roaches to hold against that. You get some intense micro for up to 1 minute then match over 98% of the time. Oh yea some people tried top abusae this meta, by acting as if they are trhge all-in guy , and instead do something diufferent. Well the problem wilth that is that opponent now hax figured outthat no roaches are coming, so he takes his 20 and marcvhes into the enemy base.. But now ZvZ is a lot more varied and actually fun to watch

    What has killed me for years especially playing against Zerg, how pros don’t use scvs or probs as scouts/warning of incoming lings etc. how many times have you seen a player move out just to get blindsided by a ling run by? I’m like is you just send out a few probs down paths you are not moving down, they will spot anything coming way before they attack you. This gives you time to pull back, evacuate or rally units for defense. I would sacrifice 50-150 in probes and never get surprised by a ling run by or banglings. Me watching pros who would would eat me for lunch blindfolded get surprised by run bys again and again drives me crazy.

      I think its easy to say on ladder, where its big amount of games, but in tournamnets I would guess the logic is a bit different, specially if you play against someone who is favoured against you. If you know you got like 20 % chance of beating someone in an equal macro game, why not go ultra greedy , including no scout? yes you might die very fast to cheese, but in the end whats the difference if you die fast to cheese or you scout and die slowly in equal macro game. And if you get away with ul;tra greed, you finally got a good chance of wining. At least thats what im imagining.

      @@firestarter000001 that doesn’t make sense. You protected your resources/ infrastructure. Surprise attacks you are not prepared for disrupts that. A lot of times it cost players the game. How many times have we’ve seen a simple ling run by change the course of a game causing that player to lose? What would be an efficient low cost way to minimize/ stop that? The cheapest unit besides lings are the harvester. You send 2 down paths where surprise attacks can come from. They get destroyed but you now know and can save a much bigger loss. Not doing so doesn’t make sense. I’ve seen in games where a simple scouting unit spots in incoming enemies and they are able to defend against it. Then the very next game they don’t shout and suffer major losses. That is an effective strategy no matter the level of play.
