TvT in my view is one of the more binary mirror MUs in the game. It's either short and exciting or protracted and boring.
Sept 2nd's GSL Code S Ro16 (Group B) between Maru and Dream was very exciting to watch where Maru achieved a decisive 2:0 versus Dream. Overall the series was short and sweet.
This build comes from game 1 of 2.
This isn't all in. You don't stop making workers.
Edit: Forgot to put in the Starport timing. Also fixed the YT link Timestamp.
1 | 0:17 | | |
16 | 0:39 | | |
16 | 0:43 | | 3/3 Saturation. Should be able to rally worker about to finish |
17 | 0:53 | | 3/3 Saturation. Should be able to rally worker about to finish |

45 | 3:46 | | Both build at same time. |
46 | 3:51 | | Medivac Finish 4 Marines Tank. 2 Reaper/Hellion on ground. |
47 | 3:54 | | Time to attack Immediately after medivac finish. Cont making marines. |
48 | 3:59 | |
Taken from Dream's perspective however the differences are annotated they are VERY slight such as Barracks Reactor > Starport for Dream whereas Maru goes Starport > Barracks Reactor. Maru had slightly tighter timing as Dream did supply block himself at the end but, see build notes in regards to that.
Another variation occurs when the attacks are underway at both bases as Maru lands in Dream's natural and Dream lands in Maru's main.
Dream responds by making a Raven @ Starport Techlab completion while Maru goes for a Banshee.
I'll leave it to you to decide which is best but, the game ends here with Maru winning.
The attack lands at roughly 4:14 on Oxide LE.
