The last time IdrA placed this poorly at an MLG he came back with a vengeance by winning IEM, placing top 4 kicking off an impressive run from Oct-Nov.

polt's build counters the stephano style. to negate 1/1 lings, get a very early stim for a push with 6-8 hellions support. WITHOUT shields, this directly negate the possibilty of banelings, which the idra style ZvT can hold off. spines are absolutely essential to hold early pressure, but dual site is a map whete static defense is horrible at the natural.

poor choice of strat and map combo, with polt guessing (known as reading) idra will do such a build.

better luck next time, and i thought idra would take more care into the games since he knows polt SO VERY WELl.

Yeah I know sitting back I cringed a little when I saw the map choice out of Idra. Would of much preferred to see an Antiga type map instead

He could have done a lot worse than he did. At this point, I am happy to see him beating players of Jinro's and Inori's calibers and only losing to great players like JYP or Polt.

He did play well, he could have gotten further, what's done is done.

He'll be back with a vengeance (I hope).

I think he had much pressures in game against polt. He had many supply blocks etc. If that game would have been played in different location than in main stage i think he would have done much less mistakes. I know he is very experienced but everyone are expecting so much from him and teasing him every time he loses.

( this is not an excuse, just noticed this)

So for those of you unhappy with me calling Polt cheesy, hear me out.

First of all I'm a little biased against Polt, ever since he said Jinro got lucky.. so I guess I'm sort of an Polt anti-fan (which is something I'm not actually proud of, anti-fans are really stupid). Basically I don't like his style of play. I mean, take the series against Idra. I didn't see the first game but going up to 4 rax that early is all-in-ish and abusive, which is quite similar to what happened in the second game where he went for the elevator Marine/Hellion thing. I mean, yeah it's effective, but the games are shit compared to a good macro game. Idra defended poorly, of that there's no doubt, but I would really have preferred to see macro games or something better, like DRG vs JYP.

Heck, Polt might be a good player but if he wants people (or at least me) to respect and/or enjoy his play then it would be nice to see something a little less abusive. That said, Idra should have defended that way better than what he did, so I guess I can't really blame Polt..


Either way, though Idra's MLG run could have been better, it could also have been a lot worse so I'm honestly pretty happy that things didn't turn out uglier than what they did.

Agreed, whenever idra loses a game, even if it is to some top caliber players, he gets teased for being bad. This is ridiculous, haters of idra should just shut up and let idra play without the pressure of worrying about getting teased by them when he loses. Polt is good but not unbeatable when idra is not under so much pressure. I have watched many games on his stream in which he completely destroyed polt when he is not under pressure, it is such a pity that he cannot unleash his full potential when he is under so much pressure.

How so? It wasn't a good macro game right? That's my point basically.

Somebody bans him please, he is clearly trolling.

You are saying he was all-in in the second game where he had 3 bases already?
Just stop playing/watching sc2 please.

Maybe it's not good for the audience that players like to cheese, but we have to remember that player want to win. Winning idra in a macro game is still very hard and many especially koreans know that. Therefore cheesing is the most certain way to win the match. We can't blame polt for that. (and idra would have held the first push easily with banes/second spine)

Lol... You guys are just stupid.
There is nothing wrong with applying some pressure while macro-ing.
If the Terran does not apply pression early game, he just cannot win any game...
