Polt got maximum use out of his units by splitting them up, diverting his opponents attention. Is that really so different than rolling in a few banes and clearing out a mineral line within a couple of seconds, or doing a storm drop?

Yes it is. Because as Protoss and Zerg you have to pay 100% attention trying to survive earlygame vs terran while a terran never is in danger plus he has the options to do this stuff pretty early in the game while protoss and zergs are still forced to play very defensively...

It seems like none of you have a clue about good play and bad play and thus have to refer to imbalance after every result. Polt outplayed MinChul simple as that.

I don't know... Reasonably speaking, we can acknowledge that the game was created by *humans*. There are going to be balance imperfections. Some bigger than others.

And these guys are playing for a LOT of money. And this is supposed to be a contest of skill. Which is pride and talent demonstration.

Balance IS and *should* be a concern for these guys. I'm not saying balance is an issue *here*, but no one should ever belittle balance discussion. Balance should always be discussed.

Although I do think Marauders kill buildings too fast, the simple fact of the matter is that Iron LET that happen not once, but TWICE. All he had to do was scout his flank before he moved out. Marauders may be OP, but that Toss deserved to lose.

Yes marauders are good like that, but there's more than that to the game... Why did the protoss move in such a fashion to let that happen? Better maneuvering won the game.

The Terran player simply outplayed him. Fast banshee marine + PDD is not something you see every day on the ladder. The T player just made better decisions and went for the element of surprise, which is very good in tournaments. If he had gone for a more standard build, P player probably would have win. That P was actually incredibly good at standard play.

Edit: crakclings were late late T3 in BW. Marauders are super early T1.
