.

It's just a bit unexciting in the sense that the whole match's outcome just comes down to whether or not Poltprime loses too many units to hold off Nestea's reinforcements when pushing that third. It's not a fault of the players though - just the way the matchup is often played at the moment. It was admittedly quite touch-and-go for a moment there, I think

I'm pretty sure MVP's marine/tank push against Idra on Blistering Sands came at a faster timing than PoltPrime's marine/tank push against Nestea.

Any attack on zerg is an all-in, cool.

Anyway, Polt isn't MVP, he's far from Nestea in terms of skill and that game showed it.

His original plan wasn't to take a 3rd though he wanted to end it on 2 bases and when that didn't work it was pretty much over but he still tried to take a 3rd.

this, it was obviously not a stable transition. You can 6 pool and expand after it but in 1v1 that isn't stable.

hmm...so how did Nestea win? oh yeah...the backdoor, which screwed the T for a couple of minutes. Wouldn't have been the same on maps without backdoors even though the initial tank marine push failed.

I am rooting for maka; his creative builds in the last few tournies were great.

With some early pressure that push might have worked, even with polt's imperfect marine usage. Polt wasted 2 scvs and had to cancel a bunker early on

Play the map in other words. If the map negates it, dont do that tactic.

That was such a great contain break. Question: was nestea able to break it because he just had more stuff after being on the gold so long? I feel like the T had much, much better positioning and unit comp.
