could be he was trying to psych MMA out like TOP said he was doing vs Nestea, or it could be that Combat Shield timing

Marineking seems to get rattled so easily. After game 4 it looked like he was panicking.

Risky early game. He punished him for it in games 1 and 2 and went away from it from games 3-5. Baneling busts would wreck MMA easily XD.

I agree. It was clear he tried to exploit MMA's apparent weakness in the early game in games 2 and 5. It worked well in game 2 but MMA learned to build more than 1 bunker in game 5 and that was the end of it

I think so too. The combat shield timing attack worked to perfection in game 2. But MMA mixed it up afterwards by going blue-flame hellion or getting more bunkers instead of fast banshee play.

Is crysis management in TvZ is pretty good, and if you saw the game on Typhon peaks vs Losira, you'd acknowledge that you've to kill him with your bust :D

But in TvT there is some way to have BO win with early bio push, and that's exactly what you said

he faced losira, huk, maka, alicia and now top - at least 3 of them are super experts at their vs t matchup - making his wins even more of an accomplishment

i dunno, i we cant really make a judgement on how good his TvP is until he plays against a good protoss. The only 2 good protoss he has played against are Alicia and MC. In the MC games, MC did a nexus first into robo, and lost to MM pressure, game 2, well the exact same thing happened.

Against alicia, alicia just simply played badly.

Im not saying polt is bad in TvP, i just think its unfair to say he has the best TvP in the world when he hasnt beaten a good protoss yet. The only times he has played against a good protoss (and they didnt fail horribly), he lost miserably (ace and choya)


lolwut

He lost to Choya 6 months ago. Ever since he graduated from Seoul University his only loss in TvP has been against Ace in the Asia Champions Trophy, which btw he's won twice. And the fact that you cite Choya as a good protoss shows how pathetic your argument is.

Alicia didn't play badly at all. People need to stop listening to Artosis when he confuses his feelings as a spectator with his analysis as a player. Alicia made small mistakes that Polt turned into big advantages but he never threw away a single game.

Everyone refuses to believe it but here it is: Polt is currently the best Terran in the world. And yes, he intentionally cuts SCVs for his pushes.

I think it's conclusively proven...

That If you want to be a top Terran player in Sc2, u need to have ur name start with M and be able to be shortened to 3 letters:

MMA
MVP
MKP

Evidently, the more 'M's the better.

Nope, I'm pretty sure a V is required to really be the most successful terran.

And there was a ramp. No way bunkers save your expand on meta whithout putting you far behind.
