I can't believe the Bronze league bullshit I am reading in this thread. Naniwa lost because he opened Nexus first? That is bullshit, the attack hit after his Nexus had paid for itself, if he had lost to a proxy Rax or something then you could blame him playing greedy but not this. His 2 base income was the only thing keeping him in the game, until he couldn't spend it because of losing all his Gateways and Pylons.

He lost because he didn't scout it. Pretty straightforward, he had no idea the Thors were coming until they were at his front door. If he had seen it coming he could have held it easy. He was building a Robo Bay and 2 Forges against an all-in, he made an Observer instead of an Immortal, he was completely fucked and it was only close because MMA screwed up. His play was perfectly standard and not greedy at all, the only thing at fault was his scouting. And scouting that kind of all-in actually isn't easy.

I think polt is just happy to advance and realised that at least today and unprepared he was way below leenock's league..there were many much better followups if he really wanted to pursue a macro game

He played well, just not well enough against some of the best Koreans.

I definitely think he could do well in Code A, even place in Code S if he improved even slightly. His biggest set-back is that he always plays econ-risky and doesn't scout well enough to support it.

Naniwa plays ultra greedy, to the point of being "cheesy" or "all-in" except it's eco-cheese. I think the Koreans have figured this out (at least MMA and Polt) and he gets punished for it.

All the Protoss tears about Terran all-in are pretty offensive tbh -_-
